Let's face the facts, some of which have already been stated in other reviews. Anthropologie is the same company as Urban Outfitters. Sometimes you can see accessories at Anthropologie (a pair of sunglasses I took note of recently, for exmaple) and then stroll down the street to Urban Outfitters and find the exact pair for about half the price. This is why I subtract one star. But I love Anthrpologie, otherwise.
Their items are special. Everything seems "special". Old timey and modern at the same time. Now that I'm a young professional with a home to call my own (wall hooks to hang, knobs to change, etc.), Anthro is right up my alley. Their knobs! Oh, the knobs.
They have a wide selection of everything. And while their clothes are a little on the steep side, their sale section is huge, and the prices of the homewares are, I think, appropriate. Also, their selection of books is unique and great, but also marked up quite a deal from what you could get them for on Amazon - but it's a good place to get ideas if you're looking for something interesting to put on your shelf or coffee table.
Also, with the popularity of Mad Men, everyone wants to be a little Joan Holloway or Betty Draper (style-wise, at least, in Betty's case), and you can probably find the right items here to pull it off.
All Anthropologies are nice. This one has character. It even has a grand staircase. The Anthropologie building has a spiral staircase leading to many levels. It's like going through a home filled with many fabulous things and clothes to last a lifetime. Sigh. I'd love a closet this big.
The displays are lovely from chalkboards with tea cup images built out of chalk to tables of wedges and coffee table books to tickle your fancy. The shirts and dresses are hanging on racks with space to breathe. The only spot where everything was crowded was in the basement sale area. I'll rummage through any sale. That's how you get the best deals. My $10 slacks were found on Rockefeller Center but here on Walnut I found the cutest bird shaped dispenser. I won't use it to hold food. I'm going to display it as a pop of color in my room. Plus the bird's bright yellow whistling face makes me happy.
Anthropologie is the type of store that will make you ponder purchasing a $30 headband, inspire you to wear a French frock, and even turn you on to quilted blankets when clearly you are into silk. I love Anthropologie and I am in love with this location. They have an elevator with a couch in it. A couch! I thought secret couches were limited to Nordstrom bathrooms. Now us women have them in our elevators. It's too genius.
Dear Anthropologie,
I would like to move in to your flagship store. It appears you have everything I might need: adorable clothes and shoes, comfortable and stylish bedding and furniture, and a soundtrack that makes me feel like I'm Zooey Deschanel.
Let me know when I can send over the moving van. My bags are packed.
Love,
Molly K

lovessssss! I love everything about Anthropologie ( except that i can't afford to buy everything). Sometimes i go just to walk around all of the beautifulness! There clothes can be alittle over the top sometimes but i like to look at them anyway. They just have the sweetest clothes! Their sale selection is always great. You can really walk out with some great deals. There sale stuff is like the price of gap but wayyy most interesting. I go there if i need a dress for a party, cocktail thing, really anything! I love them. I feel like im playing dress-up everytime i go in. I love how they have a personal shopper to help you pair things and they sales people are so nice. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Of all the Anthropologie stores in the country, this one's my favorite because of two reasons: the interior design/architecture and the sale section.
The interior is like Alice In Wonderlad meets The Secret Garden. It calls to the inner girl in me that loves Disneyland and dainty things that sparkle. I love that it's on 4 split levels so it breaks up the space, but then my thighs feel the burn when I have to walk up the stairs (I call it my excercise for the week).
The best part is the sale section. I've stopped looking at the other floors so I don't tempt myself with things I can't afford and go straight to the basement. My closet prized possessions have come from the sale section - 2 Moulinette Soeurs dresses for $40 each and a pair of seafoam green wedges for $30. It's my favorite because it includes not only clothes and shoes (the only Anthro store I've been to that has a sale shoe section), but also bedding, homewares, and knicknacks.
