Cathie is awesome! Love this store and her service. My husband and I always stop in when we are in Monterey. Very organized store with quality items. Recently I needed a formal dress for a gala. I was showing my husband and said maybe I could get it taken in at home. Cathie said she'd do it for free and ship it to our home. It arrived within five days with a sweet note telling me to enjoy my event. It's pretty rare to get this level of customer service. I'm a fan of her and the store! read more

Went out of our way to stop here. Arrived around 3:20pm well before the 4pm closure time on Saturday May 24th and they were already closed. Extremely frustrating, had I known we would have kept driving and not detoured. read more

If I could give a lessor score than a one I absolutely would . As I approached my vehicle I watched as the owner of the store hit my vehicle with her car door and proceeded to blame me for parking in my location properly . Stating "if you don't want your car hit , don't park next to me ." Mind you I was already parked and watched her park next to my vehicle . She then began to yell she is a business owner and owns 5 parking spots (none of which I was parked in ) and proceeded to call me a pussy as she ran back into her shop never once apologizing for her hitting my car or the way she spoke to me . There are truly wonderful family owned businesses in Carmel & Monterey that would appreciate their customers on a much more human level . read more

Very clean, smells great, and the owner is friendly and professional. This is girl only clothes so nothing for me but the wife found some great stuff for an upcoming wedding. Both new and used clothing along with some vintage pieces. Don't miss it! read more

The owner was incredibly rude. I went in to bring a friend of the shop a morning coffee. I did not know food wasn't allowed. Owner let me know that my friend had just left so I offered the coffee to her, she scoffed at me, said no, and asked me to place my coffee elsewhere (totally ok,) except for the fact that she was on the floor talking to me with her mouthful and food all over her face. It didn't make sense. I told her my friend always speaks highly of the place, she looked at me with disdain, as if she doesn't like a member of the community who seems to support her. I decided to linger after some coats caught my eye, I found them overpriced. I kindly let her know this was my first consignment store visit and I asked her if it is common for prices to be at retail value. Genuine question. She was incredibly rude in her response and I found out later she had told others that I was rude to HER. The owner asked if I'm always "like that". Overall, her nature and body language was highly condescending. I was getting ready to a support a female owned business, I planned to invest in some of her expensive pieces but no longer. Word to the owner, Cathy: you never know who is who, who owns what, or who knows who in this small community. Will not be back. And will be spreading the word. read more

I am an avid Consignment shopper and Nice Consignment is by far one of the best shops in town. If you're looking for athletic wear, every day wear, formal gowns, wedding dresses, mother of the bride dresses, to vintage fur coats, Nice Consignment has it all! Price points are very reasonable and I shop there often and bring family and friends with me to introduce them to Kathy. She's a lovely lady and very easy to work with. She can also accommodate alterations if needed. Love her! Her selection of accessories and shoes are outstanding. Make the time to stop by and take a look around. She has wonderful treasures you didn't know you needed to add to your wardrobe. read more

A perfect shop for slightly used clothing for women. I have consigned with Nice twice and am very pleased with the shop, the layout of the goods and the staff. read more

More like NOTHING NICE CONSIGNMENT One of the worst experiences EVER. Got an estimate of $200 to alter 4 pairs of scrubs. After my boss and I thought the price was too steep we decided to go elsewhere; so I asked her to not start with the tailoring, then she proceeds to tell me she would charge a cancellation fee and a pinning fee ? So, had her do a pair of scrubs in order to avoid those costs which were never printed anywhere on any piece of paper or sign (feel like she just made them up) Once my scrubs were ready she was charging me $58 ...cash only. When I told her how I felt about the prices this is her reply... "wah wah wah"!???? LOL little did she know our office was going to send her all our employees to get their scrubs altered AND the person who had referred me to her had a falling out with her too. Not to mention, while I was there I liked this cute Kate spade purse until I looked at the tag- $300! Then I saw a coach keychain...$80 ! When at the coach outlet they're BRAND NEW-on sale for that price or 40-60$! Because I'm an avid coach shopper, I know my prices ...this lady is a rip off, rude and needs to retire- the name of this place needs to be changed to *NOTHING NICE * please read the rest of her horrible reviews. gross. Sorry for whoever needs to deal w her ! read more

