Who doesn't love an Avalon Exchange?! I have been to a few different locations across America (one of my favorites being in Pittsburgh), but this one comes in close to first place. Every time I come in I'm sure to explore every single item, ensuring I don't miss something. This last time in I was trying to pass time before meeting a friend for dinner. When I got there it was pretty busy for an evening right before close, but I was still able to score big! I found a lululemon align dress (typically $100-$150) for 18.50!!!! I mean that is a steal of a deal! One thing I love about Avalon, is they always seem to be overstaffed so anytime I come in I always have people to ask questions to or to help with anything! read more

Dear sellers, Please DON'T waste your time selling here. In my experience, you're better off taking your items to a Plato's Closet or a local boutique. They pay very little for quality, up-to-date, and even unused merchandise. On top of that, they are extremely strict about the size of the bag and the number of bags you can bring in you're limited to one bag of merchandise. There are also so many rules and restrictions that, in my opinion, the selling process becomes more frustrating than it's worth. I've been here many times as both a shopper and a seller, and I can honestly say the seller experience is by far the worse side of the business. Of course, you can try it for yourself, but consider this my warning before you spend your time sorting, packing, and bringing your items in. Your quality clothes may be worth more elsewhere. read more

Lots of options across different styles and you can sell clothes as well! Pricing is more expensive since they are buying/selling and need to make a profit. A good stop to leisurely stroll around for fun. My only annoyance is that there is no governance on how many items you can try on at a time, so I had to wait like 10-15min watching people cycle out items in their dressing room and cart. Would be good to add a limit before you have to get back in line or something to make sure people aren't just waiting around forever. read more

The selection does not justify the prices or the pretentious atmosphere. Most of what I have seen is from common brands such as Old Navy, Urban Outfitters, and even Walmart brands, with many visibly used items priced at $14 or more. You could easily find something brand-new at Ross for the same price or less. read more

Good location, cute inventory, fair prices. Overall the curation is pretty good. They had nice patterns, colors, and textures. There were also some coveted brands and a good variety. I liked that there were also cute jewelry options and hair clips. The dressing room was so cute, and the overall aesthetic of the shop was adorable. The cashier was super nice and fashionable. I bought two dresses and a bracelet. Will visit again! read more

Avalon is a cute and trendy little consignment shop in Winter Park that has bright and fun decor. Usually, it has a vibrant vibe with its music playlists, and it typically receives a decent amount of foot traffic - especially on weekends. Some of the clothes are quite good for the price points, too, but it does get dicey. While I am a novice thrifter, I typically know a decent deal when I see one. And sometimes, Avalon gets it right, and sometimes they do not. I usually luck up in other consignments and second-hand shops more than I do at Avalon. However, I still patronize the store. Their process for selling is really not the greatest - which ultimately leaves me just fully donating my clothes to other consignment or giving them away to peers or the Salvation Army or selling to online consignment. I am usually left wondering how they even pick the clothes that they sell because it is not always clear. Some items they sell are just not worth the cost. Customer service is okay. I haven't had any negative interactions with the staff. Parking is not the best, but it tracks for the Winter Park area. Parking in the general area is always just a chore. Sometimes you luck up, and sometimes you have to figure it out. All in all, not a bad little spot to visit, but also don't make it the only stop you make. read more

Avalon Exchange - My Haul - Women's Clothing Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Avalon exchange has been a fave spot of mine since I discovered thrift thing. It's very organized and the vibe makes you want to stay longer. They usually have clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, and designer. One of my favorite staples is there sunglasses wall with the cute mirror for pics! This is also probably my favorite place to sell my clothes as well. Even though thrift thing is by chance, my most complimented pieces always seem to come from Avalon exchange ((: (and yes, they have dressing rooms) read more