It gets busy on the weekends, lots of snooty girls and their snootier moms for some reason. But whatever, I'll bust a cap for those pair of size 7 sandals thankyouverymuch.
Note: The basement level doesn't get good cell phone reception. I found that out when the bf was trying to call me for an hour and got po'd when I didn't pick up. Meh.. small sacrifice.
Imagine. It's early fall, the air is crisp. In a tiny bistro in the Marais, you are sipping a café-au-lait. Nibbling on a pain de chocolat, you are halfway through reading Ernest Hemingway's "The Sun also Rises". A lone accordion player is churning out tourist friendly tunes à-la-Edith Piaf nearby. Set scene...
That is what Anthropologie sells. Dreamy, feminine, european, shabby-bohemian chic. From measuring cups, to bedding, soaps, upholstered furniture, shoes, books, undergarments, bags and apparel a-plenty - this flagship store offers to dress up your lifestyle from A to Z.
It's hard not to swoon in this gorgeous historical corner property; an airy, well-lit perfect four floor venue in which they sell their wares. The store constantly reconfigures their product lines to keep it fresh and new. With the addition of more ample change rooms on the fourth floor, you can start on the basement floor (where they currently have all the sale merchandise in the back) and move your way up.
They carry a wide range of designers (Nanette Lepore, Marimekko, odille, Tracey Reese, Moth, Ella Moss, Maeve, Fei, Moulinette Soeurs to name a few) with similar esthetics and price points.
The visual merchandisers are always spot on with beautiful, innovative and fantastical displays. The background music is appropriate (they seem to like a lot of french and jazzy tunes) and most importantly their staff is friendly and attentive (and stylish, of course!) without being overbearing.
The place is also perfect for a housewarming gift (basement floor for homewares). Few gripes: their inventory caters more towards the slimmer girl, so don't expect to find many sizes that accomodate the curvier woman. The sale section in the store is often a bit of a free-for-all and their shoe selection isn't kept well for the price that they charge even at a sale price.
I usually go to this store on Monday or Tuesday evenings when I have the luxury to stroll around in peace without the crowds, gather armfuls of stuff to try on and hope that when wearing my potential wardrobe it will take me back to Paris.
This is my Mecca. I try to avoid this store for it will eventually land me in the poor house, however, I fail every time!
Poverty aside, I have always been attracted to this store since i was a little girl. Previously it was an urban outfitters (which is now right down the street) and I have very fond memories of doing huge back to school shopping trips there to be the coolest when classes commenced. That never happened, but I still love this building.
Sure the clothes are a bit pricey, but for what you get, but I think it is well worth it. Every item has a little detail or doodad that makes it different from everything else out there. People never cease to compliment my clothes and if you shop the sale rack, you can get some great deals. Plus its on the bottom floor, so you just start at the bottom and work your way up.
No other store compares with displays though and even if you are not interested in the clothes, a trip is still worth it! Christmas is the best time of year to visit in my opinion....their little vignettes of holiday cheer are better than any Christmas manger I have seen.
Where this store outshines others is in their staff. In February I was shopping for the essential birthday dress to go out on the town in and of course I began my search at anthropologie....I came across the perfect party dress, but was sad to find that it was not in my size...I went to the register and was helped by the nicest girl who made it her mission to get me in the dress. My only regret is not getting her name....anyways, after multiple calls, she found the dress in Georgia....and arranged for it to be overnighted to me....this girl went well above and beyond. The dress arrived in time and helped make the birthday better!
Gifts are easy finds here too since they have an extensive housewares section.
Call me crazy, but whenever I travel in the states, i find the closest anthro and make a trip....each store is its own fairyland in which i want to live.
The sheer FABULOSITY (Ask Kimora, she says it's a word) of this place is enough to make me want to dress up JUST BECAUSE, the next time I come here. From the building to the merchandise, this store is four floors of DARLING!