I recently started shopping here since the spring after getting a new job. After being used to wearing jeans and t-shirts to works for 15 years and leggings and postpartum comfy clothes - the owner and employee helped me find better fitting and styled outfits for my postpartum season and new employer. I love that I can find high end items for a great value and still focusing on reducing the impact fashion has on the environment by buying second and even third hand here! read more

Nice Women's Consignment - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Monterey, California

What an unfriendly person who owns/runs this shop. I had a very poor experience. She was cold & put me off a few times. I brought a variety of clothes to consign. Casual tops, jeans, work out tops & bottoms & a few long dresses. All she would take the time to see were the dresses & tops. They were all spring/summer tops. Her bull crap line was all my clothes were too summery but yet a few she kept were sleeveless and left lightweight longer sleeved ones. Very confusing. I wanted to make appointment to bring in more fun spring evening tops/pants. Never let me finish my sentence. Told me to go fill out my contract. Didn't review it...no more conversation. I've always been complimented on my clothes & taste in style. She acted like they were all crap. Threw my unwanted clothes over a chair by the front door & all but asked me to leave. I will never do business with this absolutely disgusting, rude, cranky, condescending woman. Oh and by the way...she is so overpriced it's ridiculous. I'd like to use worse language to describe her but want to get my message out there. She is rude & always unfriendly to me. I'm done with her & will take my shopping elsewhere. There are plenty of other places to go. read more

Very shady business practices. The owner took a box of my designer clothes and I received zero money. Was told that checks would be sent to me upon items being sold but now the story changes saying I had to have requested it. This is NOT clearly stated in the contract. Do not consign here, you're better off throwing your designer clothes off at Goodwill so you can at least get a tax write off. read more

As I entered the store it was dark and almost wondered if it was opened for business. No one greeted me so I thought someone was in a back room. I began to look through the racks to make known I was in the store browsing. First of all, the clothes are described as high end?...well, I would say very few pieces besides the furs were "high end". The clothes didn't justify the pricing. Some Banana Republic sweaters priced at $49...hmmm...I could go get them brand new at the store. There were a couple things that were interesting but not tempting enough for me to give my hard earned coin. Don't try to barter there bc if you don't accept their price you walk out with cold rudeness from an older grey haired woman. Note to store... treat people with a sincere friendly manner whether they buy or not. No need to return. The negative reviews were spot on. read more

Selling: not so friendly, buying, very friendly. Prior to dropping off items, no issues with customer service. After dropping off, staff unhelpful and rude, lacking in decent communications. read more

Best consignment store in the area. Owner is pleasant and merchandise is upscale and well priced. read more

I was very pleased with the value the owner placed on the clothing items that I brought into her shop to cosign and will continue to frequent her conveniently located establishment to both sell and buy clothing. read more

I used to love this store until I walked in there today and was treated like a teen. I'm 52 years old and I was told I couldn't be on my phone and I wasn't told nicely. Maybe if she said it nicely I wouldn't have left so annoyed. I will never go back. Where are the nice ladies that used to work there? I have bought lots if cute things here, but I wont be treated like a kid in trouble for using my phone. Rude! read more

I have always loved the boutique and consider it a "must go to" for lovely seconds. I now find the store is too crowded to really appreciate each piece....almost overwhelming. Maybe a bigger location could be considered. When the owner compliments everything I put on, it doesn't seem sincere; more like a sales job. I hope my comments are taken seriously and not offensive. read more

Buyer and consigner, beware and avoid this store! The owner is extremely rude from start to finish. It was a very unpleasant experience. In addition, she only sold two of my items after telling me that I had beautiful items that would do well in her store. She requires consigners to bring items on hangers, yet returned them to me all shoved into garbage bags. I like to support local businesses but will not be frequenting or recommending this shop purely on the owners rudeness. read more

The best consignment shop. The items there are very carefully picked. Wonderful designers. And very appealing. Shop is always clean and in order. The best accounting system I have ever encountered. You always know the status of your account. Appointments are needed and while you are bringing in your items then you can shop for yourself. read more

