Marios — Local services in Portland

My first visit was a horrible experience. I was looking for a certain cologne and Michael (the short Asian guy) helped me out. He told me that they didn't carry the cologne I was looking for and I asked him about the Creed cologne. As I was looking at the colognes, I was being watched like a hawk. I didn't have any space to look. I sprayed the Creed cologne twice and he flagged me down saying that I sprayed it four times and I shouldn't do that because it's expensive. I asked what his managers name was and he said Kathy. I used to work with a Kathy customizing suits. I asked Michael if she was kind of old and DONNE another employee (white man with the bald spot on his head) POINTS HIS FINGERS IN MY FACE and says it's rude to call people old. It's RUDE to point fingers in people's faces. Then he gives me a death stare like I did something horrible. I was treated very wrong and I felt like they thought I was going to steal or something. I was racially profiled because I'm a young Hispanic man wearing casual clothes and I had my skateboard. Regardless of how someone is dressed, they should be treated with the same service as their "normal" clients. This place needs to work on welcoming people, giving people there space, respect to customers and the most important thing CUSTOMER SERVICE. I would give them a zero star for how I was treated. This place needs a lot work. I was also lied to by “Donne” he told me his name was “Kyle”. He knew he mistreated me so he gave me a false name. Beware for the sharks in there. If you look like you don’t have “money”, you will...

This store is right next door to the the Fox Tower main lobby, which provides access to a lot of businesses and services on its lower levels. Last Friday (10/17), I was at the Pearson Vue Testing Center taking a super exhausting all day test, and decided to stand out front for my lunch break right at the edge of the Marios Window, because a maintenance man was working under the Fox Tower awning on a scissor lift.

First, the security guard working at Marios at the time came over and bothered me, asking me rude and presumptuous questions about my physical and mental state. Offering to "call me an ambulance" in what I assume was an attempt to chase me off like some sort of vagrant, as I stand there quietly eating a snack from my lunch bag out of the way of any doorways. No tent, no trash, no tin foil, no holes in my clothes, and not bothering anybody on the PUBLIC sidewalk.

Then I watched him walk to the other side and harass some other lady taking a phone call on her cellphone, also not a vagrant, also on the PUBLIC sidewalk. All while he has a huge knife strapped to his belt in a sheathe.

I understand the state Portland can be in sometimes, I live here, I understand there is likely an image to protect, and I understand he was trying to do his job, but Marios, please tell your security guard to RELAX. And maybe read the room.

He does not need to be bothering passerby like he is, and he has some work to do to learn how to spot a threat in small and passive metropolitan city, during lunch hour, surrounded by office buildings, on a...

What an incredible experience! I was first skeptical about buying a Canali so cheap questioning the authenticity of the suit. Took a leap of faith and wow!

What a beautiful fabric! I've been looking to add a simply classy black Canali to my wardrobe and had been to most department stores that carry them.

I had my eyes set on a particular model. The designers at Mario's personally assisted me and walked me through the model number ensuring I was buying the right one.

When I received it, I was shocked to discover the fabric was actually softer and richer than then the Calani at Bloomingdale's!

My wife who's into fashion could tell the richness of this particular Canali and couldn't believe what I paid for it! 😉

Overall, the best online experience I've ever had and Michael (designer) even sent me a personal follow up text confirming I was 100% pleased with the purchase.

This will be my new go to spot for designer clothes at discounted prices! Totally worth it! Thank you Mario's for helping me with what has become my favorite go to black suit for all black tie events and upscale...
