So fun and great merchandise! Best selection on designer purses clothes and accessories. Great customer service.

I walked in while my boyfriend was getting a haircut next door. I'm a local drag queen and seamster in Palm Springs, so I'm always looking for fashionable, reasonably priced pieces to add to my wardrobe and use for shows. Unfortunately, from the moment I walked in, I felt unwelcome and like I was being watched the entire time. At first, I tried to brush it off and thought maybe I was just overthinking it. What really changed that for me was when I went to leave. I said "thank you" and walked toward the door, only to find that the door had been locked and I couldn't freely exit. That was extremely uncomfortable and honestly made me feel like my initial impression wasn't just in my head. As someone who works locally and has many clients in the Palm Springs area, I'm always happy to support and recommend local businesses. I actually came in thinking this could be a place I'd shop at and refer clients to, but after this experience, unfortunately, I won't be doing either. Everyone deserves to feel welcome and comfortable when simply walking into a store to shop. -Aubrey McQueen read more

Affordable Designs is unique and beyond compare to other consignment stores. Linda is so personable, fabulous and has an exceptional eye for fashion. I have been a longtime consigner and will not take my things anywhere else. If you are looking for style, selection and exceptional quality this is the place for you. This is definitely a gem and you will not be disappointed. read more

These people are thieves. DO NOT SELL YOUR ITEMS THROUGH THEM. I brought designer items. Most like new. Some were NWT and some worn once. I was not paid for everything they sold, they donated other items without so much as a call to me, to see if I wanted them back. One of the checks I received was written on a closed account. YOU WILL LOSE OUT! DON'T TRUST THEM!!!!! read more

Affordable Designer Consignments - Check written on closed account - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Palm Desert, California

It can be crammed and hot during the summer months, but it's always worth the stop. Linda is very sweet and you can tell she loves talking about her pieces. I wish they had more clothing options for size 10+ but I always come away with something. The prices are reasonable and there's always a sale section. I would say they're lower than poshmark prices but around there and at least you can try the stuff on and see the quality. read more

This is a smallish store with two rooms which are jam packed with designed goods. I would say it skews to the retired set, but I found a Tory Burch shirt to try on and almost everything I considered was about $30 which I thought fair considering it was all actual designer, high end labels. There were large try-on rooms. The owner didn't great me at first as she was busy with two older ladies, but later gave me a nice smile. read more

Don't waste your time. Seriously! I've consigned with Linda before, just a few items, and it was an ok experience. I live in the desert part time, and when there were 2 checks I asked her if she would mail them. Nope. Told me to just come get them when I got back. Now I've just cleaned out my closet, called Linda to ask if I could bring about 20 items by. Her first appointment was June....2 months away. I asked if I could send pictures instead because I was leaving the desert soon. She agreed. I sent pictures- she responded that she liked what she saw. I have called and left 5 messages since that time. I've spoken with her assistant, I've left voicemails. Finally the last time I spoke to her assistant, I told her to tell Linda not to even bother. That this is ridiculous, and so unprofessional. Honestly, having a consignment store has got to be one of the easiest things to do. You don't have to buy inventory, people bring it to you. And I have nice stuff!!!! I wish her luck. read more

The owner is so rude and condescending I will never go back. I heard she also does not pay her consigners very dishonest.

I was a consignee with this store. Had a similar situation as another consignee. NEVER called when an item was sold. Dropped by store to pick up a check that was 2 mos old. It took a serious conversation to get her to write a new check which she initially said she didn't have any. NEVER RETURNS CALLS !!! Has NO record of my account . She is without doubt one of the worst business owners, I have dealt with. In my opinion, accurate record keeping and honesty are imperative to having a successful, respected business. I am on way to Small Claims Court. read more

This is an update to my earlier review. After failing to reach the owner over a period of time, I finally made contact. Long story short, first she had no record of me despite the fact that I had a written copy of our consignment agreement. She was unable to provide any information about any of the items that I left her told me that she had a lot of files at home and will get back to me soon. I had to reach out to her again. Again more delays. Finally, she found my contract informed me that she had sold, two of the handbags, and without ever contacting me to give me an opportunity to pick them up, allegedly donated them. And for which she, not I, got the charitable donation for taxes. She finally sent me payment for the two handbags that, incidentally, we're worth far more than what I received even after subtracting her commission. I have no proof of sale. This business is not professionally run, and I would never go there again, or recommend it to others. read more

Linda is one of the most unprofessional business owner I have ever dealt with. If you are thinking about putting items on consignment with her I would advise not to do business with her. She is argumentative,unorganized and extremely rude. She has a million reasons why she can't pay you after she sells your item. Even though her employee told me to come on that date to pick up a check. I insisted on getting paid and after about 45 minutes of her excuses she finally wrote me a check. I will never step foot in that place again. read more

This was by far my favorite consignment store in Palm Desert when it comes to price, service and selection. Tons of Chanel and LV, Dior, mostly accessories, purses, costume jewelry etc. Located right on the main road, open 11-5 daily. Worth checking out if you love high end fashion at bargain prices. read more

