How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

I've shopped here for years and the materials age beautifully. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else if I could help it. Thank you Eileen!

If you are by appointment only then you need to update your hours on google. Horrible that people come out to go to your shop and you’re CLOSED!
Good for
- Finding unique jewelry and textiles
- Shoppers looking for independently curated items rather than chain brands
Avoid if
- You prefer spontaneous walk-in shopping without booking an appointment
- You require guaranteed warm customer service
Recent pattern — Newer reviews note that the shop has shifted to an appointment-only model, which requires booking in advance online.
