Julie's Beach Wear

My family and I came to the San Diego area for vacation. This whole time one of my main goals was to buy a few nice bathing suits. Though I can do so online, I prefer to shop at small businesses. We specifically came to Del Mar to go visit Julies Beach Wear, because of the great reviews it had. My family and I walked in and were the only people in the store. We were never greeted as the sales clerk was on her phone and not paying attention. I started to pull some suits off the racks and she seemed concerned I was going to drop stuff so she asked if she could start a room, which-was great, as I wanted to try on a lot of things. I was hoping to buy at least 3-4 bathing suits, and my mother wanted to buy some as well. I continued to pull things off the racks-because they do have a great selection. The sales clerk came over, gave me a nasty look and in an extremely rude and condescending tone (while rolling her eyes) said some thing along the lines of wow youre grabbing a lot of stuff and we only let people try on ten things to which I replied okaywell do you not want me to shop here then?. I was genuinely confused because it really seemed like I was inconveniencing her because I wanted to try things on. She continued to be snarky and said well its just going to be really confusing and youre going to have to hand me everything you dont want. My whole family heard her tone and was shocked. I told her I no longer wanted to try anything on as I was holding back tears. I have social anxiety and shopping is already very hard for me. She made my experience horrible and I was bummed because I did like the selection of suits they had. The sales clerk refused to give me her name and continued to be rude while texting on her phone and dismissing me completely. She offered no apology and didnt seem to think she was out of line. I forgot to mention, she was also really rude to my mom which was not cool. Included below is a picture of the clerk after she refused to give me her name. I took the photo and her response was an eye roll and whatever.

I despise buying bathing suits. Yet Julie has made buying bathing suits a fun experience. She takes her time to help you pick out things that look great on your body, and the quality of the bathing suits are insanely good. You can wear them for years without stretching and fading. Her fashion sense is awesome, all of the clothes are so cute/cool, and I love the little extras that she has like the books and gifts. Plus she has the two cutest dogs hanging out in there and shes a riot. Julie is the best. Make sure to visit her store if youre in Del Mar, she has everything in there.

My favorite boutique in Del Mar with awesome customer service, including the Pomeranian dogs hanging around the store! There is an amount of cute things that will make you stay for hours and no one even press you to buy anything if all you want to do that day is seeing and touching pretty things. The clothes are not cheap but are very beautiful and unique. Same with the different gift items you can find there. Not the usual tackly souvenir shop, the swimsuits and bikinis are one of a kind. Everything is fabulous in store and keep changing stuff all the time.

Best boutique in San Diego. The Owner is a Master of Couture, & she will style you pretty. As well as being lovely herself, everything in her shop has been selectively chosen by her, & you can feel the love & warmth throughout her shop.
