Brandy Melville - Philadelphia 1527 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102

"I read all the reviews before I went, including the bad ones. Either they changed the staff or the reviews were outdated because the WHOLE staff team was so kind. Including the security guard. They were all so helpful and considerate. The whole environment was nice, definitely my favorite brandy that I’ve been to so far and I’ve been to plenty. Don’t be thrown off by the reviews, I had a totally different experience."

"Love the clothes here so much & would be inclined to purchase more items if any of the workers were pleasant in the slightest! Miserable and rude"

"In the store for 15 minutes or so and not one person approached me to offer help. Couldn’t find anyone to help either. Cashier uninterested at check out. Clothes are ok if you are very tiny. One size fits all is kind of a joke. They want their stuff worn by skinny people only. I only go because my daughter likes a few of their basics every so often. Kind of pricey but the resale market on this isn’t bad so you can sell when tired of it."

"My friend already posted a review about this but I just wanted to emphasize how poorly my friend was treated. It’s worth noting that I am East Asian and my friend is South Asian. When we were leaving, her bag started beeping and 2 of the girls working there came and checked our bags. The one checking my bag was also the cashier who helped me and she was nice about it. However, the one checking my friend’s bag had a super bad attitude. They found that one of the items in her bag (that had been provided by the cashier, not her personal bag) hadn’t been checked out. Instead of assuming the cashier had just missed a piece (which was what happened because I was there when my friend found and put that pair of shorts in her pile to check out), she heavily insinuated that my friend was stealing and just had a bad attitude about it. I’m not easily offended and usually give the benefit of the doubt, but even I was immediately taken aback by the way she was speaking to my friend. She also messily took everything out of my friends bag and didn’t put it back neatly which I thought was disrespectful. This situation coupled with my friend saying the cashier checking out her things was acting very uncomfortable and suspicious made us think it was very targeted toward her. Both of the workers she (the only darker skin POC in the store other than the security guard) interacted with had a bad attitude. That can’t be a coincidence. From their reputation, we knew there would only be 1 size, but we wanted to give it a chance bc we heard their clothes are a more reasonable size now. We thought going in we might be at most body shamed but the racial profiling was unexpected. We didn’t think the experience would be this bad. Listen to the bad reviews."

"This store is terrible. Every item in their store is “one size”. Literally everything. I am a size small/4 and tried on a tank top that was too small…. So I’m not exactly sure who they are catering to or what kind of message they are trying to send. Also, their return policy is awful. Two weeks for store credit only. You’d think with a terrible return policy they would let you try everything on but no, they would not allow me to try on a pair of boxers OVER my leggings. The only reason I’m leaving two stars instead of one is because I did find a few cute items I purchased but I will not be going back or recommending to anyone."
