Incognito

I am a fan, …but…always a but
Pricey…You have to look for the bargains and they are there.
Cute clothes and shoes, the sales people are always helpful.
Some times the store is a little crowded with racks of clothes, so kinda hard to see the fashion.
always worth a stop in when strolling down Main Street

If you want shoes this is the place to come!!! The best shoes, all the great jeffery campbells and some rad stuff to wear if you arent the typical conservation michiganer.
this place reminds me of clothes i would find in boutiques in the UK. I love it!
For everyone that says its an overpriced forever 21 then go shop there and see 20 different other girls wearing your outfit out at the same time!

My dear friend’s gorgeous Betsey Johnson tapestry coat swished out on her saucy frame through the door of Incognito two years ago. A good portion of her wardrobe originates from these halcyon shelves, and inspired by her dress sense, I thought the boutique might be the place for me. Certainly the shopfront windows with their everchanging array of glittering shoes and whimsical clothes sets out to appeal.
After going inside, I am not sure what all the fuss is about. Trying to snatch hold of a fading image, surely. Lucking out at the right time? I think so. For so much of Incognito’s stock, though, I could go elsewhere — the Betsey Johnson store in Somerset, DSW for the shoes, online for practically all of it.
Overpriced hip, punk-​wannabe clothing mingles with more upscale brands. Doc Martins and Lip Service on one side, Chinese Laundry and Made in Detroit on the other. The remnants of the dyed-​in-​the-​wool goth set who supped on NIN and Neil Gaiman still flutter in, along with the more dramatic, fussy teens out to buy a teeny pinstripe vest and a pair of glossy black pants to go with it. The staggered collection features women’s wear heavily over men’s, plenty of pricey accessories dripping off shelves. I like that half the store is devoted to shoes and their ilk; I had much more fun thumbing through the boots and heels and trainers than I did the clothes.
They also do a great favour and mark on the price tag what sizes remain, so no point drooling over a cute pair of boots when only size 6.5 is there to be had. I’m hoping their sales hit with regularity.
I’ll be no regular. The price point is far above what I care to pay; the tags sure as hell don’t justify what you get; and by and large, I feel like the employees and regulars are trying far too hard to be cool to give a damn. If I want that, I’ll pop down to Forever 21 or Pacific Sun.

EW NO.
this place is an overpriced forever 21.
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.

Not a great storefront, an OK selection of clothes, and to top it off, not very friendly service. The accessories are a mildly redeeming quality, but not enough for an additional star.

love it! Although the prices can be high on some of the clothing items, they have great sales on shoes! I like their collection of funky jewelry and sunglasses as well. It’s just a fun store :)

I love the mix of brands at this little Royal Oak shop. You always find something uniique. Huge accesory space in second room. Great stop before a night out. Only drawback is you cant tell how expensive something is until you check the tag. I’ve seen jackets for 20 bucks and 300 bucks. soo. dont fall in love instantly.

even though I live in Chicago and have amazing shoe store selections, I still wait to come home to Royal Oak to shoe shop (lower tax prices help too). The shoes here are very Royal Oak, but once in a while they have some really amazing stuff. Last year I bought a pair of boots by 80%20 that I’ve yet to find anywhere else and I get compliments every time I wear them. The only reason I’m giving this a 4 instead of a 5 is because there really isn’t any need for so many hooker shoes. It doesn’t seem like they’re flying off the shelves. In fact, some of those same shoes are there from the year previous. Class it up, Incognito. You’ve been around for years, no need to prove anything.

I guess I don’t really understand this place, or the hype behind it. The pricing is very high for the clothes, and I’ve never found one piece here that I was attracted to. Everything seemed very… gaudy.
I do have to say I am a fan of the shoe selection. Cute shoes, good pricing.

I’m not too fond of their overpriced clothing selection (sometimes it’s a bit too trendy for an early 30-​something like me), or the fact that you have to come out of the dressing room to look in the mirror (unless they’ve remedied that sometimes embarrassing situation). But I will say one good thing about Incognito: They have an amazing shoe sale!
Their shoe selection, for men and women, takes up nearly half of the store. It includes everything from high heels and sneakers, to ballet flats and «stripper shoes». Every so often (usually when the fashion season changes) they host a $ 10 shoe sale. Pretty much every shoe is marked down. But make sure to go early — the «popular» sizes are the first to go, and all you’re left to choose from are size 4 or size 12. But I guess if you have unusually large or small feet, that’s a good thing.

It started with a hunt for a blue Manic Panic wig. It hasn’t stopped since.
That was the first time I wandered into this great men’s and women’s boutique that really defines shopping in downtown Royal Oak. To me, Incognito also helps retain some of the city’s edgy punk rock past.
If you squint your eyes when you walk out the door you can almost see the kids with mohawks who used to hang out at the corner of 4^th and Main back in the mid 90s. But you don’t have to know that to appreciate the merchandise inside.
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll outgrow Incognito … I’ve been shopping here since high school after all. But just the other day I found a pair of killer 6″ strappy heels I could never have worn then that seem perfectly appropriate now. So I guess I’m still A-​OK and still and Incognito faithful shopper.
I’ve found cute tees and chic trench coats, and always loved shopping for shoes here. Sometimes pricey, sometimes the best deal in town, it’s always worth stopping in.