As the resident "girly-girl" of my circle of friends, I was already an Anthropologie fan, but this store right here just reaffirmed what I already knew...I love this place so much I want to take it out behind the middle school and get it pregnant!*
A friend and I spent about two hours in this location, looking for the perfect dress for an event, and she ended up with three spectacular purchases.
I'm going to be honest, shopping here as often as I'd like would require that I enter a higher tax bracket, but I can absolutely do a few pieces here and there. I love the fact that there's not just a sale section, there is a sale ROOM. If you can't find something you love in there, then something is wrong with you! The housewares section alone makes me want to buy a house, just so I can decorate it!
Absolutely the best of the Anthropologies I've visited thus far!
* You can thank Tracy Morgan for that literary pearl!
Anthropologie is probably my favorite store, and this location is DEFINITELY my favorite. Its in this absolutely beautiful former mansion, and they kept the gorgeous spiral staircase is still there and all these incredible stained glass windows as part of the decor (good move!).
They also organize the space really well; the basement level is where sale items and house/kitchen/garden goods are, as well as a scattering of new clothes, the first floor is where the majority of the recent additions are kept with the shoes, and the mezzanine and top levels have more clothes but also their bedding collections. The changing rooms are on the top floor which is great for them because you are forced to pass by every item they offer, but awful for me since I'm tempted to then buy everything I see! I've only ever had good interactions with their staff, they hire nice and friendly people. And the sale section at this store is awesome - because its not New York, items stay on the racks a little longer and I'm therefore more likely to find items in my size AND at a lower sale price than I would otherwise. However, I will say that in general New York stores tends to have a slightly bigger and more extensive selection of sale items.
I absolutely adore every item that they carry and want to take it home with me. They have a great mixture of home goods that sail through many different price points, which makes me not feel guilty for purchasing the $14 candle instead of the $36 candle.
In terms of clothing, the only time I ever purchase clothing is if it comes off a Sales rack. Other than that, the items are far too expensive for me.
OUTSTANDING, BRAVO.
Okay, if the owners of "Anthro" are reading this...I not only want to work for your company and retire there, I think this store is gorgeous. I recommend it to anyone visiting Philly. I hope to move back there and live near Rittenhouse so I can visit alot. You've outdone yourself. The space couldn't be more Anthropologian!!
Love, Liz.
STRIKING!... DELICIOUS!... AND MY HEY-SEUS THIS PERFUME I JUST PURCHASED IS BLISS! I THANK YOU ANTHROPOLOGIE FAMILY!
Wow. Where do I begin?... As far as the family of stores under their umbrella I found Urban Outfitters first. I totally dug the quirkiness & funky stylings there, but MY WORD Anthopologie is completely EARTHY, SOPHISTICATED GLAM! If your inner girlie-girl does not peek her head out & do cartwheels on the way to a tea party you may as well place yourself perpendicular to the direction of SEPTA's rails & call it a night!
Although I have passed the building several times making a "note to self" to stop in one day, I now feel as though I have done myself a disservice from not visiting sooner. I have always been a big fan of fine architecture & this property is a treasure trove for amazing pieces. If you walk into the building & head to the rightmost room & then look up... there are several portraits painted amongst individual molding acting as frames. Now that I read from a fellow Yelper that it was once a private residence I'm curious to know if that faces were those of the family members who spent their lives here. There are also grand fireplaces stacked on top of each other & found myself staring at the arrangement with curiosity & awe. CLEARLY there are some freakishly creative people out there & I would love to meet those in charge of design there!
