Anthropologie

What a fun store to shop in! I wanted to get quite a few things but because that means I would have to lug it all back to Hawaii with me I have to have some control. Well enter the manager that offered to waive the shipping to Hawaii. I did some major damage in there.

In general I absolutely adore anthro. This store however just always has the worst customer service. I’ve called a few times to have items set aside and I always get hung up on and then forced to have the same conversation with multiple people…
I’ve asked for help in the fitting room and been forgotten about multiple times.
Again going back to the same conversation with multiple people.
I’m new to denver so I know not anthro stores are created equal but now I just shop online to avoid this particular store. I’m not exactly a fancy dresser when I shop so maybe they think I’m just wasting their time at the store when I ask for help but for the prices of the clothes… It better be top notch service so you won’t see me in this location anymore.

I had the best experience today shopping at this Anthro. The ladies had something set aside for me (wrapped perfectly to prevent damage) and were so sweet even though the holiday rush was on.
My daughter was with me (age 7) and they made her feel like a queen. When we left she said she loved shopping with me and loved that store. I bought several items including 2 pillows and many plates along with a cute top.
Anthro, thank you for hiring nice ladies that are sweet and respectful. Keep up the good work.

Majority of the items in this store are made in China and other third world countries, and yet, they price their items as though someone is making them on location. The quality of said items is always low. I have spent $ 100+ on tops that have fallen apart upon wearing them one time.
I’m all about paying more for quality, but what are you paying more for here? This stuff can be selected locally for approximately the same cost, but while also supporting small businesses.
Don’t fall for their marketing.

This is my favorite antho in the Denver metro area. For me it’s the staff that is refreshing and always helpful and easy to work with on a purchase. Attitude goes a long way! Kudos to Cherry Creek Anthro!

If I am in the mall, I would always check out Anthropologie because the store always smell so good and I love their deco. Today I went there because the lipstick I bought had some defect. They exchanged for free and no fuss. I would definitely come back even though I can’t afford most of their stuff. :D

This adorable shop is near my work –if I had an accountant she would think this is a bad thing– and I’ve been shopping here for 5 years. I love the clothes and the sales even more. By the way, Tuesday is markdown day. Uh, I have got to stop telling people that.
I’ve made friends with several of the employees– I love it when shops have tenured employees– its a sign of a good boss. Alex, Sherry (sp?)and Eileen have all been consistently friendly, helpful and accommodating. I’ve brought to them some fairly uncommon scenarios and they’ve always taken care of me.
Color me disappointed that the bedspread I bought here has faded, but that’s my only real gripe.

I know I’m in the minority here, but Anthro clothing is just not my bag. Hateful politics of the corporate ownership aside, if I’m going to dress in over-​priced, overly precious and a little bit ridiculous clothing, I’m going to hotfoot it over to J. Crew and put myself in some lobster print pants, v-​neck tennis sweater, grosgrain ribbon belt with scottie dogs on it and espadrilles. But besides the clothing, this store has some adorable kitchen and housewares. Again, most are over-​priced and overly precious, but there are some simple things that I’ve seen here that are hard to find elsewhere. Like their cute, unpatterned but brightly colored porcelain berry baskets ($ 14 and they look just like the paper baskets you’d see at a farmers market), cereal bowls, butter dishes (too small for an entire stick of butter though?), measuring spoons, salt and pepper shaker sets, egg crates and funnels. Lots of lovely colors of the rainbow and things you can set out for display because they’re just that cute. I’ve bought dresser knobs here that in spite of being expensive, are very unique and rival the selection of any hardware or big box home improvement store. I saw some hand-​blown glass drinking glasses that were small but pretty and under $ 10 apiece. Another bonus of this store is the large sale section — both clothing and housewares. It’s a fun place to buy a gift for the food lover in your life. Huge selection of foo-​foo and ruffled aprons for those who like them.