This boutique is an absolute gem. Expertly curated and a range of pricing levels. Found an absolutely spectacular wool blazer on my first visit, and have my eye on one of the gorgeous winter coats. The heart of this wonderful place is the owner, Cathie. She knows clothing inside and out (a former seamstress!) and is extremely attuned her customers and what is not only fashionably current, but timelessly classic. She has been extremely helpful as well in helping me formulate outfits, as well as recommending spot-on wardrobe additions. Thank you Cathie for everything! Highly, highly recommended!!! read more

I walked in half an hour before closing on a Friday afternoon desperate for a specific type of dress for a formal wedding the next week. I easily found what I was looking for on the rack, then the owner, Cathy, found me the perfect pair of shoes and a purse, and arranged to hem the dress for me in time for the wedding. The atmosphere is friendly and positive. Nice! is the perfect consignment shop with carefully curated items in great condition, and set at affordable prices. read more

The lady was very rude and not friendly. She slammed the door when we left the store. Maybe because we were looking around and not buying anything. The items were too pricey. read more

This must be the old twice as nice consignment shop, not having been in there and years, I was quite surprised when I open the door and saw how lovely everything was displayed. The items seem to be of a much higher quality. Lots of designer stuff also has just a great selection of sunglasses.quite surprised been in there and years, I was quite surprised when I open the door and saw how lovely everything was displayed. The items seem to be of a much higher quality. Lots of designer stuff also has just a great selection of sunglasses. Also, they had some beautiful wedding dresses and furs and another fun thing other than their gobs of designer., was the fact they carried tiaras, if you are looking for a crown start here! also, they had some beautiful wedding dresses, furs and lots of designer clothes. I really liked that. The store was neatly displayed and everything was not shoved togeather made it much easier to shop. The Lady that worked there was so nice and was extremely helpful without being pushy When I go back I'm going to make a appt to consign some things read more

This is the very very best store around for great selection..fun finds!..and nice helpful owner/staff I always come away from here with brand name high quality things at unbelievable prices! read more

Great selection of fashionable items! Found a ton of things in great condition, and would love to come back next time I'm in the area. Definitely mid to high range in terms of pricing, but keep an eye out and you'll find some great deals. read more

Owner is not friendly or helpful - she acts like it is a big deal to help you - I probably would have taken her my high end items and bought more but she was unresponsive - read more

The best Consignment Boutique on the peninsula... Clean, smells nice, friendly service and consigner friendly.. meaning Nice! tries very hard to get good prices for her consigners as well as offer fair prices to shoppers. I have been to many other consignment stores on the Peninsula and Nice! by far is my favorite. When you walk in it does not even look like a consignment shop, it has a very boutique look and feel which i love and eveything is organized nicely so i don't feel as thought i have to dig endlesy through racks. Nice is a Treasure... read more

Kathy, the owner is a very brittle personality with zero consideration. Drove all the way from San Jose, showed up at the appointment time only to be turned away because I packed the clothing in bags. She was rude. Not communicative. Not courteous. She was that way from the beginning of our very brief association. I tried to get past that by being cheerful. A jerk is a jerk that just can't improve with kindness or courtesy. read more

I was very disappointed in the customer service at Nice. The owner wasn't "nice" at all. She was rude! She never stepped out from behind her the counter to help me. I had several items to try on and she didn't even set up a dressing room for me. I was looking for specific items and she just told me what rack to look at. A store owner should take the time to help a customer, not expect the customer to find things on their own. Also, this is a consignment shop, not full retail. Items are priced too high for used clothes. I walked out without purchasing anything. I will NEVER go there again! Nor will I recommend this store to my many friends who shop at consignment stores. The owner needs to take a good look at her poor business practices and make improvements. read more

Very clean shop. Great customer service. Love supporting local businesses. Great treasure finds. Wonderful boutique. Great merchandise. Good therapy shopping. read more

Rude, unfriendly, and dismissive - wouldn't try to consign here. I came in trying to sell some items and when asking questions about the process, the owner seemed the least interested in helping me - even though there was no one else in the store. Consignment is on an appointment only basis (which I didn't know) so I was quickly dismissed and sent away. Not kind nor helpful at all. read more

Stopped in on our way through town. The store is so neat and clean and the merchandise is organized and in excellent condition. I had questions about how to consign and the owner was so helpful! I think I will be doing business there in the weeks to come. Highly recommend a visit if you have not been there yet! read more

