Rita's Rags

I went in the store with my 7 month old (in a stroller). As I entered and started browsing, the lady behind the counter asked me to leave my baby in the front part of the store (ALONE) and not go in the rear, so I don't leave marks on their old gray laminate floor (which she called white). I stood in shock and disbelief for a minute and then got upset. Needless to say I went in the rear, as her and another lady behind the counter gave me nasty looks the entire time and whispered. I gave it a minute and left ; I made sure to point out no marks were left on her cheap floor, which if they actually cleaned, wouldn't be an issue. I get rude..but I CANNOT believe that in this day and age this out-of-touch, snobby and elitist behavior still exists.

I find fabulous gifts for my wife every time I visit this lovely little gem of a store on Montana Ave ... a wonderful shop local experience !!!

This store has character, style and a great editor. The jewelry and accessories are incredible and the brands are carefully selected with the kinds of clothes you want to wear ALL the time. Cotton, cashmere and easy LA luxe. This is a gem if ever there was one! Thanks Lyssa for your taste level and for making it so fun to shop!

I went in here while waiting for my table at the courtyard kitchen. The lady working the counter was extremely rude. The store looks like it is falling apart and the clothes were nothing special. With so many other clothing stores on Montana, I can easy say I will never return. update: just received a totally unprofessional and rude message from an employee and shocker it was the one that was working the counter the day i went in. i can't believe that any business would allow this. horrible.

The owner has a great collection of the basic necessities of life; jeans (cool but not too trendy brands like Red Engine and Sanctuary are her mains but she has more); cashmere sweaters(White & Warren and Line among others); Super soft t-shirts (Splendid, Rebecca Beeson; cool small lines too); and Jewelry. The jewelry is really great! She has local designers, vintage pieces, high karat gold from India, Stormy bracelets, and Wendy Walker and she adds more all the time! She has a really eclectic selection, decent price points and is great at helping her regulars put together outfits. She's got the westside luxe-casual thing down, but if you're looking for edgy or super trendy, maybe not. Her prices are good but don't expect sales very often as she sells staples. The store is a little small, and the bubbly owner isn't always there. Open 10-5 m-s and 12-5 sun.

Finally took everyone's advice and checked this place out ! Hands down my new favorite store in Santa Monica! Clothing and jewelry were to die for and the women working were super helpful and lovely to chat with. Such a gem! I'll definitely be back and taking everyone I know with me!

Excellent selection of clothes; things I wear every day--all in one store. (Love that!) Silky camis, comfy cashmere, and luxurious cotton; perfect for a chic, yet casual, sexy vibe. The owner and staff are very helpful--they helped me put together a few holiday gifts for family and mixed and matched a cool outfit for me.

My most favorite shop, this place is one of a kind: bright, happy, & elegant. The music playing makes me feel like I'm on holiday. I always leave here inspired, and with the best stuff!!!

The cutest boutique in all of Santa Monica!! Love going here for cozy cashmere and for all gifts. The jewelry is AMAZING!!
