I was recommended to take my nice clothing to Sassys Consignment in Sylva and after having a…read moreterrible experience at Victoria's closet in Cashiers I decided to take a chance. I called and set up an appointment and showed up with my items. I thought everything was going well until it appeared that the lady was not interested in any of my clothing. I had two bags of very nice dresses some with tags on them from JCPenneys and Dress Barn. From the very beginning it started off with they don't take wrinkled clothes yet all my dresses were nicely placed in the bags folded in half, then it was we need the clothes to be in a bin, then we aren't taking size 10's and at this point I was feeling the same affect that I felt as I did at Victoria's closet with Linda where I literally stormed out of the their store because she treated my clothes/shoes like they were garbage. But with Victoria's closet she didn't care that the clothes were in a bag, didn't care about the size or it they were not pressed. It was we don't accept clothes from JC Penney's or Dress Barn, finding a tiny spot on a brand new pair of shoes that were never worn and made me feel worthless. I explained that I worked for the Federal Government in Washington DC and after retiring I am trying to find a place to give my clothing too not asking for any money and both stores told me they couldn't accept them. I had no intention of writing this review until I was talking to several women that I know and they mentioned they take their items to Sassy's in Sylva and Victoria's closet in Cashiers and they were shocked to hear about the experience that I had. They told me that they take their items in bags, they don't inspect them or check to see if they are pressed and drop them off with no problem(s). When I left Sassy's I had the same feeling that I did when I left Victoria's closet in Cashiers...belittled making me feel like my clothes were not worth anything. My clothes were extremely nice and I didn't want any money for them at all. I've never lived in a small town like Sylva, Cullowhee or other areas around here and have never experienced this terrible treatment as I did at these two Consignments stores. Most stores would be more than happy to accept them as I know there are women that would gladly enjoy these clothes. I have decided that I will take my nice gently used clothing which I have quite a bit of to a thrift store or a place for battered women in VA where I lived for many years and I will not receive the terrible treatment as I did at Victoria's closet and Sassy's consignment!

I have some mixed feelings about this spot. My first visit I…read moredid find some cute clothes but I overpaid for those used items. I did not find anything under $10.95- and I was picking out some pretty basic shirts for that price. As far as I know they do not do the color coded percentage off that most stores do. I did try to consign a few items but it was all denied due to wear- as in Jessica Simpson distressed boyfriend jeans were too worn. I guess if you're looking for a $300 coach bag and want to pay $150, then this could be your spot. My money could go further at other consignments in the area so I won't go out of my way to go back.

It doesn't have the thrift feel very much at all. It has very nice clothing, shoes, and accessories. A back room with housewares and linens, books, games, seasonal, and small appliances. I have found several great deals on some older collectibles. They also have a display case with some very special finds and jewelry. The clothing is so clean and in excellent condition. The entire setup is very well organized and neat. I recommend this location. They also have a "punch card" for frequent buyers. Come check them out for sure! *I don't not think that they have public restrooms

TBC is a thrift store that supports women with problems- whether it be substance abuse, past…read morefamilial abuse, or emotional issues. I love the fact that its focus is women. TBC has petite to plus sizes for women and juniors. Clothes are arranged by category and size. I saw beautiful stuff! Make sure to check your picks before purchase. You can try them on in the bathroom/dressing room. Do not let that turn you off- it is very clean. TBC also has shoes, scarves, jewelry, belts, bags, and a smaller room dedicated to knickknacks, men's clothing, and books. My husband found a nice pair of Haggar pants for one buck, yes one buck! Ronni found a "Betty and Veronica" mini-comic. The volunteer there was very sweet. She told us that anything with an "April" tag was one buck. We went at the very end of May, and of course I was picking stuff with "June" tags. Thus, we spent three bucks per item. I like this place, as I can just focus on myself and my older daughter. It is not huge. It is not overwhelming. Donations are accepted whenever the store is open. I saw at least eight filled kitchen-sized trash bags that someone had dropped off, so keep that in mind. Donations are tax deductible. Volunteers are always needed. Check out their Facebook page to see their stuff. If you go, they are in the West Sylva plaza, right near "Harold's". Monday through Friday: ten to five; Saturday: ten to three. Sunday is a day of rest. Go to support female empowerment!
