Varga

I’ve come to accept that this place just isn’t petite friendly. Maybe if you’re tall but most items I tried overwhelmed my small frame despite really liking done of their items.
I asked my sister to process a return for me since I live hours away and I wanted to complete the transaction within the return window. She said it was quick and easy except they wouldn’t give her cash. Instead she handed me a gift card with my receipt. I didn’t love this. I would have preferred a cash return especially since the location is inconvenient for me but stores are welcome to have their own policies.
Almost a year later, I walk in to use up my store credit and the employee tells me the person who gave my sister a gift card (who conveniently no longer works there) followed the wrong protocol. He is annoyingly repetitive and just repeats over and over that the girl messed up and they should have added a name to the system. Eventually, I scour my car and find the original receipt which allows me to finally be done with the place and use up my credit.
Accept returns. If not, don’t give people meaningless gift cards. In most cases, I don’t keep receipts especially after a return had been processed. At the very least, hire competent workers. The employee had to call his owner to see what he could do even after I found the receipt! The system is antiquated. Seriously, if you need to add people’s contact info and you can’t even do that competently, just accept returns! I’m especially peeved because my sister originally walked in (a week or two after the initial purchase) with my receipt. I didn’t appreciate wasting my time and dealing with incompetence. I will not be back.

I love coming here to find unique clothing pieces. It doesn’t hurt that the store manager is always helpful. He makes amazing suggestions, which is amazing when you are feeling lazy or on a time crunch (ie. lunch break). They have plenty of pieces which can be mixed and matched, and can flatter all body types.
My favorite aspect here is the customer service. I love shopping in a place that makes me feel that I belong. A warm reception can come a long way. Therefore, I never have left this place empty handed. He (I feel bad that I can’t recall the name at the moment) also remembers my previous purchase, thus becoming more helpful in suggesting additional pieces.
Prices are reasonable. Clothes are not cheaply made. I get compliments from my purchases here. My sister loved the place as well. The pieces here vary from vintage to beachy to classy.
Parking is shared with the other businesses in the area. The only time you might have an issue is during lunch hour. Definitely, swing by this place if your wardrobe needs an update!

I’m giving it 4 stars for what it is: a cute shop for clothing and accessories that is geared towards women 18 – 28. The good thing, is you won’t be wearing Forever 21 (read: you… probably… won’t walk into a bar and sit next to a girl wearing the same dress as you if you buy it from here.) However, the bad thing is that everything here is about $ 15-​$ 20 more than it would be at Forever 21 but looks like it will deteriorate just as quickly. Their sizes are also off. I am usually a size 4 (Calvin Klein) but had to buy a size Large dress here because the medium was extremely tight in the arms but a bit loose in the mid-​section. I also tried on a size small shirt and it fit, so go figure on their sizing…
The lady who tended the store was very attentive and offered suggestions like «you should wear this with a belt» and «if you don’t like this in a dress we have it as a shirt.»
All in all, it’s worth visiting because it will be a pleasant experience. They have a loyalty program where they take your phone number and track your purchases. I think you get something like $ 10 for every $ 100 you spend at any of their locations. I’m sure I’ll be back.

I needed some retail therapy today since I am having a bad day at work. I was walking back to my car when I stumbled into this place. I love this store! It’s such a cute boutique store with moderate prices. That is hard to find in this area! I love the dress I purchased. The décor in this place is super cute. It’s vintage-​y, with a frilly feel and yet at the same time feels modern.

I love this store!
While the clothes are often a hit — where I want to buy everything, several times it’s a miss –where I can’t find one cute thing in the place, but the layout and décor of the store is just so freaking adorbs. I love the chandeliers and the vintage dressers and the jewelry stands and benches and tables throughout. It’s definitely not your loud and crowded and overly trendy Forever 21.
The clothes are pretty affordable for such a she-​she place… I think the most expensive thing I saw here was about $ 70, however, I usually wait til everything goes on clearance which is 50−60% off the original price! And they must have a lot of tiny ladies in the South Bay, cause my size is always still available!
There’s usually one person manning the store at a time, and she’s usually super sweet and gives you input on whatever you’re trying on.
This place is on my weekly lunch rotation since it’s next to La Sirena, Fish Grill and Veggie Grill… not to mention, behind Whole Foods. Very convenient to just drop in and spend a little more dough on this place.