It would seem my last review was over four years ago so we needed an update. The store has been refreshed and newly decorated with colorful, retro flowers and dangling mushroom lanterns. So adorable. It is still very open and bright inside which offers a pleasant shopping experience. I also love how everything is so clean and organized. I stick with my originally statement that Avalon is the hip little sister to Dechoes (another local consignment store with more mature/upscale pieces). I understand the aesthetic here and the style they like to buy. It's very much on brand with the younger crowd. I would say they have vintage/90s pieces and some newer styles. They have clothes for Men and Women. Going to other thrift stores you can hunt for these vintage pieces but it's much easier to find them sized and picked for you. I like that they are also size inclusive. I wear XL and they have lots of options. I ended up finding two adorable dresses today and they were reasonably priced. My husband has found a few vintage sports items like a Celtics Jersey. While the store is bright and colorful the employee demeanor is the exact opposite. I removed one star because while the employees clearly know the audience and buy items that sale fast... they are not friendly at all. There are so many people working and no one ever greets you or offers a inkling of customer service. read more

I love exploring thrift clothing stores and this was a very cool find in Winter Park. Avalon Exchange began in 1988 as a vintage clothing store. They are family owned and operated and have locations in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Savannah, St. Louis, and here in Winter Park. Avalon buys their clothing from the people who come in so each store reflects its local community. Inventory is constantly changing and includes contemporary, vintage and designer pieces clothing items along with brand new merchandise and accessories. Brands include Forever 21, Adidas, Free People, French Connection, Gap, Polo Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Prada, Anthropologie, Ray Ban, J. Crew, Kate Spade, Chanel, Lily Pulitzer, and North Face to name just a few you might find. The store is very clean, cutely appointed, and expertly organized. They had so many fun bags, scarves, an amazing pin selection, costume jewelry, and stylish sunglasses to finish off your outfit. Come in and sell your gently worn, brand name clothing and then enjoy shopping and refreshing your wardrobe. Even more fun to shop here with your daughter, sister, or girlfriend. read more

Young-ish clothes, not high end. A little bit of a disappointment for me. But we had fun looking anyway.

Located across the street from Goodwill Boutique, this is a consignment, and resale shop that seems to cater to the young and hipster crowd particularly. Absolutely nothing wrong with that except that the day we went the clothes just seemed super worn, the kind I personally would throw out, but they're selling it for 12, and 16 bucks; ok. Then at the counter they had a nice variety of accessories and trinkets; the kind you get at Ali-Express for a buck a pack, but they were selling it for a buck a piece.. hmmm.. Maybe I came at an off day and while the decor and vibe of the place is cool, I don't know that I'd return. read more

Avalon Exchange - Entrance - Women's Clothing Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

I went on a Sunday 9 min after it opened and there was already people in front of me selling. I sold probably 8 pieces and made $18. I got a pin for my tote bag and socks that were half off usually $8.50. They have a good choice of sunglasses and some fun pieces. Place is kinda pricey for a thrift shop. The pins and stickers and clips and jewelry are cool. read more

Pros: parking right out front, cute and affordable pins and patches, and they have a nice in-shop restroom. Cons: It's a second hand thrift shop but the quality of the items are not worth the prices. The prices here are sooo expensive and a lot of the items showed visible signs of tears and being worn down. They also do not have a plus size selection, so that was disappointing. Additionally, I didn't feel welcomed in this store at all. The moment I stepped in I only got side eyes from the team that was working the front checkout. I was standing at the desk to checkout for a solid 3 minutes before one of the 3 people right at the desk decided to help me checkout. Can't say that I'll be back to this thrift shop. read more

I drove 45 minutes to get here. I was told on the phone on Saturday to be there 30 minutes before closing. I arrive 45 minutes before closing and I was informed they are done for the day. It is an hour before closing to drop off products... Informed her of my drive and was still turned away. read more

Called to ask if they accept designers clothes for resale. They said yes. Drop the clothes off at the store, wait an hour for them to evaluate the items... Just for them to tell me they can't take designer clothes. Cool. Just tell me that and don't waste my time, please. read more

Love this store!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing people and great clothing!!!!!! Definitely recommend :)))

Amazing selection with a super helpful employees! One of the best stores in Orlando! Great options for retro and present day clothing.

