Papillon

Kreshenka is amazing. She provided superior customer service… always friendly and willing to find your size if she does not have it in stock. If she tells you to try something on… just do it! Kreshenka «just knows» what will work best to flatter your body type, even though it may be a style you would not have considered on your own. Her Mom is a sweetheart as well… together, they make shopping a very pleasurable experience!

I had a short amount of time for a last minute interview and Cryshenka (sp) was absolutely amazing! She worked with my time limit and body type. I simply told her what I was doing and BAM I had amazing outfits and bought 2!!! The first one got me a 2^nd interview, and I plan to wear the 2^nd to help me secure a new position! Thank you and I will be shopping there soon and so should all of you!

Amazing boutique. Owner is awesome and will pick clothes for you that will fit you and that you would never think of.
Her mama also works there and is lovely.
I have been shopping there for a long time!

Possibly the nicest boutique in the entire South Bay with clothes to die for. Not only that — the owner and her mother are charming, polite and helpful and know exactly how to dress each individual customer. I had no idea what to buy — just told them I had a fancy Yacht Club lunch to attend. They brought me dresses — which I NEVER wear — gorgeous tops — a mini skirt —- I bought the lot! $ 935 spent and well worth every penny. I will definitely go back — hopefully when they have sales. It is so wonderful when a sales person takes the time to pick out flattering clothes for the customer. I bought items I would never have picked out on my own, and they look amazing.

This place is AWESOME! Joseph Ripkoff dresses for $ 165 – 175! Beautiful dresses and some of the beautiful sun dresses were only $ 15. Super great service and awesome prices… wish they had this place in the OC!

I have to agree with the other two girls that gave this owner a 1 star! This lady (Krushenka, who I guess is the owner), is Rude, Condescending and just down right Unprofessional!
I’ve bought (on two separate occasions) two formal party dresses and a pair of Pella Mode shoes. My first purchase was over $ 450.00! And my second was over $ 250.00. You would think that when I’ve gone back in the store to buy again, she would roll out the red carpet… not the case.
I’m pretty sure that she remembers me. I don’t live in Redondo Beach but when I’m up that way I make it a point to stop in her shop.(not anymore!)
The two dresses and shoes that I bought are pretty Hott looking. I always get compliments on both of them… but as a friend would always tell me… It’s not the dress, it’s the body inside of it… lol. (I will NEVER tell anyone where these were bought, I will now make up a name or just say Bloomingdales, Nordstrom or Saks (where I normally shop).
On this last occasion when I was there she and her staff (I think it’s her mom) were just so inconsiderate. She was wanting me to try on this skirt that was so not me and got offended when I told her that I just knew that wouldn’t look good on me. I was trying on a whole bunch of dresses and party wear and she immediately stopped helping me when she thought I wasn’t going to buy anything?!
I have my BA in Fashion Design. I remember speaking with her on the phone one day (I had a dress shipped to me) and she had to tell me about how good she is with putting together outfits etc. I don’t think she really cared that I already knew what I was doing, get compliments all the time…(closet to die for).
After reading another review of the girl that gave her a 4 star and bought a $ 20.00 sweater… TJMaxx! Really?
I guess she likes those kind of customers instead.
Whatever comment she makes in response to this one, I would Never believe! She apologizes with responses that are untrue. She will not change her attitude. It’s apparent by the way I’ve been treated time and time again. You lost a great customer! Horrible customer service… your loss!

Ladies please boycott this store and re-​post. The staff that work at this store are unprofessional, rude and insensitive to women. We were there yesterday and when my friend went to try on a dress she was told that the dress won’t stretch as if my friend was a size 100. Further when we went back to point out that you don’t handle potential customers this way. Instead of apologizing the woman proceeded to say that «we don’t not need your business.» They forget that local women are who keep these companies in business. PLEASE BOYCOTT!

We were there yesterday and when my friend went to try on a dress she intercepted at the dressing room entrance and told rudely «that dress won’t stretch, it won’t fit you». We left, shocked and amazed, going into another store across the street where she bought a beautiful sundress in a size medium. We were still so upset that when we went back to point out that you don’t handle potential customers this way.

