Amelie

The employees are super sweet and helpful. The store keeps up with the latest trends and is beautifully decorated with animal skulls and art work from local artists. It is definitely one of the better boutiques to shop at, in Claremont.

This store is stocked with fantastic goods and employees who have very unwelcoming energy. Every time I’m pulled into the shop because I see some fabulous thing in the window, the employees put me off spending my money. I’ll choose to circulate my cash in a place where I like the people and the products.

I shopped at Amelie years ago, and due to their rude and unhelpful service I still have the LAMB T-​shirt purchased from there with the tags attached. I was given the run around when trying to exchange a Christmas gift without a receipt. I was told it would be fine, then told that no, I couldn’t exchange. They treated me like a delinquent. Patronized me by calling me a child, and basically accused me of theft. Definitely no way to run a business!

Great clothes, wonderful staff. A hidden gem! If you are looking for fun clothes and want great style shop here!

I love this boutique! Definitely the most fashionable place to shop for clothes and accessories in Claremont. Love their selection of Samantha Wills Jewelry and that they carry my favorite brands of clothing that you’d have to drive to OC to find. Love Amelie! A bit pricey but that is because of the high end brands they carry so not a negative.

This place is really cute… the prices are a bit high, but the service is good. I picked up a Voluspa fragrance there that’s pretty hard to find unless you go online. The clothes are stylish, but a little out of my price range.

This place has some cute pieces but I don’t recognize the brand names yet everything was super duper expensive. I mean like $ 150 for a top and $ 108 for a necklace. They also carried jeans such as jbrand but they were in upwards of $ 200 and I can get it for half on ebay or nordstrom rack.

I have been meaning to write a post on here for some time now but just have not got around to it until I happen to stop by the other day and was reminded why I had stopped coming here. From the outside look and first impression this store can come off as very elegant and nice but once you look around at not only the clothes but by the employees she has working for her you begin to see it is all just for show. The clothes she has are way over priced and cheap. The last 3 shirts i purchased from her got holes in them within the first week or two of owning them. Now when im paying $ 150-​$ 200 for a nice shirt I expect it to last, this all happened before the first wash even. When I approached Sydney about refunding or exchanging the first shirt she was very rude and short with me. I have spent my share of money in this store and to be treated like that was a slap in the face. The owner (Sydney) thinks she is better then everyone around her. She is very into gossiping about people, even her own employees behind their back. Some of the girls she has working in her store are also very rude. Recently when I had gone in on the weekend to shop, there was about 2 other customers in the shop when i first arrived. The 2 girls that were working were standing behind the counter whispering and giggling, not once did they look up to greet me or ask if I needed help. 30 minutes into my shopping I made my way to the dressing room where I stood for 5 minutes waiting for them to acknowledge me and ask if I would like a room. No such thing happened. I had to interrupt them and the girl rolled her eyes at me as if I was interfering with her conversation. After being helped she proceeded with her convo in a whispering tone. I could not make out what she was saying but I did over hear hear them make a reference about me and whisper then start laughing. When i was done I made sure to let the girl know I had heard exactly what she said and the look on her face was very surprised and she had nothing to say. Now youd also think working at a higher end boutique they would have some sort of dress code or the girls would be nicely dressed since they are also their to help you shop and make money off what you buy. There is a blonde girl that has helped me in the past, she made reference to the fact she had attended a fashion school, FIDM, she was however dressed a little tacky. She was wearing some leather boots jean shorts and a wrinkled shirt, her hair looked like it had no been brushed and she looked like she had spent the night out drinking and did not change her makeup. It is not a good impression for a store that is trying to sell high end clothes. She was very unprofessional. It is said to see how they have all just let this store go. I dont see hardly as much traffic in and out of this place like in the past but with an owner and employees like this it doesn’t surprise me.

Cute! I love shopping at boutiques… Everytime that I am in the area I stop and buy myself a little something here…

Amelie is a store where you’ll find high end clothing that you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re looking for something special and don’t want others to be wearing it, check it out! The owner and sales gals are all great. We have been in there multiple times to find the same great service. The shoes are great too!

No matter when I go there they have the right stuff… The sales people are always right on & helpful… I love the store. This ones a keeper!!!

I just went in here the other day to shop for my girlfriend! LET ME TELL YOU! this place is great. Amazing staff, great selection of fairly priced clothing, great jewelry, contemporary lines… but all in all a great place to shop! way better than that **cough cough** snobby isabella D across the way…

I love Amelie!
I buy most of my clothes there. Even though I have moved to LA, I still come back to shop there. It has a great selection and helpful staff. It is so nice to not have to go to department stores. I love that I am also supporting the local economy.

Staff has gotten much nicer than when I first started shopping here a few years ago — they are friendly and helpful if you talk to them. CUTE STUFF even if I have to put it on my credit card because its kind of expensive… LOVE IT:)

I hate to edit my review and feel that an update is necessary. I have popped into Amelie about three times in the last year and have to agree with the posters below. A lot of the clothes look very… cheap. Like, Forever 21 style, yet the prices are still too high. I don’t recognize any of the brands (maybe they are fashion district/​Downtown LA) and wish they would bring back some recognizable names (Nanette Lepore, Cynthia Vincent, James Perse etc.)
Bummer.

Super cute store right in the village perfect for a stroll in before a cozy lunch in old downtown Claremont. Friendly and knowledgeable staff; so refreshing not to just have someone sitting behind a cashwrap reading a book or something. Bought some great handbags there, even cute books and candles. Great buyer, well merchandised, good sales and promotions, even helps out the community with local events and charity. Join Amelie mailing e-​list and facebook page, plenty of up to date info.

I have visited Amelie a few times. The staff is super helpful, and the selection of clothes is modern with beautiful details without being overdone. She also has amazing taste in shoes. I go for more of a simple-​chic look, and I usually find more than I need at Amelie. The owner is often there and she is full of information about putting things together and how to wear some of the accessories. I love this store.

Little boutiques are cute. I’m all for supporting the little shops that give good service. My only qualm is that the last time I was there, there were a lot of things from old seasons but still at full price. I understand little boutiques can’t compete with Bloomies or Neimans but once things are no longer of the current season … or even from the past two seasons, the price should probably be adjusted.
It’s nice to have a shop that carries some cute things from various lines located right in the village. Like I said, I love little shops.

It’s high time the Village got a high end super cute boutique. I love this place. It’s worth the drive. The owner is really really nice and knowledgable and can always tell who you’re wearing. They carry the same sort of stuff as The Kids Are Alright, many of the same designers. I’m so happy for the Inland Empire that they finally have a decent place to buy cute clothes.
Update: 7÷7÷07 went there last weekend and was disappointed. don’t bother with this one.