Love everything about this store! Linda is AMAZING and always treats me with respect and honesty. I always feel comfortable going in and never feel unwanted or rushed. There is no sale pressure and the consignments are always a refreshing appointment. When you want high end, quality name brands without the name brand pricing, you have found the place you've always been looking for! Stop in today! read more

Linda's extensive collection is both eclectic and exquisite! I could (and do) spend hours in her shop ogling top designer garments and gorgeous handbags & accessories in pristine condition. Reasonable prices and great service keep me coming back each trip to the Desert. read more

The owner Linda is so nice and extremely helpful pulling together outfits from the clothes in the store. She takes great pride in selecting top designers and styles from her clients. I was very impressed with such beautiful designer clothing at amazing prices. Many items are NWT ( new with tag). There are also hand bags, shoes and jewelry to accessorize your outfit. I have received so many compliments on the outfits I bought. I'll definitely be back. read more

Lots of amazing pieces , jewelry was fantastic, you will need lots of time. Very friendly staff

Every time I have entered this store I spot something as I walk in the door. Today it was a pair of shoes just in the window showcase. This is my favorite place to find high quality designer clothing, shoes , bags, hats, sunglasses, jewelry, and accessories all in excellent condition. Great place to recycle pieces you no longer use. Call to make an appointment. The reason I like this store is that the owner has a good eye. She only selects pieces that look great. Not everything is new but, it looks new. All the racks are well organized by designer and size. The store is always well kept and she is very knowledgeable of her products. Her pricing is very affordable. Every piece I have purchased here, I get compliments on. I don't want to list each and every designer line she has represented but you will find St John, Escada, Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, and many many more. Located on the frontage street parallel to Hwy 111, by Deep Canyon near Subway and Nestegg. Park right in front on the street or along the side of the building. read more

On my recent trip to the desert, I stopped in Affordable Designer Consignments' new location. Such a cute boutique with upscale designer labels. I was able to find many great items at a bargain price. Next time I visit, I will definitely be back! read more

Getting 4 stars because a got a large Micheal Kors for $100. But I would have given her 3s lots of faux stuff. It is labeled but disappointing read more

Loved the owner, she was sweet and chatty. 4 stars only because most of the items are faux, there were a few authentic lux items behind the cashier register so I was a bit disappointed. read more

Part of the allure of Palm Springs + is the hunt of vintage/consignment fashion pieces. I drove by Affordable Designer Consignments by accident Thursday afternoon and had a delightful visit, trying on various pieces and speaking with the owner. While some pieces are higher priced based on the label (and rightly so), I was happy to discover a robust sales rack with pieces marked half-off. A Tapp vest, Bebe tank and Frank Lyman zip-up, each unique and top quality totalled $55.00. There is a beautiful assortment of the big names St. Johns, Gucci, in perfect condition. The owner has added Chanel-like accessories for extra touches. I will return the next time I'm in town and recommend this as a place to check out. read more

I've been a customer and consigned here for many years and always pleased with the service and selection. She consigns a wonderful variety from High Couture to Chico's. read more

This is a great gem in the Desert. Fabulous designer clothing, accessories, and jewelry that are affordable and in five star condition. Linda, the owner has done a fabulous job with the store. Great customer service, great atmosphere, and a delightful store to find some great items. Once you visit, you will be a regular customer. read more

My wife wanted to make sure we got back to this store this year, because last year we found some great deals. This time, she was only looking for a few items, i.e. New Year's Eve attire and summer dresses. Once again the selection and quality of the outfits was excellent and my wife went home happy, finding a pair of velvet Escada evening pants, a few Chico's t-shirts, a St John sweater, and a gorgeous Karen Kane summer dress. All for a fraction of the original price. She was tempted by a few beautiful belts, and shoes as well. The owner was in attendance this year and she was very pleasant to work with. She spent a lot of time helping us out. She knows her inventory and size of the various designers very well. This year the store even has one rack of men's clothing. I found two very attractive silk shirts. Very high end - an embroidered camp shirt from Tommy Bahama and geometrical print from Tori Richard of Hawaii. They were like brand new. Not super cheap - but likely for 60-70% off the original price. I'm sure we will shop at Designer Consignments again next year. read more

If you're a potential consignor, beware. Owner was told not to donate any items not sold. She admits to making a "mistake" and donating my items, but would not make good on their value. read more

I had a fun time looking for items here. The nice lady working there left us alone until we needed her and then when the time was right, she provided excellent service. I will go back. Prices were great and I was able to find some good items. I bought 2 shirt type "jackets" for under $40 so I'd call it very reasonable. The only downside was the heat. The AC was on minimally so I got too hot to try on more clothes. This is not unusual in the desert tho. I will be heading back! read more

wowow what a wonderful shop/great owner who goes all out to help/linda knows her merchandise and is a great saleswoman /ive shopped for years and love her new location with great parking ...... her louis vuitton hermes and chanel bags are to die for....... read more

Some okay things . A bit overpriced . And customer service is horrible. Didn't offer any help or if we were looking for something .