Krushenka is AMAZING!!! If you are willing to accept her help she will hook you up! She knows what looks good on different body types. I have gone to her store for many occasions especially if I want to wear something classy and different than the rest of the crowd,
I hate shopping for clothes and I never know what looks good on me. I would rather pay a little extra and have pieces that last and are timeless! She also has shoes and accessories so you do not have to show around for the rest of the outfit. Its a ONE-​STOP-​SHOP and I’m so lucky I live just around the corner!
LOVE THIS STORE!!!

Every time I walk into Papillon, I find 1 or 2 or 10 beautiful pieces that I absolutely must walk out of the store with. Krushenka, the owner and stylist, does an amazing job buying for the store, for it is very different from anything you see anywhere else. She has everything from sexy to elegant to sophisticated. Beautiful shoes and boots and the most unique accessories. Once you discover Papillon, you will become addicted!

Drop-​dead gorgeous clothes, well worth the price — you get what you pay for after all. Ridiculously helpful and friendly owners with a great eye for fit and style. I’m a HUGE fan, havent been able to find any other store like it. Just writing this review makes me have a Pappion-​hankering! I think I’ll have to leave work early and get on in there — hereeee I comeeee!!!

I just love the clothes here. I’ve been shopping here for years and the shop owner will order special items and hold dresses for you.
great place, really cute selection.

i went to this store by accident just coming out of a restaurant and i was amazed at the variety and assistance of the staff willing to help me pick out a gift for my friend. i swear if i was a girl i would shop here all the time… lol…great spot to check out and prices are cheap*****

Papillon is a cool unique little boutique store located in the Riviera Village just a block from the beach. You can see a beautiful sunset from the front steps of the store as you feel the ocean breeze. There are a few bars nearby to have a drink and there is plenty of metered parking on the street.
The store is owned by a mother and daughter who are very nice and quite helpful. Everytime, I go there the daughter (Krushenka) always takes time to help me.
What I really like about Papillon is that the store carries the Canadian designer Joseph Ribkoff. Ribkoff makes beautiful dresses that are good for both casual and cocktail wear. They also come in a variety of sizes and are very comfortable to wear.
In addition to this, the store has jeans, funky t shirts and designer earrings. The earrings are very unique and specially designed.
I really enjoy browsing through Papillon while listening to sexy Latin and French music. The store also has a sidewalk sales rack that is worth checking out.

I went into Papillon just yesterday trying to find an outfit for a Christmas Party this weekend. Krushenka and Janelle (sorry if I butchered your names!!) were SO helpful and picked out great things for me to try on. It was great because I tried things on that I normally would pass by on the rack. The prices are reasonable and it has a very friendly vibe. I will definitely be back :)

Hot or not?
Check out the pic of the sweater I just bought off the sale rack for 20 bucks. The striped one in brown, green and mustard yellow.
I spotted it from my car, hanging on an outside sidewalk rack, and thought it would be a great ugly sweater donation. It even has a hood, that doesn’t show in the photo.
So I parked the car and tried it on, expecting that those wide horizontal stripes in those colors would make me look like a cross between a moo cow and a bumblebee.
But to my amazement it fit great, looked pretty good on me! OK I may have lost a couple of pounds, that did help.
So tell me… ugly sweater… or not?
BTW, Papillon is a tiny store with a good inventory, including boots and shoes, even coats. They have really nice cocktail dresses and gowns. Beaded long gowns are in the $ 100−200+ range.
It’s nice to have this shop in my own little village just in case I need something in a hurry and have no time to drive to TJ Maxx.
And their sale rack is worth checking out. Good bargains.

This is a small store located on a corner in So Redondo’s Riviera Village. There is plenty of street metered parking as well as a huge lot right up the block with metered parking.
The shop has a lot of interesting dresses, from beachy to beaded and fancy. The prices are reasonable and you can get really great deals on their sale racks, which are always worth a look!
They also carry jeans and really funky shoes that look very euro and uncomfortable to me, pointed toes and very high heels.

I just bought a gold/​black striped kimono shirt for $ 25 and hoop earrings for $ 10. Few months ago I bought a cute summer dress for $ 45. The price is moderate and the owner lady and her mother are very friendly. It isn’t the most spacious place but it does its job. If I don’t feel like going to a gigantic mall to buy an outfit for a night out in town, I can count on Papillon to show me a decent selection.
