Turpan

The store has some really nice and unique pieces– however the behavior of the sales staff is insane…
I entered the store quite a couple of times and «every single time» the staff is acting annoyed
if you dare to ask a question about a product.
Please do not expect a smile or welcoming gesture from anybody there!
The store manager has no idea of a classy way to treat her potential costumers–
sad picture of a retail store

I absolutey love this store!!! The staff is amazing and just I had the pleasure of Sydnie and Katie assisting me, lovely young ladies. If you’re looking for a unique gift for that special somone, this is definitely the place to come! I highly recommend it!!!

A beautifully-​curated store run by the friendliest people. Impeccably-​designed housewares, clothes, jewelry, frangrances, furniture, and more… great place to purchase gifts.

nice store for browsing and if your wallet is so inclined, purchasing. Too bad you get the niche items with a ‘tude! I purchased a very pricey bottle of facial oil here, one that is available at some higher end dept stores but I was happy to purchase from an independent retailer and give them my business instead – so I could have done without the snobbery and indifference. Meanwhile a gaggle of bored botoxed-​Housewife types were drawing unnecessary attention to themselves and chatting away with the shopgirl as if they were going to drop a lot of $$ (they bought NOTHING!!) while i perused and barely got a nod from the other 2 women also working but just talking amongst themselves as if the store were empty. I have my lovely oil and even though they carry other hard-​to-​find beauty products that I was also interested in, I will never return.

Nice selection of harder to fine international grooming products, goods and products overall. Found a few interesting things around. Pretty focused selection, but its an interesting space. the layout is minimalist, and it has a weird vibe like I’m in an interior decorator’s office, which was the only bummer. I didn’t exactly get a «retail» vibe from the store, but then again I was kind of in a rush going in and out.

I am a small biz owner who drafted a review of turpan that acknowledged their beautiful products and store floorplan, but criticized the customer service. I’d like to revoke my previous review. The owner, Mr. Turpan himself contacted me and truly wanted to know about my experience. His sincerity is so refreshing and any biz owner who confronts negativity head on gets gold stars from me! I am thoroughly impressed by our conversation and his prompting. I recommend a visit to turpan… I will be heading there very soon:)

I love this store!!!
I drive from Pasadena to pick up all my favorite things.
Great for gifts in all price ranges and when I just want to treat myself to something really special.
friendly knowledgeable staff.

Turpan is the place I go to find wonderful, creative, inspirational items. Greg and Katherine are retail’s best kept secret.

This is a big store that sells very little… fairly minimalist, with a nice/​random selection of high end beauty products, candles, high-​design soup ladles and pepper grinders, Tibetan goats-​hair pillows… etc! One item I love (for stocking stuffers) is a big selection of Japanese toothpaste that comes in 30 flavors (such as Japanese Plum, Chocolate, Seaweed, etc…).
Since I am always on the prowl for new and unusual fragrances, I like that they offer the KEIKO MECHERI line of perfumes, which are hard to find.

The only reason I ever go to the Brentwood Country Mart is to pick up some of those fantabulous gooey chocolate-​in-​the-​middle cookies at the City Bakery. That was the case until I read about Greg Turpan’s West Coast outlet of his high-​concept-​through-​design product retail venue in the Sunday NYT mag.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the ease of purchasing my daily habiliments and sundries and such at chain-​y retail stores (Banana, J. Crew, Bloomies, Williams-​Sonoma, etc) just as much as the next guy; but when it comes to gifts or accessories that I want to keep forever, I prefer tromping around our expansive metropolis searching for that non-​chain diamond in the rough. Well, Turpan is just that.
Offering such varied products ranging from body care products to clothes to kitchen accessories and jewelry, Turpan does so in the minimalist and sophisticated manner that you would expect from someone featured in the beloved but ever-​so pretentious NYT style mag. Fine, most of it is way out of our budgets, and then another portion of the products, while affordable, are just too much money on principle. This is definitely aimed at the Eileen Fisher-​Bea Arthur from the Golden Girls-​tunic wearing set. But it’s worth taking a gander as Turpan carries a satisfying array of affordable kitchen accessories that can double as objets d’art: then you can win the most-​creative-​and-​cool gift giving award… something to which I always aspire…

If Turpan were a magazine it would be Wallpaper, the IHT not US Weekly or InTouch.
For the world weary —
The only place to cop Comme DeGarcons Shirt & Fragrance, Kartell & PRPS jeans without having to drive & park in Barneys BH.
Greg Turpan rocks! He should-​the NY Times gave him 5 pages in T Mag.
