Desigual (women's clothes) Sixth Avenue Midtown

Midtown is so FULL of stores that cater to women and has so relatively few for men

Maybe I can find a place that is more male oriented here somewhere

Oh yes, women like this place...I would say given how critical Yelper's can be, this place gets pretty good reviews, definitely

    My friend is a big Desigual fan, so we swung in while we had a few hours to kill before catching a train at Penn. The staff were very polite and friendly (particularly a tan skinned asian woman with cute glasses who showed my friend a few pieces to try on- sorry I didn't catch your name!) and they were kind enough to keep our bags behind the counter for us while we looked around so we could do so unencumbered. Neither of us fell in love with anything we saw there, as we're both very picky and this particular location is quite small and has limited stock, but I would still recommend it for the service and atmosphere if you like the brand. I also saw that they did deliveries within Manhattan for as little as $9, which sounds like a good deal if you're buying a lot of items. My one suggestion for them to improve would be to turn down the music a little- we had to talk very loudly to hear ourselves over it, and it's not necessary for the music to be so loud in order to create a hip atmosphere.

    I had a pleasant experience at this location. The people working there were very helpful. The changing rooms were well-lit. I loved their gorgeous clothes, which honestly are very much worth the price (due to unique designs and quality).

    I found that the style really caters to skinny girls with flat stomachs. I'm by no means fat, but I'm also not model-thin so all the dresses I tried on looked a little... off. The clothing is super trendy, and definitely looks better in-person than online, but I can't say I left the store with any purchases. I'll definitely be back again though, maybe I'll find something else.

    Got a great dress here on sale for 77 percent off!!! That's nice because the stuff seems a little overpriced anyway, but I am just a fashion-challenged tourist, so who knows what things cost in Manhattan?

    Really cute, colorful clothes.  Good quality, great staff.  Not every style fits every body.  You have to try a few things on to find the one that is right for you.

    This remains my favorite shop to visit when I am in New York.  Probably because it's a Spanish store with only a few outlets in the US.  The only east coast outlets are in Manhattan and a (shhhh, don't tell anyone) outlet store in (someplace called) Bergen, NJ.

    I am a little embarrassed that one of the other US outlets is at the Mall of America, and another one is in Dallas.  But they've got shops in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and San Francisco.  Plus three in Miami and one in the DR!!  So, yeah, they're cool.

    Good selection of Desigual clothing considering the small store.  Great colors and good quality.

    This store is right by the hotel that we were staying at and I just love the flamboyant colors. The staff are very ecclectic and thoroughly enjoy their jobs. They are very trendy and its a great place to go to find one signature piece. I found a very nice T-shirt on sale for $40. I will definitely visit them again on my next trip.

    The clothing is a "unique" riot of color and pattern. If this is your thing, then this is your store.

    The clothing is decently made, expensive and oddly shaped (for my figure, at least).

    The staff is nice, if a bit indifferent. Though I'd take indifference any day over the Hovering Salesperson who absolutely needs to show you every single new piece in the Spring 2011 collection.

    This review is not about fabric, style or price, Desigual range is there to see, to buy (on-line too, I think), to like or to hate.

    The point here is that here I've had one of the best shopping experiences EVER. The staff wad friendly, knowledgeable, smart and sales-savvy (if I made the word up, you got what I meant), even the security guy smiled and was articulated about greeting me in and out (and it was 30' before closing time). I was helped by Jamie and I was blown away by her incredible professionally. Next time I'm looking around for a treat for my wardrobe, this store will be at the top of the list.

    Love all the colors in the clothing. Such a great selection of fun designs and trendy cuts. Staff is helpful and store layout is easy locate sizes.

    I like clothes with bright colors and interesting patterns, but not five or six of these different, colorful patterns put into one article of clothing. Desigual's clothes and accessories are just that. The colors and patterns are fun, but there is just too much mixed together, that it's a little ridiculous, and at times, childish.

    The security guard actually greeted me, which rarely happens. The workers were friendly and made it clear that they would be more than happy to help, but Desigual is just not for me.

    My favorite part of Desigual is the mural they have on the outside of the building. It's colorful and pretty!

    ok I must admit - I was sucked in with the free tote.

    Colors are great as are designs.  My only complaint is that there's not much there.  If I had to guess, there were:

    10 styles of dresses
    10 shirts
    1 pair of pants
    20 handbags/wallets etc.

    I would have purchased if they had more of a selection :(

    I've been shopping here since it opened and OH MY GOD I LOOOVE THIS STORE! The clothes are SO beautiful and EXCELLENTLY made. Half my wardrobe are clothes from this store. I always get compliments on the pieces I wear from Desigual, be it a bag or one of their stunning coats! :D

    I have their store card and save a good deal since I shop there often, and with it, you even get freebies( like stylish over- the- ear headphones) and invites to special events at the stores ( they are ALWAYS having parties :) )

    I highly recommend to all you fashionistas out there. Don't come in broke though, it's pricey BUT SOOO WORTH IT!

    :D Happy shopping!

    Beautiful original designs with out of budget price. There were a couple of items on "sale", still not worth the price for Ed Hardy look-alikes

    Not for me. It reminded me a little of Custo Barcelona except not as cool or nice. Just too over the top in color mixes. No cool designs or patterns. Prices seemed high for the quality.
