It takes a lot of patience and a keen eye to find that perfect piece. Shopping at consignment shops might not be for everyone but fashion gets recycled and it is these places where you can find some of the original style from past decades. I once dated this rock-n-roll guy and every time I commented on his cool style he always said...I found it in a thrift or consignment store. I get giddy when I find a piece that fits my sense of style. Today was one of those days...a dark denim A-Line skirt with a zipper in the front. The only one hanging and in my size!! I also tried on a pink top that caught my eye but was hesitant until the cashier, Danni, said she liked it on me when she saw me trying it on. Sold! Everything is neatly sorted by size and different types of clothing. Ex: tops, shorts, jeans, pants, jackets, shoes, athletic wear, etc. Danni told me that the owner is very particular about accepting clothes that are in great condition only. There are always new pieces coming in every week and I look forward to dropping by again the next time I am in the area. I found the prices to be very reasonable. read more

Nice selection of once worn clothing. The selection of shoes clothes, jackets, purses and jewelry are thoughtful. Cute shop with an easy to browse set up. Prices are pretty reasonable. You can find a good mix of deals with some items that get a bit of side eye on the price. They also have a discounted/sale section on the lower floor. I like that they have a couple of good size, clean rooms to try things on. read more

Stumbled upon this place wandering around the neighborhood before brunch! Great value and price for items. It's been tough to find a good consignment shop with valuable options. The space is clean, two floors and organized well. Before I left I made sure to follow their IG page for the newest finds! I appreciated the customer service and value of the items I purchased! read more

Steals and Deals! I can't rave about "Once Worn" enough. Every time I come from NY, I feel the pull of this little used clothing, vintage, treasure spot. I very rarely leave this place empty handed. I go coming in and find the thing I've been looking for. And sometimes it's an item that I thought I would not find. On my last trip, I had been wanting to replace my winter leopard jacket. And just like that I found a large jacket that still fit a layer underneath and under $40. It was a must have. On this recent trip, I was chewing my friend's ear off about consumerism and how social media has become a giant ad. The beauty of buying used clothes is your not purchasing mass production from the chains. My friend then took me here, I was like...I'll just peek. I found Chanel style leather boots with flower flare. I then snagged a long sleeve knitted top that is perfect for my "Children of the Corn" look. Yeah! I've also been wanting to find linen pants for those warm days and boom, mustard linen pants. I also have a clowncore cake confection outing coming up and I snagged a puffy sleeve polka dot top that would work perfectly. I truly found all the treasures! Highly recommend this well curated, reasonably priced must shop in Philly! read more

Once Worn Consignment - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place is incredibly cute! Came here with a friends (before the quarantining and shelter in place) on the first Saturday in March. The recommending friend had been on a previous visit to Philly and raved about the selection. The four of us were NOT disappointed. We all we able to find something(s) for a great price. I was able to find a new with tags giant color block handbag; I love a big handbag, the bigger the better! I then proceeded to fill said bag with jewelry lol. There were so many unique options in shape, style and color; I don't think I paid more than $3 for any piece. The staff was friendly and the place was packed so my guess is they get new stuff all the time! Highly recommend read more

Great place. Owner is very smart and always works with the customer. The quality of the clothing has changed for the much better. Check this out and buy the great clothing from this store. read more

All the items I bought were new...never worn before. So many different items to choose from. Price are great!

Adorable shop in Northern Liberties. The selection is fantastic as it has three levels. The prices are also extremely fair, with many pieces on clearance. Refreshingly good men's selection as well. I purchased earrings (as pictured) and the cutest silver ring. Both just $2! If you're in the Northern Liberties area, this is a must-see-spot read more

CUSTOMER SERVICE is key in my opinion. Even if I do not purchase an item in an establishment, I would like to be recognized. Customer service was on point from the door. Even though (sorry I didn't get her name) but she had kinda short brown hair, spoke as soon as we walked in. Thank you it was much appreciated. Now let's get on to the quality of the clothes. I went in there just to browse of course, by recommendation of my bestie, I wound up spending the most. They prices are RIGHT and I kinda wanna keep this store my little secret. read more

First time in, but found the cutest sweater and scarf! This place has a ton of variety and very cool finds. Did not love the smell of some of the items but it is a consignment store after all. Trying to be eco friendly and sustainable about fashion is worth it. Wouldn't go out of my way but definitely stop in if you're in the area. read more