Been there several times over the last serval months. Everyone is fantastic. I would have liked to get more for what I sold but the prices were fair. All the girls have very helpful and always really nice. read more

Looking for a hip thrift store that will take items from your closet that other local thrift stores won't take? If that does not say anything, best believe this is the best resale store in town! Super clean and well-organized store, which is well run. When a personal closet clean-out takes place next, another return to this exchange store will also take place. Best of the area high quality resale shops, for sure. read more

I have a love hate relationship with avalon... The aesthetic is cute, the music is trendy, and some clothes are actually quite good for the price! They either have really good days or really, really off days to where you question how they even pick these clothes to sell in the first place. The jewelry, although cute and trendy as well, are of TERRIBLE quality and gets dull and green within a wear or two. Not worth the cost. Customer service doesn't exist here. I've had multiple encounters and my friend all say the same, it's like a requirement to look miserable to work here. Despite the bright interior and fun decor, the employees make it so unwelcoming. Plus, parking sucks. There's only a few spots out the back and you can't even park in the front anymore. If there's no spots you have to parallel park nearby. I come back, but I usually question why I do. read more

Visited this thrift store for the first time today and let me just say it did not disappoint! Super organized, staff is really friendly and the clothes are all in great shape. I will definitely be back. As far as pricing goes, based on the brands and qualify, it's great! read more

If you are looking for great fashion finds on a budget, look no further. The variety and quality of clothes definitely leads to an incredible shopping experience. I have found some really unique gems in these lovely clothing racks. I also like the variety of accessories that include, sun glasses, earrings, bracelets, rings, and scarves. I would highly recommend following them on Instagram where you can find unique deals. read more

So I grew up going to thrift stores and I don't like them. This one was different. There was no weird, thrift store smell. You know the smell of old clothes and old sweat. This place is nice and bright. The fitting rooms are nice, no in the corner, yes that happened elsewhere. The clothes sometimes still have the tag on them. I have purchased a couple of items that were brand new. Vintage is in, so check it out! read more

Avalon Exchange - Don't be fooled by the sign outside, lol. We stopped here and then when we got out, we saw the sale was a month away. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Avalon Exchange is one of the best spots to hit for thrifting or selling old trendy clothes. Their selection on clothes is up to par, you can find good Levi's there, Carhartt, Supreme, Nike, good sweatshirts, and dope jackets. the downside is you literally have to go every week to see if they have anything new. Prices can be taxed but it's a popular location, rent, etc etc. Staff is legit they're their own little cult. staff will also lowball on your pieces so be prepared. I'm reading the other reviews of how the staff is rude. they're not rude they're just young people like you and I Covid procedures are A1 too. I slid my mask under my nose for a second and the employee was instantly on my neck demanding that I cover my face Support your local businesses read more

great experience and clothing and a lot to choose from would recommend coming back again

I'm not a big thrifter but the clothes selection here was alright in my opinion but definitely has more up to date clothing pieces as compared to places like Goodwill. What I love is definitely the accessories! There's a huge selection of sunglasses, earrings, necklaces, rings, socks, etc. My favorite was the $3 enamel pins! It's totally worth it considering most are great quality and enamel pins can get quite expensive so it was nice to find some good ones for a lesser price! read more

I have visited many times here. Before I usually buy any new clothes in a store, I check this place first to see if I can find a nice dress or outfit here. I have bought two dress here. One was an Urban Outfitters dress that I remember seeing in the mall and it cost $16 here. I went to their dollar sale and bought a dress for $5. Sometimes you have to visit this a few times to see if there are any new stuff. Sometimes I am not successful in a visit and sometimes I am. My bf has came here for dropping off clothes. They can be picky on which outfit they pick for their inventory. He had some successes and fails. Sometimes the clothes they pick are questionable. I found some weird 80's or 90's cheap outfits that were too out there for anybody to buy so it may never be fair on what items they take or don't take. But you can't beat the prices and quality of some of these items. I found a Betsey Johnson bag for $30. I recommend to check out this thrift store even if you are not into shopping in those types of store. I do get compliments on some of my outfits. I love the shock look when I tell them it is from a thrift store. read more