This store definitely has some unique clothing and the clothes are very reminiscent of Urban Outfitters/​Lost and Found (in Royal Oak). They have a wide variety of clothes and shoes for men/​women but this place definitely breaks the bank $$$$$$$
The only thing I’ve picked up from here have been from the sale rack and that still cost me a chuck. I would get much better deals @Urban Outfitters or Lost and Found (thrift) or Regeneration (thrift)

I’ve never walked into Incognito and not found a pair of shoes that I wanted — and could afford. If you love heels, they have a killer selection at really great prices. Platform 4 inch pumps with gold accents for $ 50, gladiator style stilletos for $ 15, over the knee boots for $ 65. I always get compliments on what I’ve found here. Most shoes start in a size 5 and many of them fit a wider foot like mine — which is really hard to find.
Note: I don’t believe they accept returns — just exchanges & store credit.

I really, really want to like this place. I like the concept, and I understand the vibe that they’re going for, but there’s something about it that just doesn’t have me 100% sold.
The mark-​up on the clothes they sell borders on outrageous at times. I’ve found the same pieces at other stores for anywhere from 30 – 100 dollars less. The staff always has a great appearance (very trendy and fashionable) but aren’t always the most helpful. The selection IS eclectic, but again, the prices are a bit high for what they’re selling. Not a terrible place to shop, but not one of the ones I’d go out of my way to recommend either.

Such a fun store to go to! They always carry the Made In Detroit wear and have the best shoe selection! Super hip clothes, some to crazy for me but I am three three. Love the sunglasses, shoes and dresses! So fun. Seems like it sound be in downtown LA so I am lucky it is in MI! :)

When I want something unique and not just another forever21 dress
I love it here. I always walk out with either a new pair of funky shoes, a sassy dress or sparkly bauble. The staff are super friendly and always look edgy and fashion forward. if you are on a tight budget or are looking to splurge there is something for everyone.

Every once in awhile, I can be kind of a dick.
It’s okay! I know it, I understand it, and after the fact I usually realize when it happens… and I’m big enough to say it when I was wrong (one example is my Detroit Threads review and update).
I had written a couple of nasty reviews about Incognito, I had a funny thing happen there with a misunderstanding about me being a thief and I have dogged it out in the past.
But there is a significant distinction to make about this place… It might not be my kind of place, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t fill a void that certain people want filled. That’s an interesting aspect of a user review, just because it’s not my style, does it mean that it should get less stars?
I’ve learned that I should go to Incognito to buy my sunglasses… and that’s it (although I lose a pair a month, so I go there every couple months in the summer). They do a good job w/​shades, and the girls who work there are always super cool about talking to me and suggesting different sunglasses and working through what I want. And I’m usually really happy with the pair that I buy.
But the environment isn’t what I love and the music usually stinks… what to do with a place like this?
I took the crappy way out and went with the mediocre 3 stars. Call me a sellout… I can handle it.

The shoes!
I like to window shop in the clothing department, unless there is a serious sale. I love the clothes, of course. Funky, edgy, expensive. But the shoes, both for men and women are awesome. A great selection, and reasonably priced. Heels, boots, flats, runners, they’ve got it all. The purses, belts and accessories complete the offerings. It’s just not a good place for a shopaholic like me.

I went to Incognito the other night when I was window shopping in Royal Oak. We are thinking of moving out there to be closer to work so I wanted to see what the downtown area has to offer.
I was impressed with their selection, especially of dresses and shoes. Their t-​shirts were cool and unique too, but I found them a little pricey for what they were.
Speaking of price… as a native of Ann Arbor I would say I am pretty used to sticker shock when it comes to shopping at «trendy» boutiques. But even I was a little in shock of how much some of their stuff was priced for. But like someone else said, they have good stuff on their sales rack– it doesn’t seem to just be the junk that no one wants. They had a few pair of shoes that were marked down from the $ 100 range to btwn $ 10 – 40, which seemed like a steal, if only they had them in my size. They also had a few dresses that were reasonable at $ 40 – 60, considering they were unique.
The cons:
I found their sales staff to be a little snooty. Maybe it’s because I am not trendy nor hip, and the only purchase I made that evening was a $ 10 Hello Kitty toe ring… They seemed to be a little nicer and accomidating to the «hip» girls making $ 200 purchases– but you know, you’ll find that kind of service in almost anyplace you go. Hey, I used to work in retail, I know how it goes.
But I will definately frequent this store when we move out there, especially during the Royal Oak Sidewalk Sales, the weekend of July 18^th :)

Some of my most favorite articles of clothing have come from Incognito. It’s a great place to find strange accessories or really unique t-​shirts.
I take off one star for the pricing. The prices here are… prohibitive. A lot of the clothing here is really swank, but expect to pay swank prices; this is the only place I’ve ever tried on a $ 700 jacket. Maybe that makes me sheltered, or it makes me smart, because I put it back on the rack.
In the same breath, I’ve also gotten some really great stuff here for cheap. My most favorite hoodie in the world (which, by the way, has lasted longer than any hoodie I’ve ever owned) only cost $ 10. I would suggest checking in on the sale rack from time to time; for one reason or another, some great stuff hits the sale rack and ends up being 75% off. I also got a pair of New Rock boots in this way; $ 100, marked down from $ 250.
The t-​shirts are short-​run prints that are really unique; but again, expect to pay «unique» prices, between $ 20 – 40 for a shirt. Still, some of the designs merit that sort of pricing.
For men looking to be swank and not ironic, this is the only place in town worth checking out. The ironic can check out Funky 7 instead and be just as happy!
