For those looking for (relative) bargains on beautiful high end furniture, lighting and decor, this…read moreis an excellent choice. The Velvet Shoestring accepts consignments on high quality pre-owned modern, vintage and antique items - think Waterford, Herend, Herman Miller. Pricing changes based on the time an item is available, dropping every 30 days. This is noted on the tag so if, say, you want something but don't want to pay the current price you can take your chances that it won't sell by the time the price drops. When I say something is a relative bargain, I mean they Eden at the most reduced price you will not find a Tiffany lamp for $5. Consider that the lamp was, let's say, $900 new, they might price it at $400 to start and it's still a good price for what it is. They don't negotiate beyond the tag. Staff are minimal and unobtrusive. You're generally left to wander the two floors (main floor, lower floor) to your hearts content. It's a lovely store that I enjoy visiting every few weeks to see what's new and what I might want - the other day I bought the stained glass lamp in one of the photos. I love it.

So, shoppers beware & check out everything before. Seems like quality isn't a given.

As you can guess, I am an avid thrift shopper. And with experienced thrifting comes expectations…read more This store did not meet my expectations. I haven't been here in years, but since I was in the area, I figured 'Hey, why not?". The moment I entered the door, the older lady working the counter gave me a dirty look, including a once-over like she was better than me or something. Not cool. But, brushing it off, I decided I still wanted to visit their infamous "Dollar Room". I found a cute pair of white cutoff shorts with a dark blue nautical anchor pattern on them for one dollar! Of course, when I went up to the counter with the shorts, the lady tried to make nice with me by discussing what a great find they were, but I just smiled, paid, and left. The jewelry in the other room was so-so, and the prices were normal for main line thrift stores. (Too high for my taste though!) I didn't even look upstairs so I don't know what else they had. Maybe someone else will brave the beast at the front desk and check out the stuff upstairs. I just didn't have the patience to play nice with a snob,

I really wanted to like this place! I'm a frequent thrifter, and I love when the proceeds benefit a…read moregood cause. But here were some of the issues I encountered: 1. Quality of the clothes (dirty/stained/major pilling or wear). This usually doesn't bother me at thrift stores since obviously the clothes are preowned, but I encountered SO MANY dirty, stained, pilling, super worn-out clothes. One white button-down from the Gap had huge, brownish armpit stains! Gross! The shoes were pretty dirty, too. And this ties in to the next issue-- 2. Pricing (too high considering the quality!) Clothes were obviously priced according to their brands rather than their condition. This makes sense...to a point. I get it. But selling a fleece jacket that is completely misshapen, faded, pilling, at the end of its usable life for $15 just because it is North Face seems wrong somehow. Most of the quality-brand clothes I saw (J. Crew, Anne Taylor, etc.) had such pilling and wear that the prices just didn't seem justified. 3. Rude staff. I don't have too much to say about this because I don't want to call anyone out--I get that it's a volunteer operation--but, seriously. The lady working there was just plain rude. 4. Counterfeit/fake items. I saw several fake handbags for sale. Their printed price tag for one of these actually said "Burberry handbag--fake." What??????? The real designer bags were locked up in a glass display case while several fakes were knowingly placed around the store. Selling counterfeit handbags is illegal. It's also tacky considering the emphasis on high-end brands. All in all too many cons for me. If they lowered their prices, were more discriminating with their stock, and worked on customer service that would make a big difference. If you decide to visit, make sure you're feeling patient and ready to hunt really hard for a good deal. And bring hand sanitizer! :)

This store has a boutiquey feel to it, like women's clothing stores used to have. It feels very…read moreupscale. The prices are reasonable for name brand clothing in pristine condition. They have shoes, bags, accessories, anything a gal needs in a wide range of sizes. In other words, it's not 10 year old Missoni in size 4 masquerading as a consignment shop (and I WORSHIP Missoni). If you are larger than a 10, you will find plenty of options here. There is also a small selection of men's clothing. Juniors or women who like to think they are juniors, this store is not for you. This is a shop for women who don't mind admitting they are over the age of majority. Clothes are arranged by type and by size, so if you're looking for a jacket, there is a section for jackets, skirts, etc. I was tempted by the most buttery soft ultra suede skirt in a light purple. But then I remembered, I'm only buying black and white anymore. I didn't rate this store higher because the sales clerk (who I know is not the owner) did not greet me or make any effort to engage me when I came into the store. In fact, it felt like she was avoiding me. When customers walk into a store, it's customary to say "hello, are you looking for something special"? Don't walk behind the counter as though I'm not there. I wasn't even rockin' the nose ring; but I'm not inclined to return when there are so many other options. ( As an aside, I've walked into Nordy's looking like crap on a tray and I've still gotten stellar customer service). Anyway, this store has very nice clothing and excellent prices, they also take plastic. Don't know what the return policy is, cause, well you know...I hope you have a better experience. 03/29/2011 I never mentioned children's clothing in this review. If you looked at my profile and reviews, you would know that I am not spamming. I write about my encounter with a business, which in this case was a departure from what I experienced from local consignment shops. It should also be noted that my review was complimentary of the store in general and the merchandise.

I've been going to Charmingly Linda's for quite some time now. They have a new location, so if…read moreyou've been a customer in the past, you might want to note the new address. I just happened to see the big consignment sign near the street on Lancaster Ave as I was driving by and I made a "U" turn. I didn't know it was Charmingly Linda's, but I'm glad I found it again. This is a nice store. It is not glamorous (though I think they are trying). The clothes are down to earth clothing, not much stuff for the younger crowd. Mostly they stock women's clothing, shoes, bags, accessories. They have a very small men's department. When I was there they had a huge selection of Vera Bradley bags. It is hit or miss. One thing many may not know is that Linda's husband sells things on E-bay. With the population aging, there are more and more people who need this service. I will go back from time to time cause I like to see what's there. I've gotten slacks, tops and a raincoat in the past. Best of luck thrifting.
