Journelle
125 Mercer St, New York, NY 10012
Our take
EditorialJournelle's Mercer Street SoHo location is the chain's downtown Manhattan boutique (separate from the Union Square store at id=116 in this directory). Recent reviews lean on a named associate for warm, alteration-friendly fitting service that brings customers back. The friction worth knowing: a longtime loyal customer reports a measurement visit on May 20th went unprofessionally, she felt the experience left her with serious doubts about returning; an online buyer reports following return guidelines closely but never receiving a refund; a separate customer reports being blamed for a shipping-service-lost parcel during COVID with no refund or credit offered for $100+; the in-store return policy reportedly prohibits returns or exchanges on tried-on items (a particularly inflexible posture for lingerie); and a bilingual customer reports a recent associate refused an exchange on hygiene grounds. Best for SoHo shoppers who can absorb the strict return posture, and worth being clear that in-store-tried-on items are non-returnable before purchase.
