The man with specs was forcing me to buy a shirt. Baited me to buy on the spot with a discount. I asked him how much the discount is and he mention he will only share the price if I'm actually going to make the purchase. I rejected his offer and he still say "you don't want to buy even with a discount?" Not a pleasant experience, can't even browse the clothes without the intention of buying

I got recommended by one of my friend. He saw it online and the merchandise looks great. So i went there to get a feel of the fabrics, probably get one item if any interest and tried to snap few photos and guess what the staff wearing glasses with a beard refrain me taking photos, he sarcastically said you can see it on online actually. Firstly, i came here for a purpose, to get a feel of the product and snap few shots for my friend who recommended me at this place. Moving on, my friend tried few of their rings which to me it's nothing nice, as soon as we wanted to leave my friend thanked him for his time to served us but guess what, that particular bearded wearing glasses staff ignore him. Well i didnt thanked him at all due to his arrogant and unprofessional sarcastic service. Will never come back here again.

Inconsistent with their pricing. I was charged more when purchased at Boutique Fair, now there is so much discount going on? It’s unethical. No wonder they are closing down, unethical practice. Oh wait, they have closed down. For those who are thinking about buying from them, please reconsider and support other local brands. Literally ridiculous and unprofessional services in store and online, they literally look at you as though annoyed you stepped into the store, you’re a business aren’t you? Why are you annoyed when there are potential customers? Don’t even bother making rapport. Not worth the $. No customer recovery too when cheated customers, no offence even if it’s handmade you can find better brands that do connect with you. Don’t bother running a business please, keep the “handmade” to yourself if people can’t even touch or see them physically. Ridiculous And please don’t create fake accounts for people just to up your ratings lah, rubbish.

"Our pieces are handmade. If you want Zara prices then go to Zara." - Chota House sales personnel. Snobbish service staff criticised by budget when I simply said "I wish this piece was slightly cheaper". I wasn't looking for a further discount. I was simply saying it is out of my budget. I thought it would be worth checking out the sales and getting a feel of the pieces, but I was wrong. The pushy salesman was not very diplomatic or helpful at all. He was visibly irritated when we decided not to buy anything. We might have stayed a little longer and thoroughly considered buying something if the staff was not so overbearing. Not a fun experience. Would not come back.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Disgusting customer service. Was treated with BLACK FACE and appalling attitude when I tried on and find that it doesn't fit me. Eh, you know how to run business or not? Srsly, treat your customers with respect first can? My coin is too good for this shop. Highly NOT recommended. yucks.

had a great experience shopping at CHOTA House! I chatted with their customer service before buying, and they were super friendly and helpful. CHOTA House has been around since 2009, and you can really tell the owner puts a lot of heart into the brand-hard to find designer shops like this in Singapore now. Love what I bought and will definitely be back!

Alright, after my experience today at Chota House, I've got a story to tell. When I first entered the store, the guy in "glasses" whom everyone is referring to in their reviews, is actually the designer/store manager. I could tell from his flair that he is an artist. But that's the thing with artists; they're very misunderstood. He was so happy when I was willing to try on many pieces of his clothes as we spoke about the fashion scene here and many other topics. Yet at the same time, he was trying to push items that were not exactly my size, telling me that the sizes are not exactly correctly labelled. Look, it couldn't be that an XS pair of pants and another in XL would be the same size at the waist, no matter how different the design. I appreciate the effort he took to reposition the side buttons on the spot, to tighten the XL piece at the waist for me to try it again. But when I decided not to purchase it as it looked too scrunched up at the waist, he looked really disappointed but there was no way I would buy an XL pair of pants at $299 when I usually wear M/L. There was another issue which I found common in the reviews here. There was no price tag on the items and whatever prices he quoted for each piece was around 20% higher than the default prices listed on their official webpage. No business can do that and still expect their paying customers to accept it. And then, I recalled this incident with my floral artist friend (R) and another friend (E). R advertised on his instagram that he was selling a valentine's day bouquet for $88 but when E wanted to support him a friend, R wanted to charge $108 instead. E got angry and decided not to buy from R. E did not need a discount to support R but couldn't understand why R would charge him higher either. None of us did, lol. Maybe he wanted to throw in something extra or special on top of the original deal, who knows? Thing is, I've worked directly with some artists before and all I can say that is that they are not in touch with certain standards in the real world and are very wrapped in their own mindset and unique worlds. They are just too focused on their craft that they seemed to be totally detached from other aspects in life. Dude from Chota House probably was trying to make up for the rent from having his store in town area but that really shouldn't be propagated to the brand's supporters. Would I support the brand? Yes, I definitely would purchase a piece in time to come but I would just purchase it online. Kinda makes the physical store redundant if they don't fix this pricing issue. To end off, I would say that this local brand is amazing in terms of their design and quality (coming from someone who has bought many different styles of apparel from many brands), and I would definitely want to wear their unique pieces. It's just my 2 cents on what the store can do better in terms of proper pricing & customer service, and also to give people a perspective into how some artists may behave in a peculiar manner that some may find offensive. But that's just how they are and they probably don't realise it or think of it as "bad" to other people to begin with. Don't take it too personally and it's all good as they just want people to like their craft! Cheers for reading this far!

i had the best experience shopping at chota house with my boyfriend, i believe it was the owner who served us, really friendly and helpful for helping my boyfriend to try on pieces that he think suits him well, really patient while we were considering which item to buy after trying so many of them. and also gave us a bag as a free gift that is greatly appreciated by us 🫶🫶🫶🫶 highly reccomend everyone to check this place out.

Great, quality products that are handmade and rare. Rare meaning if you don't buy it and come back another day, it might be gone and you might have to wait some time for it. My 2-cents: Best to come during off-peak period so that you don't have to queue so long!

had the pleasure to be assisted by one of your staff - Jawa. She gave me valuable insight in choosing between different sizes and types of overalls even though they weren’t displayed. Very friendly and approachable and made my overall shopping experience fruitful (no pun intended)