2012 Review #4:
I’d like to go back in time to my 4 year old self and see what I thought I’d dress like one day. I doubt 4 year old me would guess that I’d frequent a store that seems to dress crazy cat ladies/​grandmothers/​hipster professionals/​trust fund babies/​middle aged retirees. Yet somehow, that’s where I find myself going time and time again.
I live equidistant from the 3 metro area Anthropologie stores. This puts me at a strategic advantage; these stores all get new inventory in at different times. This means that when one store is getting in a brand new item (Boulder), this store has probably already put it on sale. That makes for some happy shopping for me. I think the best deals I’ve gotten have been at this location. This is where I first fell in love with this store back in high school, and I think it has the best layout overall. There is enough room to walk around without feeling like you’re in a cattle car, the sales items are generally kept to one offset room for clothing, and one offset room for home goods. I also think this store does less of the «let’s hide hundreds of clothing items in nooks and crannies» like so many other stores seem to do. The accessories are also right in the middle of the store as well, and home goods are generally relegated to the right side of the store.
I will say that sometimes I come here and find absolutely nothing, and sometimes I see tons of stuff. I rarely buy something at full price here, but the few times I have, they have been items that were very popular or were hard to find. I bought an awesome, but pricey, pair of Matryoshka pajama pants here, and I never saw them again, not even online, let alone in another store. My items from Anthropologie have held up over years of wear, and I have managed to score several jackets from this store, all for under $ 50, originally priced between $ 120 – 200. There is definitely some «wtf?» stuff here sometimes, but there is also some absolutely breathtaking merchandise, and those finds make it worth it.

I received AMAZING customer service @ the CC Anthro today, so much so that it prompted me to write my first Unilocal review, and contact their customer service to applaud them. My dry cleaner recently lost a dress that I purchased at the store in 2008, so when I was in the mall today I stopped to ask if there was any way they could help me provide documentation for the price (thinking there would be no way, and I’d have to jump through a bunch of hoops). However the employees I spoke with were SO helpful, and able to search for the dress in their database, provided me with as much info as they could, and sympathize with my sad lost dress story. I really appreciated all their help!

I love, love love Anthropologie! The fact that you can get unique, quality items for any type of event is great. My most recent purchase is the cutest apron I’ve ever seen. Now I can bake to my hearts content and not worry about getting anything on my clothing… although the apron is so cute I don’t want to get anything on it either!

I love this store! the Cherry Creek location always seems to have a great selection of sale merchandise. The full price stuff is just too expensive and usually ends up on sale eventually. So basically I just go straight to the back of the store where all the deals are.

I’m a recovering Anthropologie addict, but once in a while I can’t resist crossing the threshold to check out their sale racks. Occasionally, you can find a fantastic deal, but you have to keep your eye out — for your best chance on finding great sale clothes, I recommend going during the week, like on a Wednesday or Thursday. If you wait until the weekend when everyone and their sister are shopping, you won’t find as good a selection.
I just have to give a shout out to their management. I bought a few sale shirts today (it’s been a while since I shopped, ok!) and although I’m not usually this fussy, one of the tops had some damage to the front so they agreed to give another 10% off. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized they didn’t actually take the discount off, so I called up and the manager was nice enough to credit me over the phone. So, a high five for them.
I do still think their clothes are super expensive (albeit, really beautiful) and have only had trouble with their Moth line, which is occasionally shoddily stitched together.
Also, I think it’s entertaining to walk through the Cherry Creek mall in my hipster hat, ratty jeans and old tshirt and get the slightly wary up-​and-​down scan from salespeople. Dude, I have money to spend here so don’t look at me like I’m weird. I clean up nice.

Anthropologie is one of the very few truly unique stores at «the mall.» If it were not a chain clothing store you would swear that it should be on Pearl Street in Boulder.
I really like the colorful fashions, just this side of quirky, but not weird. It’s hard to find fun dresses and skirts that don’t all look the same in most other stores — but Anthropologie has an entire store of cute dresses to choose from. There is also a good selection of great looking, high-​end jeans as well.
Anthropologie is not for everyone. If you only wear monochrome, tailored fashions, or if you are terrified of wearing something that is a bit on the youthful side, don’t bother. But, if your not afraid to mix things up and are tired of the same old Banana Republic /​J Crew outfits, Anthropologie will give you just what you need.
My daughter LOVES the household items including linens and kitchen wear — all of which look like they belong in an eclectic cottage. Not my thing, but I can see why some women like it.
Caution: Anthropologie’s fashions and hard goods come from all over the world. Overall the quality is very good but I have seen some things that look like they might not make it through a few trips in the washing machine.
The staff is department store friendly but not especially helpful. They’ll get you a fitting room and find you another size but that’s about it. Don’t expect a lot of help. But hey, it’s the mall.

