I stopped in here by chance the other day, I saw it as I was driving and stopped in. I have not been in a Clothes Mentor in ages. Lucky for me there was a big sign at the front door that said "90% off clearance sale". There were select items marked throughout the store that were on sale. The first rack I saw though was all designer items with really high prices and I thought maybe this wasn't the place for me as I am a thrifter and like to keep my fashion budget on the low side. I was pleasantly surprised with what I was able to find though. The gals that worked there were super helpful and answered the couple of questions that I had. I ended up with 5 items and I spent just $15 on those, what a deal! I will stop in again sometime to look as I had forgotten what was available in this store. read more

See all

First time visiting this thrift store and I was pleasantly surprised. It was well organized with plenty of dressing rooms. It reminded me a lot of Plato's Closet with it's design. They have name brand clothing, accessories, shoes and purses, but at decent prices. I would not consider it upscale, but it is nicer than say Goodwill. read more

This store has saved me, even in times of emergency when I needed a dress for a wedding the next day! The prices are amazingly inexpensive and the clothes are in great condition. I also sell there and am happy with that process. I want them to be picky because I want to buy nice things when I shop! The staff is extremely friendly and helpful as well. read more

Super friendly staff and the nicest dressing rooms. So cleanly I wasn't afraid to drop my clothes on the floor either! Perfect place for millennial wardrobes. read more

I am going to start off by saying that most of the negative reviews are from people who wanted to get a ton more money from their clothes without having any idea how much time and money goes into reselling second hand clothing. They also run multiple social medial profiles and a website!!! If you want to get more for your clothing, then sell on POSHMARK or marketplace yourself. That being said, I love Clothes Mentor! I have gotten so many amazing pieces from them from a gold Cartier LOVE ring to three beautiful Gucci bags to tons of lululemon and so much more!! And I've paid a fraction of what these pieces would have cost brand new. I am also always getting compliments on things I found there so I've basically become a walking advertisement for them and am always telling people about them I've gotten more compliments on my black bug Gucci bag I bought from them than on anything I've ever owned! I also love going because I never know what I am going to find! I am guilty of checking their website once a week at this point because I never know what's going to pop up. Most of my family and friends shop there now too! For Christmas this year, I've been tasked with making several outfits for friends and Clothes Mentor was the first place I went and found so many incredible pieces! To top it off, their customer service is incredible! The very few times I've had any kind of issue, they have gone above and beyond to resolve it! And they are just so kind and friendly as it is! They have a customer for life!! read more

Honestly this place is a hot mess . It's extremely unorganized their buying station was giving me anxiety just looking at it, I recommend not to waste your time selling here. I went in with multiple higher end items (retailing at $300-$600) and some other things, and they wanted to purchase not only all my high end stuff but some of my other items for the whopping total of $48.... I asked if they had done any research on my items, and they said it's up to the computer system and as someone that works at a resale store, I know that is a lie. It's unfortunate. read more

Unfortunately I drove all the way up to clothes Mentor to sell some clothes only to see they don't accept selling after 4pm or on Sundays. For someone that works 9-5 that is difficult meaning I can only do so on Saturdays but at least I know now. read more

Service folks were nice however policies are odd. I walked in first and asked if now was a good time to bring in a car full of clothes. She said yes. After I carried in about 50 suits all dry cleaned and on hangers she said, "OH we don't take clothes on hangers." I said, " I didn't want to mess them up since they had come back from the cleaners." She then said, "we really don't take suits." She did apologize but listing this on the website would have saved me alot of work. So, please note, no suits and no hangers. read more

It was the night before my daughter's high school graduation and we were on a hunt for a dress. Clothes Mentor has a nice selection, so I wanted to make this our first stop. After trying on several dresses that didn't speak to her, we decided to look elsewhere, but not before she spotted a dress that she wanted to try. It was a satiny royal blue dress from Express with tags marked $79.90 still attached and fit her PERFECTLY! She found shoes and our journey was complete. As we made our way to the counter, I was told that orange tags were 30% off, so she got her entire outfit for $32. Not bad for a mom, I must say. P.S. While we were there, she ran into a young man shopping with (for) his mom for the same event. Small world Indianapolis is, even if it was in Fishers. read more

If I could select 0 stars, I would. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE. After my awful experience, I felt compelled to warn others. I dropped off two large bins of clothing (gently used and name brand like gap, j crew, Lilly Pulitzer...) and received a notification that the buy was ready later that evening. I then called the store and asked for the total amount. The employee told me it was "store policy" that they could not tell me over the phone; I'd have to come in and get it. So, the next day, I drive back only to be told they are "passing" on everything due to "inventory". What a joke! Complete waste of time and rude Staff. Do not sell, or even try to sell, here. read more