I just discovered this little gem of consignment heaven while out with a girlfriend in Northern Liberties...and I think I'm in love. After going pretty much all over the city, you think an experienced thrifter/consigned like myself would have seen the best (and unfortunately the worst) in gently used clothing, but then I find this spot and I have to revise my thinking. May have to pay this spot another visit after pay day (trying to be responsible, people) PROS - very organized and neat (a MAJOR plus for consignment) everything is perfectly organized into size, from xs to xxl. Even the sale items were well organized and labeled - small boutique like feel - the staff is friendly and very helpful CONS - umm...well this is awkward...I can't really think of one...I guess trying to find a parking space in Northern Liberties would have been the only con TIPS - check the outside sale racks. They had a few super cute items that were also super cheap. - DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT omit the sale racks downstairs. Your first inclination once you enter the store is to go upstairs, and that is absolutely correct, but don't miss out on the low priced goodies downstairs either. (hello people, when you see an entire rack of your size of sale clothes, you get super stoked! Nabbed a Cynthia Rowley silk blouse WITH THE TAGS STILL ON IT on the sale rack, retails for $275, got it for $12!!!) HAPPY THRIFTING! read more

I might come here too often because each time I am here I see a lot of the same stuff in the racks that I saw the previous time. That being said, I am still able to find something new that I want to buy each time that I am here. While the inventory does not rotate as much as Buffalo Exchange in center city does, I would still say that Once Worn is the best consignment shop in the city because all of the clothing they sell is clean, fairly priced, and well organized. They have a great variety of dresses, shorts, shirts, and accessories that can fit any budget. If you have not yet been here, you must visit. read more

I have sold my clothing at consignment shops in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and Once Worn is always a much better experience than any of the others were. I also love to purchase from Once worn. The selection is lovely and varied, the prices are very fair and the staff is friendly. You won't find any pompous attitude from them. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Buffalo SCAM-change. Go to Once Worn instead. read more

I'm a loyal customer. I've been coming here for years and I usually walk out with some amazing, not expensive treasure that I get compliments on. She also has a small but fairly priced couture rack. Service is always friendly. Be sure to also check out the basement for the sales. Much cheaper than Buffalo Exchange or Green Street and much better edited. read more

This is my favorite consignment shop in Philly! I bring my clothes that no longer fit and I also end up purchasing items. The hand bag selection in particular is amazing! I purchased a leather bag once for $2. Score!!! Check it out. There are a lot of beautiful things tonbe found here! Thrift shopping has never been so fun!!! read more

Today was my first visit to Once Worn and I am completely in love!! I found such amazing goodies for less than $20. Very neat, clean and well organized. I had my baby girl in tow so sadly I didn't get to check out the sale racks downstairs but I'm planning on making another visit this weekend to peruse through all the lovely items this store has to offer! I have never consigned here but it definitely beats trekking down to center city to get ripped off by Buffalo Exchange.. looking forward to trying out this aspect of the store as well! HAPPY THRIFTING! read more

I've had a hard time find nice quality consignment shops that offer a solid selection of mens' clothing. I was really happy with Once Worn Consignment. I shopped here with a friend and we were both pleased with our many finds. The prices were reasonable, the quality was good, and the staff was helpful. I will definitely be back. read more

Love this store! I went during the Shopping Spree event on a Saturday afternoon. The pretty small space is filled with clothes, and bags, and shoes. I scored a vintage brown leather jacket for $30 with the shopping spree discount. There were a lot of great options and I would definitely go back to scope out everything. It seems like Jen has a decent turnover too, so you won't keep finding the same things. read more

There's a lot of beautiful pieces and vintage-y, fashionable clothing here at bargain prices. I snagged a beautiful striped/vintage blazer for just $8. There was a button missing, which was why it was probably so discounted, but all I did was cut it off to restore the piece to its symmetry :) The person working the counter was also super friendly. read more

I took some stuff down there today. The process is so easy and Jen will take most things. She let me know what is selling and what is not and I opted to donated my stuff after 60 days (or you can pick it up). She has a good selection of reasonably priced items and also a designer selection. There is the cutest pair of vintage shoes (says size 7.5) but thats like todays size 5 so if you have really small feet you should go there and get these hot wedges! She has dressing rooms in the back and even carries mens wear. Also a sale rack out front. I'll definitely be back to shop for some things, but today I was just dropping stuff off. I love this store! read more

Was waiting for someone to meet me at bowling alley across the street on 2/26/16, so decided to go in. So glad I did! Got about 8 or so things, including a jacket, shirts & sweaters. Love the sweater finds! Wish I lived closer to this spot to check it out more frequently. Bookmarked on here just in case I'm in area again. The young lady was friendly as well. read more

I love consignment stores but they usually don't love me back. But this store caught me by surprise. I found a GREAT leather jacket that fits me like a glove for only $50!! This store has cute pieces, and I'll definitely be back. read more

Love love love this place, Sarah always takes great care of me and has a fantastic eye for things that would look cute together! Must see for people looking for a wide array of affordable yet beautiful clothing. read more

Love this store. I've consigned twice here and would recommend them to anyone. I love that they offer to thrift anything of yours they don't take. The prices and selection are great, and the owner is super friendly. read more

