“Luxury? More like elitism.”
I walked into Marissa Collections in Palm Beach with a girlfriend, excited to shop. Instead of being welcomed, we were shadowed upstairs by a sales associate who never greeted us and simply watched. We left for lunch planning to return and purchase dresses.
When we came back, the contrast was hard to ignore: another customer walked in after us and was immediately greeted, offered champagne, and given attentive service—while we were treated as invisible. The message was loud and clear: if you don’t “look the part,” you don’t matter here.

Her professional credentials are what sold us on her services. The piercing studio was very clean and comfortable.
