They're always so friendly, welcoming, and willing to help me find exactly what I'm looking for. They never make me feel rushed and always go the extra mile to help. Their kindness and excellent customer service are a big reason I keep coming back. The store is organized, the selection is great, and the staff truly make the shopping experience enjoyable. Thank you, Ava, Jen, and Amber, for always being so helpful and making every visit a positive one. You all deserve the recognition!

I used to come in here often but today I am appalled and won't be returning…read more I had a pile of dresses to try on in my hand and the OWNER followed me to my dressing room and made a comment "that's a lot of stuff" and asked how many items I had. She proceeded to not ask anyone else at all in the store who tried on clothes how many items, make any remark to them or FOLLOW them to the dressing room. I wanted to walk out but because I had a credit I proceeded to try on the clothes but I am so appalled mind you I just look like a mom who left the house in a rush so I am just so taken back by the discrimination. Be better!

I've been there quite a few times but hadn't had a chance to come to Inspired. When I went they had a sale where all clothing was $5. The sales clerk was very helpful with pointing out the price of other items in the store as well - scarves, jewelry, bags - as everything was on special discount. I love the way they curate their selections. I found a couple of shirts in the men's section that I liked. Everything here is new or like new. And they often carry designer clothing. I had a great experience shopping in this store and I'll be back in the future!

That's where I was headed when I found this place last week. We went in, and its very nicely decorated and has a lot of fun stuff. Tried on a few things, and ended up buying three items, and spent about $50. The employees were very nice and helpful. The problem I have, is after going to the thrift store, and not finding anything, and walking around a couple times just looking at items... we left. We walked back to the car, and what I can figure is the owner as all questions go to him, break schedules are told by him, etc. he walked out behind us and followed us giving us the side eye in my car. I have spent money at both locations, but my friend and I looked at each other after this like wait, really? It was extremely odd and uncomfortable and honestly offensive. I will take my actual business elsewhere as it seems we gave you reason to feel we were suspicious. Which, I am really trying to figure out why.

I'm more a size 5 or 7, but FYI, if you're 'rexic and on a budget, this is your spot - no other thrift store has more couture/top brand size 0's for around $5 I'd like to personally thank the anonymous angel who donated the gorgeous near new cashmere sweaters, Blue Asphalt denim, Roc & Republic jeans, Love Fire moto slacks, Volcom shorts, and Sonük's (like Tom's)!! You rock stylie lady with the mysteriously identical body, wherever you are!! I had to subtract 1for no dressing rooms. So if you check this place out for clothes you'll need to be ok with trying anything on over your clothes in front of anyone walking by. Wear slick yoga pants and flip flops to make it easier. Extra points to the two employees working when I was there. They'd recently changed their store hours but hadn't updated it online so they'd let me stay later in kindness for it.

You gotta come in here and check this place out. The decor is photo worthy when I went on a Monday during the holiday. It wasn't that packed but the location that it resides in is always full of people during the weekend so it is pretty busy. This place is upstairs and some people may overlook this building just because it's upstairs go have a look you might find some treasure. The people here are pretty cool too. I was greeted when I walked in. I didn't buy anything but they did have some cool stuff.

I tried going to this place once when it was located in Capo Beach some time back. At that time, I…read morefound the clothes to be very overpriced and worn out and, in some cases more than the same thing new. Then I found out they are all there on consignment, and the owner, a very nasty female, taking exorbitant commissions as her 'fee.' So the other day I was in SC and so I popped in and brought home some used garments in my size. (Still overpriced I see). After wearing a shirt from them, I got the most awful rash of my life and had go to my derm doc, taking the garment with me and found out the garment was loaded with something akin to bed bugs and they bit me all to heck and back. I had to take medicine to get over it and it took over two weeks to resolve. When I asked the owner for a refund, (very nasty lady, did I mention that, rude and condescending), telling her what happened, she flatly refused and so I ended up throwing the garment away! Awful place. Awful owner. Check her other reviews - she was asked to leave Capo Beach by the city of Dana Point and had awful reviews from many people in Dana Point so she fled. STAY AWAY!!

Decided to give it a second chance and go in with a friend, they have a huge inventory and lots of cute things! I found a scarf I really liked but it didn't have a price tag on it so I went to the counter and I'm guessing from previous reviews was the owner. She told me $60 because it was silk but the tag said it was a polyester blend..... could get a silk scarf for $20 from another store on Del Mar.

Thrifting with friends while camping nearby. We found a street with a handful of thrift stores on…read morethe same stretch, perfect for our little thrifting outing. This store is the sister store to La Tienda Thrift one building over. As you enter the store you will find clothing racks lined on each side. On top of the racks shoes are displaced on top. I bypassed the clothing so I forgot to check the pricing of the merchandise. I headed downstairs where you will find furniture, houseware, books and some radio, speakers etc... I was looking for some glassware to use for water storage when I do my watercolors. But, instead I found some small red/orange bowls I will keep in my camping trailer along with a nice medium size mixing/serving bowl. That will stay in my trailer as well. The price for those items were extremely reasonable! $1 for the small crate and barrel bowl and $3 for the mixing/serving bowl! I noticed that in thrift stores we visited the houseware were very economical! The service was very friendly and welcoming. Parking is a big issue down this entire street. Some of street parking has a two hour time limit. Some of the business don't have their own designated parking.

Pictures will verify this! Looking at some of the prices, I was surprised to see hundred dollar items, that should be (in my opinion) half of what they're asking. Many thrift shops have discount days, or colored price tags, for special special days where things are discounted. Sometimes there are dates on the pricing, and at the end of the month things are majorly reduced. I didn't find anything signage wise that indicated that the prices may change. Finally, after 15 minutes, the gentleman that also seems to be monitoring the door that's facing the register, acknowledged me. But he didn't ask if I'm looking for anything in particular. I usually appreciate it when they do because I did have some things in mind such as a vintage rain lamp, (it's an item from the 70s that one would put mineral oil in it and it would look like droplets of rain falling down) Haven't seen one for sale in a while.