The clothes are cute, but the customer service is really bad.
When i first came in they did not great me once! I walked around for 10 minutes or so and no one came up to me to see if i needed any help. So i left, what made me not want to shop there was the service! i don’t care how cute the clothing is I’m not going back.
Being a sales associate is about having GREAT customer service experience!

Varga is a boutique that sells cute, moderately priced clothes and accessories.
The manager, Michelle, is great when it comes to suggesting items that compliment each other or if you just want to chit chat! I’m used to seeing boutiques carry the same items as their competitors but that is not the case with Varga. Their items are pretty unique and you wont find them in other stores, which is always a plus :)
Parking is sometimes difficult because Varga is in a shopping center with many other clothing stores and restaurants but its all worth it !

Love this cute little boutique! Can’t believe that I drive by here all the time and this is the first time I went there!
It’s in the El Segundo Plaza so it’s in a very nice shopping area.
The boutique is well decorated and really chic.
They have really cute and unique items. You don’t have to worry about running into someone else on the street who might be wearing the same thing. The best part is that it’s extremely affordable. Which is surprising considering that in LA, almost every boutique that you go to will be overpriced.
The sales associate there, Monica, was very helpful and really friendly.
Definitely going back here!

Michelle is fantastic.5 stars!
Michelle is a really talented stylist and the main reason why I shop at Varga. Varga is a cute local boutique that has cute new items each week. However, there are a lot of cute boutiques around town with lots cute clothes. These days it’s difficult to find someone at a retail store who is attentive, friendly, knows their product, and gives AMAZING customer service… that is Michelle! She will pull things off the rack that you never dreamed of wearing… you put items on and look A-​M-​A-​Z-​I-​N-​G! Michelle is basically a personal stylist ladies!!! The more you stop by the better she gets to know you and your fit and will have items set aside for you!!! She will call you when new shipments arrive!!!
In a world of shrinking customer service and salespeople who sit on their cell phones and text while you are shopping… step into Varga and experience what shopping in a boutique is supposed to be… all about the customer!!!

The girls are so helpful very nice and it doesn’t hurt that’s they carry cute clothes at good prices. The store is very neat and has great décor.

5 Stars to Elisa for helping me find some amazing clothes at Varga tonight!
I have always thought that Varga has a really great selection of clothes. It’s pretty much on par with what you would find at an online store like ModCloth. Prices are similar too, with most items in the $ 28 – 44 price range. And best of all, everything is so original — you won’t find other girls on the street wearing these exact same clothes like if you shop at F21 or H&M.
I picked out a few things for myself, and ended up liking 1 item. However, the items that Elisa picked off the racks for me were all winners! She grabbed me a dress, a belt, a sweater, and a tank top that were all amazing. Usually when people try to grab clothes for me it’s just like they’re grabbing random stuff. But you could tell that Elisa put some thought into it and picked stuff for my complexion, size, and body type.
I really enjoyed the amazing service that Elisa gave me. I felt like I was in a high-​end boutique, except everything was totally affordable. There were 2 other items I liked that were out of stock, and she said she would let me know when they got more in. Looking forward to going back!

Pretty clothes at great price!!! They get a new shipment every week. So if you see something cute that fits you, you better grab it because most likely it won’t be there next time you go. I find the service always freindly and helpful. Surprisingly, the place is never crowded. Love it!

This store is just about as easy going as it gets. Beautifully classic and accented with girly frill. It screams «I am woman hear me roar» but is still very «happy birthday Mr. President» enough to be a woman. The products are very up to date with current fashion, but classy enough that women in their later 30s and early 40s won’t look inappropriate shopping here.
Now, the staff. At this particular location, the staff is incredible. They stay on their toes, they help build entire outfits for people who have no clue what they are looking for. I’ve been in a relationship with a stylist for 2 years and these women know their fashion. They teach their customers about the ups and downs, about fabrics and fits, about whats acceptable and what is not and how to make things work together and be unique. It’s a beautiful atmosphere already, and the attentive staff makes it even better. They have no problem taking a dress off of a mannequin and helping you to the fitting room.
When I have a last minute event or fashion fiasco, I head to Varga first because they will no doubt have a piece that will speak to me and make me look AMAZING.
Women, shop here. That is all

