Isabelle’s Cabinet

If this is the boutique I’m thinking of, the one at the end of Main St (closest to the beach), then yes, the customer service here is absolutely terrible.
I’ve walked in twice (still kicking myself for not learning the first time) just to browse their clothes. Their window designs are usually pretty on-​point and inviting and one time I walked in because they had a July 4^th themed bralette that caught my eye.
It’s true what people have been saying. The girls in here will completely ignore you. Not that I need reps to be all up in my face offering help when I’m shopping, but they don’t even look up from their phones or pause their conversations with each other to say hello when you walk in. Super snobby girls and always some conversation about a sorority party or nasty gossip about other people– completely unprofessional and such a turn-​off. Even if you grab clothes and walk around, they don’t offer to start a fitting room for you. You kind of have to .help yourself and assume what you’re doing is ok. Then when you’re done browsing and you let yourself out the door, again, nobody looks up to say thank you or bye.
To be fair, clothes/​accessories here are cute and are reasonably-​priced. However a lot of the styles copy existing brands such as Brandy Melville, but are knockoff miscellaneous labels for around the same price. At that point you might as well shop at Brandy.
Don’t go in here when there are plenty of other stylish boutiques on Main St. where the people working will actually value your time and treat you with respect.

I love this store, don’t get me wrong, but they absolutely need to change their return policy. Only exchange or store credit allowed, no refunds. I find that extremely rude and unnecessary cause what if there are people who genuinely need their money back? I just don’t find that fair that you’re gonna keep my own money from me even when what I’m returning has never been worn at all.

I normally shop at the Newport location but I was in the area so I stopped into this one and my experience was terrible. The workers never got off their phones to even acknowledge I was there. One worker I think was named Sarah (?) and there was another girl with her. So disappointing because the store has such cute clothes too bad the atmosphere and attitude in the store is unattractive.

I want to give this store a great review because the clothing is so cute and actually not too expensive. However, the return policy is horrible. I ordered online and received my dress in the mail, only to find out it wasn’t cut to fit a taller girl. No big deal, I made the half hour drive to return it because according to the website, as long as I had the packing slip and online receipt a full refund would be no issue. Well, that wasn’t the case at all. I actually was told that I could only take store credit or buy something that day to replace it. I had just driven over a half hour to get here, and honestly I didn’t like anything else. I just wanted my $ 50 back on my credit card. But they wouldn’t do it. In other words, don’t buy from here unless you’ve tried the piece on!

I first discovered this unique trendy shop in San Clemente. Unfortunately my experience wasn’t great. The girls were not that friendly and made it feel like it was inconvenience when I asked for help. But the clothes were adorable and it sucked that the service turned me away. Randomly I was in Seal Beach and there’s an Isabelle’s Cabinet there too. I decided to give it another chance. It is was a completely different experience. The girls were amazing. Alana and Alex were EXTREMELY helpful. SUCH GREAT GIRLS. Needless to say I did come back and Danica was also Great. I love the Seal Beach girls. Thanks to them I will be a returning customer.

My first time in Seal Beach… I was so enamored by all of the independently owned shops and boutiques! Downtown SB is adorable!
Except for Isabelle’s Cabinet.
The space can’t possibly more than 800 sq ft, I was browsing within ten feet of not one, but TWO sales associates and neither one of them even acknowledged my presence.
I actually saw a couple of necklaces I liked — if the sales crew had been even remotely engaging I probably would have bought one or more.
Nope. Not even a «Hi»
Shame.

Love love love this place. The owner is adorable and hilarious. I could literally buy the whole store. My only complaint is that with a lot of the clothing, it seems that they don’t have all the sizes available. It can also be a bit pricey but seriously don’t let that scare you. There’s many affordable items and the jewelry is AMAZEBALLS.

Cute and hip but yes girls are bothered to have to help you and if you comment they just say «sorry I just work here» my credit was put on a business card just bad business to not give money back! It says we will keep your money because its hard to come by!!!

This is absolutely my favorite boutique. It’s like shopping in my Pinterest closet. Their clothes are always cute and in style and their staff is amazing. The owner of the store is also so kind and together. Her and her staff are always willing to help you out. I absolutely recommend checking it out! Even the prices are reasonable which is hard to find these days!

I wanted to pick up a dress for my girlfriend and the customer service was great! Cool selection of clothing and they helped me put together an outfit when I had almost zero knowledge of what she might like

I cannot help but admire the window displays. Whoever is doing them does a beautiful artful job. I love this small boutique. Some of the clothing looks custom made, with sort of a hip homemade appeal. There are also lots of different types of Toms Shoes,. styles that I have not seen before. Cool party dresses and casual shorts and tops for the beach. Expect hip… laid back atmosphere. I love to browse the very reasonable jewelry section. Lots of fun items to bring outfits to life. Easy to mix and match pieces here. The girls working here are young, energetic and helpful. The prices are extremely reasonable. A little bit of this and a little bit of that.

I was walking past this store for lunch when a dress caught my eye. The young lady was so pleasant in helping me, and I quickly tried on the dress while my guy friend stood outside waiting (he’s truly a keeper!).
The dress fit like a dream, and I was out the door, $ 45 poorer, but happier.
I wish I had time to shop more, but one cute dress made my day, not to mention, my boyfriend loves it on me too!

Oh why are you in Seal Beach?! I love Isabelle’s cabinet, there is a huge selection of clothes that the owner picks out herself, and the prices are definitely reasonable.
The array of clothes is wide-​ranging, and there’s a nice sale section too! From dresses to bottoms to adorable accessories, everything here is super, duper cute!
The boutique itself is really cute too, the arrangement of clothing and the dressing rooms is nicely done. It’s pretty tiny, but you’ll find so much!

small spot that i never find anything at because it gets sooooo hot in there i have to leave!

LOVE this boutique. You know, most boutiques are so disappointing because they have very little clothing and if you look at the price you think «WOAH.ok lets go.» I am sorry but $ 80 for a T-​shirt is just mean, people!
HOWEVER, this place is so not like your stuffy boutiques! The style and quality of clothing picked is amazing, the prices are within reason and there is a lot of selection. They even have TOMS!
There is good selection of everything from tops, bottoms, dresses, purses, jewelry and shoes. Hint: Check the sale rack in the wayyyy back. I got a dress and a top for only $ 35 which was so exciting!
I am all about shopping at small businesses and helping them out, so I am definitely going to come back more to this little gem. :)

I love love love this place. I have been stopping in here since I moved to Seal Beach a year ago. They have fantastic jewelry and headbands which I have worn & received many compliments on. It was my last visit though, that really put me over the edge from like to love. (love love love to be exact).
I am NOT fashionable by any means. Most of my best clothes are in my wardrobe because my wonderful sister buys them for me. I am pretty busy most days, so I had about 30 minutes to shop for a dress to wear to my 10-​year high school reunion. I stopped in the shop, looked around a bit and then decided to just put things in the hands of the awesome owner/​shopkeeper. She picked out a dress for me to try on & also a bitchin’ necklace. They were perfect together & I never would’ve been able to pull it off without her help. I got compliments on the dress all night. All of the clothes in the shop are very cool and really reasonably priced. They also have a good variety of Tom’s shoes which I plan to go back & get as soon as I get a chance!
