Bhody - Clothing store in Carmel-By-The-Sea - Ocean Ave, Monte Verde St, USA

Am not surprised this store permanently closed. It a classic example of someone with no retail background wanting to play store, especially in a competitive market like Carmel. The owner should spend a few years working at a Walmart or Target to get some practical experience.

Sophisticated and cool with unusual, unique, quality merchandise. Several lines are Italy direct exclusives. I went in to purchase their vegetarian make up (no chemicals) and the soy based nail colors but found so much more. There are gift items for everyone with knowledgeable staff to assist.

I found this store by chance on a weekend trip to Carmel. It is located on the walk up from the beach to the shopping area on ocean ave. It was the first store to the area. It is a well decorated corner store. I came in and received a great greeting of a compliment from a young fellow. He complimented my shoes which I was very happy about as they were hand made by a small shop in Italy I visit every summer. We chatted about the clothing and he helped me find one of my favorite ties. I usually only wear Italian made goods but this small artisan tie from New York is stunning. Thank you for helping me find it.

This store is so cute! I love the dresses here. Everything is super flattering. The store has the best employees that totally make you feel super welcomed! I absolutely recommend this store for shopping for jeans and dresses. The dresses are like imported from fancy countries. The jeans feel like straight up Leggings and fit like them!

I discovered Bhody by chance while at a conference. This was the most satisfying shopping experience I've ever had! Since I lost a great deal of weight and had trouble finding my real size and fit. Nick helped me not only to try clothes that would make me happy wearing, but he was also excellent at boosting my self-esteem, and so he did! I bought pieces I can layer in diverse combinations to make unusual outfits. Thank you, Nick; you are awesome, and love every customer who comes through your doors!

I've bought several shirts from here, the quality is exemplary and the European (Italian) fit makes them so stylish! Many of the items are "Made in America", which makes it a great place to browse, I've also bought many family gifts from there for my sons, daughters and grandchildren... They are so helpful.

I went in to this beautiful store today for the first time. The employee Nicolas helped me, with a smile, and enthusiastic attitude. I tried their nail polish selection and it had a lovely variety of colors. Can’t wait to go again! (:

This shop is truly wonderful! The owner has curated great clothing, jewelry, and gift items in this lovely, creatively-designed store. The products are from ecologically responsible sources; women in the developing world; creative local artists! The staff is superb, too: so knowledgeable about everything -- the makers, designers, materials, etc. A must-visit if in Santa Cruz.