OMG! Varga is one of my more favorite hot-​girl shops in the South Bay! I just bought an awesome Groupon too:
GREAT deal! I am there shopping at least once a week and I am so excited I saw this Groupon for Varga!
Why do I love it so much? Varga brings back that old-​time femininity to the modern girl that we have moved so far away from! From the sexy skinny jeans to the soft blouses and tailored skirts, there is not one Friday night concert or Holiday party that I can’t shop for it at Varga.
The staff is so friendly too and I secretly use them as my personal stylist, hee hee! And if this isn’t enough, the prices are totally reasonable!!! It is the ind of store that when you walk by the window so think «ooooooh» but too scared to go in and look at the price tag… then you do venture in and notice how amazing the prices are for the good quality clothing and it takes an army to pry you OUT: D
Sometimes the beautiful identical TWIN sisters (ex-​models) come in to check on the shop. The twins are so approachable and love to hear a customer’s special requests (like my need for the scaloped seamless thong underwear).
LOVE LOVE LOVE Varga!
Go into the El Segundo shop and let them know Patricia the yoga teacher, says Hey!

My first visit here was to find a specific article of clothing: Blue Dress for Bachlorette Party in Vegas.
What a great choice to stop in here. The ladies were super helpful and did their best to find something that would work. Unfortunately, they did not have the bold Vegas-​bound outfit I was looking for, but they did one for my friend. She purchased a dress, bag and earrings. Easy! I did purchase a pretty coral dress that I will use for a date or a day at the races.
Good location. Great selection. Prices in my range. Adorable accessories. They even had cookies to keep the guys occupied! This definitely made it easier for my girlfriend and I to shop.
Can you open one in San Diego? Please?

My friend always said, «if you need a dress, go to Varga!»
I finally went, and everytime I need a last minute outfit, or dress, Varga never fails!
Despite the great options, the boutique also has adorable décor! Very vintagey, 1950’s, Breakfast at Tiffany’s kind of feel.
The parking is super easy, and close to some great restaurants.
The prices are VERY reasonable.
The staff is so nice, and there’s a nice comfy couch for our male counterparts to wait while we model our findings.
Thanks, Varga!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. By far one of my fave clothing spots.
1. The manikins have hips, and their clothing fit women with hips!
2. Such a cute and unique style, one of a kind articles of clothing, very boutique-​y.
3. It is very clean and organized. I like forever 21 but whenever I walk in to one I instantly get a headache cuz I know I am gong to really work to find what I want. Varga is simple and you will find things you like in seconds.
4. They have everyday clothes, sexy business attire, and great dresses. I even got a dress for a red carpet event here.
5. I am obsessed with rings, and I love their rinds/​jewelry.
6. The girls are always sooo friendly, they set up a dressing room for you and help you with what you are looking for, it is like you have a personal shopper with you.
Definitely check it out!

1. First thing I noticed, the mannequins got bootie and hips. I felt right at home.
2. Like everyone else said, boutique feel but the price of Express on sale or sometimes Forever 21.
Products that caught my eye:
Bracelets/​cuffs for small wrists! Wth do stores make bracelets so big??? I know my wrist is abnormally tiny, but I don’t know one person who fits the bracelets that are offered at stores.
Cute shoes for $ 50 – 70
A super cute, chic *leather look alike* jacket for $ 69. You honestly couldn’t tell. I thought it was $ 150 minimum.
Good spot for dresses/​tops that look different than the avg. forever 21.
This is nestled in a cute spot that I barely discovered over the wknd. I love it!

I debated on writing a review… I’d like to keep Varga my little secret, but since it is already out…
Varga ROCKS! They have trendy, well made and affordable clothes. When have you found that combo? The shop is CUTE and they have great accessories. I have made a bad habit of going every pacheck and the selection is always different. The assistants are super helpful but never pushy and one has a cute little puppy named Bella. I heart Varga.
PS — written by Nathan’s wife, just in case you didn’t know

Varga emits a pricey boutique feel upon glance, but do not let this deter you for it is, in actuality, affordable and completely awesome. Think everything you ever wanted out of Forever21 and you get Varga – quality pieces at affordable prices and a wide range of beautiful accessories. I couldn’t believe that rings were only around $ 9 and necklaces around $ 15. It was so difficult to not buy everything up! I really like the non-​intimidating store layout, as pieces are easier to view and clothing is not pouring out of every crevice.
The downside? A weird mirror in the dressing room that makes you feel uglier than you already are. :(Our faces seems almost kind of distorted. Employees are helpful in a supportive manner while not being pushy at all. I love that. I felt free to shop and touch every little item, which I definitely did.
