Anthropologie

Now don’t get me wrong I’m in love with Anthropologie and their clothes and other products, but the staff here were not especially welcoming. I walked in and no one said «hi» which I got over except that as I walked the store every staff member that I passed just looked at me indifferently and then walked the other direction. Hopefully for their sake I came in on an «off» day. Otherwise the store seems well stocked and I like the layout, just not impressed with customer service. I think it’s especially noticeable because the other anthros I’ve been to have been much cheerier and helpful.

Love. LOVE. Love! LOVE!
Okay. I might be a little biased as I have always loved this place, and when I heard there was one fairly close to where I live, I got SUPER excited. I used to have to drive miles and miles and miles to get to one in California. Not anymore!
Anyway, for those who haven’t been to an Anthropologie, it’s an upscale Urban Outfitters, because it’s the same company, but mainly for ladies. They have clothing, accessories, shoes, gifts, and home goods like furniture, kitchenware, and linens. I have to admit that I love almost everything they sell. It has a lot of designer things, but lesser known ones. They sell a lot of items with patterns and prints on them, and I am a sucker for both. It is a bit on the more expensive side, but I can’t help but fall in love with this place every time I walk in.
The employees were welcoming when we visited, and the store was immaculate. They have a «sale» room when you walk in towards the left side on the right.
If you haven’t visited, I would recommend it.

I usually love this store, despite the prices. However, I just bought a $ 28 candle there and while it worked great the first time, it would not light after that, even with a slightly clipped wick. I called the store to try to find out whether they’d accept a return/​exchange and couldn’t get a real human on the phone which is a huge pet peeve of mine in retail. I won’t spend any money there again.

I LOVE this store! We just walked out of there with a $ 38 bra for $ 8. Yippee! When items are clearances they really mark them down!
I love Anthro though mostly because of their clothing. There are some amazing sweaters in their right now! The materials of the dresses and blouses and even scarfs is so super soft.
I love the candles! I love the bedding! The staff here was so kind and helpful. Did you know that if you are an Anthro member you get a special coupon for your birthday? I didn’t and was so tickled when my cashier informed me and made sure I got my discount. So awesome!
The only draw back for me here is I do have difficulty finding things because of the shop layout. It’s like a loop around the building and I can’t figure out the rhyme or reason for where things are or how they are grouped.
I can get passed that though. It’ll be my excuse for spending way too much time in here!

I love everything in this store! It is a touch of whimsical, freeing, fun, comfy, artistic, colorful, the list goes on. I has way too much fun and spent way to much money. I like to go not just for the adorable clothes, but the awesome bath/​home/​perfume collections they have.

While I enjoy the Anthro aesthetic, I find the prices a tad too high and the demographic is a bit older than myself– I’m more of a Free People/​Urban Outfitters type when it comes to clothes. I don’t need a whimsical book on birds or romantic tea cups. I tend to gravitate toward Anthro’s sales racks (which are pretty good, especially after holidays). I happened to be here the day after Christmas and saw a few potential purchases in the housewares sales section, but I noticed the long line of bored Lake Oswego housewives and decided I didn’t need them that badly.
I’ve found the workers here are a bit snooty and I am rarely acknowledged whether it’s walking around or trying to flag down a worker to get into a fitting room– I have had this happen in other Anthros too, so maybe they figure since I don’t fit the suburban mom trying to find retail meaning that I’m not worth a courtesy hello. Which is fine… I’ll take my business elsewhere.

LOVE this store. The kitchen items are great props for photography, the clothes are unique and beautiful.
Friendly staff, always welcoming with smiles.

mmmmmmmmmmm
It smells SOOOOOOO good here!!!
This is my favorite place to shop. The location is great. Free parking.
So many pretty things to wear and decorate with. Such a girlie place. I HEART Anthro!!!
I’ve been here many many times over the last 5 years.
It doesn’t even matter that the girls who work here are cranky and unhelpful. The way over packed hangers on racks is a little annoying. Like they don’t have storage in the back?
I’ll be back over and over and over!!!
xo

Yes another Anthropologie review…
What’s different about this location than the one in downtown’s Pearl District, is that it’s a bit bigger and more selection of clothes. Sometimes you won’t be able to find an item you like at the other store, this location would most likely have it.
But yes, the dresses here I must say are über cute. But I should just stick to window shopping, it’ll be better for the wallet!