That's just talking about the property! I also agree with another Yelper who said this is more like a grown up Urban Outfitters, yes there are still hippe-esque pieces, but if you take a look there are sleek business pieces as well. I stopped with excitement when I saw a book about Annie Leibovitz & her stories behind some of her work. As a photographer that was an awesome find & I'll be back for that! ; )
Now yesterday was my first trip in & I tried a Tokyo Milk perfume tester & told the sales rep., I am going to "live" with this today & see if it makes it, if so I'll be back tomorrow. Welp... I just purchased French Kiss (No. 15) today & couldn't make it more than two blocks without getting compliments as I sprayed it again today! I also bought one of those funky cabinet knobs (it looks like a face of a watch) & their houseware items are absolutely adorable. This place makes me want to be an interior decorator solely so I can spend other people's money to create stunning & personalized spaces for them! Please don't ever let me fall into a 'Duck Tales' pile of money in a vault (remember that?!) because I will make a lot of Philadelphians (& visitors) upset as the shelves, bins, & walls would be bare there!
OFFICIALLY I AM A FAN & I'M COMING BACK FOR MORE! ; )
For the ladies who appreciate fashion! (God knows I do)
Alright girls - here is the deal. Whether you can afford Anthropologie or not (their prices are a tad on the expensive side) it is WELL worth the visit. Not only is this once previously-lived-in mansion the most gorgeous, well preserved store in the city, but between the 4 stories of fabulousness is something for everyone. They not only carry clothes, shoes, and accessories, but every kind of homegood you can think of. My girlfriends and I have spent hours in this store, even if we never had the intent to buy anything. And their sales staff is always attentive without being pushy, and has never been anything but kind to me.
The overall style is kitchy meets classic, from their clothes that are simple with a little something "extra", to their homegoods that all have their own unique character. EVERYTHING is well crafted and highly detailed, and when you can afford to, is worth shelling out for.
Worth a visit, regardless - especially being right across from Rittenhouse!
I know it's not fair, I'm an Anthro groupie, but this place was mecca for Anthro lovers. OH MY LOVE. Four floors of pure Anthropologie bliss in an architecturally perfect building. If it wasn't Philly, where almost everything is old, I would say the building was built just for them. They even had a great selection of local shoes.
AND no sales tax on clothes in Pennsylvania? Oh, that's heaven to me. On a budget all weekend though, made it a bit of hell too.
Philly, I'm jealous of you. Why do you deserve this little piece of retail heaven? Chicago's two pitiful Anthro stores now make me sad.
Even though the prices are out of this world as in $$$ the selection this year for the fall is amazing, cute and very "Mad Men" flavoring -my fav AMC show!
They are now carrying these delicious light fragrances called Tokyomilk priced at $28 for 1 oz. (I suggest buying the sample pack which is only $49 online at http://theperfumedcour...)
Also Lovin the selection of cute sweaters (see photo I added) with lots of layers, embroidery, buttons - soft material a plus.
I ended buying the reading glasses tres cool by A.J. Morgan and getting them replaced with my prescription reading lenses. Only $28 for the glasses with "Modern Eye" styling. A deal!
I also ended buying the cute lambs wool flapper style hat which covered my ears - a must for the winter.
The clothing selection was to die for but over my budget. I'll have to wait till they go on sale or better yet; catch a consignment deal.
Some trustfundian will surely get a gift she doesn't like and sell it at Green Street or Buffalo Exchange. Also a great place to catch J. Crew deals too! Why buy retail?
Update: I bought those stupid samples. they are so small its not worth it. Just pick a few you like its a better deal.
Sure, Anthropologie is great. They've always got good stuff - but this store is amazing. Being that the company is headquartered in Philly, I like to think of this Anthro as it's mothersip. It's humongous and elegant and antique and embodies in a building all that the Anthro woman is.
if it's in the catalogue or on the web you'll find it here, not to mention the BEST sale department of any Anthropologie, ever. She dressed me in high school, sent me to college freshman year with my comforter, and furnished the studio apartment that I live in NYC in now. I miss her so, but everytime I return to Philly, I visit her as well. After all these years, we are like family you know :)
I know it's silly to love a place where EVERY SHIRT is $100 and EVERY DRESS is $300, whether it's by Tracy Reese or some nameless gal in Guatemala, but I do. And the Philly store is the mothership!
