Piperlime

Always walked past but never walked in. I was walking by when I exclaimed how cute a dress was in the window so my friend walked in. Of course I end up purchasing instead of her. Just a cute moto jacket. Sales associates were very helpful offering to start up a room for me but I was just trying on jackets as I was on my break. Love the bags that they pack your goods in and the layout of the shop. Pricing is scattered because there are multiple DESIGNER brands being sold here. If you stick to the Piperlime products and the sale product it’s cheaper. Not sure what people expect from 7 and Citizen, Hoffman and Jacobs, Minkoff and Victoire. Like yes, those designers are expensive but there’s a range. Know your range and stick to it. No need to complain about what’s not in range.
Also if you take the online survey and speak on your experiences you get 20% off a full priced item. Better than nothing. Saw a pair of Citizens that I will be back for.

The sales associates at the store are friendly in general, but the overall professionalism of the staff is unacceptable.
On Saturday at 1:30pm, I put two pairs of shoes on hold to purchase later in the afternoon. When I returned at 5:00pm to complete my purchase, I was informed that my boxes had been lost in the store. After waiting 20 minutes for the staff to search the inventory, an associate approached me to ask if I wanted to buy the shoes in different sizes. It seemed rude to suggest this as an option since I would clearly be buying two pairs of shoes that didn’t fit me. The products that I had placed on hold were the last pair in my size of each shoe.
I called again the next morning and was told that it wasn’t possible to tell whether my shoes had actually been misplaced in the store or sold to another customer.
It was an infuriating situation in which the staff at the store was as pleasant as they could be but was unable to give me any information on how this oversight occurred. I understand that as the only Piperlime store, they are quite busy and that mistakes happen, but it is no excuse. No sales associate should willingly try to sell me something that they know won’t fit, just to make a profit. Additionally, it should not be so difficult to determine whether a product placed on hold is lost in the store or sold to another customer.
As it turns out, both pairs of the shoes I had reserved were sold and were sold out online as well. I hope whomever bought the shoes enjoys them as much as I would have, had they actually been held for me to purchase.

It’s difficult for me to give Piperlime a fair review. Why? We recently came here for an Essie even where you had to RSVP to be guaranteed a gift set. It was pouring raining outside but we braved the inclement weather so we could dry off in the store and get our gift set. When we were about to enter the store, we were told the set was only if you bought an item but we would get a free polish. We first decided to get a drink, which was difficult to get to due to how the store is laid out. There seems to be a rotunda of shoes in the center which blocks the left and right sides. We finally got our drinks and began to browse around. Everything was overpriced and not worth the cost. I suppose if you have $$$ to drop like that on shoes and clothes, then this is the place for you. Unfortunately for us, it was far too expensive.

Furniture is amazing… They offer free water, tea and coffee at the entrance. Prices are not for a first grader, unless your first grader can read 4 digit numbers and above!
When you see the prices for the furniture, your first though will be, I wonder what magic rainforest tree this was made out of?! It’s moments like this that I wish I was a top Hollywood celebrity or at least a Beverly Hills housewife!
All jokes aside, you get what you pay for, and This is not Ikea furniture! It seems very well done, clean cut and fits for all type, from clean modern styled apartments to rustic wood in a cottage type. Give it a try and come see what they offer. You never know what beautiful piece you’ll have to work a few months to save enough for to actually put on lay away! :)

Yes, I was probably a bit exhausted when I finally made it through SoHo to the Piperlime store, but I wasn’t overly impressed. I’ve been shopping Piperlime ever since their website was introduced back in 2006. To me, the website is pure magic, and I’ve purchased dozens of shoes from them over the past 8 years. However, the store didn’t quite deliver in my opinion. I love the clothes online, but nothing (clothes, shoes, or accessories) really intrigued me enough in store for me to try it on. However, I’ll make sure to give Piperlime a second try next time I’m in NYC.

The store is laid out pretty well, just like the website! «Girl on a budget», «splurge-​worthy», etc. Shoes are placed in the center of the store and the fitting rooms at the back. While the registers are in the front.
I attempted to try on a dress around the time the store first opened its location in soho, but since it took what seemed to be forever to be placed in a room, I was given a «free express shipping» code to use for the online store. Pretty cool :)

Very well curated (i.e., tons of cute stuff) and merch available at every price point. I love the way the store is laid out! It’s just like the website… party dresses, stuff under $ 100, splurge section, etc.
Friendly staff and a well decorated store round out a pleasant shopping experience.

