Papaya Clothing

I love this store. They have cute but affordable things that I can buy to wear to work. As a MUA I have to wear all black. I find really cute tops here that won’t break the bank. I recommend washing their clothes on delicate cycle if it’s a delicate material such as lace or thin and silky.

What always catches my eyes are the mannequins outside the store window. They always seem to have the latest clothes that are dressed up to casual, which makes me want to go inside and look around. This store carries tshirts, shorts, skirts, pants, dresses, jean jackets, blazers, jewelry, purses, etc. Prices are reasonable. Shirts are $ 10 – 25, dresses $ 20 – 30, pants $ 20 – 30. Store is consistently clean, the rack of clothes are kept neat and not all over the ground. Sales associates are always walking the floor. Plenty of dressing rooms, they also have a seating area for the men and children waiting. Clearance racks are close to the fitting room. Remember to look at your receipt for return and exchange policies, in the past I had an issue and was forced to receive store credit, boo.

If I were filling out this review before last night I would have given the store at least 4 stars. It is cheap and offers very cute and trendy clothes for my daughter who is just starting to wear woman sized clothing. Because she is growing so quickly I really don’t want to spend a lot of money on clothes that won’t fit her in 6 months.
However, last night we went into the store 30 minutes before closing, and they were already shutting everything down. The music was off, the dressing rooms were closed, and all of the attendants unavailable and busily cleaning and organizing the store for closing. If your store is open until 8:00pm then all services should be available to customers until 8:00pm. Closing time for a store is not for staff to be completed with closing duties and out the door with the last customer.
VERY disappointing!

I will never shop here AGAIN! I received horrible customer service. I tried to return a idem a day after the small amount of time they give you to return a idem and the manager or assistant manager told me I couldn’t have store credit for a sweater I wanted to return for store credit. Then she told me that I could have $ 5 less than I originally spent, this should be against the law! Then she watched me the whole time I was in the store, I took my sweater and left! I’ve never been treated with such disrespect and horrible customer service! I went home and my husband called the manager and she promised him a refund and he went back and they told him they didn’t know anything about it! Don’t bother trying to return anything a day late they will just screw you around. I will not be shopping here again due to the incompetence of the management!

ok I love it here, cheap and trendy, but I should not go there on weekends… fitting room line was awful. However I enjoyed shopping here I found the same product cheaper in this store.

Found my graduation dress here. Everything is color coded and the prices are amazeballs. They have the latest styles and the sales girls are really friendly. I love their $ 2 – 6 racks. They have everything from everyday wear to semi-​formal. Shop here if you’re going for the laid back «normal chick» look. You won’t really find hipster or punk rock outfits here. It’s more of the All-​American girl type. Mostly fun, flirty, and fabulous.

Papaya is one of my favorite go to stores for cheap, trendy clothes. I will say that the quality matches the prices and the clothes I get from Papaya tend to fall apart easily. For that reason, I don ‘t shop at Papaya primarily, but mainly for when I need a quick disposable outfit for dinner or a club night. There are many types of clothing here and they range from super casual to slightly formal. The racks are always stocked with the latest clothes and there always seems to be some sort of sale.
The large amount of clothes can be a little overwhelming, but everything is pretty organized and the sales associates are always willing to help me find any particular piece that I may be searching for.
This is a great store for teens to early 30’s.

Wonderful casual to classy fashion for inexpensive prices. I actually liked many pieces in the store, which is a very rare thing for me to say. Many pieces were elegant in simple design without aloud of loud shiny embellishments – as in they were clothes you could actually wear on a daily basis but still feel fancy. The sales associates were attentive and did a great job keeping even the sales racks organized. The sales racks even had nice choices on it. Dressing room was clean, but the metal hanger for you to hang the clothes is attached to the metal hanger in the neighboring changing stall, and so it awkwardly clangs when one of you put/​take something on/​off it. I would visit another one of these stores if I get a chance!

This place has pretty inexpensive, trendy clothes. You can totally find cute stuff here. But, you get what you pay for, so don’t expect it to last long. The quality is not the best. I have sweaters getting little fuzzballs on them, and strings unraveling, etc.
I also wanted to buy this hat with some diamonds on it, but a few were missing. I asked for a discount, and the guy behind the counter offered me like $ 1 off (10% or something). Me thinks not.

VERY impressed.
Why? Because I managed to pick up an amazing vintage-​like dress from here at a silly tiny price!!!
I also notices loads of wracks of clothes on sale… The shop is filled with the typical high street kinda clothing, with the current styles. Yes sounds boring, BUT ladies. We all need these shops all the time.
I like this one because I noticed different styles from basics to dress ups… And as much as I love and adore Forever (Don’t hate lol) I really do enjoy shopping at random shops like Papaya as I feel like I will not see someone else wearing my exact outfit…
So, selection? Yep
Great prices? Oh yess
Sales? Mmm hmmm… yepp !
Go for it!!!

I love Papaya! The fruit and this clothing store. Like Mirasol B. said it’s like Forever 21, The Closet, or comparable shops with trendy and affordable clothing.
The quality of the clothing is decent too! I’ve only had one outfit «malfunction,» but don’t worry no Janet Jackson Superbowl flashbacks here… a button on my pea-​coat sleeve wasn’t sewn on tightly so I had a loose flap; it was easily fixed and no nudity on live TV ;) I’ve had the pea-​coat for several seasons and get compliments on it all the time!
I happened to be at this location while supporting my brother for the MS Bike ride from Irvine to San Diego. He biked it, I drove it, and did some shopping between then. Good times.
