This store really gets me excited about fashion. The owner and store associates are cordial and have great outfits. The selection is really good for women's dresses in the front area and also in the back there is wall of shoes and bags at a good value like Coach brand and others Ive never heard of but seem like they are goodies brought home from European vacations. The store is super organized and feels like a new clothing store rather than consignment. read more

Great service and selection of clothing. Very clean and well organized second hand clothing and accessories!

laura Jean's has beautiful designer items. The ladies are attentive, down-to-earth, and not overbearing. It is the one place I visit every single time I'm in Sarasota. read more

Laura Jean's For many years, I've been fortunate to shop at Laura Jean's. It's my go to place to find unusual women's clothing and accessories. Their selection is eclectic and is always in mint condition. The beauty of shopping there comes from the items that our many tourists leave behind, often from their hometowns, as well as our folks that relocate here. The designer racks are perfect for special occasions at affordable prices. The staff's so friendly and will make sure you find what you need. Don't let the size of the shop fool you, it's loaded with goodies, some new and many slightly used. And, don't miss their Girls Night Out, I've heard they are a blast. One of these days I hope I will be able to go to one. read more

Prices are really high for items but when you consign with them the payout is basically nothing. I'd call and they would keep asking to hold my stuff longer to try and sell it which didn't happen. Took them a $600 ball gown that they didn't sell and after picking it back up there were multiple tears in the tulle that weren't there when they accepted it. Another expensive dress was returned to me with a run down the front that wasn't there before. For a place so picky and meticulous about what they accept to consign they do not take care of your items and didn't even mention to me they were being returned to me flawed. Would not recommend unless you don't care and were just planning to donate the items anyway read more

What a lovely shop with very attentive staff members! This clothing consignment store is very well organized and well priced.

Owner was super nice and had such cute clothes! Everything is clean and very well organized. Definitely worth a visit !

I really enjoy the variety offered in this resale shop. I've been coming here for years and always enjoy rummaging through the designer racks of clothing, looking for that perfect find. The store is neat and clean with a friendly atmosphere. I've consigned many items here as well as purchasing them. I highly recommend Laura Jeans Consignment for reasonably priced, current upscale fashion. read more

I have found some great items here ! Lots with tags !!! Staff is always helpful and I love that every time I go they have lots of new items to shop. Lots of designer items at fabulous prices read more

Great place with fabulous clothes and prices!!! I like to go there at least once or twice a month.I always find some gems. It is nice find all your fashion needs under one roof. read more

I don't understand the number one rating of this store. My sister has consigned with this place and is always sorry - they are understandably careful when taking in items but the way they reject your pieces is inconsistent. They have told my sister that certain items are not fashionable or are something they don't take and then we find similar if not the same things on their racks! One of her consigned items was never sold and they told her they had returned it to her. They had not. Makes you wonder if you are getting the correct amount for your sold items. Also, the prices on some of the designer handbags and shoes seemed high - who is making the decision whether the designer piece is authentic? Some designer bags with very high prices seemed questionable. Especially when we noticed all of the obvious knock-off designer pieces for sale. All in all, I'd give this place a miss. read more

Laura Jean's is as good as it gets--it's everything you could want from a women's clothing consignment store, and more. I've been on a "consignment kick" lately--and I've made it a mission to check out several consignment stores in the Tampa Bay and Sarasota area. No doubt, Laura Jean's stands out from the rest. Located in a strip mall on S Tuttle Ave, LJ's has been a Sarasota favorite for many years. High quality clothing, reasonable prices, great sales, and a friendly staff, all contribute to the pleasant environment. I've both consigned with, and shopped at, Laura Jean's. Although they can sometimes be picky about the clothing they're willing to take (brands, condition, etc.)--it's for good reason. And as a shopper, I certainly appreciate the high standard that's upheld throughout the store's inventory. Even so, I've received a decent amount of money from my sold clothes--and I've often recycled it right back into a purchase (oops!). Laura Jean's feels much more like a boutique than it does a thrift store. Between the shop's helpful and friendly staff, the cleanliness, and the thoughtfully planned layout--I simply enjoy stepping foot into the store. And the finds. I took my mom here a few months ago, and she scored a GORGEOUS, light blue, leather Prada jacket for less than $250! Personally, I've scored a Theory blazer for $20, BCBG lace pants/leggings, a Sachin + Babi top, and a few more items--all for a fraction of their MSRP. Good consignment stores make me never want to shop anywhere else again! If you're looking for designer fashions and unique finds for a fraction of the cost, check out Laura Jean's in Sarasota. As far as consignment stores in the area go, it's certainly one not to miss! :) read more

