Honeys
Review list of Honeys
I wanted to do bulk buy after a long time and went to HONEYS. Bought 2 plain T-shirts to wear as inner wear, gaucho trousers, tapered trousers and maxi length dress. The T-shirt were in White and Black. I chose the Navy striped gaucho trousers and picked the Charcoal colour for the tapered trousers. The staff was kind and I enjoyed shopping as she talked to me in the good timing when I wanted to try them on. I want to wear the gaucho trousers often until Autumn time as they are easy to coordinate and comfortable. I want to shop there again.
Bought a long sleeved T-shirt and an off the shoulder top. All the shop assistants are young female who look like in there 20's. Basically they stay at the till and rarely go around the shop. Because the fitting rooms are on the right hand side of the till and we can ask for their advice if we want to, but they won't do anything if we don't make a move. I think they don't actively serve customers. The shop is either big or small, more or less same as other shops on the same floor. Because customers take items and then randomly return them to the shelves, they are often messy, therefore the shop looks cluttered. Their target age range is high teens and most customers are higher year group of primary school kids to junior high school students, I often see them coming with their mums. Although I thought that HONEYS was too young for me in my nearly 30's, the standard long sleeved T-shirt range has lace around the neckline and I believe this range is a hidden masterpiece that can be worn by any generations. Sometimes I go to this shop to buy these T-shirts. I saw the off the shoulder top with a sailor collar when I was looking around the shop without any intention after I bought the T-shirt I wanted. I did impulse buy as I wanted a top in marine style. However the design was too young for my age and it was a mistake. I learned that I'd better not to buy items other than the basic clothes at HONEYS.
I was looking for a long dress that can be worn by a pregnant lady. There was a nice item at a sale in the different shop within the same brand, and the staff politely dealt with me when I asked if they could order it for me. Because I was told that it would be difficult to order sale items after all, I tried on the other item. (I didn't buy it as it didn't suit me...) Although I had my kid with me, it was very helpful as the staff treated him well with a smile! There was only one shop assistant when I went in, but it was very easy to go in as the shop wasn't very crowded and the staff was efficiently working. I saw her serving other customers with a lovely smile when she was called.
The shop is on the ground floor within AEON YOKOTE store. I popped in HONEYS to buy a printed T-shirt when I went to AEON. They happened to have maximum 70% off bargain sale. I could save a quite lot of money. The printed T-shirt was at the half price and I bought it straight away. There were various shop assistants and some said 'Can I help?' when customers passed by, but some didn't. I could feel better if they cheerfully say 'Can I help you?'. I was glad that there was my favourite T-shirt.
Bought a pair of Yellow skinny trousers, a White T-shirt and a striped shirt. I hadn't bought any new clothes for myself for about a year since I became a housewife, and I went in to the shop as I was tempted by the word of 'SALE'. Although I was a bit ashamed as I was only looking at the sale items, a shop assistant came to talk to me and I encouraged myself to ask various questions. She chose the skinny trousers in the colour based on my preference for me to coordinate with my own clothes at home. Also she recommended the White T-shirt because it was this year's trend and handy item that could be worn with my own jeans and skirts. I bought it as her suggestion and I could coordinate in 5 different style when I match with the clothes at home. I was very satisfied as the staff kindly served me despite I bought only 3 items and the total amount was less then 5,000yen.
It's easy to shop as there are only female shop assistants. It's also comfortable to people who aren't keen on being served, as the staff just gives us a word at beginning and they don't come unless we call them. They order items from other shop when they don't have them in their stock, and they accept return or exchange up to a few months. It's very helpful. More than anything else, the staff is kind and it's easy to go there often. It's a shop that we can casually pop in because the staff doesn't insistently sell items.
Went to look for a thin Summer shirt. Although I went to HONEY Oimachi shop, they didn't have a thin shirt in pale Yellow that I was looking for. When I went to my local HONEY SEASIDE shop, it was that the darkest place is under the candlestick and I found the shirt there. I was going to the till straight away but I saw a small stain on the collar. It was the only one shirt and I took it to the cashier. The cashier was very nice when I showed it to her, and gave me options that either to order it from other shop or to get discount. Because I wanted to wear soon, I took the discount option. It was good that the stain soon came off after I hand-washed at home. The SEASIDE shop is small but their item line-up is substantial.
The price is also reasonable at HONEYS and it's easy to shop in the Amagasaki shop as the staff's service attitude is nice. The purchased items in this Summer were White sports sandals, T-shirt and a denim shirt. The denim shirt was in a beautiful indigo colour and didn't look cheap. It's very useful as I can wear it by wrapping around the waist or shoulders. I couldn't decide the colour on the T-shirt straight away as there were many colour variations. It was easy to shop at my own pace as the staff wasn't too pushy but talked to me in a good timing when I wanted to know the size. The price was reasonable anyway and I want to go to buy massive amount of clothes near Autumn time.
The shop is towards the back. It's next to the kimono shop. There are often shoes in front of the shop, sale items are evenly in the middle and towards the back. The staff often talk to customers as the shop is small, but it's nice as they talk to us friendly and give us coordination ideas. Because there are many fitting rooms, we can go in straight away. There are also small amount of lucky bags at the beginning of each year. It's possible to purchase after peeking inside the bags depending on how busy it is.
I look at the sale section as if that's treasure hunt as the sale section is always there and its items are half price. We can leave the shop without feeling guilty even if we don't buy anything as the price is reasonable and it has a welcoming atmosphere. I personally feel that the shop implies Yellow. I'm glad that the shop assistants are easy to talk to when I want the items in different sizes as they politely serve and answer the question with smiles. However, I feel it might be difficult to find the items you want. There are many items on hangers and it takes us long to go them through one by one but I think the quality of the cardigan I bought before was good.