Okay, so Avalan Exchange has only been open since mid-August, just under 2 months, and I think I have been there about 5 or 6 times... to sell clothes... I have problems... Haha I have actually been slowly cleaning out my closet to be more minimal and since Plato's Closet is always fully stocked and extremely picky, I decided to bring my clothes to Avalon Exchange. I have been able to successfully sell a lot of my inventory to them and the staff there are extremely friendly - when they're not able to accept clothing, they don't make you feel bad about yourself or your clothing choices like they do at Plato's. They give you a fair price on your clothing and they have a similar buying model as Plato's and Dechoes Resale. Like most places, they offer you more in store credit than they offer in cash, which entices you to browse their racks... and it works. For every few articles of clothing I'm able to sell, I end up going home with at least one item... The store is well kept and clean and with the tall ceilings and big windows in the front and back of the store, you get to browse their racks in an open and light-filled space that makes shopping a little more comfortable. read more

This cool vintage shop has a good variety of modern and trendy items to buy. We've passed this place so many times and when we finally got in it was during their Dollar Sale. There was a line waiting out the door for opening hours. There must have been close to 50 people inside already and it was elbow to elbow just browsing the racks for the Dollar Sale. There was a bright orange tag for those items marked $1 or a orange marker on certain sticker tags. I scored some crazy deals that day. I even went back later that same day to take my niece and see what else they had put out. I spent a good $25 on name brand items, too. The shop has clothes, accessories and more for both guys and gals. All ages of shoppers are welcome and seen here anytime of the week. It's a cute place with a very hip vibe, usually playing all genres of 90's music. If you've got good condition garments, purses, and accessories to sell, you should bring them in. They post to their Instagram account often as to what is new in store and you can purchase them over the phone by credit card. If you change your mind when you go in to pick it up, you can return it if it's not what you thought it would be. The prices are just right. I didn't see any price tag that was outrageous. Come and check them out! read more

I would say prices are comparable to Plato's closet for the most part. However, I like how I can find really unique/vintage/eccentric items here vs at Plato's. I really enjoy the way the store is set up and the clean aesthetic appeal. I love all their sunglasses and the little enamel pins at the counter!! I've found some really cute jeans and tees here in the 2 times I've come. It's a tad bit out of the way for me, but I make the trip because I can also go to Trader Joe's nearby!! Wooo! read more

When it comes to shopping not that bad of an experience. However, they only BUY from a certain demographic. I've taken name brand items to them several times and each time. I'm told nothing will sell. Sent a friend of mine into the shop and they took everything. Keep in mind they were the same items. read more

4 Stars for a great resale spot for gals AND dudes that is big, bright, and clean. First thing to know is there's on street parking and also parking behind the shop. From there, you'll walk in and be hit with a flood of bright, natural light. This is like a thrifting experience for hipsters who have a little money (but not that Urban Outfitters money) and I'm straight up giddy about it. Racks on racks on racks of midrange cute outfits. I didn't notice any true luxury brands when I perused, but the prices ranged from $8-$20 on most items. And I'm not mad about that! The men's section had tons of Nike sneakers and what looked like pretty decently curated racks. The shoes lining the walls were all missing a pair (I assume they have the missing pairs behind the register to avoid theft?), but it's a bit odd because they aren't super high end. And this chick has a slightly bigger left foot, so I like to take a stroll around a rack to test them out before I buy a pair of shoes. The sunglasses were pretty 'meh' and felt like they bought a bunch of cheap plastic glasses and put them on display. But the jewelry and kickass patches and pins made up for this! Need a succulent pin for a friend? CHECK! Lastly, the fitting rooms were awesome. Clean, bright, modern, and nothing like what you would expect at a thrift shop. Kudos on a great aesthetic! And the good lighting probably sold a few extra dresses, too. ;) Overall, great shop and I'm sure I'll be back soon! read more

Came in today and loved it, the place is so clean and the workers are really nice. The clothes are priced pretty good too. They keep everything really organized compared to other thrift stores! The dressing rooms had good lighting with large rooms and mirrors. Most of the clothes were in style, good condition, and looked new. They have so much to look at; shoes, belts, jewelry, clothes obviously etc read more
