I went to the Alley a couple of years ago with my best friend . We had a blast! We got a lot of really good bargins and met a lot of people from other places. I have been telling everyone I can about my experience. I can't wait to go back! Yes, I would say that the trip was absolutely worth the money. We received a lot of value in the items ...

From what I had been told, I thought Santee Ally would be a place for new designers and fabric manufacturers to sell their wares. At best it was a clothing swapmeet. The clothes being sold were all more approporate for the club scene or the corner of Hollywood & Vine than for day to day. Everything was very trendy, which can be a good thing, ...

I love it, to much to see, so little time. If you can e-mail me of a place around alley cool. LV stuff. grizzlybear@inbox.com

Santee Aleey not only has handbags, but shoes, clothing and 2 stores just for pets. I'm from NY and I look foward to going there when I'm in California.

I love Santee Alley I never waist time or money in dept stores, anything you want they have and for less a lot less, if you ask they will get it for you if you don't look like a okley or lv cop. every sat between 7 am and 11 off the alley the clothing stores have killer deals no tax.. lots of cool knock offs..i love it so much! just watch out lots of pick pockets..

I had high hope as i read all of the people reviews. However it was a different stoty once i got to the alley. Out of all of the stores only ONE had Ed Hardy. ...

I went here a little apprehensively because I had heard a lot of people complain about the crowds, noise, lack of English speakers, etc. But, I am so glad I went! My boyfriend and I did some of our Christmas shopping there this last December and I couldn't help buying myself Chanel, Gucci, and Coach handbags, as well as knock-off Chanel ...

Was concerned about the potential of pick-pockets and kept an eye on the kids. The value of the products is definately drawing me back and this time I am shopping for multiple people. Getting paid to shop and spend other's money----that's nice!

Santee Alley is like going to a bazaar - lots of vendors, shops and people hawking and buying everything from inexpensive knock-offs to factory direct clothing. Go to Santee Alley if you are a real shopper who can discriminate between well made goods and junk. Yes, many of the "designer labels" are fake, but there is a lot of quality to ...
