Opening Ceremony

My wife decided to purchase a Mansur Gavriel bag there, I was tasked to pick it up and their kind staff was incredibly helpful and even helped run the bag out to my car! Great shop and stocked with the best stuff wish I could afford to get all of it.

Rudest staff I have ever encountered! I walked in and five staff literally just stood there and said nothing! They offered no help! Obviously too hipster and into themselves to be bothered to offer customer service which is there only purpose! Disappointed!

Met Simon tonight who is a gem and helped me decide how to pair my Comme des Garçons essentials. He was wearing this adorably dorky shirt and if I were straight I’d be jumping on this dude.

I have to respond to that comment that OC carries Korean brands and then overprices them. Same person said OC carries similar items in Korea, but adds a high mark up.
I’m a personal shopper specializing in high end items (OC being one of them, and then I enjoy the other brands they carry). I also lived in Korea for 3 years so I have experience to back this response/​review.
The one Korean brand that I did see they carried at an OC store was FleaMadonna, which is actually fairly priced (about $ 100-​$ 150 difference) from the Korean store counterpart. FleaMadonna is usually about $ 150-​$ 550. OC seems to have done a collab with some other Korean designers this year, but the VERY few pieces OC has are marked only slightly up from that. Reasonable from a business standpoint.
Also, OC carries Moschino, Jeremy Scott, MSGM, Kenzo, Alexander Wang, and then their house brand, which is highly BOOTLEGGED in the Korean market. Exact copies without the label neck tag and lacking the same quality. the fast fashion industry in Kor copies OC just as much! I just came back last summer and there are tons of shirts and hoodies that read Opening Ceremony 2002 on those same exact streets that person mentioned. Sadly, they were all knock offs (there is no OC there). So to say OC is copying a country, the road goes both ways here. Not trying to knock a country. Just giving insight!
As for the store, OC SA’s tend to be a bit hipster-​ish and weird. That’s what the brand is about. However, they’ve been attentive in my experience and cordial. However, you have to go in knowing OC is not only it’s own brand, but carries high end. You’ll get a bit of that snootiness even in Chanel, but they will go in the backroom and check for you on particular items that may not be out on the floor. The only down side is the size of this store. Definitely go downtown for the full OC experience. They specialize in picking very unique pieces from up and coming designers or eclectic high end. Most people would not recognize the names they carry so the price range will sound shocking. However, OC is a store that is also known for introducing cool but not that known brands into the market. It’s one way Jeremy Scott became known.
And for that lady who complained they waited 10 mins in the cold because the didn’t open at 11, really? 10 minutes. You survived. FYI– The website lists their Sunday hours for 12pm. 11am on normal days.
I do not work at OC. Just think some of these reviews are from those who don’t know the brand or are just being frivolous.

This place has a large collection of affordable jewelry with designers like Pamela Love. The workers are really nice and helpful.

I love coming here for inspiration! rarely do I get a chance to afford some of the pieces but today I scored! I just love the vibe here and the collabs.

You either get it or you don’t I guess.
This place is AMAZING and the staff is unusally helpful and friendly!

Amazing fragrances. The men clothing selection would be great for Asian customers (smaller frames). They carry Kenzo suits which i love.

Without question the worst interaction I’ve had with any staff member at a retail establishment. While trying to exchange a defective item I had purchased a few days earlier, OC’s staffer’s behavior was unfriendly, argumentative and just sophomoric — as if he didn’t care about my business and was above me. He went as far as to ask why I’d chosen to make the exchange at the Broadway location as opposed to Howard St and even asked if I knew how to tie a knot. Not a good way to retain a customer, especially at a store which sells items which any savvy consumer knows can be found in any number of competitive stores. Will never set foot back there again. C’est la vie.

OMG. one of my most favorite stores in the city. I really really love the selection here. The curation can’t be beat. I can spend hours and get lost and also spend way too much money! Service is great and friendly. :)

Clothes are great. I honestly prefer the online site to the brick and morter. I only drop by to look and i almost always buy on line. I am a very die hard fan of their end of season sales. I am there day 1 and the last day.
Went in here two weeks ago and had the best experience in my 5 year history with the store. But its pretty much the ideal situation. hard to go wrong. I walk in. See what i can’t live without. Price is perfect (50% off) i get my size (Jeremy Scott leopard print Adidas shoes). I say i will buy and they are brought downstairs to the register for me while i’m given time to look around more. I even got complimented on my socks (Happy Socks).

Lots of cute clothes and bags plus a decent selection of fragrances by Comme Des Garcons. Friendly staff. Prices are high but I kind of expected that. Saw a cute Chloe Sevigny for OC pink leopard print sweater but I wasn’t feeling the $ 375 price tag. I might stalk it on their website in case it goes on sale though. They also have Alexander Wang bags so I was able to pick one up and talk myself out of wanting one due to the incredible heaviness of the studded bottom.

Meh, I expected better. Indifferent and not the most welcoming staff. Despite this place was promoting fashion items and clothing from KOREA my hometown (it’s not owned by Koreans FYI), they didn’t even care to say hello or offer any help as I stepped into the store and it was probably like my 3−4^th visit. Crazily over-​priced items and «unique» if that’s what you call it fashion accessories and clothing.
However, I wasn’t astonished nor wowed as literally EVERY corner of Seoul’s Neighborhoods of Apgujeong and Sinsadong in Gangnam District (yeah Gangnam Style! lol) are filled with shops and boutiques that carry exactly similar or if not much more variety than this hipster wannabe pretentious store that are charging like 10 times as much. I know this part of town is trying to be something like «Meatpacking District» with trendy Ace Hotel, Stumptown Coffee Roasters, Oyster Bars, and Boutiques but hey let me tell you one thing, I don’t really give a damn about how trendy the clothes you carry are because the service sucks ass

fabulous selection.
huge fan of barton perriera, rachely comey, and comme des garcons so this place hits the spot. really cute store filled with amazing amazing clothes & accessories to drool over.

the halo effect of the ace hotel blazes on :) this store is small and cute, but the prices are ridic. i could go to an urban outfitters, pretend that they’re having a 90% off sale and be none the wiser.

Yep they are too cool for school. Pendleton knits, shearling vests, animal umbrellas. A little crowded with items, but if you have the patience, I’m sure you can find some gems. A hip, yet friendly, and surprisingly large staff of 5 – 6 adoringly watched a very cute tabby kitten video. And they sell the game Set there! P. S. I went to Cal with Humberto Leon.

Being from Anaheim, which is to say an extra extra average city, I was a little apprehensive about checking out an exclusive store in New York that appeared so confined and fashionable. Upon entering I instantly pictured the scene from Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts is grossly condescended to by the chic Beverly Hills staff.
Side note: For a straight man, that was a very homosexual analogy.
As it turns out, I created that awful scenario entirely by myself. I was pleasantly greeted, and shown service like I’ve never experienced. What a great store! Not only did they have unconventional and yet amazing clothes, they had a wall of criterion collection DVDs!
The manager was by far the coolest person we met in New York. She was friendly, and genuinely helpful, and gave us a little background on the store and told us about some of the celebrities that they’re involved with. This was definitely among the top shopping experiences we had and certainly the coolest crew we encountered.
