Meraki Market — Attraction in Haddonfield

TLDR: if you're a witch that cares about cultural appropriation--LOOK ELSEWHERE

I love the plants/decor of this place & I get that ya'll want to be inclusive but it seems performative. There are a lot of items such as the buddha heads (colonial history), white sage etc that is disrespectful. As beautiful as this store is, I felt uncomfortable in the store. As I was walking around shopping, I was being watched/stared down by a younger (newer) employee. She didn't smile or anything, just watched me the whole time and it made me feel uncomfortable as there were plenty of other customers but I was the only minority. I will say it was probably unintentional but I still can't shake the feeling. I really see that you guys are making an effort to create the a welcoming space and the 2 older owners/workers have always been kind but it is just not there yet. Having a sign that welcomes all cultures is simply not enough if there is no work to back it up.

edit: I am disappointed that the store owner did not care to apologize, accept accountability, or have any intention of researching/working on the concerns I had. INSTEAD, the owner replied to my review rudely with snarky comments and then dirty deleted it. For this reason, I do not feel comfortable emailing the owner, nor do I accept their insincere apology in their recent response *

In this review, I was sharing my real experience and honest feelings but my feelings were definitely ignored.

I believe all the people who had a wonderful experience in this store, but I also believe the few who experienced snarky comments and rudeness as I...

This boutique is a hidden gem that I am so happy to have discovered. One of my girlfriends recommended them for their plants and home decor and I was beyond impressed with what this boutique had to offer. There are a variety of beautiful plants and planters, along with a ton of different home goods including blankets, bar ware, and kitchen accessories. There are so many beautiful crystals and jewelry pieces as well. Ashlie helped me pick out different plants and planters to pair them with, and even went as far as to pot my new plants for me. She was beyond helpful and had such a good vibe that made it so enjoyable to peruse the shop and admire all they had to offer. I seriously could have spent hours in there. You can tell that the owners really care about the merchandise they sell and curate their pieces from different places, which is really awesome to see. I’m already planning my next trip back there and am so excited to have...

The owner and all the employees are awesome, going above and beyond to create a beautiful, welcoming, ethereal store. While shopping, I immediately noticed the high quality of all their products and it’s obvious everything in there is carefully curated by the owner. I ended up picking up two graphic shirts and one sweatshirt with the coolest art work on them. While checking out, I commented on how much I loved the designs on them and the cashier told me the artwork is done by an artist and made exclusively for Meraki Market so you won’t find anything else like them elsewhere. The location is right in the heart of Haddonfields shopping district, surrounded by great restaurants and other unique shops. But I have to admit, after going in just about every store on that strip, this one was by far...
