This is one of the best clothing store. Reasonable prices and very unique I am bringing some of my clothes and never leave without something new,something that is one of the kind. The new owner is VERY nice, easy to talk to, friendly I would definitely recommend this store to visit next time you are in Corona del Mar read more

Cute store. The staff there are fantastic and funny! Love the vibes. Wide selection of clothes of all sizes.

This used to be the best place around, but new owner had done a serious nosedive. One reason we like to consign here is that if it doesn't sell, it gets donated to a great cause (Discovery Shop), benefitting cancer patients and families. Not sure what happens now. One thought is that owner tries to sell in her other shop......... Of course this affects donations ! The whole thought of benefiting others has faded. So, selection is not what it has been........ read more

I love this store!! One of my favorites stores to shop for designer bags and clothing. Also love the costumer service provided by Matty, he goes above and beyond to find just what I'm looking for. He really is and asset to the store read more

if there were zero stars, I would put that down! I brought in 13 items all dry cleaned, on Beautiful hangers, and I did not hear from anyone for nine days. I went into the store and met Matthew. He said he already sold a jacket and I had $27 but the jacket was $400 brand new. There was no communication whatsoever and I did not OK the pricing yet. I wanted my clothes back and he said come back in a couple of days and I said no I'd like them back today and he put them, 13 items, in one bag just thrown in . worst customer service. Decades ago it was impeccable, things have completely changed. I'll never go back there again. read more

beautiful clothing, good service and excellent value make this consignment store stand out from all other stores of its ilk.

Matthew was amazing, great customer service!! He knew exactly what I wanted. Best customer service, I've ever experienced.

Very disappointed with how careless they are with the consigned items. My item didn't sell in a month so came to pick them up. Took a while for them to retrieve my item which now that Ive taken a look at it makes sense--they were probably trying (and failed) to take off the sticker they put on a material which they shouldn't have had. Didn't even care to properly take off the tags they'd put on. Additional scratches on the case. Would rather donate than sell via this shop. To be fair with the commission rate you basically are donating so might as well give it to the ones who'd look after it with care. I'm in awe at how they irresponsibly handled someone else's property as someone whose job is to sell other people's well kept secondhand items. Regardless of the store's unprofessional incompetence the old ladies were very lovely. read more

See all

I really enjoy the aesthetic of this store vs On Que Style. It's also more affordable and less intimidating to walk through. Very homey and warm while still having very top level brands like Burberry and Armani. Found fantastic pieces for under $100. I also learned I never need to buy blazer from the mall ever again because there are a billion here. They also have a fun 40%+ off sale every last Sunday of the month which I checked out. They have snacks and drinks too while you shop on this Sunday. The staff is very nice and plenty of free 2 hour parking all around. Looks like you need an appointment on M-F to sell things though. Definitely recommend if you want designer clothing at more affordable prices. read more

Ilet me start by saying I am not all that and a slice of bread. I am normal and human and I love my gym clothes.... But I have one thing to say for their saleswoman don't judge a book by it's cover because you may not know your audience. That being said the manager is a delightful person and they have very nice (and priced according to their value) items. I however will not be returning. cheers read more

AVOID AVOID AVOID. I dropped off scarves (Gucci). They didn't sell and when I went to pick them up, the tags were cut off?! I asked what happened, and why and they said they didn't do it. NONESENSE. They are totally careless with consignment items. Staff was unhelpful, refused to take ownership. read more

Vera runs a fantastic consignment store, and I enjoy seeing the new arrivals in the shop windows! Recycled Rags adds so much charm to Corona Del Mar! read more

Julie and Vera were very kind and knowledgeable. The consigning process is straightforward and fair. I would definitely recommend you stop in for a treat yourself gift as their selection is amazing! read more

