Duke & Duchess

This is more of a thank you note more than a review for my beloved Duke & Duchess. They are closing their doors very soon not sure exactly when but it’s coming. I grew up coming to this place in the early 80’s to get my new Levi 501’s and OP shirts and shorts for school and then later on it was Jimmy’Z shorts shirts and pants. This great Cypress icon eventually evolved into a great local mom and pop surf and skate apparel shop. I will be very sad the day they close their doors for good I know I’m not alone when I say DD you will be truly missed. So I want to say thank you for the many great years of service you have provided the local communities. I wish all the best in all your future endeavors!!!
Warmest Regards

I don’t come here often but I should. Everyone who works here has always been incredibly kind and helpful. What’s great about this place is they carry basic work clothes i.e.: basic polos and pants. Plus all their cute clothes, I will definitely be back!!!

If you like the beach style clothing or a great pair of levis with the small town feel then this is the place.
This place has been a staple for teens and young adults to get their style on without having to trek to the beach to get it.
If you don’t see your size or color, then just ask as they will special order almost anything at ni extra cost or minimum purchase.

This it the only place I buy my clothes at! Since I moved away from Long Beach I still make the treck out here to get
Goods! Keep up the good work!

Earlier today I walked into to Duke and Duchess not knowing what to expect. I walked out with a few new items and a smile on my face. I am pleasantly surprised with my discovery and will definitely be shopping here again. Upon walking in I was immediately helped by a kind employee. He helped me to find what I was looking for and more. The store had a large variety of men and women’s clothing based upon what I saw. So overall, Duke and Duchess is a great store with fantastic customer service that I am looking forward to returning to. I would highly recommend this store.

I had not been here for years so a friend and I decided to go right at the beginning of summer we were both looking for swimsuits. First of all right when we walked in we were stared down by this old white lady behind the counter, she literally glared at us& didn’t greet us or anything. Everything here is WAY overpriced which is hilarious because I didn’t know people still wore «Roxy» and all that other crap I wore in sixth grade. 60 dollars for a bathing suit bottom!? uh no thanks I went to target and got three bathing suits for that and they were cuter. I will never come back here and neither will my friend! I feel dumb for having my parents do back to school clothes shopping here when I was younger it’s a total rip off.

I love shopping here, even though I have little money always find something I like

I grew up shopping at this store. Over the years I’ve purchased clothes for my three sons at this store. My sons are now teenagers, the last few times I’ve taken them into the store the employees have followed my sons around. I find this very insulting and rude. You want me to spend my money in your store, but you don’t want my teenagers to come with me? I am no longer a customer and would never return.

i love this store… great prices and they carry larger sizes in surf clothes… always cannot find anywhere else and if they don’t have the size they will special order it. staff is great too. i have recommended this store to many of my friends for their husbands and children. christmas is right around the corner… a good place to start shopping for the holiday season

Helpful… yes! I saw that in another review and remembered that I felt the same way each time I go in. I like the prices too and they send me an email every time there is a sale so I can stock up on my favorite Levi’s.
AND, they carry large sizes!

All the way from Ontario, CA… I always manage to make my way out there to shop. I love it!

Great place to shop. Very helpful and friendly too. I have been going here for shirts and pants for 20 years. Always go during the Levis sales too!

This is a pretty dope store. There’s a huge selection of so many different brands of skate/​surf clothes here. I remember seeing lots of Volcom, Hurley, and O’Neill.
It’s also a great experience getting pants here. They always have so many styles and sizes available. They’ve also got tons of little knick-​knacks/​accessories like keychains and handbags.
Every time I’ve shopped here there’s been a sale and I’ve gotten tons of clothes for cheap. The clothes are cheaper than normal, but the sales just make it all worth while. Duke & Duchess is the shit.

I shopped here when I was in high school back in the 80’s. love this store!

For ages 2 to too Old for these kind of clothes.
Huge selection of Surf/​Skate/​Board Wear and even home and travel accessories.
They have a large variety of brands: Fox, Roxy, Quicksilver, Hurley, etc.
Most of the stuff they have is a different selection than you would normally find at a Chain Surf Shop. Because of course they have different buyers silly ;)
One thing that is unique is their selection of flip flops, travel bags and accessories.
Here is the list of random accessories you may find:
Quicksilver beach friendly/​Dad friendly Diaper Bag with Changing Pad and Insulated Pouch for Bottles
A Hurley Lunch Bag for the kiddo
Roxy «Trapper Keeper» style notebook for school
A Hawaiian Print Roxy Carry on Suitcase w/​wheels
But I’ll stop there, because I bet I had you at trapper keeper — didn’t I?
They always have a decent sale selection too — so it ain’t just for the bourgeoisie. ;)

Great retail shop for your surfer/​skater styles. They have all the brands that they carry at your local PacSun– Roxy, hurley, volcom, and some that you’ll only find in boarder shops like ezekiel, fox, HIC etc. etc. They also carry levi’s jeans.
What I love about this place is that the items are usually a couple bucks less than what they’d go for in the malls. Also you can find prints and screen tees that are different from what your friends got at the mall if you hate hearing «OMG i have that shirt!»
It’s a good place to shop for families I think, because they carry everything from little kids sizes to big and tall sizes. The staff is extremely friendly, and if you’re looking for a specific item that and they don’t have it, they often even offer to order it for you. But be careful when you go, I often drop in thinking I’ll only be there for 15 minutes, and end up browsing for an hour. Another great thing about the staff is that they won’t hound you even if you are in there forever!

Pretty cool spot that mainly the locals know about. I always hit this spot for new board shorts. The have a good selection of surf/​skate wear for both the guys & gals and a fairly good selection of aloha shirts as well. They also tend to carry the hard to find prints of various t-​shirt brands that you won’t find in the more mainstream shops in the mall.

we always pass this place on the way to marukai, its HUGE. they have a huge parking lot too, if thats full, there’s street parking.
i love when i walk into a store and get greeted, i love when there’s always a salesperson available to help, i do NOT love when 2 – 3 of them ask you every 3 minutes if you need help. yes, i understand its their job and they probably are bored but eh, it was a little too much.
they have a huge selection of paul frank. i love their selection of flip flops. probably better than tilly’s, pacsun, zumiez, etc. they have glass cases full of wallets, watches, etc. lots of purses too!
the brands they carry are levi’s, dickies, quiksilver, hawk, hurley, billabong, split, roxy, hawaiian island creations, ezekiel to name a few… their prices are about average. i picked up a billabong tshirt for my 16 month old and it was $ 10.95 — my flip flops were $ 17.95.