I get ants in my pants whenever I drive up to Philly, knowing no matter what I'll be heading to Walnut Street, whether it's pre-dinner, pre-club mess or the next day. It's four stories of overpriced bliss. I don't care, I always walk out of there feeling extra girly... and trust me a smoking, drinking, 30-something who still doesn't know how to put on make up the right way needs that from time to time!
So many cute things! So expensive! Even though most stuff is out of my price range, I still love wandering around the store's four stories and falling in love with all the stuff. I basically want to live here.
I did buy a really cute corduroy jacket last time. I figured the splurge was worth it since I can wear it all the time and I just couldn't resist. Oh and I also bought a pair of tights... at $12 they weren't exactly a bargain, but they were the exact shade of teal I wanted and compared to everything else in the store, they seemed damn cheap.
This is the most beautiful Anthropologie I've ever encountered. It's housed in an old revamped mansion, and the 3 floors are really striking. Just looking at the buiding's gorgeous architecture is worth the trip alone. And they always have the space decorated beautifully according to the season.
The entire bottom floor is a great resource for homegoods (and cheap, pretty latte bowls). The clothes are pricey and what you'll find at any Anthropologie, but this location always has a huge inventory and good selection.
My favorite store to be in in Philadelphia! Not only is the exterior of the building gorgeous, but so is everything inside it. At times, the clothing can be a little bit ridiculous, but for the most part they are beautifully made and I have never seen a dress there that I would not love to own. More so than the clothes though, I love the housewares section. When I visit this store I usually go straight downstairs where the house ware is and where the sale section is (because although worth it, this stuff is quite expensive!). The employees are always very friendly and helpful which is something one is not always used to when shopping in Philadelphia.
Let me just say that I am giving the Rittenhouse Anthropologie five stars because of the fact that when I was at the register, none other than Lauren Graham (the mother) from the Gilmore GIrls was being rung up beside me.
That aside, Anthropologie is the Urban Outfitters for mothers and young professionals who still want to be hip, but tame enough for work and children. The very reason I shop here is because I am always guaranteed to find a "classic" piece - a dress or top that will stand the test of time.
It is overpriced - and much of their stock is questionable. I was under the impression that the bohemian look went out of style a couple years ago. However, the sales are wonderful, and the building itself is gorgeous. That's enough for me.
This is such an amazing store - beautiful clothes, beautiful building - I am so happy they moved Urban Outfitters out and replace it with Antrho. The employees are great - helpful and understanding about returns. I love to shop here but can't always afford to buy here.
FIVE. I love this place. hands down, LOVE. The only thing I own from there is a couple of cabinet knobs (they have an awesome selection of cool different ones...I think as low as $6 a pop if they're not too ornament).
But it's just something about the downstairs level that's just floor to ceiling books and plates with little graphic pictures of birds on them, and dishcloths of a thousand colors, and somehow it all looks perfect and you'd just give your left (or non dominant..) arm to have your apartment look like that. Go to Anthro, go downstairs, and experience.
If you like Anthropologie, you HAVE to visit the flagship store in Rittenhouse Square. It was an experience.
I was derailed. Normally, I head straight for the sales section. No exceptions. Except this store is huge and I was repeatedly derailed by pretty, little things. There were 4 levels, including the basement. The top floor is bed, bath, and perfumes. The Anthropologie buyers have gathered a fabulous collection of delicious scents and knickknacks. The second floor has clothes and some stationary, including Orla Kiely. They also have Orla handbags. The first floor houses the cash registers, jewelry, and more clothes. I finally found the sale section on the ground floor along with more gorgeous chinaware, kitchen items, etc.
This is definitely a boyfriend-friendly store. Even if you're not interested in the store's contents, you'd be amazed at how the store has used the original historic(?) building's layout and architecture to its advantage.
This place is four floors heaven for the fashion forward, if, and I DO mean IF you can afford it!