Kathy is fabulous and she always manages to find things I love every time I stop into town. I highly recommend this place looking for designer clothes. read more

I called the store and was told to bring my designer handbags into the owner to look at on Tuesdays between there certain hours of operation. I proceeded to do so on the day recommended and the hours suggested without any mention by the employee of needing an appointment. When I entered the store the owner gave me a dirty look and said "My employee told you to make an appointment" in a very rude and condescending voice. I told her I was not told to make an appointment but she insisted that I was. I have never encountered such a rude owner of a business. She practically threw myself and my designer handbags out of her store when I insisted I did not know about an appointment. I found it quite unusual for her to act this way since there were no other people in her store. The merchandise looked worn and the owners attitude was anything but welcoming! I would never shop or enter the store again and certainly would not recommend anyone wasting their time. read more

I brought 4 organized boxes of clean, neatly folded clothing from my upscale wardrobe (and my mom's, we're moving to France). They went through the clothing, bunching it all up so it was unshareable. The fact that did not want one item was okay, but the way they ruined nice clothing is unforgivable. read more

I not only shop here, I also consign things and have been a customer for several years. I originally heard about her from a friend and now I am singing her praises to all! Other consignment shops I've been to do not seem to be as organized as this one is. read more

The owner is absolutely lovely, everytime I go in she is extremely consise and helpful. A must go if you are in the Coachella Valley area. Local Gem read more

Awful service. When I entered the shop the lady who worked there (or owner) just looked at me, barely acknowledged me. She spoke with other customers. I found two adorable dresses on the half off rack that I planned on purchasing. When I was ready I let her know where I found the dresses, she challenged it and said that it was in a different rack. I showed her where I found them, she responded by saying that they must have been misplaced. Even though I purchased one she never said thank you nor was she pleasant. read more

My annual vacation to the desert each year is never complete without a trip to this fabulous boutique. Owner Linda has a wonderful selection of designer apparrel as well as some noted faux accessories for those with less to spend. She knows her inventory and I am thrilled with the reversible leather and mink coat I purchased. This shop is a must go to! Highly recommend! Sincerely, Christine D. read more

As a consigner, I am thrilled to have found this delightful little shop. Linda is a joy to work with and the items I take in always seem to sell. As a buyer, I have found some great clothes (especially Eileen Fisher things) that I love and at very reasonable prices, too. read more

Love this place! They have super nice stuff at much lower rates than retail prices. It isn't the cheapest consignment store. However, the items that they have are designer labels. If I am every passing through the desert again, this spot will be back on my itinerary. read more

BEWARE! I went to this establishment (Affordable Designer Consignments) to put up for consignment only six dresses & one pant suit, which were either new or like-new, and dry-cleaned. After handing out the form that was provided to me listing the garments to the lady in charge, I hung around for a bit expecting to be informed about their pricing protocols, or anything else I'd need to know re their other procedures, etc. The attendant was anything but informative while inspecting the garments. Finally she said that it was not necessary for me to be there anymore; so I asked if she was supposed to complete the list (which was short) that I handed her with whatever relevant information, so that I could get a copy of it. She just said that she would tag the clothing at a later time, and that, if I wished, I could go thru the racks in order to have an idea of how their pricing was done. After six or seven weeks, not having heard from them, I called to ask about the status of my clothes; and the lady said that only one of my dresses had been sold and that I had a check there of my 50% share. I then asked how or when I was supposed to know when anything of mine is sold. She said condescendingly that it was indicated in the contract--that people are the ones responsible for calling every month-- but that "people never really read the contract". I said that the so-called contract, which is only a one-pager in large letters, only says that "checks are issued the fourth Friday" but no mention that people should call at that time or any other time for that matter. At the end of the third month, I called requesting if I could have my property back, and asked how they would handle that, if they would pull them back from the rack and I would pick it up. She then said: "you are the one that needs to do that - go thru the racks and get them" - "that if she were to do that for everyone she would not have time to do her work." That to me sounded to say the least rude and demeaning. So I went to get my garments and one of them was missing (a new Sun dress that even had their tags on it). She told me to call sometime the following week to see if the dress had turned up. I then asked that if not found I could be somehow compensated for it, like have a comparable item from the store. Then she said, of course not, that would be other people's property, that the best she could do was to give me a donation form for tax purposes. It was like saying: It's OK to lose your dress, but we have to respect other people's property." As suggested by her, I called the following week and spoke to another lady in the store who didn't know anything about the lost dress and said she would pass on the message to "Linda" who didn't bother to return my call. If you value your possessions I definitely do not recommend doing business with them, as they are impolite and unprofessional at best. read more

What a treat this shop is ! Great deals on high end designer apparel and accessories. I picked up a gorgeous Louis Vuitton handbag for a fraction of the original price. Linda, the owner of the shop is delightful and knows her merchandice very well. I highly recommend this shop and will definitely be returning to check out their great deals!! What a diamond in the rough!! read more

What fun! An amazing variety of clothes, shoes, jewelry and more. A full range from St. John to Chico. Wonderful service. You can browse to your heart's content, and at the right moment, there is a hand out to take your selections to a clean, comfortable dressing room. Great service and patient advice. Check out the second room to find the 50% off items. I nabbed a very cool California Leather suede top for $10, although it needs to be cleaned. Bring your credit card! read more