I'm a frequent shopper here and have almost always had a successful trip. I love thrifting, and it's nice to shop secondhand here because there's less "junk" to sort through. Nice brands, almost always in good condition, and the staff has always been friendly. I've found a couple great things with tags still attached which is the best! Highly recommend following them on Instagram where they post some of their best stuff. I found amazing overalls, brand new from Urban Outfitters and they are my fave. I've also found some great shoes and bottoms which are harder to find in good condition at Goodwill. read more

Clothes Mentor Fishers, IN - Loved these overalls I saw on a Clothes Mentor mannequin, Urban Outfitters, tags were still attached. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Fishers, Indiana

For shopping sure for selling absolutely not! Sell it yourself on eBay or some other sites because they are completely gonna rip you off it doesn't matter name brand new with tags you're going to get 10 or $15 or $30 for $700 worth of goods there in it to make money they're not in it to help you make any. read more

I went into Clothes Mentor not knowing that it was basically an organized thrift store for clothes, shoes and accessories. Do they have name brand items such as Lulemon and Lulalaroe? Yes. Are the prices reasonable for name brand items? Maybe, I'm not really into those brands. Then why do I give them 2 stars? Other items (off brands and "cheaper" brands like Old Navy) in the store are terribly overpriced. Why would anyone buy a gently uses $16 Old Navy shirt at a resale store when it was probably $20 new? Seeing this pricing prompted me to walk out of the store. If you're a budget shopper, there are better deals elsewhere. If you are too fancy to go to a Goodwill store, Salvation Army store or shop on FB marketplace, this is the store for you! read more

I would have to agree with the other ladies...at first I thought it was the melanin...but after reading the other reviews it's just the employees...so maybe it's the location...but friendly customer service was NOT their strong suite!! As for clothing, shoe and purse selection...for the most part you will not be disappointed. I went in looking for a white dress for my friend who is plus sized...no luck...however there were a good selection of clothing and dresses that were not white. Their purse collection was phenomenal! Great collection of Coach and Michael Kors purses. Their prices rival other consignment stores...a little higher because it's more of an adult store...but still some good finds to be found. read more

I love going into Clothes Mentor whenever I get the itch to shop or add a fun piece to my wardrobe. Great prices and I have frequently found items new with tags. I bought most of my Maternity wardrobe here and also recommend the athletic brands! read more

Took in a large amount of maternity clothes in great condition, some never worn before, some I bought there and never wore. They took 5 minutes and barely looked at my items and decided not to buy from me. I was told they were in need of maternity clothes by a associate that works there a week prior to me taking the items in. They said my items were to worn ( most were never worn ).. I have seen items they sell that are more worn then my most worn item . Needless to say I will not be shopping there. read more

Let me just say don't go here unless you want to waste your money and time. I used my time and money to try and sell to them nice clothes that are exactly what they sell in the store as I've shopped there previously, just for them to give me $3.30 for one item. They didn't take anything else. When I asked they said condition. Which did not make sense because all my clothes were in good condition and what I thought they were looking for. They gave me $3 for a very nice blazer that I've never really worn and was almost in brand new condition. Like I get that they give a 1/3 of the price, but still that blazer was worth $20-40, I can't remember the exact price and I should have gotten a lot more for what it was worth. I will never go back here and I am posting this to warn others to not make the same mistake. read more

Just like many of the other reviews say, trying to sell here is like trying to teach a fish how to speak English. I brought in a $450 business suit in perfect condition from BCBG, and they handed it back immediately, almost without looking at it. Didn't even look at my other items. I love how entitled and special all the workers here feel. You know, because it's royalty to essentially work in a THRIFT store. I'm not coming back. read more

Don't sell here unless you're looking for lunch money. I came to sell a White House black market dress that was $200 and on sale on their website for $100. Given that the belt was missing I was looking to sell for at least $50. Instead I got it for $8. She said she "checked" the database for the store but I'm sure she looked for how much the dress was really worth. Since it was my first and last time selling to them I won't make a scene and I accepted because I didn't want to go through the stress of selling it somewhere else. The clothes they had were just like the ones you find at goodwill but the shoes were better. It was clean and barely anyone was in there. Figured because their attitude is not very welcoming read more

