My daughter and I were on the East Coast for a family event but were looking for a distraction. We decided to sign up and go with Suzanne Lenora for her Le Petite' Pt 1 - Vintage and Second-Hand Shopping Day. We enjoyed ourselves. My daughter got some fabulous bargains. The group with Suzanne was only 8 people. She was a wonderful guide.

Wow, I shopped with Suzanne while on a girls trip and from start to finish she was so kind, focused, and helped us hunt for tasteful selections at amazing prices! She offered her advice and told us whether items were genuine, etc. We went to 4 different locations and each one was a treasure. During one of the stops I managed to lose my glove. It was very cold out so I ended up buying another pair. I honestly wasn’t worried about the glove, they were cheap. But Suzanne later went back to the store where she thought I lost it, dug through one of the bins I was looking in and FOUND MY GLOVE! And then because we were not able to connect on that trip again, she MAILED it to my home. I just received her heartfelt package today. I mean seriously. Who does that!? She is amazing you guys! But not just because of how kind she is...I found a real rabbit fur hat, Vince Camino shoulder bag, 2 cashmere sweaters, a vintage belt with genuine brass buckle, and many other amazing items for $300 total. I would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to come to NYC to find bargain fashion!!! We would have never found the places she took us to. It would have taken us forever to find something decent and would have paid retail. I’ll never do that again. I can’t wait to take my daughter back here to do this with her. She would LOVE IT! Thank you so much Suzanne! I will be back!

Thank you for the lovely TripAdvisor review! So few people leave them.... you don't know how much I appreciate your time and thought to write such a beautiful review. I had such a great time with everyone. Who knows, perhaps you and the girls will shop with me on your next trip to New York City. By-the-way...that glove traveled the city with me for almost two weeks in my bag. I couldn't get to the post office. It was the craziest thing, Enjoy the beautiful weather, now that spring has arrived. New York has been in the high 40s. I'm absolutely loving it!