If there was a 0, option this would definitely get 0. Don't walk RUN! She's nice taking your stuff , but shes extremely rude and snobby. It's just a store, it's not like she's François-Henri Pinault( owner of Gucci) she needs to learn how to complete hang up & not talk badly about people that co sign with her. Multiple times I called and always rude, and one to many times I heard talking badly about me. Telling me I didn't know how to read a contract , excuse me I am not illiterate. Her contract says at anytime we can withdraw items. Doesn't go anything further in explaining but anytime you can request your items. Which I did when I called and she said she had no time because with a customer I told her I would go to the store and formally retrieve and she again very hostile and rude. I needed my stuff and I needed things to be done a diplomatic way. I called for a police escort to retrieve my items because at that point it's criminal charges for property theft I was going to file a civil court law suit if she didn't return my stuff. Even with the police involved she was very nasty , rude and spoke to me very unprofessional. Soo if you decide to sell your items to Cathie Young and she's making it difficult to get your stuff back or is rude I suggest you get a police escort to retrieve your items and you'll get them same day unless she changes her contract and goes more in depth explaining "at any time able to request items" read more

I love going to consignment stores, and this is as good as it gets! The mere fact that nearly all the clothing and shoes are of the higher end is a definite plus. I saw Michael Kors, and Manolo Blahnik shoes for heaven's sake. I've NEVER seen such high end in a consignment store. I feel their prices are very fair, and there is always a sale going on. The $5 rack in the back caught me eye, and my mom purchased a gorgeous jacket from Chico's and a hoodie from Hollister. She also got a sweater from Chaps. Three items for $20.43.....what a deal. There IS a rack in the back that is plus size, but from what I saw, the items were just ok, which is a shame, because I'm a plus size gal. Maybe I need to consign some of my stuff there. Hmmmm..... Overall I was extremely pleased, and will definitely be back. The reason I didn't rate this with 5 stars was due to customer service. The two women working there were just talking to one another, and basically ignoring us while doing our transaction. However, for such a great deal on what we purchased I can put up with some rudeness. read more

Five stars in my book for this consignment store. Lovely economical designer and trendy clothing. Large selection of shoes and jewelry. Everything is in clean condition. I came out with a bag of bargains, better prices than I usually find. The gal that worked there was so helpful and fun to talk fashion with. I am adding this to my list of "must" stops! read more

Really sweet staff and an impeccable selection. Definitely on the pricier side but the clothes are in great condition

Shopping here is a treasure hunt of lovely choices. I have sold some items at this store, and have purchased many more. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The choices abound in many sized, even have a few workout type items. They have a nice selection of designer brands as well as everyday styles. I'm you want to find a bargain that is clean, and not worn much, give this place a try. read more

I have shopped here a few times in the past. Once I found a pair of pants for $10.00. Overall, this is an average second hand store with a lot of crap you have to sift through. The boast here is the clothes are a "step-up" from the average second hand store. But it's not true. . Further, when I had something to sell, I called the store twice, left a message and asked for a return call to schedule an appointment. I never received a return call. This is not the way to run a business. You always return clients phone calls. So, to the lady who walked in with items and was "scolded" for not making an appointment I can say it wouldn't have mattered. Apparently the owner feels she has enough and doesn't need to be courteous to customers. A bit of snobbery here. Recap. Just average clothing with a lot of junk to sift through. Poorly run business when phone calls are not returned. In a well run business you ALWAYS return clients phone calls. They are your bread and butter. You can probably do better at other consignment stores. read more

I love this place!! Even if you aren't looking for something specific, you'll find something you have to have. It's easy to walk around, the racks are simple and flow nicely, and the dressing rooms are spacious and room to move about. No pressure sales from the staff, they let you browse quietly and are helpful when you need it. I love to spend an afternoon taking my time looking through what might be a great gift or what I can add to my personal wardrobe. A great selection of accessories, and when that perfect "thing" catches my eye, I take it to the counter. But, I'm also a gal who loves a great deal and you can really find quality at a fantastic price. I don't shop at regular retail shops very much and prefer to find a personal piece that fits my lifestyle, and this little boutique has it all. If you don't find it that day, wait a couple of weeks and try again. The owner knows what we gals like and are looking for. It's a fun way to spend and afternoon, take a friend and play dress up!! read more