My friend decided this year's bday was going to have a 40's theme. Not being into recycled or vintage anything, I was a little lost as to what to wear. After badgering my grandma for ideas and to raid her closet, I hit the local thrift stores. The first few stores seemed like exactly what you think of thrift stores- cheap looking, old, musty smelling and junkie with strange staff who think they're Betty Page. This one was thankfully much different. The store itself reminds me of a little upscale boutique with tons of lighting and nice accessories and shoes on display. As soon as I entered, I was helped by a very nice woman who put together an entire outfit for me. Being a size 2, the other stores I'd perused didn't exactly have anything to offer me, but this spot definitely did. Thank you upscale anorexic cougars. That being said, I got an awesome dress and a funky cool hat and makeup and hair tips to pull the outfit together. And they asked me to bring them back some pics so they know how it all worked out. So kind. I can't rave enough about the staff here. Next vintage themed party, I'll start my search here instead of ending it here. read more

I would leave 0 stars if I could. I bought a used chinchilla coat from them for $2100 , which I found out that week from MULTIPLE furriers that it was in fact not chinchilla but a fake chinchilla fur using dyed rabbit fur to look like the real thing. I brought the coat back and they refused to give me a refund. If these people are selling fake chinchilla coats I wouldn't trust any designer clothing that they're selling either. Don't get ripped off by these people, go elsewhere. read more

Very nice staff and beautiful items to choose from. Many designer to see and in very good condition

Had a great time Kathy the sales associate is new and very warm and friendly. She accommodated me quite well and I purchased one of her selections as well. Everything is brand named and high end with great prices. I'd visit again for sure!! read more

The woman at the counter when walking in who I am assuming is the owner is so rude! I walked in to look around with my family when I seen her give us a look and not even greet us. By seeing the look she gave it made me uninterested to even promote her business buy purchasing anything there. Pricing is ridiculous as well not to mention. read more

My second time walking in this store in a year !!!!! Well what can I say - NO THANK YOU! Had some Great items for good prices, but the sales person is just unpleasant and ignorant! When I walked in and just had few questions about consigning something, she just gave me a card and said to make an appointment! Ok that is understandable, but why can't you answer a simple question about percentage and pricing!!!! Store has very unpleasant atmosphere and sales lady! Maybe 30 years ago that would be acceptable but not now! What can I say - you lost a potentially good customer! Good luck with business! read more

Awhile ago, I was strolling around Corona Del Mar with my boyfriend. He has been in a casual hunt for a new suit. Recycled Rags had an incredible Canali suit. Built piece with an accompanying Canali tie. Highly recommend stopping by. Plus, the staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Overall, has a few great finds with good people to help you. read more

This is an update to my previous review. IAM impressed with with care they take with the consigned items. Julie does a lot of research to price the items fairly and they are all extremely particular what they accept to consign. This store is high quality and deserves high praise. I hope everyone will visit and see for themselves and meet the owner Wendy , Julie and Kathy. read more

Very old fashioned clothes for older women -- nothing anyone under 40 would wear. They were having some sort of sale. My mom, dad nor I got a hello or a smile from any workers. Welcome to Newport! .. And we're from here haha. Also overheard a tall woman in her 30s (likely youngest there) tell a young girl (like 6 or 7) that if she ate donuts she would become fat and round like a donut. read more

Very nice workers! Cant wait to come again! The workers were helpful and quick to navigate me towards the right items

Rude, rude, rude. Yes- they have designer names, but charging those prices with all that attitude?! No thanks. I found labels that can be purchased for less at Nordstrom Rack. My friend wanted to try on some boots, but the sales lady said they were being held for someone else in the dressing room. The stalls were empty! The sales lady was all attitude because who knows why- probably because I am under 50 and wearing flip flops. If the old lady had better eyes, she would have seen I was carrying a Dolce & Gabana handbag. Remember the line from pretty Woman?! "Big mistake" I'll shop elsewhere, without the condescending attitude. read more

Normally you'll find women commenting on this store, so consider this an angle from a man's man, who only goes into the men's section, and didn't think there would be much here for men my age. Wow, was I wrong. Everything is clean and well presented here, and they have many trendy options for men's fashion, including a great selection of Armani suits and jackets, and Robert Graham shirts. Definitely not a thrift store, but more high fashion high priced and yet still a great deal high end clothing. I'll be back here often! read more

My first time in this store was Saturday. It was a rainy day, and I practically had the store to myself. Staff was helpful, and very nice. Tons of high end designer apparel: Chanel, Prada, etc. Selection of purses included: Coach, Gucci, LV and Prada. Excellent price on the purses and all were in great condition. Shoes included: Cole Haan, Jimmy Choo among others... I can't wait to go back. There was a ton of stuff I could have walked out with. Definitely worth the trip if you are looking for staple wardrobe pieces, that will be in your closet for years to come. read more

