Uroborus Mode Gallerie

It appears to be out of business. I went by and it’s not there and I just called and the number is not in service.
It was a really nice store too! :(

You know, I had to Unilocal after visiting the store for the first time but you have to know… I only write here if the experience is AMAZING or horrible. This was the latter. Here’s what happened.
Actually at first it WAS amazing. I was drawn in by the lovely ambience, aesthetics, window display, and ‘quirky’, beautiful clothes that others have mentioned. The owner, Gigi, whatever, has an EXCELLENT, talented eye.
She’s also may be a little off her rocker.
She was rude, invasive and abrasive in ways that I rarely have ever seen in a store ANYWHERE. I actually wonder if she suffers from some serious pain or trauma so i don’t wish to speak ill of her. But omg, you gotta hear this.
. I tried on a jacket that was lovely but clearly too small. It fit like a straight-​jacket, could not even move my arms lol. But she then began to try to convince me to BUY it anyway saying i could leave it unzipped… but also I could lose 40 pounds like SHE did (um…that would mean I’d weigh 85 pounds.).
I replied, ‘well actually i LIKE my body…” and she said, «well, if YOU like it that’s what matters…»
Then proceeded to brag about how psychic she was…
as she did I felt as if waves of darkness and sludge were washing over me like a broken sewer main. I could not leave FAST enough, omg. run susie run… out of the insanity… And honestly, sale lost,…because despite the too small jacket, i would have looked at other stuff except omg…
I was almost flying down the sidewalk, on fire to get away… to the safe harmonious waters of Buffalo Exchange where Pink was blasting on the sound system and and every one just says «Hey, how ARE you? and smiles when you walk in the door… recovered in the sweet, sweet sanity of it all… I promptly bought an adorable $ 13 ‘free people’ t shirt (how ironic was that).
And I even told the counter gals of my experience. They laughed and said they would stop there on lunch break for a diet advice/​psychic reading combo later that afternoon…

I live nearby and I have browsed at Uroborus a few times and always found the clothes to be fairly nice but a little on the frumpy and/​or quirky side. But I will definitely not be shopping here in the future because of the very rude service I received recently. My two year old and I were walking by and he started collecting leaves on the sidewalk in front of the store. I am 8 months pregnant so I sat down for literally two minutes on the ledge in front of the store. Almost right away, a salesperson from the store came out and asked me to please leave and sit on the public bench a few stores away. I was dressed very nicely and my child was being quiet, so I find this behavior to be very snobby. I am a local resident and often shop along Main Street in Santa Monica, but I will not shop here.

This is my GO-​TO place to shop. My closet is filled with interesting, wearable and unique clothing from this store. The staff is friendly and GiGi, the owner and designer, is a whiz at helping put together great combinations. There are always new items to choose from and the prices are very fair. And a big bonus is «Hoover,» a wonderful dog who, when he is there, comes to greet you at the door with a big tail wag and, if you are lucky, a kiss.

Very unique and stylish selection of clothing and accessories for women.

I have been shopping at Uroborus for more than 12 years. This is European design at a reasonably affordable price. It’s still a bit pricey but she has good sales and some bargains. She will also tailor anything to fit your figure… and she KNOWS how to accentuate your assets and bring out the best in YOU. I had a rush party to attend overseas some years ago and needed something special… in 2 weeks! She took one of her gorgeous bustier tops, fit it to my bust line and waist and matched it to a lovely taffeta long skirt. Perfect. Check out her store. It’s just across from Shoops and Urth. Remember that most of the staff is from Europe so they aren’t the typically silly blond giddy retail clerks, but they KNOW good design and quality craftsmanship.

I love this store. Very helpful staff and unique items!
Highly recommend this store to everyone.

this place sucks… the reason being the clothes are just alright and kinda expensive. i will never shop here again even though i used to all the time… i bought a dress from here and the next day i wanted to exchange it for some thing else that cost more money. i had my receipt and every thing and i was willing to pay the difference. the owner was so rude and so unhelpful. even though the receipt said i could exchange if the tags were intact and so on, the owner refused to let me do an exchange. this in my opinion is just bad business and because of how i was treated i will NEVER shop here again!

Great, unique selection, but absolutely the rudest, most unreasonable and un-​friendly customer service owner (Gigi is her name). Beware if you buy sale or any other item. They may fall apart on you immediately and you will have no recourse as she will blame you for «wearing them wrong». She also does not respond to messages, and is rarely in the store.

Walk in and give it a try. last time I was there there was free candy.

I LOVE this store. The fashions are unique, the styles diverse, fair prices, and best of all SIZE DIVERSITY! This is one of the only specialty boutiques in LA that carries more than one or two pieces above a size eight.
You have to take your time in this shop, though, or you’ll miss out on that $ 49 adorable, muted french dress that just fits perfectly but on the rack is overpowered by the $ 600 neon furry coat right next to it!
Only con, which isn’t really a fair con, is it’s hardcore return policy, but it’s a SMALL shop run by an actual person, so I empathize and am very careful not to impulse shop anymore, which is super hard in this store!

great, unique clothing. some of it is a little too detailed for me, but mostly i love the store.
