The t-shirts are nice enough but I'm not accustomed to having to line dry t-shirts because they can't go in the dryer - weird. The more annoying thing, though, were the two girls working at the store. I got to hear all sorts of co-worker gossip during my 45 minutes or so in the store so I know they're good at chatting. But nobody ever offered to assist me or even acknowledged my presence. I was disappointed to see that change.

I heard about this place when living in Chicago, and after purging my closet last week, I figured…read moreI'd try to get some cash before donating the rest to Goodwill. My selling experience was generally positive - the staff clearly explained the buying/selling process and invited me to browse the store while they went through my items. Of course they want me to browse the store. If they're going to give me money, they want me to spend it in their store. Truth be told, I love secondhand stores and would've gladly bought some clothes if I'd found anything I wanted. First, there were far fewer clothes for men than for women (a point they note on their website to encourage men to donate). Second, the people who've been donating to this particular store clearly are college undergrads: half of the clothes are from American Eagle, and there are strong showings from Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister. Third, the men's jeans are generally outdated. Granted, I only looked in my sizes - there may be some stuff that I would wear in the wrong size. After 10 minutes or so, my clothes had been checked out. They accepted 4 items - 2 shirts and 2 pairs of Express Jeans - and said the rest of the clothes were too old. Incidentally, they kept the oldest item I brought (a dress shirt from Benneton), but I'm guessing they liked the label. In all, I don't completely understand what mystical process the staff uses to determine what to keep and what to give back, but I'm happy to take away a few dollars on clothes that I had just planned on giving away.

This is a really fun place and while it is a boutique, so it is not cheap, the prices are fairly reasonable compared to other equivalent businesses. This is a place we visit each time we are in E.L.

When we walked in, an employee greeted us and gave us an overview of where everything is located in the store, which is such a simple gesture but truly added to our customer experience. I've seen and bought many MSU related items in my life but this store had a lot of things I'd never seen before. They had everything from tons of apparel to accessories, home goods, items to use for entertaining, art, all sorts of trinkets and gifts - you can find it all here. The merchandise is tightly packed so if this store gets crowded it could be difficult to maneuver. We didn't end up buying anything but we saw plenty of items that we liked. They carry Nike brand apparel and even shoes. If you are a Michigan State fan and are in town, don't miss this spot. Definitely a great place to buy some holiday gifts!
