Anthropologie

Favorite of all time! It’s a store that will reminds you of home. Somewhere you would like to stay and just never leave!

I really like the displays in this store. Geared towards Women, I have been here with friends. The visuals are worth checking out. I like a lot of their home goods.

Super friendly staff and I love their stuff omg
They always go above n beyond to help me :)

Terrible service

Anthropologie in U-​Village is a recipe for a hostile environment. It is nothing short of crowded. As I further ventured into the store, the density of worthless, monogrammed knick-​knacks, antiquated and washed-​up furniture, and infinity scarves that hang down to my knees increased.
My best friend will blow an entire paycheck on clothes here. Her devotion to paying top dollar to look like a misplaced Prussian gypsy in Wisconsin is admirable and questionable at the same time.
I felt most of my general repulsion while in their pigeon coop designated for all of the discounted clothes and miscellaneous shit. You want to see people at their absolute worst? Stuff them in the smallest fucking room with 30% off tags.
That area was made for people who want a fast pass to experience the ill effects of stress. «Damn, I’ve been feeling too calm and relaxed lately. How do I get to feel weird heart palpitations FASTER!!! SALES RACK!»
I pulled a size S of a blouse that looked decent. A woman ran up next to me and asked, «Is there another one in that size?!»
«I didn’t see one, no.»
And thoroughly upset by this, with her teeth clenched and lips pursed, she reacted with a primal mouthful.
«UUUUUGGGGHHH WHHAATTT TTTHHHEE FUUUUCCKKK.»
I haven’t since returned.

I have had the unfortunate event of LOVING this store for years now.
I have bought things despite being treated horribly just because I loved them.
However once I had children and was still carrying a few extra pounds I was treated like garbage by the sales reps. I stopped shopping there. I really was not interested in being scrutinized by women and treated like a second rate citizen because I had a child and chose to be healthy enough to feed her.
I went I this store last night because I had ordered what I can only describe as a potato sack online.
I was told for thirty minutes that I made it up, the order was not in the computer, what did I do to the dress exc.
Mind you I obviously had the dress. I had the original packaging, all receipts and everything.
She then refused to process it in any way except putting it back on my visa.
I am done with anthropologie and the disgusting treatment of those who keep your doors open.

Anthropologie is one of my favourite stores at University Village.
They carry women’s clothing and accessories, housewares, décor, toiletries, books, and more… I think of them as more of a curated lifestyle store than a clothing store.
Their clothes and bedroom textiles are always very whimsical, bright, fun, and unique.
I purchased one of my favourite tops from here, and I have never seen anything else like it in my entire life.
It can be hit or miss… some days I want half the store and some days I can’t find anything at all. Sometimes the price is so good I feel like I’m getting away with something, but sometimes I feel like a sucker for paying that much for a dress, candle, cardigan, pillow case, etc.
Customer service is always great. They even have stylists that will help do a wardrobe makeover for you!
Unfortunately, the line to pay can get ridiculous, so don’t come here with a full bladder or you’ll be sorry.
There is free covered and surface lot parking available at University Village.
If you haven’t been, I highly recommend you check them out!

This store is nice and has a rugged feel. I liked most of their décor but the clothing wasn’t really my style.

Anthropologie is my wife’s favorite store and we’ve been to a bunch of them.
Prior to this we went to the one downtown on 5^th in the commercial area of Seattle and it was also nice but I liked this one better. The couch was more comfortable and the parking was free and easier to deal with even though University Village was a busy place on a Sunday.
Besides that all the stores are the same but they’re not. They are all laid out differently and they don’t have a standard décor. This one while to me didn’t necessarily stand out it had room to walk around in and felt more open than many of the others I’ve been to before.
I fall under the «I’m with her category» so being as tall as I am I’m able to find the couch and enjoy the wifi for a short while.

Nicely laid out store, super huge $ 1000 clay pot outside that’s worth gazing at. The clearance room is tiny and absolutely claustrophobic with more than 2 people in there, so for that I deduct a star.

Hi I’m a male. I tend to shop here for my girlfriend. She’s a babe. moving on.
Is it anthro’s fault that everything is so expensive? yes.
is it all the nice employees’ fault? no.
they are all super helpful, the store with all of its crazies, is peaceful, and the employees are extremely «oh that’s so cute!”-ful.
Whenever i walk in and don’t need help, they help, and even better, when i need help, the help. everyone’s attentive!
They are very happy to help over the phone as well, which has worked out nicely when i’ve wanted to check if they have something from the online store in stock.
all in all. Nice! Neat! Helpful!
well done.

I wish I didn’t love Anthropologie as much as I do. I feel like such a cliché, fawning over their hedgehog-​shaped measuring cups and vintage-​inspired coats. I made my boyfriend visit their downtown Seattle store last weekend and he said that he wouldn’t wish anything in there on his worst enemy, but what does he know? Nothing, that’s what. (I do wish Anthropologie would branch out to men’s clothing, because I bet it’d be BEAUTIFUL.)
This particular Anthropologie store is my favorite. It’s very well organized. Everything is on the same floor. It’s clean and open and decorated prettily. The sale section is usually much better stocked than that of the downtown store. And the customer service is good — I recently had to return a dress from which I’d removed the tag, and they didn’t give me any lip about it.
I feel like the people working at Anthropologie can somehow sense that I’m a fraud, though. Do they somehow know that I can’t afford that $ 240 chemise? Is it obvious that it won’t fit my curvaceous figure, and they resent the waste of time that is returning it to the rack? The staff are smiley and courteous, but I sense a grimace underneath the pleasant façade. Perhaps that’s not for me, though. It’s probably for the entitled, WASP-​y women who shop there all day and would not think twice about buying a $ 700 antlered tureen.

