Loved the selection here. I can't wait to return and purchase some of their very unique options…read more There's also a dope setup here, I didn't get a chance to check out their Photo Booth, but will add that to my list for my next trip!

Just went back to the shop yesterday -- here are some updates!…read more - The shop is open now on Sundays from 3-6 pm... and NOT open on Saturday from 12-3. Essentially its hours now are Thursday-Sunday 3-6 pm. Even if the door is locked, just knock and the shopkeeper will let you in. - The owner (Sylvia) is going to start transitioning the clothes to the spring season... coming in a couple of weeks or so! - On that note, the shop's strong suit are the accessories -- lots of nice cocktail hats/handbags/jewelry. Examine closely, because pretty much everything in there's for sale. - Starting next week she's going to start making prices static. Yeah, no more haggling, but at least it will be a lot less pressure for those who are uncomfortable with negotiating. In conjunction, some of the prices of the clothing will be adjusted... so maybe that amazing paillette jacket will be cheaper now? Also, I've learned something recently, having become acquainted with the owner. Y'know how it might be kind of intimidating/irritating when the shopkeeper tries to talk to you/make comments about what you're browsing? Well, I always found it that way. All in all, it's just the keeper trying to be friendly, not necessarily trying to pressure you into buying something. Ain't nothin' wrong with trying to be nice.

Wow. I cannot explain how happy and lucky I feel to have found this awesome little shop. The…read moreselection is amazing. The prices are to die for, especially in DC where most vintage or thrift stores are anything but thrifty. The shop owner, Sylvia, is such a sweet lady. She gave me a great deal on some amazing pieces I would have easily paid double for and still would have walked out thinking I got a good price. Needless to say I will be going back again and again and will do my best to spread the word about this lovely little gem. I am almost a bit hesitant to share this with too many of my friends, as I want to make sure I get all the goodies, but there seemed to be plenty to go around and the shop owner is just too nice and lovely to not help support. Go there - you will find something you love. Great place to buy gifts!!!

There was a waiting line for the fitting rooms but since I only had one item they let me go in the express room near the dresses. Ended up picking up a denim skirt and although I wouldn't say they're priced cheap, it was fair considering the item has its original tag. I also appreciated that at checkout they checked my ID to make sure it matched the payment method so there is no fraud. Overall. I would come here again if I lived in the area!

I've had mixed experiences as a consigner here--I'd say probably 80% neutral to good. Overall, I…read morebring clothes that I think are excellent quality/good brands, but understand that Secondi might just donate them outright. When I first started consigning, I was told that if there was something I *really* didn't want donated, I could let them know. If they decided not to sell that item, I was obligated to come back immediately to get it. I thought that was a nice thing to do, especially since it creates good will with their consigners. One of the last times that I consigned, I explained to the shop-person that there was a piece I wanted to hold onto if they didn't want to sell it, and I was given some eyerolls and told that this is not something Secondi does. They did complete a quick assessment for me, which I appreciated, but the attitude around it made me feel very uncomfortable. It might be helpful if all the shop folks were on the same page about guidelines! Otherwise, Secondi has been around since I was in high school (and probably even before that), so it's a real DC institution. It's one of the most well known consignment shops in DC, and I do think they do a great job curating their wares and they do not sell mass-market/lower quality items.

Awesome little shop!

They had a ton of tapestry art and random eclectic home decor items, and the prices were not bad. We chatted with the store owner also who is from Morocco, and he was also quite friendly and nice.

I had no idea what to expect...but having now been there, I'm disappointed this place wasn't around when I lived in D.C. They've got one of the best hip-hop selections I've ever seen -- not just random 12" records, but some classic golden era LPs too (and all reasonably priced). They've got a pretty big selection of other genres too, though I didn't spend much time looking through them. The owner also seems like a nice, friendly guy too.

I bought a very cool 80s blazer and love the unique style of it Cons: 1) the place is quite stinky -- everything is musty and I had to immediately take my item to the dry cleaner for fear it might infect my closet. 2) the prices are pretty high. I'm a regular vintage shopper so I'm pretty used to vintage price points -- this is definitely a bit on the higher side (nothing completely absurd, but it did seem steep to me -- and she won't haggle which on some level I understand, her rent is probably quite high in this area) 3) The hours are terrible. The first time I tried to come here, the shop was randomly closed because the owner was on a trip (can't blame her for that, but there was no sign explaining so we stood around for a while trying to figure out if we were even trying the right door because it was completely unmarked) 4) The fitting room is def a weird set up. It's basically just a folding screen she set up in the corner of the store that other shoppers mistake for more clothes so some came way too close to seeing me undressed. All in all, this is a cute vintage store with some great finds. If you're willing to overlook the smell and the higher prices, you'll love it! As a lover of vintage finds, I certainly thought this place was cute, but wanted to note there were some slightly off-putting aspects.

I never really figured out the organization while I was here. They use size tags, but I think it's to split up section, not actual sizes? Or they do use them for sizes but items were very misplaced... The low lighting also made it difficult to look at the items sometimes. However, the prices were great, they have a wide variety of items, and I liked that there were changing rooms there. They do have a bathroom but it was out of service while I was there.
