“This jacket is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever bought in my life, plus it actually keeps me warm. Je ne regrette rien.”

“I bought the shoes at the Salvation Army with a missing toe medallion and contacted the company about buying a replacement medallion, which turned into them just replacing the shoes altogether for free — an act of outstanding customer service I am still in awe of. Apparently that’s why you buy $225 flats instead of just going with the $17.99 Payless option.”
