Fox’s

I usually stroll around the area while my friends shop but i entered the store today and overall i was impressed with everything, but the Asian woman that worked there followed me around the store pretending she was fixing clothes from a distance. I went into the fitting room to try on a few things and there she was again this time eyeing my purse as if i came in there to steal. I felt super uncomfortable being the only African american in the store at the time and i can tell other people around me felt uncomfortable from the way she was staring at me. Fox’s has a great collection but i just could not wait to leave. I purchased my items and left the store as soon as possible. Mind you i spent over 200 $ while being made to feel like a thief. The cashiers were very nice though. At the very least this woman needs more training. I will not be recommending this place to anyone i know.

I went into this store weeks ago. The front door was wide open & a girl was standing there with balloons. The staff did not see me enter. There were at least 5 people on line. As I started to browse, they closed the door and told 2 women that tried to enter that they were closed. When they did see me, they were terribly annoyed. A woman rushed up to me & told me they were closed & I should leave. I told her I would be gone before everyone on line was gone. I wound up buying a pair of pants & standing on line with the other people. When I left, The Manager yelled, «Is she gone»? Oh my God, I was a paying customer! Everyone in the store was Jewish except for the Asian woman who told me to leave. I am not Jewish. I hope this had nothing to do with it, but I have my doubts. A horrible experience.

Fox’s is an East Coast retailer of off-​price designer womenswear and accessories with locations in NY, NJ and points south (see:
). On its face I have no business reviewing Foxs … they do not carry menswear (in the Ridgewood locale anyhow) and I neither wear women’s clothing and accessories … nor do I aspire to such an extravagant lifestyle. But this quirky Sy Syms concept clone is great for bargains, and I do so like a bargain — especially when my honey needs a wardrobe makeover and I know that she appreciates the company.
First off — strictly from a guy’s perspective — there is enough free coffee, cookies and plush seating to keep you occupied for a while — even if you can’t stand shopping for women’s clothing.
Secondly, I like shopping for this stuff with my honey and the back story to my fascination with such things is simple — nostalgia.
My dad was an old school, European tailor and owned a custom tailor shop on the upper East side of Manhattan in the 60’s and 70’s. He counted several celebs and designers as clients (including Donghia and Judy Garland) and was a genius craftsman. As a kid, dad would school me in the quality of woolens, silks and stitching by having me handle the goods to detect quality. I accompanied him on his weekly forays to Delancey Street and environs to buy material and tailors trimmings and nosh on bagels, bialys and appetizing in this old world, bazaar-​like environment so yeah … I know some stuff about the shmata business.
Fox’s occasionally carries fine quality imported goods of the quality I remember vetting with my dad, and this quality should satisfy most any woman’s tastes. So take your honey shopping to Fox’s Unilocalers — spend some shekels and help her choose her wardrobe — and see how broadly she smiles!
