Marni

Mae, the manager at this Marni, was so down to earth and easy to talk to. I breezed by the suited security guard and into the store when she greeted me warmly with a spry friendliness I wasn’t quite expecting. It was my first visit to any store in Crystal’s at City Centre, and I half expected a snooty well-​coiffed saleslady to look down her nose at me and my raggedy old handbag, but Mae was the opposite of that. She offered me a bottle of water and checked up on me several times as I browsed the store.
I’ve loved Marni’s designs for years. Most pieces, if not all, are Made in Italy (which means I’m a size 38 here). Somehow flowing, airy, and structured at the same time, I wanted to try on everything. But as usual, time was limited, and Mae was so helpful in showing me what was marked on sale and even going into the back room to pull out sale pieces she had previously put away, along with a few things that were still fully priced.
The Marni displays are always so pretty, and this Las Vegas flagship store with its curves was no different– there was a hint of vintage outerspace. Chrome arches flow and swoop around the boutiques at different heights, and from these arches hang the whimsical clothing items. An undulating half wall displays stylish chunky shoes, while against the real wall are lighted cutouts for the handbags. The store is bright and laid out in a circular-​shaped room, and more circles are cut out from the ceiling. The dressing rooms are white, airy, and shut with actual doors, and the pale blue carpeting and large mirror help you see yourself.
Unfortunately, my budget said I couldn’t spend anything here on Monday, but perhaps when I’m rich, I will be able to really take advantage of Mae’s help!
