Such a unique thrift store…read more The Exchange is located on Orcas Island. It's not far from the ferry drop off, and an easy pitstop when your driving towards East Sound. This warehouse is filled with two-stories of second-hand goodies from the island. You'll find a large selection of kitchen gear, board games, winter items, and lightly-used treasures. They've done a great job separating each of the spaces, making individualized rooms and isles to showcase different categories of goods. There's a large space upstairs for all their outdoor and sports gear. I even saw a number of skis, boots, poles, and jackets that instantly caught my attention! The team here is incredibly kind and will help you hunt through their many isles for the perfect find.

Very helpful staff. Pricing is on the wall and is determined at the counter. Very cool concept! Non…read moreprofit up cycling facility!

It was ugly, but it would work. Disappointing that they aren't inclusive of body types larger than a large. I put on the suit right before we had to leave. Felt something hard inside, thought it was a weird tag or something. With. My. Fingers! I pulled out 2! Pieces of hard shit! I immediately took it off, and there were 2 shit stains! The store didn't wash their clothes!! This is the most disgusting thing ever, and I have traveled all over and backpacked. Shame on them for not washing their shit, but double shame on me for not looking at the crotch . They need to wash everything they get in that store. Especially the swimsuits!!! So upsetting! Worse of all, I showed my friend the ugly suit. I didn't even see the stain in the picture, and she did!

Was just thinking about this place, because I am planning another pilgrimage to Orcas. I have…read morepretty much decided to not take any clothes except what I wear and maybe some underwear, and to buy what clothes I need at Aurora! Then at the end of my stay I'll consign them all back or give them away! Anyway, Aurora is a great consignment shop with lots of relaxed styles I don't see as much here on the East Coast. Nothing like a cozy chamois shirt or some nice broken-in jeans to enhance the island feel. She has lots of nicer things too, of course. See you soon, Aurora! I'll post again to let you know how my clothes "rental" scheme worked out.

The store offers a nice selection of women's clothing, accessories, jewelry and some gift items. We took our time browsing through the store since there was so much to see.

I heard her tell a customer the lines on a top she had tried on were wrong for her body type. She brought a different top and wow what a difference. From frumpy to elegant. The fashions are surprisingly forward, too. I bought jeans two years ago there I saw this year in a Neiman's catalogue. A great experience. Go.

There for 30 secs and my 7 yo nephew was looking at some crystals and picked one. As he browsed the store, the woman, very rudely, told my nephew to put the crystals on the counter if he "was gunna buy it". We were so thrown off with her demeanor, we started to put the items we chose back, and made the comment that we weren't buying items from someone so rude. She then said that my little nephew was trying to steal from her! So upsetting. Made my nephew cry. Would never recommend spending any money in this ladies store. We found out later that she was the owner when we spoke to another store owner. The place is trash and so is the ownership.

Each item tells a story - from clothing to jewelry pieces to lotions and creams. They also carry a wide selection of geodes, abalone, beaded pouches and purses, and soy candles. When we walked in the owners were hanging stuff and placing new inventory so it was a bit difficult navigating the store. Maybe we'll return next time.

I said, "no, thank you, I'll just wait." The two dressing rooms were almost done and I was next. She came back by and made a rude comment. I asked her if it was not okay that I was standing there waiting. She said that I was loitering like standing over someone's table at a restaurant. Other women looked at me like - wow - I can't believe she said that. I felt so uncomfortable I quietly hung my items back up and walked out as did my friend. I looked back and she gave me a snarky wave like bye bye - can't wait for you to go. I am a quiet respectful person. I turned and said, "You are so rude." And she said "you made everyone uncomfortable around you." I said, "The only one uncomfortable was you." I am still shocked. If she hadn't wanted me waiting back there where there was plenty of room in a room with 2 private spaces, then she should have said that initially. The whole thing was so bizarre. And her behavior towards me was shockingly rude. I left shaking. I hope that wasn't the owner and the owner sees this.
