I've been going to Dovetail Boutique Consignment since its initial opening. I absolutely love this consignment shop. Beautifully decorated!
Once a week, usually, I go there, as they always have new items, plus, their prices on items are respectfully honest.
After reading the negative reviews, I feel I should stand up for this beautiful consignment shop. The reason being I had my own business on the coast for five years.
I started out with all my own items. My mom who lived in Colorado would send me boxes of things to sell. She called them care packages and she never wanted a penny for them. The shop did fantastic in the beginning, but when I started doing consignment for people, I didn't realize how tough it was going to be. I was the only employee in the beginning and there were days, I was so exhausted that I had to close my shop on the days that I was open. That was the hardest part knowing I was disappointing customers. People would leave things outside in front of my shop door and some of it was trash. Yet, there were people who donated items they didn't want money for just to keep me going. These are memories I treasure.
I wish people would understand that we have a limited amount of shops like this in NAPA and they're all wonderful. And we have lots and lots of people who want to earn money on their items as times are hard- my point being on this is ..we are willing to get rid of and to let go of our items.
Yes, there were glitches in the beginning and ever since I have seen a 100% improvement in Dovetail Consignment Boutiques.
I have brought them hundreds and hundreds of feet of bubble wrap to help them package items that are precious to customers that they have purchased..
No one realizes that have never had a shop like this to understand how really, really tough it is and I think they have been vigilant in working out and correcting the issues and problems developing this wonderful store. It takes great patience, perseverance, blood sweat, and tears to meet the Public expectations and demands. I wish people were more patient and understanding. I will always support this shop. As well as the other's in shops in town. This comes from my heart and I wish the reviews weren't as negative as they've become because they don't deserve it. Thank you for reading this. I hope it helps the shop and the customers.. read more