I wish there was a rating star in between "Meh" and "A-OK" because my experience with Clothes Mentor was only OK, not great, but not so bad that I would never go back as a buyer (not sure about selling here). This consignment store is very similar to Simply Chic in that you sell your clothes right there. But I was there to buy. Unlike Plato's Closet, this store is aimed at the professional/mature woman with stylish selections of all types of clothing, shoes, jewelry, handbags and even maternity clothes. They claim they have sizes from 0-16, but as a small person, their size 0-4 selection in pants was pretty slim, no pun intended :). So I found several shirts I liked. I take them to the counter and the girl takes off the security tags, that have a little pin in them, and immediately we notice that there are now holes left in 3 of my shirts. Two holes were really bad. She said they are supposed to place the security tags in the seam, well that evidently didn't happen. The manager agrees to only 15% off each shirt even though the store is who caused the damage. I would have been happy with $50% off instead. So I bought the items anyway and now have to find thread and time to sew up the holes :( The other thing about this store is the pricing is all across the board. Some things I looked at were really inexpensive, say $4.00. In fact, I found a cute pair of no-name brand heels for $5.00. But other shoes I would look at would be $20, $50+. Now, I am not a clothing designer aficionado, I couldn't care less about name brand. I look for the style. So maybe most of the brands in this store are high end, I am not sure, but regardless, I am not going to pay the price just for a name. I bought 6 items for $46 and was refunded $3 for the holes in the shirts. It was kind of an odd first experience, but I will go back, I just have to pay attention to where they place the security tags. I don't want to go through that fiasco again, as I am not much into sewing. read more

I went to sell them stuff, not really buy. I took lots of things, but they literally bought none of them. They really stick to the "1-2" years old rule. Some of my things were things that I thought were fairly classic pieces-just tees from the gap or even some khakis. I will say, and this is why they are getting four stars, that the place was clean, did not smell like goodwill, and was organized. You would never have thought you were walking into a used clothing store. read more

It's a very nice store. As soon as I walked in I was quickly met with a hello and welcome. Sunglasses $6.99 or 2/$12. Tons of awesome jewelry. All clothes for women and they have plenty of purses and shoes. Parking lot all around the store. They have a free rewards program, and after 250 points or something like that you get a 20% off coupon. I'll be back tomorrow! read more

Love this store! All name brands, great conditions, for reasonable prices! Every time I come I find exactly what I was looking for, and even more I wasn't looking for! Great resale store! read more

Not too bad of a place to sell clothes. I have better luck selling at Simply Chic or Plato's, but I do give this place a chance from time to time. I just wish these places were a little faster when going through ur stuff. read more

This store is one of the better stores I have been to regarding selection. They have better high end and luxury brands available. But this is also based on what is brought in for sale. If you see something, you better purchase it because it may not be there the next day. It is one of those places that you need to go to every week to see what is available. If you follow them on Facebook, you will from time to time see postings of high end purses, clothing or jewelry for sale. The staff can be very friendly or rude depending on who is there. The younger girls are normally not very friendly nor willing to assist. My last two visits I stood at the counter witness this while waiting for one of the 3-5 behind the counter to assistance. They talked about their plans or complained about schedules and how they had to come to work and others got time off. Mind you, there was a other people in the store. read more

This store is always we'll organized by size and color. They do a nice job highlighting designer pieces and full outfits. Their Instagram/Facebook is updated daily with new arrivals too. Everyone is always super helpful! read more

This location has good prices on certain brands. I have found J.crew for less than $20 a piece. But for the consignment portion of this store, I would suggest elsewhere or apps like Poshmark. I recently went in and brought a bag of designer jeans, sweaters and jackets. They offered me a little over $20 for the items. Not worth it in my opinion. If you're looking to make a quick buck, this is your place. Over-all I think they have good prices, but as a seller I won't return. read more

I really want to like this store, but I have been consistently disappointed every time I have gone here to shop. I agree with the poster below who describes this store as "meh." The selection is not great and I have found many shirts that have damage! The prices vary greatly as well- some shirts being $4 up to $25. They have a good selection of handbags and jewelry. I have better luck shopping at simply chic. I have sold to clothes mentor one time and was disappointed with the dollar amount they offered me. read more

I love thrift stores and have loved this one, I'm never one to complain but I just had a terrible experience. They had two seperate items mismarked and then responded very rude when I questioned. I will go to this one when I have no other option. But I recommend the workers take a happy meal. ;) read more

I shop at clothes mentors all over the country and this is my absolute favorite store. The girls there love what they do, are very knowledgeable about the brands they sell, and are more than helpful. The items are too notch. You can find higher end mall brands but the designer section is what keeps me coming back. No other store has the quality of clothes this store does. It's one of the smaller clothes mentors I've been in but they make up for it in the amazing environment you get from the moment you walk in the door. read more

I think this is a really nice consignment store! I found some great finds. My friend found a lot of maternity clothes she needed! However, the people who work here are not very friendly. Also, there was a dress that I liked there and considered buying. It had a tear, so I thought if they give me a good discount, I'll buy and fix it. However, they were only willing to give 10% off. That's only $1-2, so that wasn't worth it to me. Good luck selling that. read more

