I love this cute boutique!!! The clothes are unusual and unique. I am so glad there is place where you can buy clothes and accessories without having to travel to a big city. I love the fact that she offers sizes from small to large. The store itself is beautiful and the help is Great. I get so many compliments when I wear their clothes. The new location is convenient to other great shopping and restaurants. If your looking for something different and fashion forward I would go to Boutique Hope!!!!!
Pros: selection of clothes, service, clean, location, parking in rear of building
Cons: store credit only on returns

I used to come to this little shop when it was in Oakley, and I loved it. The girl working (brown hair, never got her name, she was in college) was always so nice to me. I could go in and shop, -she would get my kids toys to play with- and she would chat with me. She was very nice to my children- she played with them on a few occassions too so I could try on clothes. I don't think she works there anymore, I wish I would have gotten her info to babysit! The store moved recently, and it's different now. I went in last week and was shocked. I met the owner and she wasn't very nice. The woman at the register had a look on her face suggesting that she didn't approve of the way the owner was talking to me, and looked at me sympathetically. It wasn't really the things she said to me, she was just condescending. I tried on a pair of jeans anyway, depsite this, and got to talking to the woman at the register. I asked about their Aoyomi Itchome ( I have no idea how that is spelled, but it's of Japanese origin) and I found out that this company is on the US's child labor list. Another label they carry is also on the US's Child Labor list- so yes, the lines are unique, but only because other businesses don't carry clothing lines that employ child labor. I returned my purchase the following day (after feeling guilty, and terrible) and explained why. The woman at the register (blonde) told me the owner would never consider dropping the line! So, overall, I have to rank this store poorly, despite how well my children are treated when I shop there... fact of the matter is though that so many other children aren't treated well, and this shop is supporting it, whether they want to believe it or not.
Pros: They take care of your children so you can shop!
Cons: They support child labor by carring clothing made by children, the owner was rude and condescending
