Inappropriate and Rude

by maconxoxo at Citysearch

I drove a long way because this shop had a brand I was seeking.

The owner and 2 women were talking and laughing...long and loud. When the owner was paraphrasing a private conversation they were having (which I did not ask for, she was yelling over people in the store to tell me for some weird reason). I said that I was just there to shop and didn't need to hear their business. The owner said in a very snotty way, well I guess you don't need to then, goodbye. (and looked towards the door)

I was flabbergasted.

Is it not okay to shop these days? Or is it a requirement to be gossipy teenagers to buy a bra? The owner should have helped me find what I was looking for vs. kicking me out because I did not want to gossip.

Beautiful store and Great service!! Highly recommended!

by AnaisD at Citysearch

I just spent 2 hours in that shop today, and I can say that I will be back!!! There are so many good things about this store: great selection of lingerie and nighties, perfumes and jewelery! Plus the salespersons are really helpful and so nice! They also provide fitting which is really good when you're not too sure about your size, and their bras goes up to H cup ( which is much higher than triple D...!) and in pretty embroidered bras!!

If you're looking for nursing bras, I would definitely recommend A LA FOLIE since they carry this brand that does really cute lacy bras and nighties.

The best part to me, as I'm a Jewelery lover, is their Jamie joseph selection and Nava Zahavi's! The pieces are incredible and 24KGold. So if you're looking for something unique, that's where you should go!

Now that I know they exist, they will surely see me a lot more!!

  • Pros: Service, selection, jewelery, ambience
  • Cons: Parking space

The only lingerie store worth visitin in the East Bay.

by tuttisweetie at Citysearch

I love lingerie, but had a hard time finding stores with a good selection here in the bay area. (I just moved back from NYC where my favorite lingerie shop is). A La Folie is the only store outside of San Francisco that I've found with a beautiful selection, lovely staff (and owner), and a comfortable setting. The shop stocks great European brands (some of my favorites like Huit, Prima Donna, Wolford, ID Sarierri) in a wide range of sizes. They have larger sizes which is often hard to find in small boutiques. They also have good basics. You will pay a pretty penny for it all, but it's definitely worth it! This will be my new lingerie destination!

  • Pros: beautiful selection, helpful staff, had my size!
  • Cons: a bit on the small side
