We had a great shopping experience with Suzanne of ZTrend New York. She worked super hard to find us some great deals for our styles. We had a great time hunting for treasure in vintage, thrift, amd second had shops.
Thank you so much! 😊 I'm really happy you had such a great time! It was so much fun hunting for treasures with you and finding those perfect pieces that matched your styles. Thanks again for the kind words — it means a lot. Hope our paths cross again soon for more vintage adventures!
Suzanne was wonderful!! It was such a fun experience. She knows the city very well and takes you to awesome stores. I would highly recommend!
Thank you so much! I'm delighted you had such a fun experience! I really enjoy sharing my favorite stores and city spots with guests. It means a lot to hear you’d highly recommend the tour. Hope to see you again on your next visit to New York! ✨
Had a great time! Suzanne was very attentive to my girls and was flexible to whatever we’d like to do and took her time with us. With 4 teen girls, not an easy task! N
Thank you so much!! Honestly, your four girls were an absolute joy – polite, fun, and with the BEST taste 😂 I had just as much fun as they did! Huge thank you for trusting me with your crew. Already looking forward to the next thrift adventure together! 🖤
Suzanne was amazing! We found all the pieces we wanted and even ventured out to Brooklyn. Highly recommend the tour!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, n_h! 🛍️ I’m happy to know the birthday girls enjoyed their thrift shopping treat in New York City. Such a sweet treat to do with the girls. I had a fabulous time with them as well — both are so polite and sweet. It was fun. You all made my day special too ☺️
My daughter and I had the best time touring the city with our shopping guide, Suzanne! I would recommend this tour for anyone that lives shopping, but particularly a thrift-crazy teen!
Your daughter was fun. I had a great time with both of you. I apologize for leaving late feedback. I hope to shop with you again.
So great! Suzanne’s expertise was valuable - she was able to dial in and focus on what my daughter’s vibe is, and she took us to places it would of taken so much more time to find on our own. She had us try interesting pieces that we may not have tried ourselves, and we came away with some great finds!
I hope to shop with you again!
Suzanne took our children to some fantastic shops that we would never have found without her. Highly recommended if your children like finding a fashion bargain.
Thank you for your review Ian. Your girls were a complete pleasure to shop with. Perfect shopping companions! Enjoy the rest of your travels.
Suzanne was an amazing guide! She put a tremendous amount of effort into finding places that matched my style and budget. While we were at the stores, she made sure that we had the best experience. Suzanne was an amazing shopping buddy!!!
Thanks Terry! It makes me smile to know you enjoyed some fun shopping!
Suzanne was fantastic, not only as a shopping and fashion guide but also company. My twins had a great shopping trip and got so many bargains (as did their mum)! We liked the shops so much we went back to a few for some more deals! It really was a great trip. I can’t recommend Suzanne highly enough!
I'm so happy you and the girls had enjoyed your time shopping with me. Have a beautiful summer and I look forward to shopping with you and the girls on another visit to New York city.
Suzanne talked with my daughter to understand her interests, style and whether she was looking for anything in particular. My 17 year old is pretty picky, but we visited about 6 shops, tried on and bought a few great finds. We also took the subway for the first time - score! Would definitely do this again - maybe when she’s a little older and more interested in quality finds.
Glad your day was a success. I love shopping with the young ladies! They are all so cute and all so different, and of course everything looks good on them! Ahhh, to be young again! Have a fantastic Thanksgiving and I hope to shop with you again!