This is the nicest consignment shop I've seen in awhile. I stopped in on a whim because they had these gorgeous rose gold and pearl hoop earrings in the window that I just HAD to have. They had a fantastic selection of bags and clothing! The sales girl right at the front was super helpful and immediately informed me of the sale they were having. One of the owners rang me up and informed me they have been in business for 30 years. I will be going out of my way, but still cannot wait to go back when I have time to actually shop. read more

Have been frequenting this youthful consignment shop for last 4 years. Good selection of all sizes. Items clean but still important to check each piece as occasional blemished piece. Reasonably priced costume jewelry with exception of featured artist jewelry. Not certain of return policy as itemized receipt not given. Management and employees super helpful. read more

My favorite store in Sarasota to shop unique clothing and awesome brands at amazing prices. Family-run and operated by Lindsey McDaniel, the place is always clean and so well organized. I can promise it's one of the nicest consignment shops you'll ever experience. Stop by to score some great new jewels or a holiday outfit - or something to change up your wardrobe. They are particular about the clothes and brands they accept. You'll notice when you shop. Most everyday brands like Old Navy won't be found here. Think trendy and high fashion and great quality, unique items. #shopsarasota #sarasotashops #laurajeansconsignments #sarasotastyle #sarasotaconsignment #salaciasalts #luxurybrandssarasota read more

I love this shop! I always get a nice piece at a good price. I also consign here. They usually only take a few pieces, which is ok, I get that they need to maintain a certain level of quality and brands. This is the best consignment store in SRQ! read more

Laura Jean's made my day and then some. They carry a lot of high-end fashion including accessories such as unique purses, shoes and jewelry. I've had my sites on buying a Louis Vuitton bag for some time now and this was my lucky day. It's my understanding that they cycle through a lot of designer hand bags, so I guess this would be a good place to not only consider buying a lux bag, but also consigning one. Lindsey took a lot of time to go over the detail of the bag I had my eye on as well as educate me on my potential investment. She really knew her bags and I felt very comfortable working with her. This store has been around for a long time and is established. The next time I'm in the area, I will absolutely stopping at Laura Jean's. I love my, 'new to me' gently used LV bag and appreciate the service Lindsey and her staff provided! read more

No receipts, no documentation, not computer automated, pays when she wants, what she wants, if you question, owner goes ballistic! Consign at your own risk. read more

Nice Consignment shop Management needs some attitude adjustment. Not friendly. This is not Saks or Bloomingdales. It is a USED clothing store. I brought things in to consign and it was ok that they turned them down, but they could have done that in a much nicer way. They act as if they are on Fifth Avenue. Hello! It is in a not very upscale strip mall. Don't even care if my things that they DID accept sold. Don't like the whole atmosphere. Went to another MUCH nicer consignment shop downtown and had a lovely experience. Friendly, helpful and can't wait to go back. read more

Laura Jean's is a gem. It's clean, inviting, well-organized, and grouped by size and category (evening wear, casual tops, jackets, dresses). A two-sided rack of designer jeans (Rock and Republic, Joe's, Seven, Tahari, Chip and Pepper, Paper Denim & Cloth, etc.) is reasonably priced - $49 to $59 per pair. There are designer handbags and knock-offs, and a few cases of jewelery and accessories.. Prices are unbeatable! read more

Never once have I not found exactly what I was looking for when I was in need. Friendly helpful staff and great prices.

Ok, I'm guessing a tiny store such as yours doesn't have permission from Tiffany nor Michael K. or any of the other brands I saw there being sold for under $20 or $30? They sure weren't there on consignment!! Unless your dealing with a distributor of fake items. Maybe that's the case? Either way just in case you weren't aware even if you mark the merchandise as fake, it's still very ILLEGAL FOR YOU TO SELL!! I don't know how you could even try to defend what your doing. I hope your making a big commissions from your fake merchandise sales!! Now that leads me to believe that everything in your store could be a knock-off. Who's to know the difference? I'm talking about the clothing now. I'm sure anyone could tell the jewelry & glasses u sale are fakes, I'd hope? Because you sure don't have anything marked saying they're fake & I've been there several times, just to double check for myself. I can't believe your still in business. Maybe u have a great idea? If you can get by with it, go for it. That's just not my cup of tea. Have a great day!! read more

High end fashion and fair prices - Very clean, well organized and the styles are current.

