Emilio Pucci

I really like some of their products. Don’t come here looking to not spend a lot of money, you are in south coast plaza. However, I went in there the other day because a pair of my Pucci Sunglasses are getting slightly crooked and the lady was totally rude, If I am going to be spending large amounts of money for their products I expect excellent customer service.

Let me start with I LOVE PUCCI. That being said, I got the chance to try out my new bikinis (see my photos) and the new design and I have to say, in order for Unilocalettes not to be disappointed, that the new model that ties in the front should not be worn by women who wear anything larger than a 32C because otherwise you may have an embarassing situation with things popping out. The cut is terrific but there is simply not enough material for voluptuous women. Also, just so you know, you cannot buy a larger top and smaller bottom or vice-​versa. BUT I still recommend Pucci. You just need to get the right model for your body type. Triangle tops for larger busts are the best bet because even the underwire models size a bit small. PLEASE READ MY REVIEW BELOW because there are still a lot of terrific things to say about Emilo Pucci.

Nothing says bold and bright like putting on some Pucci.
While fall tends to be the season to wear «harvest» colors, Emilio’s collections of ladies clothing continues to deliver the goods in terms of vibrant, striking patterns that I love to wear. Pucci is NOT for everyone, in terms of price tag and style, but I am grateful that my slim frame can work with it. Pucci stuff just flatters me, and I love being adored.
The difference between a good clothing sales person and a great one is the one who knows how not to «push» a garment at you, but rather let you make your own discovery. So simple and subtle you don’t realize it is happening until you see masterfully conducted on someone else. The two sales members of the South Coast Plaza boutique who were helping me shop REALLY knew their Pucci, and we talked about past collections and even brought out one of their magazines to show me things that honestly would look good on me. A lot of effort for a decent sale (I got a pair of sweet summer scarves thanks to end of summer specials).
Knowing how much these scarves are worth, and knowing what I can do with them with my own clothing collection really makes the pricey purchase worth it for me. It’s one of the best shopping (for me) experiences I have had of late!!!
Que bono!

We are soooooooooo lucky to have an Emilio Pucci boutique in Orange County, considering there are only SIX Pucci boutiques in the entire USA!
But it is oh so appropriate. Pucci embodies what I like to imagine is the California lifestyle: lounging by the pool at your mid-​century pad, sipping a mojito, or throwing a flowy caftan over your teeny bikini to stroll the shops by the beach…
But I think Pucci is equally suited to that OTHER California lifestyle: the rat race. I love my Pucci tops that instantly brighten up a dark suit. In spite of their bold prints, they can be a subtle accent when covered by a jacket, or worn as a scarf, and there’s always a variety of unique and flattering styles that don’t scream «look-at-my-boobies-they’re-falling-out-of-their-leopard-print-Dolce-cami!»
Pucci is also suitable for that essential rat race component: commuting. Pucci clothes are meant to be worn traveling, and though I’d rather be jetsetting in a G5 with friends, the Harbor Freeway at 8am is more bearable when you’re stylishly comfy.
But wait, there’s more! Pucci apparel fits into my lifestyle because many of their tops (the cotton and rayon ones) are machine washable! Yippee! For the ones that aren’t, I make a special trip to Margaret’s Drycleaners, the only place I will trust with my Pucci.
The OC Pucci boutique is the absolute best, and my SA Kayla rocks. Never an attitude, always fun to play. And the sales associates will actually take care of you, even if you’re not a big spender. I really only ever buy sale items, but even so Kayla still takes time to e-​mail me personally to let me know if new items have been marked down. Not only that, but she sends photos of the items they have — so helpful! She can be your remote personal shopper if you need it.
Oh, and the amazing Capellini armchair upholstered in Pucci print fabric? Yes, you CAN buy that! Brand new it will cost you about $ 4,100; the sales associates can get you the details if you’re serious. But what *I really want is a Saarinen womb in a Vivara print…
Long live Emilio in the OC!

Emilio Pucci isn’t for everyone. The distinctive prints, at the first glance, appear flashy and over-​the-​top. But take each garment or accesory aside and you’ll understand why it’s the De Facto designer for the jet setting fashion/​celebrity set.
There’s a time in every girl’s life when we need to dress up but don’t feel up to it. Or worry too much about striking the perfect balance between chic chic and overdressed.
Voila, Pucci to the rescue. There must be a hundred ways to wear a signature Pucci scarf and it adds undeniable glamour to any outfit be that jeans or a little black dress.
Be warned, a little Pucci goes a long way. Their scarves are simply the best. Or you could simply frame them as a piece of art. Or wear as a halter top. The dresses are just plain gorgeous and extremely eye catching. You can spot a Pucci dress a mile away so they are not for the shy!
This store is fantastic as it carries tons of accessories and loads of swimwear. Oh, did I forget to mention the divine ties for the fashionable man in your life? The sales staff are extremely helpful and yes, they will even send clothes to your apartment for FREE just so that you can try them on.
Now, if only they would sell me their signature armchairs…