I felt lost as hell. I did play with the flat rocks in the back, that was borderline fun.

Okay, I love Anthropologie, just plain love.
I mainly shop there for their vast selection of beautiful, unique and feminine but not slutty clothes. I love the way all their stores smell and the way they are laid out. Tons and tons of gorgeous clothes laid out and hung up to tantalize our visionary senses. As I write this review I have on a lovely cream sweater and cool cords and earrings all from them…:-) The prices can be pretty high and that is in part why I am holding out one star. SAd thing is is that if they had alot of cheaper stuff, everyone would have the same clothes on, no?
I love the staff at the U village, seriously some of the most beautiful young gals with no attitude. Even when I call in to have them hunt for something I have seen online, they are super helpful and reliable at calling me back if they say so.
The stores also carry a great selection of jewelry, toiletries, candles, home decorations, FABULOUS kitschy aprons! (I love buying them for others because secretly I want someone to buy me one! :-)) and great dishware. Not sure why I haven’t bought that Octopus plate yet, not sure at all…
I could go on and on but I won’t. I love this shop and have to literally keep myself from going there on my day off, it’s dangerous!

OMG, they have the cutest, most stylish clothes here.
Too bad I’m not willing to shell out $ 110 for a pair of jeans or $ 96 for a blouse.
This location had a lot of everything and most items were pricey.

Anthropologie is definitely my favorite clothing store out there right now. The styles are fantastic, their clothes are high quality and fit very well, they have great sales, and they keep everything very fresh.
This Anthropologie store is a pretty good one. They sell both homewares and clothing, but unfortunately they don’t sell shoes, and I really do like to be able to try on the shoes. The downtown Seattle Anthropologie store sells shoes which is nice.
I’ve never had any issues with the service — everyone has always been very helpful in getting me different sizes when needed, and they are pleasantly attentive, which for me means not very attentive but just enough that they notice when I have a handful and offer to put it in a dressing room :).

If I had the money, I would buy so many things from here… but the prices deter me.
It s a large store with lots of things to look at, but I usually end up browsing rather than buying b/​c being the poor grad student that I am, $ 149 for a casual dress just isn’t plausible.
Also, service seems to be a bit lacking, the last time we were here, not one staff said hi or asked if they could help us.
No biggie as I like to browse on my own.
Overall, a-​okay, and if I had the means, I would purchase things from here, but you can find similar things for much cheaper elsewhere.

Anthropologie teaches me how to dress and live like a cool kid!
Here’s why I love it so much:
1– Clothes seem to fit me often! and make me look cute and cool!
2– Sales here can be AMAZING!
3– It’s the only place in the world that makes me buy $ 25 candles. I buy them often because they make my bathroom smell like the baby jesus.
4– Beyond cute kitchen items!!! Aprons, dishes, oven mitts!
5– Hooks and knobs that are to die for! The knobs on my dresser cost more cumulatively than did the dresser itself.
Love love love!!! Shop shop shop!!!
I try to ignore that the corporation donates lots of money to politically «red» things.
Also, it’s pretty expensive. Save up!. I wish they had a mens section… I always feel bad for all the dudes who were dumped on the couch for the long wait.

I put this store between Urban Outfitter and Coldwater Creek. For those of us who are grown up enough to not want the trendy cheap stuff anymore but still aren’t ready for mom jeans.
The housewares are really fantastic — think Williams Sonoma meets farmer’s market– and the clothing– although expensive is all seemingly well made and gorgeous.

I’m a thrift store kind of girl, so you’d think I’d hate Anthropologie (heck, I can even find Anthro cast-​offs at Goodwill when I look, so you’d probably wonder why I’d buy at the store). I can’t help it. Anthropologie is to clothing like Whole Foods is to grocery stores — they completely sell a shopping experience (as well as some good quality and beautiful items).
Shopping at Anthro is like shopping in another dreamy world. You walk in and the smell of burning Voluspa candles takes over your olfactory senses (interestingly, this also perfumes the clothes you buy, so the first time you wear your clothes, a little of the Anthro store magic floats around with you). Each Anthropologie store has their own team of artists that designs its store displays (around a central theme governed by some Anthro head), so visually everything is super appealing (plus, it’s like you’re shopping in a gallery, elevating the clothes to art-​like status).
Admittedly, I have never bought something full-​price at Anthro. I always shop the sale rack (and even then prices can be high for me). But even at sale prices, you get the Anthro experience.
The sales people at the U Village location have been really awesome. They are super helpful in the dressing rooms (and the dressing rooms are bright with full-​length doors and enough places to hang clothes — there’s no clothing limit for the dressing rooms).
tip: Because of Anthro’s return policy (forever with the receipt and tags intact), if you peruse the sales rack often enough, an item you might have missed out on from last season could return at a great price.
tip 2: Also, although the sidewalk sale is ridiculously crowded and hard to park for, if you’re looking for a certain sale item that is no longer in stock on the website, you should come here. This Anthro gets all the sale items from the other Anthro locations in the area shipped to them for the sidewalk sale so they can have MASSIVE inventory. Even a week before the sidewalk sale, you’ll start to notice their sale selection gets a lot larger!)
