Brandy Melville - Portland — Local services in Tualatin

Ah, Portland’s Brandy Melville — truly the crown jewel of retail civilization. I wandered in expecting a quick pit stop within my shopping experience for a simple white t-shirt and lovely deer, floral, heart shape, skull print bracelet and maybe a questionable pair of socks, but what I found instead was a modern-day coliseum of commerce. As I summoned all my strength to open thy entrance to this world I not only stepped into a clothing store where people only go to get a pair of pants only to fit if their taller than 5’5, a tank top that has kittens on one side a crack baby on the other, or mothers of Russian girls staring you down as you accidentally cut them in line, but a world where all those things live in harmony. The store stretched before me like Roman roads, gleaming with possibility and free stickers. I was awed, enchanted… and then, struck with the most human of needs; I had to pee. Desperately, Panic set in as I remembered the 24oz iced matcha I drank 15 minutes before decided to settle in my system. I spin in helpless circles near the butter yellow tank tops, eyes darting like a hunted animal, when suddenly — a gingham plaid, vintage jewelry, Aritzia wearing guardian angel worker appeared.

With the calm wisdom of a woman who’s seen it all along with that iconic side eye, it was almost. comforting. They placed a firm hand on my shoulder and said, “Follow me, girl.” and follow I did. Past the endless white t-shirts and pants that stretched down farther than the eye could see, past colors that were only on my dreams, and finally to the porcelain sanctuary I so desperately sought. This worker didn’t just show me the way; she led me there. Like Virgil guiding Dante through the wilds of retail inferno. I emerged from the restroom a changed person: lighter, wiser, and full of gratitude. So if you ever find yourself in Portland’s Brandy Melville trying to find your one shirt you saw on Tik Tok or tank tops that won’t even be in the US stores, or perhaps a moment of divine intervention— look no further than the Bridgeport Brandy Melville, and if you see that worker, tell them thank you, they’ll...

August 8th around 3pm: Micro aggressions, probably racist blonde girl w white jacket accused my sister of shoving a tank top up her TANK TOP?? I’ve been here many times before and as a light skin SE asian never had a horrible interaction. Although it’s apparently the workers are all high school mean girls. My younger sister however is on the darker tan side, holding her drink and wearing a thin tank top got accused of stealing. The girl was aggressive and rude staring at a minor’s chest the whole time until I stepped in and asked what was the problem. She immediately tried explaining herself saying a customer saw her “steal” and which I firmly said “no, that’s literally her chest.” The blonde beech then says “oh ok” no eye contact. And walked off with NO apology. Idk if it’s their goal to drive out poc from shopping there but I’ve heard and seen enough of the same interactions and experiences from other people to believe so. Wish I got her name, the next time it happens I will for sure ask for it and not back down because these girls needs to be exposed for poor behavior, micro aggression tendencies, and overall bad manners and...

i am not one to leave a review but these people are truly weird. I was shopping in the store minding my business and the workers start whispering about me and asking me to put my bag outside the dressing room which i did not have a problem with. then they start asking me to count my things after trying on which again i was fine with. i asked if there was a problem and they go back to being judgy and whispering and looking at me like they are still in high school which they probably are but still.. be more original. it got to the point where i had to laugh because it was so stereotypical brandy melville behavior, which by the way to the girl in the camo pants and blonde hair you can’t be ugly and have a horrible personality please choose a struggle. anyways i ask again if there is a problem and if they want to look in my bag which was not abnormally large or anything and they say they can’t so i assume the interaction is done. then the ugly blonde and her ugly friend start turning away and laughing? overall super weird people working here and honestly the...