Some of these reviews are harsh.. I love this store. Great prices and sales. Some great brands and they are stylish. Good selection of sizes for all. They even sell maternity which can be expensive! read more

Don't waste your time, went in there with 20 items to sell (all very nice clothes) watched the young lady behind the counter take TWO shirts out put them back in the box then tell me that "they can't take anything" ... How would you know if you don't even look at more than 2 things. Talked to two other ladies in there and they both said they did the same thing to them. Don't waste your time trying to sell! read more

If you're a fan of quality boots and purses -like me- I highly recommend this place. A brand-new Louis Vuitton purse just isn't in my budget. I picked up a pre-owned Louis with a slight rip to the fabric on the inside (hardly noticeable) and leather Steve Madden combat boots for an incredible price. I receive comments on the purse daily and have worn my boots too many times to count. The only reason I'm giving this place a 4 is because I spent all the money I made from reselling, in the store. read more

Women that work here are for sure of the snootier breed. THEY are in charge, and want you to know it. :) Anyways.....besides that, the clothes are nice! If you are looking to sell things, they take NICE women's clothes, in like new condition, and high quality. For a hip Woman. Not juniors, although juniors would feel comfortable in them, as they aren't frumpy stuffy clothes. Great for women 28-55/60. Everything from workwear to lots of going out clothes and lounge wear. At the moment, there is a 70%.....yes, 70!!! % OFF sale on many in style, in season clothes, shoes, and purses. Check this place out. read more

Grea product. My only critique is that they seem to be distracted with floor moves and need to focus on people more. I've been in many times and they have rarely noticed. With some improved customer service, I would give them a 10/10. review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

I love Clothes Mentor! Did you ask what is acceptable for selling? They tend to go by seasons and I have made quite a bit of money selling to this store as opposed to others. read more

As a 53 year old professional who buys quality clothing and takes care of her quality clothing I'm a little curious about what is acceptable to be sold to this shop. I took in several items, including a classic, V neck, sleeveless, Nicole Miller, crepe de chine, size 4, little black dress that had been worn ONCE. They passed. I had a black Kate Spade handbag. Pass. Chanel hat and scarf set. Pass. Hmmm? I had a few sweaters and I can understand not wanting sweaters but I had some other designer handbags that had been carried a few times and they passed, along with an ecru, size 6, Ann Taylor silk blouse that I've worn 2-3 times. They only took 2 items and while I accept their pickiness I am just confused about what IS acceptable and felt this was a colossal waste of time. I'm not reviewing due to sour grapes but am reaching out to every other busy woman to say, "Don't waste your time." Oh, I DID feel this place smells like a used clothing store, as some have said. That doesn't mean a thing, though. Quality clothing can be found in resale shops. I didn't shop so can't comment on clothing quality, however. read more

I am very disappointed in this store in terms or taking things in for sale. It seems the only styles they want are for the twenty year old age range. The staff seems to not understand that women of all ages shop for clothing. My biggest complaint is when you take brand new/never worn stylish items in ( maybe you have received as a gift or your size has changed and you decide to try to sell) and the staff has clearly been trained to say - "we are going to pass as these have too much wear or are over 2 years old!!!) This is a blatant lie and has happened a few times. I have decided to never go back as it is a huge waste of time. I see what is hanging in the shop - some things with stains and snags (which I would NEVER take in) and then they lie to me and tell me the items have too much wear when they are new. It is insulting and a horrible business practice. I gave them several tries but I am done. Have never had that problem at competitors. Just want to warn others to not waste their time. I have friends that this has happened to as well - staff clearly are trained to lie. Very poor management approach. Barbara read more

I have never actually purchased anything at this store, but have come to sell items twice now. The first time I sold a designer purse and I felt I received a very fair offer and left happy. The second time, I took a huge amount of clothes and shoes. They took some time to process my items so I looked around the store. VERY confused to see items from Target, Old Navy, JC Penney, Kohls, etc in a store that claims to resell high end items. If you are looking for Vera Bradley knock off bags, this is your store. Their designer clothing and shoe selection is really lacking but their designer bags are admittedly a great selection and price. When my offer was ready, they took about 2/3 of my clothes. While I understand that some of the items were probably not what they were looking for, they did not take 2 pairs of J Brand dark wash skinny jeans (?????) and proceeded to offer me $9 for a pair of unworn, in the box pair of Ecco boots. $9 for a pair of $200 boots. They use a computer system for all their offers, so I will definitely not blame the very nice and helpful girls working there. I would actually continue to buy and sell at clothes mentor, but ONLY bags. I will also echo other reviewers that this place has the "Goodwill" smell. read more
