TIERRA

What a great store! Found it while exploring the mall and loved it immediately. They have gorgeous hand made jewelry and accessories. They are quite pricey, but for handmade things, it’s still quite reasonable.
The staff was extremely nice and sweet and I enjoyed browsing the store very much. If you’re looking for colorful, handmade pretties, this is definitely the place for you.

Tierra caught my eye whilst I was Christmas shopping near my boyfriend’s dad’s house. It aroused un-​christmassy thoughts like, «I’ll come back here AFTER Christmas and buy things for myself!» Hey — I never claimed to be a saint.
They sell all sorts of interesting jewellery and hair accessories. The products thus far appear to be of good quality but do come at a price: 1 hair clip with a flower on it cost about 18 GBP. Upon entering, I was greeted by a staff member with a small fake flower and upon leaving I had a choice of a ‘gift’ of a little 10 page notebook or some sort of small satin satchel. I find these ‘gift’ gestures a bit gimmicky and would prefer less free ‘gifts’ and perhaps passing that savings on to the consumer in the price of the products.
I’m docking 2 stars because there was an offer at the front of the store indicating if you bought 3 items, you received a 20% discount. I picked 2 of the 18 pound hair clips and a headband and was informed at the register that my 2 hairclips only counted as 1 item, because they were on offer for 2 for 30 pounds. I saw this as a really round-​about way of cheating a customer out of an expected savings when they’ve already queued up to pay. That said, I’ll give one star back because the staff were very friendly and even got me a new hair clip when they noticed that the one I chose wasn’t quite clicking together as it should have. Oh and the music in the store was kickin’!
