Well, I have to give Mango four stars. It's one of the only stores in Chestnut Hill I frequent. I'm a huge fan of unique bags and neat textiles and they always have a really nice selection of both. I always get compliments on the bags I get from here. Most recently I got a Frida Kahlo laptop bag (well, it wasn't made for a laptop bag, but I made it a laptop bag).

I do like their clothes, but as someone that wears a plus size, they don't have anything for me. I've suggested it to the employees, but perhaps the companies they get the clothes from don't make plus sizes (I won't go into that little rant right now).

Back in 1989, as a college student home of the summer, I worked at this establishment as a sales clerk. I loved it- the silver jewerly with Mexican themes, cool Grateful Dead like clothing.  

After stopping in there a few days ago cause I loved a tee in the window, I saw that it hasn't changed much- the jewerly is still silver. The clothing is artsy and embroidered. Frida Kahlo images are silkcreened on totes.

Frankly, there just isn't that much in there. It doesn't have a whole lot of much else- sunglasses maybe. Inexpensive espedrilla like shoes. Candles. Cards.

I was bored.Or maybe I'm just too old for the place.

The previous reviewer is right - there should be a hippie alert on the door of Mango. In fact, this is my number one stop for Nag Champa incense and incense holders. They have lots of long, flowy dresses and skirts and many cozy sweaters and tops that can be described as as "relaxed." They also have a good selection of jewelry and accessories that also have a very casual vibe. Mango is a great place to go for gifts for your friends who appreciate a more cultural present (you'll be able to choose from such items as Buddhas, prayer flags and beautifully knit hats).

I always drove by Mango and was consistently fascinated by their window displays. The mannequin was always dressed in something very cute, with a chic tote by her feet. Expecting more of the same, one day I ventured into Mango.

HIPPIE ALERT!!!!! HIPPIE ALERT!!!!!  THE WINDOW DISPLAY WAS ONLY A LURE TO GET NORMAL PEOPLE, LIKE MYSELF, TO COME INTO THE STORE AND BE CONVERTED!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Disclaimer: I have nothing against hippies.
