Review as a customer (not a seller)!…read more
I love consignment shops. As a graduate student/Adjunct Professor, I highly value them. I need to dress professional, yet trendy, and feel good in the clothing I wear. I'm a huge fan of quality over quantity, so I have certain brands that I love...but don't put a huge DENT in my wallet...or more like hole in my purse hahaha.
Greene Street to the rescue my lady friends! Sorry, gentleman. This is a girls only club. ;) Perhaps you can shop for your wife, girl friend, sister, daughter, etc., though :)
Clothing selection is fantastic. I've gotten several skirts and tops and dresses here. Brands such as Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor the Loft, Lord and Taylor, J-Crew, Banana Republic, etc.
Prices are unbeatable. I've gotten tops from 10 to 12 dollars and skirts from 10 to 20... all which you would find in the Loft for hmm 60 to 80 dollars. The price difference is unbelievable.
The thing about consignment shops is DO NOT let the fact that this is used clothing prevent you from browsing. Most of the clothes look like they have never been worn. I get the feeling that many people purchase items, don't like them, never wear them, and in return off to the consignment shop to resell.... and in return people like me get them at great prices and look all fancy! tee hee!
They have dressing rooms in the back. Nice and roomy. No one is pressuring you to hurry it up, so to speak.
All unwanted items are placed neatly on the wrack outside... I never walk into a dressing room with clothes piled all over the floor.
Dresses, skirts, tops, pants, are all organized in each isle, by size. Don't miss the clearance wrack!!!! Shoes and purses are also sold here! HUGE shoe selection... I haven't browsed it yet... next time!
My only reason for 4, not 5 stars, is two things. One, the store is a bit small. It is located in downtown Lambertville, so the space isn't something that you can really blame Greene Street for. Also, if you are a larger person, it will be hard to find your size or anything at all. Most of the clothing range from XS to L, but even the large seems to be a medium. My mom isn't a very big woman but she has never found anything here. You really need to hunt for the larger sizes if they exist.
Luckily, I'm short and I wear sizes from extra small, to small, and from 2-4. I'd say, if you are a size 0 to 8, you will definitely find some nice clothing here.
The owners/staff are friendly, but not overwhelming friendly. That's also a meh. I have a favorite consignment shop closer to where I live and the owners are just fantastic. Don't get me wrong, the staff here is friendly. They just aren't warm and fuzzy.
Overall, though, for a shopper such as myself, you can't beat the price for the quality of clothing. They earn 4 stars because that meet my needs and my wardrobe from this store is growing and LASTS! Quality. I've gotten so many compliments on skirts and stops from this place, too. I'll be back for sure, again! ha!