Piperlime’s web site has always been one of my favorite window shopping time wasters, and their brick and mortar store is no exception. It features a small but well-​curated selection of items from
, including everything from clothing to shoes to jewelry.
There’s a little something for everyone here — I usually stick to the «Girl on a Budget» section, which has all of the affordable finds. But they do have a lot of items at higher price points from several well-​known designers. The clothing is trendy and season-​appropriate. My only complaint is that they don’t carry a lot of sizes in their clothing — there is usually only one of any item in each size, if that.
It’s worth stopping by Piperlime just for their jewelry selection — a lot of great, on-​trend, vintage-​y looking pieces. Most of the jewelry is super affordable, though, again, they also have some slightly pricier items from labels like Kate Spade and House of Harlow 1960. I love browsing the tables of rings and racks of necklaces; it’s all beautifully arranged. They have a small, but tasteful handbag selection here as well, though, if you’re really looking for a new purse or other accessories like a wallet or scarf, you’re better off shopping at
.
I find the shoe section a bit overwhelming — most of the shoes are arranged in the middle of the store in this odd bookcase/​stairs-​looking thing. Other than the shoe section, I do love the layout of the store. It’s on the small side, but it feels fresh and clean; everything is easy to find, and the store is very well-​lit. I find the staff to be pleasant as well. Overall, while I mostly just browse here without actually buying anything, I’d say Piperlime is a must-​stop on your next Soho shopping excursion.

AHH! Finally the Piperlime store! I was visiting a friend over the weekend in NYC and my one priority was to come check out the new Piperlime store. After wasting away my days at work on this website, I was so excited to see and try on all the clothes in person.
The store did not disappoint! So trendy and well put together. They definitely are on top of the trends, and section out the store so it is easy to shop each one.
The prices are all ranges, so dont be intimidated if the first item you see if super expensive. They have cheaper stuff too! Also, if they dont have your size in the store they have very handy computers sitting out where you can order it right away with free shipping.

I did not know Piperlime had a brick-​and-​mortar location! Not that I was so excited about this find, because I don’t shop on their online store either, but I had discovered that their beautiful layout and well-​stocked shelves can really afford a lovely shopping experience for any woman who likes to throwdown during a SoHo shopping spree! I spent less than ten minutes in the store, and thought they had a really elegant and relevant collection of clothes, accessories & shoes from my brief encounter. I really liked the costume and statement jewelry that they’ve curated here. Large, chunky, statement necklaces that are on trend, and for reasonable prices ($ 30-​ish) was a very nice find. Now, the massive shoe display they have in the center of the store towards the back, where the fitting rooms are (I think), makes quite a visual display, but I hate it. Sure, it looks nice at first, but I think the mechanics of it makes for an unpleasant, clunky shoe-​shopping experience. I can’t imagine the headache in trying more than just 3 pairs of shoes from the many options on display, and what that does to the sales rep having to fetch such a great, big variety for multiple customers. I’d avoid all that. (DSW though much less elegant, is still much more convenient). Lastly, my final observation is the wide gap in prices, as another reviewer mentioned. On the one hand you have some really affordable pieces, while others are exorbitant. That said, make sure you have a high limit on your plastic!
Overall, 3.5 Stars.

so fun!

I love how this store is set up (especially the shoe display), where each section is like its own vignette. But I still prefer the website due to its far vaster selection. The online store offers free shipping and returns anyway (except on Final Sale items), so I only shop the physical store if I want to try on something right away.
On
, you can see EXACTLY what the physical store has in stock by clicking at the tiny «Store» link at the bottom of the homepage where it says «Find Us». Then click on «Shop our SoHo store here».

I love me some Piperlime. And while it was cool to visit an actual storefront rather than the usual virtual shopping, I think I’ll stick to stocking up in front of my computer screen.
The shop is beautifully laid out, with shoes taking the focus in the center of the store, and clothes gracing all other areas of the space. Tons of jewelry on display, too! When I popped in, the shop was pretty packed (just what I’d expect from a Saturday in SoHo) and the fitting room line was crazy long. Thankfully I didn’t find anything I had to have, because that line would totally have put a damper on my shopping mood.
While the shop was visually appealing, I did find myself wishing that the merchandising made a bit more sense. There were certain sections clearly marked to designate higher end or affordability, but then others seemed almost thrown together. With so much offered via the website, I do get that it’s probably difficult to pick and choose what gets displayed in-​store and how to organize all of it. When I shop, I like to carefully look through the racks — I don’t ever want to miss anything! — and I felt like sticking to the website would probably be a better route for me. But, I do love the Piperlime and definitely recommend a pop-​in, even if just to check out a brick-​and-​morter version of the popular powerhouse.

I have no idea when I heard of them, nor do I remember when I started shopping from them. All I can say, was they have great customer service. They don’t have a store anywhere close by here, you can only buy through their online catalog.
Zappos, compete with Piperline for their Free Shipping and Free Return policy. If you’re looking for that perfect outfit, they have it. If you’re looking for that perfect boots, shoes, they have it. If you want to add comments, negative or positive, you can!
I am finding brands, that can not be found @ your local boutique or department stores, IN ONE WEBSITE, in the comfort of your home. No need to fight for parking, @ the mall, nor worry when your shipment arrives. I have one arrived within 3 days and I didn’t even pay for extra overnight shipping!

