Barneys New York

Cool little mini-​Barneys located right in the heart of Santa Monica Place.

— The convenient, boutique-​esque setup of this Barneys is a both a blessing and a curse; it’s easy to navigate and find whatever it is that you may be looking for… but finding something of interest isn’t always guaranteed, given the store’s scaled-​down size.
— The store is divided pretty evenly into men’s and women’s sections, which makes shopping here straightforward and hassle-​free.
As far as what’s available here for guys… well the majority of what you’ll find is geared towards the casual-​wear end of the spectrum. For the more streetwear-​oriented fella, there’s a whole lot to work with — Fear Of God, Rick Owens, Hood By Air, etc. There’s also a nice selection of denim available by quality brands such as Acne and Nudie.
The men’s footwear selection is relatively sparse, but nonetheless still includes some winners from labels such as Common Projects and Del Toro.
— Unfortunately, the service here is pretty inconsistent. It’s evident that the level of service that you’ll receive is almost entirely dependent on how you’re dressed. On days when I’m actually dressed to impress, it seems as though the staff here can’t wait to break out the red carpet; however, during other visits where I’ve come by in the good ol’ tee & shorts attire, I’d be lucky to even be greeted by the workers here. Annoying? Certainly.
P. S. If you happen to be on the hunt for Adidas X Kanye West Yeezy Season 1, fret not — this Barneys has you covered. I saw plenty of stock left for both men and women during my most recent visit to this Barneys!

Sigh. They gutted the men’s section. Instead of 20 racks of men’s clothes there are about 5 and they seem to be the leftovers from the recent remodel. The pants and shoes are still ok but the emphasis on women’s clothes and accessories has all but turned this store into a women-​only boutique. Bummer.

I just wanted to comment on the flawless, gracious customer service I recently received for an issue with an Alexander Wang handbag I bought many years ago (salesperson at that time was nice too!). The service here is just so much better than any other high end retailer I’ve dealt with. It was past the warranty period, and I wasn’t even in town, but they managed to get me everything I needed. Will definitely buy from here again! :)

Bad shopping experience! Went in to return a Shirt I bought on line and the manger Mr. Roberto Mendieta tells me I can’t because they don’t carry it in their tiny store! Also that’s its been longer than 30 days! Not cool! I have the receipt and its never been worn! I have shopped at Barney’s since I was 5 yrs old. I guess that’s the end of Barney’s for me

This store is great, the sales associates are very helpful. There was a great sale going on when I was here, got a pair of current Elliot jeans and a rag and bone tank top here. I adore this store. Find some and check it out

Came to barneys to buy a gift for my sister and the SA that helped me was really nice and friendly. I’m going to come back for my future wang purchase!

Didn’t buy anything but as usual a well curated selection of items. Fell in love with the 3.1 Philip Lim Pashli mini handbag, and also left wanting an Alexander Wang wallet. Staff greeted me when I entered, not pushy at all and not lurky either.
Some day when I have more expendable income I’ll come back and do some real shopping. ‘Til then I’ll steer clear from temptation!

The staff was dismissive and rude. I had every intention of trying a few items on and purchasing, but no one offered any help whatsoever. I left feeling upset and never wanting to return to that location.

This new COOP opened in August, and like all the other Barneys and COOPs, it is superb. The selection is on trend, classic yet edgy. I LOVE their stuff! Watch out for their fantastic sales a couple times a year (the only time I can afford their stuff!).
The staff here is super helpful and attentive. I was in and out of there with my return in a jiffy.
