The record keeping of this clothing resale store is prehistoric and pretechnologic. Basically, there is no record keeping, and no receipts, leading to utter chaos. They lost an item I had brought in to consign, and after I had checked the shop three weeks in a row to search their inventory to try and locate the item in their store, the response from them was: we don't have time to look for your item - you must do it yourself. There was never any acceptance on their part of the fact that my item was lost by them, nor any apology. Their concession to this fiasco was to offer me a credit for what I would have received if they had actually sold the item, which they did not do. Not recommended for consigners!

You'll be super pleased with their selection; find things you love/ need/ must have; and it will be a cheerful experience. Scroll down to the numbered list below to see what I scored. The Longer Story: I had just moved to town for a six month artists' residency in Rockland and didn't know a soul. After a bit of unmotivated unpacking, I took myself thrift store shopping, as one does, for retail therapy to fill the void. Luckily for me, Curator was the first spot I hit because I met co-owner Ben, a deeply friendly and cheerful guy. I met his wife Emily on my second visit. She's equally friendly and cheerful. And luckily for you, me, and everyone else we know* that might like to shop at Curator, both Emily and Ben love what they do. It shows. Curator is a bi-level shop with "menswear" (plus shoes & accessories) on the top floor and womenswear (plus shoes & accessories) a floor below. It's a gorgeous spot so whilst you're totally focused on your sartorial fix, take a few minutes to notice the thoughtful experiential design of the space--a lil modern, a lil dreamy, and a lot of DIY mojo. The first time I popped in I had a proper look around in order to get familiar with the Curator edit lens. In doing so, I found a pair of brand new, black leather Swedish clogs, size 6, that almost fit, but really didn't. Ben commiserated with me but reminded that sometimes things don't work out and that's totally okay. You know what? This is #truth. In thrifting, specifically, but in life, generally. I have pretty specific aesthetic when I thrift/ vintage/ consignment shop: excellent textiles/ fabric; handmade beauty; strong shapes/ cuts/ tailoring/ weaves; classic designs but also, the super quirkier, the better. Curator earns high marks in all of my categories. This is pretty rare. What it means is that I knew I would find something each time I came in and that's exactly what happened. Here's what I acquired: 1) a lovely VINTAGE SILK SCARF, cut, repurposed, and hand-stitched from a muted, lustrous apple-green silk obi with tiny, stylized, watercolor cherry blossoms. It should be said that the silk is excellent quality--heavy but super supple. $16.00. I wouldn't blink paying 10x that amount for this in Brooklyn or Paris. 2) a luscious oversized "menswear" CABLED CREAM CASHMERE SWEATER. I literally walked into the store, said hello to Emily, looked at the mens' sweater rack, saw *my* sweater hanging there, and snagged it. I've worn it at least once a week for 10 weeks running. Bonus: it's got good gauge (number of stitches per inch) and ply (number of cashmere threads twisted together to make the yarn). $38.00 Buy vintage cashmere, ya'll, always. 3) a FUZZY WOOLEN BEANIE, knit moss, plum, garnet & deep peony, from Nepal. Gorgeous colors. Warm as hell. $13.00 4) a crazy beautiful HAND-KNITTED ART SWEATER, again "menswear" so sized a bit enormous, but seriously fluffy & so wild and otherworldly, it had to be mine. Again: walked in, looked to my right, saw the sweater. Bought it. This weave is a medley of pelucid blues w/ intricate cream & white dropped-stitch-knit technique that looks as if "snowflakes" are resting on the garment, for a moment, w/o melting. I wouldn't be surprised if the maker had been dropping acid whilst knitting this piece, just as Van Gogh imbibed generous quantities of absinthe to produce his signature hypnotic, ethereal yet muscular brushwork for "Starry Night." That. Trippy. Y'all. Emily, bless her, asked if I'd like to try it on (perhaps because of its size & erm...vibe) and I declined. I knew I'd find use for it. I have worn it once, to sit on my sofa and drink champagne while I FaceTimed-celebrated my best childhood friend, finally divorced, because that is how we show up for each other: in any all ways possible. When we meet up again IRL, I will give this sweater to him because he truly deserves life's best, which sometimes arrives in unexpected, sweater-form shapes. $42.00 I'll end by noting that one can find more traditional, excellent things at Curator as well, like vintage LL Bean Sweaters; vintage Carhartt; vintage work wear including lots of Levis denim; a Pucci silk frock; a number of excellent plaid and thick weight shirts; fine leather goods; vintage jewelry; woolen capes; disco spectacular sequined numbers; and vintage Ts in fine condition, etc. Go. Enjoy yourself. And before you do, check Curator's social to learn of their COVID-safety protocols. Should you prefer to shop from home, check their IG & website. I took a look recently and it's not as wow-ing an experience as being in the store itself but of course, as a treasure hunter, you already know that. *(Thanks, Miranda July, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_and_You_and_Everyone_We_Know)

Clean and organized aesthetic, so it's not overwhelming when you walk in like a lot of consignment shops are. And the racks aren't overflowing and hard to sift through... we love to see it.

The woman who checked me out was so nice and excited for my find. Great for validation if you need it lol. Will for sure recommend to any friends living in or visiting Rockland, Maine.

The worst by far was when my patient husband was browsing-while I was looking around -was obviously being followed, no matter where in the 2 rooms he walked. He has very dark skin and the lady following him was a blond (so am I) older lady and it was the most stereotypical racism. She never asked if he needed help or even smiled or tried to even act professional. My parents live nearby and we've been visiting them here the entire 20 yrs we've been married. This salesperson made him feel like a felon. He takes care of children who have cancer as his career but I guess they weren't interested in anything more than his skin color. I guess at least she has her job instead of his.

Great clothing for women sized 12 and grander!…read more We found this terrific store by following the little signs posted out on Rt 1 and what a pleasant surprise it is. It's located in an old house and the rooms full of clothes just keep on going and going and going. This is one of the largest collections of larger women's clothing I have ever seen in one place. Tons of clothing - tops, bottoms, sweaters, jackets, dresses, bathing suits, tshirts - as well as accessories. Unfortunately, I'm a tailored and starched kind of girl and the clothing here was more linen and unstructured for my taste. I bought a few gifts and enjoyed the stop. The storekeepers are pleasant and chatty and the patrons are a friendly bunch. For those wearing larger sizes, a must stop if you're in the area!
