The Mall at Chestnut Hill

Upscale shopping in the midst of an upscale community.. In Short
The Mall at Chestnut Hill caters to urban professionals and kids with fat trust funds. Face Stores include the the lone Bloomingdale's in Massachusetts, a positively posh Barneys New York, and an iced-out Shreve, Crump & Lowe. There are also a cadre of chi-chi stores for home decorating and furnishing--Crate & Barrel (with home accessories), Wentworth Gallery, Domain, Scandia Down (luxury linens and comforters) and April Cornell.…

Adult Shopping at Its Best. My recent visit was delightful! The Mall at Chestnut Hill is a mall like no other, small in size with only 65 or so stores and lacking anoying loitering teeanagers. Most of the stores seem to be focused towards home furnishings and women's fashions with very few options for men. Their are four wonderful restaraunts including Bernard's Gourmet Asain Cuisine(ABSOLUTLEY MUST TRY!) Many of the shops are very unique and cannot be found just anywhere (Eileen Fisher, Sigrid Olsen, Barneys New York, Sharper Image, Apple Computer, Cole Haan, Montblanc, Wolford, L'Occitane & Crabtree & Evelynn) Also don't forget to check out Kenzie Kid' I bought 5 yr old daughter a wonderful Burberry raincoat and a Juicy track suit.

The reason no teens - they cant afford it or the clothes aren't for them.

Enjoy a nice stroll throughthe malls gardens before dinner and listen to the wonderful Jazz.…

Cannot Recommend. Most of the stores, especially Bloomies, were over-priced for the quality of products on display. Overall impression was one of an upscale discount store however, without the discount prices or selection. Shreve Crump & Lowe was the only exception, although even that bastion of good taste and quality merchandise seems to be flagging with its altogether obvious attempt to appeal to an ever wider variety of consumer. My advice to SC&L: endeavor to keep your oldest and most loyal customers happy and you will thrive; or otherwise be doomed to "wholesale" mediocrity (pardon the pun). I will continue to do the lion's share of my discretionary spending in London. Bond Street shops have it all, quality, atmosphere, good help, and yes! -- VALUE! If you've really got the shopping bug, it's more than worth the cost of a plane ticket.



Parking wasn't bad.…
