my laptop charger was down and i was so much in a loss as i had so many work to do. the first immediate thing i thought of was to dash down to sim lim square as i could not think of any other places that will sell only charger after 6pm.
i went to a shop and asked how much will a charger cost. the guy told me, 'ohhh not worth it. very expensive. about a hundred'
i was shocked and just left the place thinking of getting even a second hand one at a cheaper price. so i found this store and the guy told me a second hand one will cost $60. alright, a desperate person cant be too picky and so i took up the offer.
months later, the charger was spoilt again. it was then, i had time to call up HP service centre to ask how much is an original first hand charger. $60 the customer service officer told me.
nice ambience, polite salesgirl, quite unique clothings but pretty expensive.
the shop is not very noticeable and you have to walk up long staircase to enter the shop. however, the first thing ud notice may be the aromatherapy and soothing environment.
even though the shop itself has 2 storeys, another small 'attic' changing room with some other clothes displayed, its considered rather packed.
lots of their clothes caught my attention but i felt that they were a bit overpriced for the design and quality. i asked the polite salesgirl where did the stock came from and she told me the common places like korea, taiwan, hongkong, thailand etc. which proved my point, slightly overpriced.
nevertheless, it remained one of my fav shop around the area as i bought one of my fav purchase there and i dont think i can find it easily anywhere else. a very unique handmade hairband with some feathers. sounds hilarious but its really nice. but a hairband costed me $50.
honestly id think mono carries quite normal clothings when compared to the more unique ones found in haji lane.
their pricing are also more affordable. it ranges from $10 for a top to $40 for a dress. even though its not as unique as others, i still managed to find some pretty nice ones. but my point is, maybe you can find the exact same dress at some blog shop priced cheaper.
however, their service is quite good. i tried on many different blouses and dresses and the salesgirl did not show any sign of unhappiness. instead, she was very enthusiastic when i made enquiries about other colours etc and she would rush to the store room to bring out the actual piece to show me.
even though they called themselves 'clothes coffeeshop', the 'coffeeshop' section is actually quite small to even notice they were selling beverages.
in all, good service, affordable price but okay clothings.
Had two very different experiences in this boutique shop.
First was when there was a young fella attending the shop. i saw a top which i thought i could buy it as a gift. i raised it up and signal to the young fella n he told me something like that was the last piece. i mistaken him saying that size was the last piece he had, which was on display. so i asked if he have a size bigger and he replied 'which part of me telling you this is the LAST PIECE do you not understand?'
yes, i know the brands they carry are expensive but its not something i couldnt afford. i just left the shop without another word.
Second time was however attended by a middle aged man who is far more friendlier and polite. he served me n my companion with a smile n was rather helpful n not too pushy. in the end, i bought a blouse for myself 4 times the price of the initial top and i bought it without any complains.
I happen to see this site after my friend forwarded the link to me.
I started purchasing some of their items since collection 1.
Unlike most other blog shops, their items are exactly when you see in the pictures in their website. and the price are very reasonable as sometimes they have free belts together with the dresses and such. prices range are only around 20plus, nothing more than that from what I remember.
Even though I was skeptical as the models in the website seems quite tall and who knows the clothes will only look good on them but not me? However I was surprised their cutting seems to suit most girls. and furthermore, im impressed by their quality as they even have underskirts for some of their dresses.
communication and delivery is fast. id say this is a shop i like and will continue shopping there.