Love stopping in to see what's new - and there's always something. Have sold items with them and service was excellent. Have bought items there and great finds. Longest-standing, most trusted high-end consignment in CDM for a reason. Recommend! read more

I needed to look GOOD for a party, and if you know me, it is not an easy thing to accomplish. Vera, and staff, helped me pick a nice suit, something that I looked good in, they chose the color, and the cut. I paid a little over $100 for it, when I took it to the tailor to adjust, he was very impressed with the quality of the suit, and he couldn't believe that I only paid a little over $100 for it. I am so happy with my purchase, I feel like I have finally found a way to beat the system .. read more

I came in with money and a goal to find a designer purse. I was greeted right when I came in the door. Told the lady what I was looking for and it was torture for her to tell me where the bags were. I took it among myself to look around. Another gal greeted another guest with open arms and looked at me and said nothing. I'm not poor I just want a more affordable price for designer things; hence the concept of the store. Such a huge disappointment, and really don't enjoy the way they made me feel about myself. eBay here I come. read more

I agree. This is a CDM staple and I really like it. I have been going here on and off for around 15 years since I was in my 20's. They have a good variety of clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry. It's such a unique shop and most of the women there are really nice and helpful directing me toward what I'm looking for at any given time in my small size. One time I just hit the jackpot because there was a small petite woman with nice chic clothes who was my size. I bought a bunch of stuff she consigned. She must have moved. ;-) read more

do you want designer ... up to the minute styles.. with fab accesories.. jewlery.. yes ladies jewlery..!. designer bags..and they have a parking lot party last sunday of every month... bring your designer clothes and accesories for top dollar to you... Rags has been in business for a very long time.. visit..you'll see why. read more

Hands down THE BEST DEALS on designer items anywhere in Orange County!! Always new stuff every time I stop in- love this place!

Nice clothes & layout.

Nice customer service Didn't have to find parking bc the business was located only a few blocks from my grandpas house. They have a good clean selection. Will def be back and letting people know about this hidden gem :) read more

Best place to go if you are looking for those rare pre-owned St. John/ Chanel finds. I bought an amazing one piece green and blue St. John jumper there and amazing jewelry pieces. The only "recycled" designer boutique I would ever bother going into. When I am in the area- I always stop in and peek around. I have been doing this for years- and they have been here forever! Great place and sooo worth the visit! Boyfriends can sit down on the couch (hopefully take a nap so we have enough time to pack the clothes in the trunk) and let the girls do what they do best. read more

Have not been there since Covid but have purchased wonderful things before Covid and loved the shop. They have elegant slightly worn beautiful beautiful clothing and treat you like a princess when you're there. Wish I was still working so I could wear some of their wonderful clothing. read more

The review is more for the staff than the merchandise. I live in the neighborhood and love the merchandise however the most lackluster staff I have ever come across. Just rude, never smile. I was in the store today and my daughter found two lovely things and not one salesperson approached us nor smiled. Not. One. She spent her $360 anyway but don't expect friendly here. read more

Love this store, it is a Corona Del Mar staple. It is very quaint, kinda like going back in time with amazing high-end items. Lots of selection, incredible ladies that know their merchandise well. They make you feel so welcomed and wanting to come back! I have sold everything I have consigned there and been extremely happy with their standards. The last Sunday of every month they have a parking lot sale, super items, killer prices. There is a terrific men's section too! read more

Not exactly my style of clothes. Kind of middle aged, Las Vegas/O.C. Cougar stuff. Some men's stuff, too. A friend from back East had some old school Gucci purses and belts that she wanted to get rid of. I told her to send them to me and I would find a place to sell them on consignment. This store seems to do a brisk business. Things aren't cheap but they have a big sale on the last Saturday of the month where things that have been there for 30 days gets marked DOWN. Worth checking out. read more

Great spot for a quick outfit change! Take the time to come back often though, better chances to find that perfect dress! They also have once a month "parking lot" sales, great bargains if you can get there early enough! read more