Dearest Anthropologie,
I love you so much! Your clothes, your accessories, your household goods… they entice and hypnotize me with their beautiful quality, sensual design, and overall explosion of pure and utter adorableness. I’m head over heels for you, yet like a naughty child caught with her hand in the cookie jar you reprimand me with your outrageous prices. Although those shoes and dress cost me nearly half a week’s salary I could not help myself. Do I ever end up homeless on the streets of Denver I shall blame you… however; I’ll probably be the most stylish bum the world has ever seen!
with love, admiration and an empty wallet,
Laura
Oh and on a side note: to the girl complaining about the exchange policy, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve bought dresses from here, worn them to weddings and returned them the next day no problem *shhhhh don’t tell Anthropologie please*
In fact I once bought a dress, decided I didn’t like it, returned it for another dress, decided I didn’t like that either and returned it for a full refund all in the same day (yeah yeah, I’m an indecisive SOB I realize this). In my opinion, their exchange policy can’t be beat… if you want a shitty exchange policy then head over to Forever 21

Anthropologie has a great selection of pretty, feminine clothing that doesn’t look like the run of the mill kind of clothing you get at other stores. The clothing is very sophisticated, romantic, and chic.
Gorgeous home décor and kitchen items. A lot of stuff I don’t need, but somehow, I end up at the register, handing my credit card to the sales associate, hoping that Mastercard won’t mind pushing my credit limit back a bit. Again.
Like everyone said, this place ain’t cheap. But you’re definitely paying for quality here. If you need something cheaper, walk across the mall to Urban Outfitter’s, which is a bit cheaper.
I wish I had an apron since I cook so often (read: eat out often), so luckily I can find one here. I think every woman (and even every man) should have an apron and do the whole Donna Reed thing every once in awhile (borrowed from both the Donna Reed Show and Gilmore Girls).
So many pretty, romantic looking items that will help even the most butch woman feel feminine. Lots of journals, books, calendars, purses, wallets, and candles.
Follow the herd of women back to the sales section in the back. It’s pretty big, but you might get elbowed when trying to look at the racks. Nowadays, finding something in sale is the In thing to do.

I really love Anthropologie — and every time I go in I find about 100 things that I would love to buy. Unfortunately I don’t usually find $ 100 when I enter Anthropologie, so my shopping experience here has been limited.
That said, I have purchased a few items from Anthropologie and loved them all. Most recently, I purchased some unique drawer pulls (cute aqua crystal style) to replace the ho-​hum drawer pulls that came with some office furniture I purchased at AFW. The drawer pulls really gave a cute look to the furniture and didn’t totally break the bank!
I will continue to shop at Anthropologie — and maybe in ’09 I’ll actually live up to my hope of saving up and entering the store with some money in my pocket!

I love love love the clothing, shoes, jewelry and home stuff here.
But, I just can’t shop at this place anymore… their return policy is pretty bad, and considering I can get most of the same stuff either at Nordstrom or Decade or some other place, I’d rather either support Nordstrom who has the best return policy ever, or a local business.
It really does pain me to walk by the store and not go in, but for the price of their clothing they should offer better return policy (i.e. customer service).

I just found the perfect hat for me here and that’s saying a lot since I wear earmuffs every winter in lieu of a hat because hats make my hair static-​y and messed up. This hat however looks like something that came of out the 30s. It’s white and loose fitting enough to avoid the static and it has a flower on the side of it.
I also love their girlie dresses that they sell. And it’s true, as Adam R says, that you can pretty much please any lady in your life with a gift from here. Because they sell everything — things to wear, things for your home, accessories and so on.
It’s also true that it is super expensive so those ladies better be pretty special for the money you’ll be shelling out. But, the quality shows and these items will all easily last long enough to justify the cost.

What an amazing store. So beautiful, and creatively decorated. Every time I’m there they have new eye candy, and I’m not talking about the merchandise. They have people on staff who work just on layouts and decorations, which are elaborate, although inexpensive, and amazing. Today I went to the Anthropology in Boulder, CO, on 29^th street and it’s even more amazing if you can imagine. If you like the one in Cherry Creek you’ll love the one in Boulder!
They specialize in designer womens clothing but they also carry things like unique dishes, lanterns, lotions, aprons, sculptural pieces for your coffee table, all kinds of wonderful things to give as a gift or to treat yourself to. The items are a bit pricey but they do have tremendous sales, look in the back. The staff are made up of young, fashionable, attractive women, spread few and far between. Go to the chic fitting rooms if you really want help.
If you’re into set decorations, window displays, or just outstanding ambiance you’ve got to check this place out. It makes me salivate!