They have some truly beautiful dresses here, sweaters, pants, furniture etc, but the price tags are scary for someone on my budget. I found a perfume here that I've decided I will have to buy...but surprisingly enough..it wasn't that expensive...only $45 which is what i usually pay for my very sexy from Victoria's Secret.
I love love love their displays! Just really great set up. It's very comfortable to browse...no sales person jumping in your way every few minutes. There is a room full of sales downstairs, but to be honest...even most of the sales items are pretty up there!
Great place to check out either way!
The flagship store of a great born-in-Philly chain. Anthropologie has some of the most wonderful merchandising of any store I know. The displays are gorgeous. And this location is no exception, with some displays spilling out of the building (remember those balls of yarn?). The building is beautiful, and the merchandising can make it feel like you are walking through a fancy boutique in someone's home. I hate shopping, but wandering this place is fun. Like most other reviewers, I don't really shop here unless I find a bargain in the sale section. But if I ever come into an upper-middle class tax bracket, I'd like to shop here more often.
Four stars for uniqueness.
Not five stars for ripoff.
If you are into fashion/clothes and have money, then you will probably shop here and that's cool 'cause you have so much frickn' money it doesn't even matter. In fact, you could probably lose $100 on the subway and not notice.
But if you are into fashion/clothes and don't work on Wallstreet, then you know InterMix, Scoop NYC and Anthropologie are all just feeding off consumers who like to elite shop without the research. Meaning: Antro has some really hippy/soft/beautiful threads, but so does Urban if you search. in fact, if you are right out of college with loans but still want to be chic and haven't yet developed an affinity for snobbishness, then you can find the same styles (more or less) and trends at Temptation, Nordstrom Rack or Zara.
The craftsmanship and materials at Antro cannot be beat. But for $300 for a sun dress, I think I can take a few loose threads on a $80 dress from Zara.
I had no idea that Anthro is a Philly-born store. Kudos Philadelphia. You done good. This place is four floors of cuteness, four stars of fabulous.
Way better than Urban Outfitters down the street (where clothes fall apart on the first washing).... but things are still kinda pricey for what you're getting. I actually love the home section though - they have really creative knick knacks and housewares. The sale section is also pretty good, since home stuff never goes out of style!
This is a great Anthropologie store - probably their "flag ship" store, since the company was started in Philadelphia. The building itself is really impressive.
Anthropologie's flagship store is absolutely amazing!
You'll enjoy seeing the different architectural elements of this old building as you go from floor to floor via the spiral staircase (don't take the elevator!) -- check out the stained glass ceiling and faux fireplace.
The selection is thoughtfully edited and beautifully displayed -- think of it as a "best of" Anthropologie. You'll want every single thing you see!
Be sure to spend some time in the room devoted to sale items. I found an adorable pair of silver wedges there for much cheaper than I've seen online!
I've always endearingly called Antropologie "Urban Outfitters for grown folks." With its floral prints, it reminds me of what Laura Ashley was in the '80s, minus the antiquated yuppie aesthetic, now breaking down the acronym to "young urban professional."
Granted, I don't buy my clothes here. My mother and friends certainly do though, and I've long appreciated the store layout. I guess the same way that H&M is to my age-group, there are too many people shopping here, thus wearing the same thing. However for its price, Anthropologie seems to be a winning choice. When I get my mother her Mother's Day gift cards, it certainly is.
um, no thank you. i think their clothes are okay, but they're completely overpriced. the home section has some cute stuff but i don't shop here so who cares? the building is cool and the actual store is laid out in an interesting way but whatevz.
so i went in and had a bunch of crap to try on. i waited at one of the dressing rooms for someone to unlock one of the doors...and waited, and waited and waited. finally a woman walks up and completely ignores me. then another customer walks up and the first woman says, i'll take you right here! and leads her to a dressing room! as she's walking away, she waves her hand dismissively towards me and says, "there's a dressing room on the third floor you can go to."
their crap isn't worth dealing with shitty attitudes like that.