I never know what great fashion find I will encounter here. I always stop in while running errands to see what I'll discover. Great place to take in you lightly used items too! read more

Laura jeans is my favorite place to shop! It's like going into my best friends closet and finding amazing deals. I always leave with a new wardrobe that costs me a fraction of what it would in boutiques. Lots of designer labels. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I can't say enough wonderful things about Laura jeans! read more

Great place, fabulous selection. So glad we stopped by while we were on vacation. Definitely heading back to see what else will find a home in my closet. read more

I brought in clothes to be consigned, two bags to be exact, of designer clothing. They could not have been more snobby about taking my clothes and what to do with them when I did want to consign them and bring them in. One of the girls wouldn't even look at me or give me the time a day and the other one was put out by the fact that she had to explain to me about their consignment policy. I used to frequent their shop when it was owned by somebody else. Now I will never go back there again as long as they are snobby, unpleasant and more interested in talking about what they're going to wear on the beach that night than their customers and customer service. There are many others in the area to choose from. Go there! read more

Best consignment shop I've been to! They are particular what they take but that's what makes them amazing! Their clothing is top notch! Consigning with them is very easy as well! They are fair with their pricing and have quick turn over! Staff is always so helpful and fun! 10/10 and DEF recommend LJ's!! read more

A good store. I have found some nice dresses. It is hit or miss and there are a lot of clothes for older ladies. I would like I see more clothes for women in their 20's and 30's. My mom really likes this store. read more

Best Consignment shop in Sarasota Florida hands down! You'll never run into a problem and the customer service is beyond perfect!

A friend, who moved back North, left a lot of quality, designer clothes with me, which I'd offered to take to a consignment store on her behalf. Laura Jean's wasn't my first choice - Susan's was, but sadly they closed. However, I knew Laura Jean's generally had good brands, and also some unique vintage pieces, so I believed that they would welcome the little black Calvin Klein dress, unworn still with the tag on, along with a number of other new items; including Talbot and Michael Kors. There were 3 adorable clutch purses too. Unable to go to the store myself, my aide took the clothing in today, but was told by the young clerk, who obviously wouldn't know quality clothing if it got up and hit her, refused every single item. She complained they were "wrinkled" (they had been in a bag, but we put them on hangars, and a day of being on a rack would have taken care of that). She also said they were too "old-fashioned" Clearly, she is clueless about the timelessness of good quality clothing. When I'm able to get out and about again, I will make sure to never shop at Laura Jean's again, and they certainly don't deserve my friend's business either. read more

A friend introduced me to this hidden Little gem. I found a true religion jeans jacket -worth $200 for $30 in here. I couldn't believe the selection and the quality of the clothing. The staff is very helpful and readily visibl- and available. The store is very clean and organized. read more

Laura Jean's USED to be a gem, although the one on 17th Street has mostly junky clothes. Tried the one on Bee Ridge and I am sorry. Extremely unpleasant experience and owner. I had read online that many people wasted their time by taking clothes to this store to sell on consignment. So I called and asked them what they accepted before trekking over. The woman on the phone told me "mall clothes" such as Banana Republic, NY&Co., etc. She also told me that everything had to be laundered and ironed on a hanger. So, I spent an ENTIRE day ironing and hanging 40 pieces to take to the store that was 1/2 hour away. When I got there they showed me where to hang them and I proceeded to make 4 trips to my car with heavy clothes. When I brought the final ten, the lady, who was rather rude, turned to me and said--we cannot use any of these. She didn't even look at them all--maybe one or two! Some were brand new from Saks and Bloomingdale's. When I told her that, she grilled me (yes GRILLED me--saying did you buy it in the last two years? Some were, but she insisted they were not! Said they only wanted the latest styles. Now this is truly funny, because as I looked around the store, there was a lot of very "tired" looking clothes. I saw old faded "mom" jeans on a rack of denim. These are the newest styles? I saw lots of clothes and jewelry that frankly looked like junk. They should have said on the phone--we only take clothes bought in the last two years, but the THEY DID NOT. And looking around the store, there is no way those clothes were only bought in the last two years. The jewelry is like Kmart or Target jewelry. This place is running on fumes from when it was a good store. A TOTAL waste of time an energy. read more

This place is fantastic! I have been to all the consignment stores in town and just had not been all that impressed - then I went here and was greeted warmly, an associate took my clothes to the fitting room for me, and the woman who rang up my purchase was so helpful and cheerful. There is a little bit of everything there - from high end to mid-range, and the prices are fair. Will be back :0) read more

Maybe I hit it on a bad day but thought the prices and selection only fair, for used clothing. Lots of high-end, but think I could do better at Macy's sales! read more

Stopped in to Laura Jean's today and was pleasantly surprised. Found several Chico's items that I love and prices are terrific. Staff super, too. If you follow this store on Facebook, there are even more discounts periodically available. Don't miss my California stores anymore! read more

I will never return to this place. The customer service is horrible and the selection is even worse. I've found better merchandise and been treated better at Goodwill, which is pretty sad. read more
