Review from Sarah T.

Sometimes I try to be more eco-friendly. I really try hard. This store helps. Although it is quite expensive, I think they have a good range of quality products. I love their organic bamboo towels. So amazingly soft, and get softer with each wash. They have a lot of good theraputic, cosmetic products too to choose from. It's really not the type of place I ever went into, until I needed a break from jogging one day. Really glad I did. The store staff are always extremely friendly, and I do enjoy the paperless receipts as well. I'm going to save my pennies and buy a set of their organic bedding.

This store is worth a visit by any eco-concious soul because its product line is so well-rounded and tastefully selected that it is a treat even just to browse!
The store is divided up inside in a clever manner so that each area - clothing, housewares, beauty product, bedding, children's items and home hardware - has an intimate feel that invites you to slow down and truly look closely.
A great highlight is a full range of eco-friendly paints, flooring, and countertop options! I like that they offer a selection of generously sized 8'' x 10'' paint chip samples of one of the paint brands.
You get what you pay for in an eco-friendly world so all prices are reflective of their quality, but a deal can still be found at Riva's. Sometimes they will have a sale table near the entrance that is worth browsing too.
Finally, they have a paperless receipt system which emails your receipt to you - why don't more stores do this? -

I stumbled in to Rita's on a yelp photo crawl,to take a few pictures inside the store. The lady was very accommodating and went and got the manager to see if I was to be permitted to take photos in the store. He came out and said "so whats this for?" i said "uh for yelp sir, for your business listing where people review your store!" he replied "cool, yeah thats fine!" so off I went to take pics, as I took pictures I was quite impressed with the array of goods that they sell here. Make up, Paint, flooring, hygiene stuff ect! It is quite a unique and cool!
As I walked through the store I realized that having a chai latte while trying to take photos was going to be a problem so I asked the lady if they had a coffee thermos, "oh yes over here! " "PERFECT!" I got the thermos and off I went strutting my way through inglewood.
From what I experienced, very good! I will be back to check it out some more!