I have been in love with Anthroologie for YEARS. I love the merchandise, even though it's definitely on the expensive side. I love the store itself, it's gorgeous & very fun to wander around & browse.
I have to admit that I have a big problem. (actually more than one, but we won't go there) I am an Anthropologie Junkie. I have been in love with their clothing since they first opened a dozen or so years ago.
The building and the location are both stellar. The service is really great too. Both the fitting room attendant and the cashier (who happened to be the manager) were quite helpful and sans attitude. But, what really sets this store apart from others is the merchandise. The sale section is quite the shit if you hit it right after a markdown. The regular priced merchandise although lovely is usually out of my price range. In fact, I am giving this store only 4 stars because I agree with all of the other reviewers stating that most of the items are just way too overpriced. This bugs me because I feel like I AM their demographic client. The clothing is for me, not for a wealthy snot who attends Barbara Streisand concerts and has a vacation home in Boca. (I did overhear such a conversation in their Mainline store's fitting room).
I understand that the clothing is not quite disposable like F21 & H&M, but the prices could be and should be a little more affordable!
I love Anthropologie in theory.
i love that it's based in Phila -Urban, Anthro, and Free People are all the same company and have their mother location based in Phila along the Dock Yards. It provides a lot of jobs and internships to all the fashion students invading Philly. It also means that bc it's based in Philly the Philly stores get all the newest clothes first, which in turn means we see the marked down sale items first. Score. Honestly, they do have amazing sales. for some reason their "in house" labels sell a lot better than the designer labels they sell. like when they carried Anne Sui, all of it went on sale super fast, and it's the same way with Tracey Reese. I also love the design of all their stores, it's just so beautiful and visually pleasing. the company has a huge team of people that actually design, create, and make all the props they use as displays and funiture in the store. they also have an entirly different team to go into the stores and actually set up the visuals. so cool. lastly, i love the staff. a lot of the staff have worked there for years and sell their old clothes to Buffalo Exchange, or not even clothes that are old just ones they dont want but got for the fun of it. so thats how i get good cheap clothes, thanks to them i dont even more to go into Anthropolgie and deal with the crowds anymore.
okay but here is what i dont like-
their clothes keep looking more hippie dippie every season.
FUCK THAT
I love most of their items but i'm poor so it doesn't work out.
I don't have enough money to shop here. If I'm lucky, I'll spot something wonderful on the sales floor and leave smiling. I'm pretty much in love with the building, the architecture, the design, and the layout. The clothes (especially the dresses) and housewares are beautiful, but mostly I go just to look around and get inspired. The prices are outrageous, but I'll always come back and spend some time there and wish I could stay and live there.
I love this location! The buyers do a great job of picking out items that look unique. Also, the prices are reasonable for the brands and what you're getting. Last year I got a blue Velvet by Graham and Spencer dress and while browsing in South Moon Under, the same exact dress was there for $30 more! The store is beautiful, well kept and the sales associates are always friendly and give the right amount of help!
Anthropologie is a wonderful chain. To give people an idea of the product line, it's to Urban Outfitters what Banana Repulic is to Gap. (You can check the accuracy of that comparison since all four stores are within a 3 blocks on Walnut St.) The housewares are a hipster, asian-infused, French country style that look a bit better in a professional's apartment than the cutesy plastic tchotchkes they sell at Urban Outfitters. The clothing is pricey for what it is - thin knit t-shirts and thick knit sweaters - but great when you can get it on sale. Check the basement for deals. You have to like the "concept" of the store. One walk through should give you an idea. It's not a place to get the basics, but you'll find some fun wardrobe additions.
You have to love Anthropologie and their product selection. They do an amazing job of keeping everything fresh and making it a unique shopping experience. The product is starting to get a little stale and they need a new spark. I hope they get it back but I'm still a fan.