Feck, I love it all! Even the smell — makes me want to do cartwheels, round offs, then land on my heels, jam a flower in my hair, and drop my Amex like it’s black. This is retail therapy at it’s best: todo tranquilo — muito legal! Kinda funky and definitely fresh.
Beautiful and sometimes unaffordable clothing but tax free shopping here helps. We have one in SF but the selection is a bit different. I like this one best.
DRESSES: chic, soft, and flowing to back out to dayuum fine. Nothing is trashy. Its all that: girl next door blowing dandelions on a park bench — skirt slightly above the knee — legs crossed. Hot, but not like you’re gonna burn for that.
TOPS: same as above but even better paired with fitting jeans. Ok, I’m sort of lying because the tops can be risqué depending on how you’re stacked, but over all the genre is soft-​cuteness/​pretty. My favorite top came from this store and I have yet to see anyone wearing it — love a one of a kind.
FURNITURE & HOME DECOR: country home/​shabby chic/​vintagish — not for me but maybe my cabin on
!?
SALE RACK: unprecedented — wicked deals — love! Huge!
Unless I’m wearing a suit, sweats or jeans and a hoodie, I like my clothes classic with a side of funky fresh but somewhat unique. I’m looking forward to shopping here again very soon. Perfect store for spring and summer wear. Check it out for yourself.
TIPS: Don’t go broke or you will get your feelings hurt. The online store has a good selection too.

Absolutely love this store. Great for presents for friends and family. And yes for me too. Clothes, candles, bath & body, kitchen items. and everything inbetween. A girls paradise! Your customer card? Comes in a cute little bag! Customer service is excellent too!

I can’t help it, I love clothes! I do! Cute cozy sweaters, shirts with silky, flowy, fabrics, and ultra soft cotton tees… I could go on and on, but there is not enough space in this review for that!
So when I feel the «need» to spoil myself with that one piece that makes me feel like and ultra sexy woman, I head to Anthro!
When I first walk in, I gaze quickly past the home goods and make my way to the back room where all the markdowns are… Yes, I like to shop but also like a great sale too! I found my favorite sweater last yr in this back room, and what a steal it was, I felt like I found the deal of the yr! Aside from the back room, I do love all their clothes, so many different and unique styles here. But be warned… a nice shirt will set you back 80+ bucks! Ummm… this is where the back room comes in!
I will however, put a bill on the back burner if I fall in love with a must have shirt from here… you betcha!!!

I have been to many different Anthropology stores around the country and this location is one of my all time favorites. Always beautifully stocked and merchandised so well, I always leave there feeling so upbeat and inspired. I happened to have met the manager Sandy off premises today and she was very charming and loves what she does for a living… it shows Sandy! Bravo and thank you for providing a great store with helpful staff and exceptional customer service!

Here is my, «thanks for making me feel like Julia Roberts in „Pretty Woman“ except you basically told me I didn’t know how to dress myself instead of call me a whore story»!!!
I head into Anthropology to look for a new shirt, something simple, not too dressy, but something that will look great with my new jeans. After shopping around for a while, I find a cute top, & head towards the fitting room to try it on. On my way, I stop to check out a pair of linen pants that catch my eye. I grab them, & head into the fitting room.
I am shopping with my husband, who is «patiently» waiting on the couch just outside my room, so for the sake of time saving, I tell him, I will try the 2 things on at the same time, so I can get his opinion, & he can be free to wander a more manly store.
For the record: I had not intention of putting these two pieces together to create an ensemble.
That being said, this is when the nightmare starts. So I come out to get my husband’s opinion wearing this top & pants. There are two sales associates fawning all over 2 other customers telling them «how great they look», telling them they «look fabulous in that color», telling them they are going to the «best dressed»… then, one of these little snots comes over to me & she asks me, «Ummm, do you need a different size or something?» Ummmm WTF?
I politely decline even though I wanted to ask her why she wasn’t kissing my ass too… THEN, I over hear her ask the other one «You would never put that outfit together, would you?»
Arrggghhhh. I headed straight into the fitting room, took off the pants, & shirt, & walked out of the store. (even though I had initially planned on getting the shirt)
How rude! I may go out of my house in sweatpants once in a while when I’m not even going to the gym, but dammit, I have not completely deboarded the fashion train! & I don’t feel I need to explain myself to a snotty little retail worker!
I proceded to drive my ass all the way to the other side of town to go to The Buckle… where I dropped a whopping $ 550+!!
As Julia said: «You work on comission, right? Big mistake. Big. Huge! I have to go shopping now!!!»