I love this shop even more today.! My last two visits to Once Worn were very productive in expanding my summer wardrobe, with 2-3 compete summer outfits each visit for under $70.00 each time. The store's popularity is growing fast and the quality, quantity and variety of cosigners, sizes and styles has resulted. If you live in the neighborhood or surrounding areas, the location is convenient. But it is very accessible by public transportation, too. Septa Bus 5 runs on 2nd and 3rd Streets and very close to the Spring Garden station for the Market=Frankford Line. read more

You can really find excellent pieces here for cheap. You have to do some searching but not too much. The owner is very friendly and lets dogs in to the store which is appreciated! There's also a frequent buyer card so after a certain number of purchases, you get 20 bucks off. Some of my favorite dresses are from this store. read more

Once Worn is a great consignment shop. Jen the owner is the best! She is so helpful. Sarah also is such a help. I have found name-brand clothing at a great price that are in great shape. Also, when I bring clothing to sell, not all my stuff gets accepted because Jen has high standards. Check it out! read more

Amazing selection & affordable prices. Finally - a good consignment shop in Philadelphia! They have a great selection of name brand stuff & also funky pieces by smaller labels. Everything is in really good condition too. The owner was very nice & extremely helpful. I got a really cute bag & a pair of boots that looked brand new. This is my new favorite shopping destination! read more

Service was friendly and helpful. There's a lot of great stuff here! I'll be back in the near future!

An avid thrifter, I found this place through Yelp and I'm so happy I decided to take a small trip to Northern Liberties to check it out! The prices here are extremely reasonable, and are sorted very helpfully. My purchase highlights were a Gap dress with the label still on for $9 and a pair of gently worn Aldo oxfords for $15. The owner (?)/lady at the counter was super friendly and seemed to suggest that there were times of the year (including when I visited in early May) when stock kept rotating frequently, so she invited me to come back in a few days. The week before I went to Once Worn, I went to Buffalo Exchange. The difference in price is just remarkable and I think I'll stick to Once Worn. read more

The store re contacted me and offered 20% of my money for the mix up. On a pair of $250 jeans (amongst other things, some new with tags) I tried to consign I feel like it's still a rip off. But at least they're trying? I'd rather have my stuff. And based on what you get for the consignment I still wouldn't recommend it. read more

Scored a $5 gold/pearl/diamond necklace and boyfriend got a barely used white jack purcells sneaks for $15. The place is a little dark. Saleslady is nice and accomodating. read more

I like this store because it's around my brothers way which that area I luv and it's not busy me n my mom came in one day n I like it. Found a cute bag on sale but all their big bags r a lil bit pricey. I can go to eBay or Platos closet for a cheaper one. Notta great shoe selection more sma ll sizes. read more

I visited 2 thrift stores in Manayunk today and this one. Once Worn was the best in terms of price and selection for men's stuff. I'm still beating myself up for not buying that $8 Ultimate Warrior sweater. read more

This place is awesome! I always find one or two pieces that are great. The new location (two doors down from the old location) offers a lot more floor space. Tons of pants, shoes, cute jewelry, tops, dresses, and more. There are also $1 bins and sale clothes downstairs near the shoe racks. They take LevelUp, I used mine and saved $2 on my first purchase. Definitely will be back! read more

Hey, I don't really have anything bad to say about this place! It's clean, well organized, offers a great selection of styles and brands at very affordable prices. The handbag selection passed my test with a C+ rating (translation: Nice current and vintage Coach purses at very fair prices). I saw a wonderful dress outside on the sale rack (shoulda' grabbed it!) and a nice selection downstairs, which also includes a lot of menswear. I browsed as long as I could on an empty stomach before snagging a brand new, super cute, genuine leather Banana Republic purse for $11; after which I promptly headed to the nearest coffee shop. I will definitely be back to spend a lot more time but I'll make sure I've had my Wheaties first. read more

This place is phenomenal! Jen makes you feel like you've known her your whole life, while remaining super professional and organized. I've found some amazing pieces of clothing here, and have also done a lot of consigning. It's so fun to get that check in the mail after the 15th and feel like you've not wasted all of your money on clothes- and can go buy more! :) I highly recommend this place for both shopping and consigning. read more

Great place- I was warmly greeted and felt confident my clothing was going to find a perfect home! I will be back to shop for spring! Support local biz baby! read more

Love this store. They have an amazing collection of new and vintage pieces. I also drop off pieces for consignment. I didn't have much luck with some of the items that I thought would be for sure sellers, but Jen is a great communicator and I will def be going in there in the future, to buy and to sell! read more

PS! I just need to comment on how wonderful Jen was to work with. Without getting into detail about how difficult I was, and how many times she re-issued checks for my consigned stuff, I'll just say that I was bowled over by the helpfulness and patience I received. read more
