White House Black Market - Shop CA (Near San Mateo)

Adam Kronowski The hands down number one clothing store in LA. Every time I walk in to browse, I always wind up leaving with at least one new piece. On top of that, the staff is amazing, always having a deep knowledge of everything in the store and the fashion scene as a whole. Can’t recommend enough, from photoshoot fits to casual dinner vibes, this place has the absolute best.

Debra Carlson Wood I went to the store as a walk in on Sunday March 2, 2025. I had just left a competitors store in Brentwood where I had had the WORST shopping experience of my life. ( and I had booked an appointment long in advance) . Here I was a walk in and was warmly greeted by Susan. I needed a gorgeous, well fitting suit for an important meeting and am from out of the country . I needed a high quality, well fitting suit quickly. ( several days, but still only days). Susan assessed my height, bone structure, skin tones, and weight rapidly. Filled a fitting room with possibilities and moved at top speeds to remove the not select items, bring different options, and gave HONEST opinions on fit, look, colors, etc. I walked out buying more than I had intended. By the end of the 1- 2 hours we worked together, I felt like I had a new friend and personal shopper. She had the clothes steamed for me so I didnt have to working about wrinkles for my meeting and finding an iron , etc. at my hotel. I cannot recommend her enough or sing her praises loud enough. I must say I have never had a bad Talbots experience ( shopped at them in Illinois, MN, CA) for years until I became an expat. Why I thought I could do better at "higher end, very trendy " much, much more expensive line is now beyond my comprehension.

Geoffrey Pratt 5 stars for selection, especially for shoes. I wear a size 15 wide and it is impossible to find shoes. The clothing prices were a bit on the high side. I went down the street and got 2 pairs of shorts, 4 shirts and undies for less than a pair of shorts at this store, but Im poor so.... But the staff was really nice. The lady that runs the place was really helpful. So was the big guy working the counter. Like I said, Ill definitely be back for some shoes and maybe even a suit. Nice Hawaiian shirt selection too.

Morgan S Camila was very nice and remembered me from my last visit as well!

Lila Schnell Nice store. Close to parking spot. Not to busy. Good selection of handbags and accessories.

Luke Wahl I remember when these stores were stuffed into junky malls and added to an even trashier vibe, obnoxious edm, half naked staff spreading out front during Christmas, and hilariously vulgar posters lined across tall gray walls with white thick frames. Abercrombie my you have grown up, found a relaxed and casual fashion buffet ripe for the appetite. My buddy and I both enjoyed the huge womens selection. He got a birthday gift for his wife. Didnt take me near as long to browse the lesser end of the store but to all surprise and chances, after a year of looking for that denim jacket that doesnt scream cowboy or cost as much as a leather bomber, the magic! I brought a forty buck blue cotton jean jacket back 1600 miles and still feeling good about that wildly long wait for a simple wear paid off more than I could imagine in California. The staff is so fun here. They lined up both up with simple mobile payments options without a tacky screen. I bet theyll be walking around next just handing us checkout taps as we wonder the store. Its still that smart A&F, modern, crisp, and somehow also old school and timeless.
