R+D Hipster Emporium

Shannon was extremely nice and helpful and knowledgeable: she helped me find my items I was looking for very quick. I think this store is very cool and trendy. I felt very welcomed when I came in. Shannon was on top of things she took care of two clients at the same time! This store is a great place to shop

I enjoy shopping here when I’m in the market for an item that is from an LA brand or brand that you usually have to buy online. I usually come in to see For Love & Lemons, WildFox, Show Me Your Mumu, Bedstu and Quay; Which they always carry. It’s the only place in Vegas to find Show Me Your Mumu which is great if you don’t want to order something online. Majority of the items are a little pricey but you can find deals when they have sales. They are limited when it comes to sizes of an item. Sometimes I can only find one size of an item left but maybe that’s just my bad luck and I come when the rest have sold out. The staff is friendly and the owner is often in the store and interacting with customers. Sarah is great and always helps me when I shop. In addition to women’s clothing, they also carry men’s, boys and girls, shoes, and accessories.

i love this store, and the employees… besides nordstroms. this is likely my «go to» for fun pieces,
seriously, the employees are so sweet… i feel like we’re friends…

I love this place. I can only come like once every month because I like to see entirely new product EVERYTIME I come in. Hahah
The workers are very helpful and give you their honest opinion.
They have so many cool items.

I have shopped here numerous times over the years. I have always loved their selection of kids’ wear. Great brands, especially for little boys. They have great sales and a friendly staff. I was SUPER disappointed when I visited last week and found several kids shirts with really racist Native American imagery. It’s not ok to sell tshirts with war bonnets on skulls and the like (there were 3 different shirts with various appropriated images, that is just one of them). I let the girl that was there know at the time and I hope they remove the shirts and stop carrying things like that. This is 2014, they should know better. I won’t be spending my money there until they fix their purchasing.

This boutique is awesome! They have a great selection of eclectic clothing for women, men, and children. I loved the selection of unique great quality pieces from designers that I know and some that are new to me. I love that their merchandise is not what every other «boutique» in Las Vegas carries. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I also loved that the staff was dressed and styled well !! So cute:) I am pretty much obsessed with this store! If you love great funky fabulous fashion that is fresh and high quality, you are going to be obsessed too!

LOVE THIS STORE!!! I always find my fashion staples at R & D. They carry the top brands of clothing for men, women and children! And, yes, there is a wide selection of Tom’s here too…
«Hipster» is just a kitchy way of saying we have the latest in hot, new, trending styles that will keep you on the crest of the next fashion wave!
The owner has a very eclectic eye and it truly shows in her careful selection of apparel, jewelry and the occasional coffee table conversation piece. She’s the first person to offer to special order your size if she doesn’t have it in stock! Great selection of some of the top selling brands… Wildfox, Blue Life, Uggs, Toms, Howe, Moods of Norway, etc.
The décor of the store is stylish… which completes the all-​around shopping experience.
So FUN!!! So COOL!!! And Hipster is a label that I wear proudly!!!

Love this spot, great for unique pieces. I can alway rely on RnD having great fashionable and quality clothing. Smells good in the store, it’s eclectically set up and decorated. Nice staff! Clean store inside and out.

Definitely pricy, but sometimes you can get a good deal compared to the original price.
Though they do have wild fox and toms there. :D

Personally, I love this store. I just moved out to Vegas from LA after 21 years and I must say no other store has pleased me as much as this little store has. In LA i’m used to little fashion stores w/​this sense of style everywhere so when I found this store I felt very excited to check it out. Prices are fine for me b/​c you pay for what you get, remember it’s quality over quantity (: One of the girls there named Alex was very helpful and turns out she’s from LA too. I am a very happy camper and will def. be back soon.

I love LA and so when I read reviews stating that this shop had an LA vibe, I immediately wanted to check it out. True enough, the tees and jeans are more angeleno than vegan, and it’s locally owned, which is awesome, but the prices are pretty high. When I’m in the market for a new look and have some cash to burn, I may find myself back at the hipster emporium.

WHERE: Located inside Boca Park, right across the street from Kona Grill.
WHEN: Monday through Saturday from 10am-​8pm, Sunday from 11am-​7pm.
WHY: If you like the whole «urban-​y» look, then this boutique might have it!
WHAT: I know the name of the boutique does not serve its justice, I was pretty hesitant to walk inside myself, but why not man up and walk into something new! I actually walked inside the store yesterday, and was surprised. Well, the thing that caught my eye was the huge TOMs sign they had, since I have a TOMs shoe collection started. Lol. They have some of the newer styles in stock, so if you’re a TOMs shoe lover like myself, go and check it out!
It’s a small shop with different styles of clothing for men, women, and even children! The kids clothes are extremely cute! 8). My friend purchased this small sac with a baby onesie inside. The outside of the bag said something like. «the sex of your unborn baby is predicted upon opening this bag.» So, the point of this story is… there are random things in the store, and you may be lucky to find something for you!
Oh yeah, in addition to my TOMs story, I found some cute teal ones in my size… and they were 50% off!!! WINNER!!!
SO KEEP AN OPEN MIND, AND TEST OUT THE WATERS.
(Pretend it doesn’t say «Hipster.» haha)

