Free People

We were invisible.
One of the main reasons we took the day to shop was for Kate Spade on 5^th and Free People. Kate Spade was amazing, wish I could say the same for Free People.
It felt as though we were interrupting a private Free People Staff Party. With all the high-​fiving going on between the girls who worked there and their conversations about how hot it was in the store (yesterday was 80), and why the air wasn’t on, we were forced to politely interrupt their conversation to ask for assistance with trying a shoe on.
This place felt more like a girls runway party rather than a store focused on the customer experience.
Thumbs down.

This Free People is the biggest one I have ever seen. The staff is incredibly helpful at this location and so friendly. They weren’t pushy at all, which I love. The quality of things here is really great, which is why I ended up going for this super sexy slip dress that I can’t wait to wear out.

My favorite shop is now a two level at the Rockefeller Center in NYC. I guess it’s been that long since I’ve visited this part of city. When the heck did they open?! Very dangerous and deadly to my wallet especially since their older sister store, Anthropologie is just right across the street :) The sales associates were all very helpful and friendly. Store was clean and boho chic. This location seemed to have most everything on their online site on deck. More variety and shoes available here as well.

This is the best Free People location in the city.
Its HUGE, they have Home, Shoes, Sale, Movement, Intimates, and all other departments available.
The salespeople are super friendly and nice, and its actually usually not crowded (I think because most tourists aren’t interested in free people… Look for bouchon bakery, its right next door).

J’adore Free People, enfin presque !
J’aime le style bohème-​chic de leurs vêtements, les couleurs, et qu’ils aillent sur certains articles jusqu’au XL (⁴⁶⁄₄₈), c’est entre la moyenne /​haut de gamme niveau prix mais malheureusement je trouve que la qualité né suit pas toujours et c’est dommage !
Les prix sont parfois disproportionnés.
J’avais acheté par exemple une robe toute simple en coton cet été (au BHV) et elle n’a pas fini l’été alors que je me suis offert un grand gilet en laine pour le même prix que cette robe…
Pour les tailles, il né faut pas hésiter à essayer, parfois le L me va (alors que je fais du 48) alors qu’il correspond d’autres fois à un 42 français. Ils commencent au XS donc presque toutes les silhouettes peuvent y trouver leur bonheur.

This location definitely has the best selection of inventory — especially if you are looking for one of their special edition dresses that you can usually only find online. Sales associates are also very friendly.

This is my favorite Free People location in NYC. It has a nice selection of shoes and accessories. The layout is also really great and spacious, it doesn’t feel like the other locations where you are bombarded with amazing clothes everywhere you turn! The associates are super friendly at this location, at the other locations customer service is a huge miss. They also let me exchange a necklace after I had taken and thrown out the tag (which is not part of their return policy.)

The associates were very helpful. One woman checked to see if an item that I was eyeing online was in stock, another lady ordered it for me from the website. I was assisted every step of the way in the dressing room. She even started a room for me while I was still shopping. The atmosphere is just very lax and comforting. I didn’t feel rushed or even like someone was spying on me ready to pop out of the couch or something. I love the set up of the store. Just be careful purchasing things that can be purchased elsewhere for better pricing. I come here for original pieces. If I want a slip, I’ll go somewhere else. I use a cami dress purchased for $ 9 from eBay under their sheer/​lace pieces.

Visited this store twice during my five day NYC vacay. We got to the Top of the Rock ticket machine around 2pm and got tickets for 5:45pm…and so we spent a good two hours at Free People. Everything in there is cute.
This location is bigger than the one in SoHo. They have shoes here. And they also have a hanging extension cord under the stairs to recharge your iPhones. Hope you brought your USB cables and adaptors with you.

This store is on the small side and the clothes are scattered everywhere. I think the flatiron store has more selection. There is a sales rack on the second floor with some hit or miss items. The clothes are really overpriced for what they are.

I heard this was one of their better stores in the city. Located down the street from Rockefeller Center. We walked into the the most chic and well stocked Free People Store. Some interior decorator did an awesome job on the design and seasonal flair.
The selection was large and upscale casual but so freakin adorable! It was hard not to fall in love with so many of their clothes and boots. Best selection I have seen in any of their stores or stores carrying their merchandise. Too cute everything!!! I noticed they had a full range of their sizes in stock also. I wanted like 5 pairs of their boots alone.
Just too cute! Great place to spoil yourself ladies! The sales associates are so pleasant but not pushy. If you like Free People clothes you’ll absolutely love this store.

I love this store. Yes, the clothes and accessories are just too cute — but more importantly, the women who work here are charming, stylish, friendly and give me honest feedback and excellent tips when I ask how I look in whatever I try on. I can’t recommend shopping here enough — it’s a great experience.
Side note: The dressing rooms are a treat to use, complete with floor murals and embroidered curtains.

Large selection, nice sales associates, and cute decorations!

a-​ok

I’m a big fan of Free People clothing and had a good experience in this store however I felt like everything was a bit scattered. Perhaps because it’s a larger store than others. I ended up buying something, of course, and was greeted with great service at the register although not much assistance was offered on the floor but I think the staff was busy trying to put the store back in order from the long day.
Overall, I’m glad I stepped in but would much rather shop online as I usually do. :)
Oh and to note, there is only street parking just like every other store else in Manhattan.

I absolutely adore the clothing at Free People, but of course, their clothing is ridiculously expensive (but to me, totally worth it). I was more than happy when I heard that they were opening a new Free People location in Rock Plaza as there are no FP stores in the Midtown area. For folks who work in Midtown, it’s a huge plus to have accessibility to this store. The only other location I am aware of is in the SoHo area. I usually buy the FP clothing online, however, and I think I will continue to do so. For one, the store itself is nice, but it is quite small and the layout needs some more thought put into it. The store itself just lacks a sense of organization. I came here one day to exchange the size of a pair of jeans that I got online, and I was hoping that the store would carry it. I ask the sales lady, who was friendly and approachable, that I was looking for this particular jean in the short length. She told me that they don’t carry the different length jeans and only the regular. They barely had enough sizing as is; there were mostly the larger sizes or the really small sizes. I was more than disappointed about this though. The selection in this store is far less inferior than to what you’ll find online. All in all, this is a decent FP store to visit if you just want to browse the sales rack or aren’t looking for anything in particular.

I love Free People clothes and have been wearing them for years. Wondering around Rock Center before a Broadway show, I saw the unmistakeable colorful over-​sized sweaters and scarves that defines the brand in the window display. Within seconds, I am in the fitting room (upstairs) trying out different piece. The store was completely empty for a Friday night and the space is huge! The staff was so helpful and friendly. I was also surprised to find there was no previous Unilocal reviews of this store, maybe its new, but come check it out! Much fuller collection than you will find at Bloomies!