This is a review less about the store itself, and more about the customer service.
There are very few times I’ve experienced such great customer service. Gina the general manager is amazing. I came in with a really complicated return from online, involving a coupon. Gina spend almost an hour on the phone with support helping me sort it out and make sure I got my money back. I think at most other stores I would have gotten a «Well, sorry, you’re out of luck» and she went above and beyond to help me out.
All the other customer service representatives I encountered in the store were equally friendly and helpful.
It’s a cute store. Clearly much smaller selection than their massive online inventory, but still a large selection compared to some of the other stores in soho and wide price range that has something for everyone.
Highly, highly recommend coming here. Also, you can return your online purchases at the store which is even more awesome.

I’m not a regular at
but when I heard that they opened up their very first STORE, it’s definitely worth a visit.
The store itself was cute, spacious and had a great flow/​layout. They had a separate section for shoes and accessories. And the clothing area was sectioned off in various categories, such as brands, individual pieces, etc. My favorite section was the «girl on a budget» rack (e.g. everything under $ 100)
In that particular section, I saw a winter coat in cream selling for $ 89. Of course it was beautiful and tempting enough to try on. The staff member was very friendly and helped me find my size in the backroom (the one I tried on was one size too big). When she came back, luckily there was a coat in my size (with only ONE left in the back; of course). Needless to say, I left that store with a large bag and a big smile :)
The clothes, shoes and accessories you’ll find here are always on trend and great quality. I greatly prefer seeing my items in person rather than browsing them online. It definitely made me think twice about Piperlime and
. If I had the luxury of living in NYC, I’d be happy to stop by here more often but as a Californian, I’ll just have get my Piperlime fix online. Hopefully they’ll continue to be successful and open up shop on the West Coast *hint*hint*

I finally made it downtown to the Piperlime store after shopping on their website for the past year. The store has a unique set up with zones that feature selections from their online editors (Rachel Zoe, Oliva Palmerio, etc.), Girl on a Budget features clothes that are under $ 100, and they have a beautiful shoe display (look at my picture). They have shoes by Frye, Steve Madden, Pour La Victoire, Rachel Zoe, etc. The only names I recognized in the clothing area were jeans from 7 for all mankind and Joie.
They didn’t have the boots that I wanted but the sales associate took me to their computer and she showed me the styles they have online. She also showed me that if I go on their website, I could «shop the Soho store from home». You can go on their website and it will tell you all of the items they carry in their store, so you don’t have to make a trip there for something they don’t have. I wish I would’ve known this before because it would’ve saved me time lol. However, I was able to order my boots in the store and receive free overnight shipping! SCORE! If I ordered them online from home, the shipping would be free for 3 – 5 business days. Another plus is that if you order from the website and the items don’t work out for you, you can now return the items to the Piperlime store instead of sending it back through the mail.
They also lost some points, because it took around 3 minutes before I was greeted (I work in retail, and first impressions are everything!) and they don’t have major brands like DVF or Marc Jacobs in the store. All the good stuff is online.

I’ve loved Piperlime for and made a dash to the Soho store the first week it was open. Really love the layout. It reflects the website and offers a great selection of affordable trends and splurge worthy pieces to build a beautiful wardrobe.
Though I do have a warning: playing dress up with the lux looks might result in a large expense. Their clothes are so lovely and fit so nicely that it’s hard to say no once you’ve felt the magnificence.
On the other hand, the unique and affordable jewelry selection is worth the visit alone.

I’m glad for a couple hours of free time to check out this store. I’ve done quite a bit of online shopping with Piperlime, so to visit the new store was quite exciting. The music playing that day was all 80’s with some one hit wonders thrown in, which is always fun to listen to while shopping.
The store has a pretty nice layout — spacious and very organized. It has a little bit of everything like clothes, shoes, purses, and jewelry. And just like online, there’s even a section for a woman with a budget (items under $ 100 or less), to which I made a beeline. Petite ladies, there’s not a section for us, but I did find some petite styled 7 for Mankind jeans. Unfortunately, they were not on sale. Dammit. Oh well.
I really had no intention of buying anything since I had little room in my luggage. But that changed quickly when I started trying things on. Ugh. I’m weak. Employees were so nice and checked on me a few times throughout and up until time I paid and left. Now, if only they could open a Chicago location…

Piperlime FINALLY opens an actual store. I saw the news announced on the website and have been counting down the days till it officially open.
The store is very well setup, and the service was fantastic. Now I was somewhat bummed that they didn’t carry as much stock as the website, but I’m hoping they will in-​time. My #1 reason for visiting was to try on a pair of Currant/​Elliot jeans, but I did leave with an awesome pair of Rich & Skinny skinny jeans.
Also, their price range (aside from the girl on a budget rack) is pretty on-​par with the SoHo neighborhood. You’ll find more $ 100+ items in the store.
I’m still a fan, and hopeful that they will start to feature more items under $ 100 in the near future.
