Victorian Rose Apparel & Antiques

Maybe my chosen star rating isn’t fair because when I was originally referred to this store, I was under the assumption it is an antiques store & was taken aback when I discovered otherwise. Upon entering, you are instantly swept away and taken back to the good ‘ol, days when houses had character instead of the boring mass produced crap companies build now. You’re encased by beautiful woodwork and distracted by the beauty of the many colorful stained glass work (neither for sale) throughout the store.
However, the over-​the-​top pricing will have your eyes bulging out of your head quicker than a hard on. What I saw was NOT antiques but mass produced replicas. Don’t get me wrong, if you have the money– lots & lots of money & enjoy fashions similar to that of New York or Paris runways then you’ll drool over their extravagant shoe collection and day dream about sporting that $ 300.00 plus dollar white womens coat in the window then you’ve found one of the few places in Ohio where fashion is truly appreciated.
But again, everything in that store is a replica and not an actual antique, although the name implies otherwise. They offer a huge variety of jewelry and handbags in every color as well. What they fail to offer is a simple hello; as I was browsing the store for a ½ hour not one associate said «Hi» or asked if I needed help (considering that almost every single shelf in the store has a sign stating that you need to ask for assistance if you wish to see an item in that store; you think staff would be more available). I did however, find myself finally greeted as I was very obviously leaving; go figure.
So again, my rating might not be fair but I also hate wasting my time.
