A to Z

The new location is great! Only a few blocks away from the old location. It is much larger and now they are selling their current collection in the front room while still having the outlet in the back room. The AtoZ line has really changed in a good way! More jackets and separates, they have something for any occasion. It’s a great store to support because it is locally designed and they use top quality fabrics that feel great and look polished!

I love this clothing line! They make incredible basics in cotton, modal, and viscose fabrics that feel so comfy but look amazing. I love that the clothes work both for yoga or the office, or as cozy pieces for weekend wear without looking sloppy. A to Z also has an Outlet in the back of the store, which is where I go to stock up on basics — they have great long sleeved basic cotton t’s, cotton and modal tanks, and other easy basics.
Four stars is only because sometimes their fit and sizing is a little off. They’re getting better, though. I know the owners (local owners, woot!) and they work really hard to assure quality control and they’re working on their sizing. Awesome company.

These cotton tees, dresses, and (sometimes) pants are high quality and priced very well.
The shop girls are helpful, but keep to themselves. (win!)
This is a small and well-​organized shop, packed with many different styles and colors. Make sure that you are comfortable (not hungry, tired, thirsty) when you make your first visit — -it will take time and patience to find the cuts /​colors that suit you. But you only have to try on the entire store on once, because after that, you’ll know what’s what.
Parking = private lot.

I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading Unilocal reviews, knowing that the regular Alhambra store is very upscale.
Here’s the low down on the wares at the Alhambra Warehouse:
99% knits from a brand called AtoZ, and most of those are Turkish Cotton tissue-​jersey fabric in a large array of soft non-​offensive colors for layering. If you’re into comfortable basics like V-​neck long sleeve shirt, a flowy skirt, or just tank tops, this will works. Despite the selection seemingly targeted at ladies who dress for comfort, there’s no size deflation. And there seemed to be a dearth of pants, which is what I needed.
They have a rather large clearance section of the said tissue jersey tops. The other clearance section (cast-​offs from the the regular Alhambra store) took up about 1 foot of a rack in the back. And they’re still very pricey.
There’s a small jewelry selection by the register. The sales person was very nice. But I’m not really into the dressing room/​bathroom combination.
This store is a completely different animal than Alhambra.
Oh, and all sales are final, they do not accept returns. Bummer.

The downtown store is awesome. I think I’ll be a regular window shopper! I have yet to visit the warehouse.

The staff is friendly enough and aren’t pushy especially given how small the store is. I really wanted to like this place but there’s nothing too impressive. Lots of simple jersey dresses and t-​shirts, but the price seems much for what they are.

Whoever thinks that these prices are reasonable must be out of her mind. Simple, plain, boring t-​shirts (the quality not even near American Apparel) for $ 30 — and that’s the *clearance* price, the original was around $ 80. I’m sorry, but that’s demented and stupid. Did they use a thread of gold to sew these tees, or diamonds for buttons? Give me a break!
The only positive thing in my «shopping» experience was the store clerk — very nice, not pushy in the least, and let me look around without roaming or asking questions.

This is a hidden gem in the truest sense of the word. It’s small, it’s off-​the-​beaten-​path, and it’s jam packed with great, simple-​but-​still-​interesting clothes for incredible prices. Their tissue ts are my favorite (just thin enough), and I love that almost everything is knit, but still original and exciting. Definitely worth a trip… everyone is bound to find something they can’t live without.

Is the $ 10 trunk outside? It is? Yes!
I slam on the brakes and squeal into the parking lot to rifle madly through the trunk of normally $ 50-​$ 80 t-​shirts (I know — t-​shirts? for $ 80?).
Last Friday: success! At least 5 possible maybes from the trunk. I walked into the store to try them on, and oh look! on the back rack (where the stuff from the down town store goes to die): a classic little black dress — perfect for my girly weekend! And oh look! an adorable little sheath dress! Both dresses were half off the last marked sale price.
The shop gal assures me I can get away with showing a little leg. Is she telling the truth or making a sale? Hard to say, but I choose to believe the leg is okay.
Best shopping experience ever: I felt like Mother Teresa saving all that money (because, you know, Mother Teresa saved stuff. I think), and hell, now I look like a million leggy bucks!

Go!
Beautiful, one-​of-​a-​kind jewelry at lower prices than you’ll find anywhere else. I bought two great rings there a few weeks ago for $ 16 total.
Their A to Z t-​shirt line is wonderful — luxurious fabric with very flattering designs. They’re cheap too! Down side is after a year or so the fabric’s texture looses its sheen.
Like MM R. says: go often.

Love little secret, it’s hidden away and never too crazy inside. This weekend I found 3 dramatically reduced dresses perfect for travel and our indian summer.
Great color selection and funky odds and ends. Definitely worth a trip if you are looking for something a little different.

Great non-​Gap tee-​shirts in stock year round at really reasonable prices. Other items are hit and miss (as they are at alhambra downtown), but I’ve gotten great stuff here.
Stop by!

The warehouse version of the Alhambra store located downtown. You’ll find many of the same items (plus more) from a season past dramatically discounted. You’ll be able to splurge and buy a few extras. Inventory rolls over so check back often.