Looks cool from the outside, they had a pair of nice tee-​pees in front. When I walked in however I was confronted by not a whole lot of what I wanted. It’s like 109 degrees outside so why is it that the majority of what I see is sweaters, sweatpants, long denim, etc. When I walk in a store I’m not shopping for six months from now, I’m shopping for what I need right now. Tanks tops and shorts, I didn’t see very many. There was a selection of shorts, some ripped denim ones, leather ones, thick woven ones, and one pair of silk shorts. Tank tops, I saw one on a mannequin. I saw another one in black made of rayon. Just disappointed by the selection. Plenty of J Brand denim, some Joe’s jeans, however this is not the weather for long denim right now. Prices were not a big issue to me, clothing in a boutique for $ 60 — $ 200+ per piece is average, some things may have been marked up over what you’d normally find. Also, being that there are other boutiques in the area selling shorts and tanks for Sale/​Clearance prices $ 20 — $ 35 a piece, it’s a no brainer for me when I’m deciding who I want to buy from.
Pros, they have a large selection of children’s clothes which includes Joe’s jeans. The store was half children’s clothes on one side and then men’s, women’s, and shoes, on the other side. However, again, I was seeing a lot sweat pants and long henleys in the children’s selection. There was actually an unusually large amount of fur cap-​scarves placed at the FRONT of the store. Makes no sense at all, it’s June! On the good side, my 2 year old brother really enjoyed some of the things they sold for people his size so I would highly suggest considering dressing your fun child in some of the things they sell here. He really wanted a pair of native shoes in orange but the staff (who both seemed very nice!) let us know that they did not have them.
The style of the clothing was a little mixed, I didn’t get a cohesive feeling.
Additionally the style of the interior design of the store and merchandising was a BIG rip off of AllSaints Spitalfields. Anyone can have worn wood floors and worn hardware, that’s great, but the vintage Singer sewing machines lined up at the front with the horned skulls on the wall? Too much. You’re trying to sell hip/​trend and yet you cannot style your store originally. Overall, I was very turned off by the merchandising and the interior design.
I tried to search for their website but it appears they do not have one, a business without a website is very strange. There’s only a facebook and a tumblr, both of which are in dear need of updating, just like the merchandising in the store. FB and Tumblr are great tools for creating a fan community for your business but if they’re not being updated it’s just a dead end for those of us seeking more information about your business. Maybe they don’t need to promote themselves but they seem very stagnant right now.
Best of luck to them, they are probably doing well in that area since there are so many other boutiques and restaurants to keep up the flow of customers.

A good spot for TOMS hunting! I admit: I have a bias towards locally owned boutiques simply because I want to see more of them do well in Vegas. Ultimately, it leads to better gifts for everyone! Despite the somewhat disconcerting name (because who really wants to self-​label as a hipster?), I have visited R+D on two occasions. On the first occasion, I thought things were a tad overpriced, but the selection was interesting, very LA. I was store neutral.
Most recently, I have been on a quest fo shimmery TOMS. I don’t own a pair and quite honestly, had thought them pretty darn ugly. However, when in need of a flat to wear with socks, I decided they were a good option, especially when they shine! When I noticed a sign in the Boca Park lot announcing R+D carried TOMS, my husband coaxed me into perusing their selection.
Their selection of TOMS is huge! They have a variety of colors and styles for children, women and men. They even had a limited edition metallic style that I had not seen anywhere, and after being told they didn’t have my size, the owner stepped up to try to help find a replacement. She had them run an inventory of everything in my size, and voila: it indicated they did indeed have one pair of the shoe I coveted in my size! The owner went in the back and found the elusive pair, and I left the store elated with my discovery and purchase.
In additional to clothes and TOMS shoes, they also have jewelry, some cute gift possibilities for your trendy pals and even their kids, other shoes, TOMS sunglasses and some items from local artisans. If it hadn’t been for the owner, I don’t think the aloof staff would have found my shoes, but the owner was helpful and knowledgeable. Overall, this trip was store positive!

The stock is limited and does not carry a wide range of sizes. Everything that caught my eye was either a XL-​XXL. On top of that, the prices are steep. A quick glance around the store and I was ready to head out.

Nice clothes. –particularly if you’ve never shopped downtown LA before to buy them yourself. Sticker shock nicely managed by going to happy hour first across the street. Actually you know what? No thanks.

Just left R+D…again. It seems R+D is my go-​to spot to purchase gifts. I never leave without a little something for myself and/​or my husband either. The store has an amazing feel to it and the R+D girls are REALLY helpful. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE R+D!
