Lovely. I got the most incredible pair of sunglasses from here. I simply adore them. The shop is fantastic and it is so refreshing that the people that work there are not all in your face. They have the perfect balance of letting you do your own thing, but helping you when you need it. There is nothing fake about them. I think Prada purse needs to stick to Nordstrom. She doesn't deserve the greatness that is Magpie.…
A Customer's Response to "Deplorable".
I feel very bad for the women who work there. I agree with the girl who said providing her description is a defamation of character (great wording there by the way). The women who wrote that review
is clearly a spoiled women who probably hasn't worked in retail or customer service. I also think she exaggerated about the way she was treated in the store.
When I went to Magpie I had a wonderful experience! The man who was helping me was great and incredibly helpful. I had a blast shopping and I found some great deals including a vintage Christian Dior white dress shirt with the original tags for a little over $20 for my boyfriend. I am in love with this store. If you skip over it you'll seriously be missing out.…
Don't Bother.
I work not far from this little shop and the window's always look tempting with great vintage items in them. However I have been in there twice and twice I have had a bad experience, besides they're
a bit over-priced. My first experience several weeks ago I was interested in Jewelry in the display case. I must have stood there and peered in for about 5+ minutes before someone decided maybe they should talk to me, (2 ladies where too busy talking to help me, the customer). When I inquired about the item I wanted to see the individual that helped me was not very cordial or friendly. I just chalked it up to a bad day, we all have them and I know when you work with the public it can be trying at times. I let that slide.
Most recently I was walking by and was very interested in what was in the window. Now if you DON?T want to sale something in your shop - then don't put it in the window with other like items all with price tags. I was looking at one of the items because I wanted to give it a closer look before deciding to purchase it. I was promptly informed that the stuff in the window is not for sale and not to be touched....REALLY then why does it have a price tag and why was it hanging in the window?
Needless to say I will never be back and I?m going to blab, blab, blab to all my girlfriends and sites such as this.…
Rude. I just discovered this city search thing so I think I'm going a little crazy posting. It's so nice to be able to state what I feel about businesses. I can't tell you how many downtown places are just plain rude and this place was no exception. I stumbled across this store on my way to Johny Sole. What a mistake. I barely had time to look at anything before the front desk girl asked me to take my bags. I told her that all I had was my purse and my dog carrier with my dog in it and if I gave it to her my dog would freak out. She just walked away all mad. Now feeling uncomfortable from her response I left. Went to Johny Sole's place and found the cutest pair of summer shoes and a one of a kind summer dress. They never gave me any flack about my dog carrier, very helpful with the selection as well. Guess I can post something cool about them next!…
I love Magpie!.
Magpie is the one vintage/thrift store I can count on for a consistently amazing selection of clothing. They are inexpensive but the selection is amazing... you do not have to leaf through many items
to find a gem...
I much prefer Magpie to other "similar" stores in Portland (like Buffalo or Red Light) simply because there, good items are hard to come by and it's really luck when I am able to find something I love. At Magpie, I *know* I'll find cool things - and ACTUAL vintage merchandise (old old) as opposed to ugly early 90's wear.
Staff has always been very kind, personable, and helpful - no snobbery. yay magpie.…