Not too long ago, I was shopping with my mom and had a quick return to make at Anthropologie. I hesitated even bringing her in, because I didn’t want her to know that this is where I blow my money… knowing darn well she’d hyperventilate at the thought a simple top could cost more than 20 bucks let alone $ 128 and spend a whole day chewing me out for my money management skills and how I should be more frugal like her. But heck, I was already at Bridgeport and so I bit the bullet and went in really quick, hoping to make the experience such a blur that she wouldn’t have time to stop and look at the price tags.
I walked in, went to the cash register, relieved that she wasn’t hovering at my side to see the price of the item I had bought. When I was all finished, I went around the store trying to locate the short Asian lady that I had so tactfully ditched on purpose, and I see her with a blouse in one hand, with her other hand going through more clothes. My jaw dropped in disbelief and I said, «Mom, what are you doing?»
She looked at me and said, «When I first walked in I couldn’t figure out where the clothes were (being used to clothes rounders like Macy’s)…but once I found them, they are all so cute! I love everything in this store!»
I wanted to say, «Who are you and what have you done to my mother?» Even though she couldn’t justify spending 80 bucks on that blouse she had in hand, she said to me, «Work hard and make lots of money so you can shop here all the time!»
Anthropologie got my mother’s stamp of approval. That speaks more than a five star rating in my world. I love this store. Even more so than the Pearl location because parking is free here… which allows me more time to shop to my heart’s content without wondering if my meter has expired. Yes, I wish it was a lot cheaper… but sometimes, it’s worth the splurge for something that fits so well, is unique, and makes you feel like a million bucks.

Anytime I pass this store… I have to go in.
Seconds after I enter — I feel, pure bliss.
Candles burning, walls filled with stylish and chic clothes and trendy happy spirited music… Amazing!
Anthro’s atmosphere makes the price tags seem worth the ambiance.
The walls are covered with creative and unique decorations — like a whole ceiling to floor piece made out of rubber bands?! Awesome!
I love anthro and I have a lot of stuff from there — I’ll keep going there regardless of the price tags.

I love Anthropologie’s clothes. I disdain Anthropologie’s high prices.
This is my favorite Anthropologie so far: Why? Large large large sale section.
Let’s just say, I spent more than I should have today at this store alone… But at least I look hottttt!

I want to look like a hooker.
Summer 2003. On my back, grass tickling behind my knees, a little white wine tipsy, Aimee Mann is singing «Save Me» on the Zoo stage. I am nearly one with the infinite blue sky and the soft hovering clouds and the cheery little birds. An incandescently perfect moment. It may have been enlightenment.
And then. One blanket to the right, the raccoon-​eyed blond slurs, shouting over the music at me and pals, «You girls sooooo beautiful! You look like hookers!»
«Oh, no no, that’s good. Hookers! My boyfriend’s a cop and that’s what they say about beautiful girls, You look like a hooker, so pretty. I love him, so brave. Can I take your picture to show him?»
Summer 2008. Me and the gals swarm Anthropologie, looking for flirty skirts, silky dresses, lowcut tops, all pearl buttons and ribbons calling to be undone. The prices are absurd and the quality is questionable, and yet… So pretty. I want to be tickled in the grass again, love the sky, find incandescent nirvana. I want to look like a hooker.
