I recently purchased a Green cashmere star sweater at Chinti and Parker. Overall, I was very displeased with the service I received. The store was much smaller than I had imagined it would be, and the staff could not do much to help me find what I needed. This is not to say that there were not any nice associates here, but they were very busy and could not give us enough time or attention. This is unfortunate because I expected an overall positive shopping experience at the store. At one point, one attendant was glued to her phone yet I wanted her help. The company care is disgusting. I can't recommend.
