I just got back from trying to consign (sell them) some handbags. I had one brand new with tags Aigner, two new Coach bags, two new Kenneth Cole bags, a Matt & Nat bag, and a Francesco Biasia. All of the bags were new (never used) except for one of the Coach ones which I used ONCE. New prices on them ranged from $75 (for the Kenneth Cole) to $185 (the Biasia one). The girl looked through my bags and determined the only one she wanted was the Aigner one. I showed her the tag (which was in the pocket) that clearly stated it was $148 new. She said, "We'd sell it for $50 and I can give you $15 right now." HUH?!?!?!?!?!?! What seller in his right mind is going to take 10% of the value of a BRAND NEW, DESIGNER LEATHER BAG WITH TAGS??!! I was INSULTED. That they don't want the other bags, okay. Fine. (Even though I saw they were selling another Coach hobo like the two I had, so mine were clearly acceptable.) That's their prerogative. But to offer me $15 on a bag worth $150 is a joke. And I will NEVER go back to this place. So clearly low ball. So rude. Shame on them. read more

I've been to other Reddz, and their usually very good, but this one never had much, and they perpetually open late--we can even see people inside just hanging out, but they ignore folks waiting outside. read more

Boyfriend and I can never leave without buying something. This store is always a lot of fun to browse through. You can find some amazing deals! read more

I thought I'd found a winner. I really, really did. Even though the Bethesda Reddz is truly horrid- picked over, stained clothes with rips, make-up, pen marks, as though the only thing they checked was the designer, "von Furstenberg- great! We'll take it!"- I had seen better quality items at the Georgetown location and more turn over. Then there was the exciting vist-before-last when they actually had some items in my size (0, shoe size 5.5-6) and I scored a couple of sweet pieces off the sale rack in back. NICE. Then there's today's visit which has turned me off so much, I doubt I'll be back, period. TL;DR: the employee I showed designer slacks from last season to had no idea what she was looking at and discarded it out of hand, even when I tried to tell her what she was looking at. (I could have pulled them up on the website in this season's colors if she hadn't tuned out.) I dropped four carefully chosen items by the front desk to sell if I could. The employee at the desk took them, but had another customer waiting, so I went to browse around until it was my turn. The employee called me back almost immediately, even though the other customer was still waiting. Ms. Reddz began explaining why they couldn't take certain items (I'll get to that in a minute) while the other customer was still standing there. When the front desk employee hopped over that customer to talk to me, the other customer said, "I'll be back in a minute. No, no- you go ahead, " and left. Then the front desk employee cut me in on the "gossip": Apparently, the other customer had purchased a coat there and no longer wanted it. Unfortunately, Reddz's doesn't take returns and had no idea how to fix the situation. Complicating condition: the woman who was trying to return the coat was (self-identified?) "homeless". Draaaammmaaaa at the Reddz's, requiring no fewer than three employees to pow-wow, which two of them had the good sense to take it off the floor, so that I wasn't watching all of this go down. Now to what they would take and what they wouldn't of my carefully chosen pieces (I'm really going to geek out on my vintage/consignment/thrift stuff here; we're heading into TL;DR territory if we aren't there already.) - a perfect condition, freshly dry-cleaned 2002 DKNY couture piece - pr of Lucky nothing special, excellent condition straight leg jeans - pr of Loro Piana last season pima cotton narrow-wale courduroys ankle trousers - vivid orange silk skirt with large white dot pattern knee length giant box pleats, designed and sewn in France They took not one piece. They are only buying skinny jeans (fine, but what are all the older ladies and mommas in Georgetown going to wear??). They don't buy 2002 couture because it is "older"- also fine, but silly IMO. The silk skirt was discarded as being "summery" (I guess we only wear orange in summer??) but the hand of the silk is a fall/spring weight, not summer. (And there's so much fabric in the box pleats, you'd cook. Anyone with fashion design background would have an inkling.) But all of this are data points I can use when I unpack my winter clothes and sort through, deciding what to get rid of and what to keep. But the Loro Piana pants are a real miss. She looked at the label twice, and it was clear she didn't know what she was looking at: Italian-made corduroy slacks, retail $280. (Cashmere version available if you'd like to spend nearly $400 on your pants!) She discarded them as being "wide leg". I explained they were last season's ankle crop, in an Italian 40, but she had already stopped listening. She then WADDED all of the rejected clothes up for me and pushed them at me. I think I yelped, "No!" before I grabbed them and began re-folding the proper creases and care for box pleats, fine fabrics, etc. Not a good way to treat clothing. Not a good way to treat a customer. Not a good way to treat a human being. And if they can't bend their policy a smidgen to accommodate the woman who bought a coat and now needs the money back- homeless or not- then just...forget it. I'll take my things to the shops in Brooklyn and Jersey City that always buy and are up on labels, design, what's au courant, what's trendy (still can't get over 90s being called "vintage", but it made me a pretty penny, so I'll shut up). And maybe DC will catch up in a decade or so. read more

Well enough said five stars says it all ... this place is amazing and my "go to " for clothing and accessories since it's opening. Both locations Georgetown and BEthesda ! Great constant flux of high end / designer affordable clothing in good to excellent condition . The staff are excellente. Emily , Dharma and others Garret is the manager of Gtown and he is so much more than the manager .. he offers exceptional customer service , an amazing stylist with fantastic taste and a great eye to assist with what's best for his customers . Kudos to you Garrett -and the staff .. if you haven't been yet then your missing out read more

I came here to donate my clothes, and they were most unhelpful, rude and snooty. A store person in a blond wig in particular was extremely rude. All my items were in impeccable condition, one in fact was a brand new pair of shoes still in their box, and I had made sure that the items followed the guidelines laid out on their website and included good brands like Banana Republic and Macy's. The store person gave my belongings a cursory glance, rudely told me that they were out of style and that they would not accept them at all. They could have been more polite and pleasant, and the whole experience left a very negative impression upon me. read more

I'm an expensive bargain shopper (LOL if that makes any sense)! Absolutely, love this place, as well as the other location. Friendly, helpful staff. Organized store with FANTABULOUS designer pieces. 6 stars! Check them out on IG: reddztrading They post daily and you can even call in to purchase! How convenient!?! :-) read more

I am visiting DC with my husband who is here on business. We were supposed to just be here one night, but we decided to stay an additional night, which for me meant I had to find another outfit to wear to a business function tonight. After striking out at several other vintage/consignment shops, I stumbled across Reddz, and I am so happy I did! I was there an hour and a half and tried on anything and everything until I found something I thought was appropriate for the event tonight. Then, I had to get the sales ladies involved for their help with accessorizing because I got nothin' in that department. I left with a one-of-a-kind Fuzzi dress along with earrings, a ring and bangles, all for $200! I am so excited to have found Reddz. My outfit is not just okay for my event, it is really really awesome! read more

I've been to the Bethesda branch many times as a buyer and finally took some items in for selling, as I am now familiar with the items sold there. As I arrived the salesgirl yapped at me to see if I had an appointment and then told me to come back in a while. There was no hello, no eye contact. When I returned, she said there was nothing of the brands that they needed and could take nothing, leaving me perplexed as DVF, Rag and Bone, Equipment, Karen Mliken, Ted Baker all seem to be right up their alley? So I would counsel future customers to save your time, your parking fees, your day even, and use your on-line resources - Thred Up, eBay, Poshmark, RealReal. Save yourself the negativity at Reddz. read more

I went to the Bethesda store today with an entire box of at least 50 items...the young woman looked at everything so quickly, I don't know how she decided what to take or not take. Almost everything was new with tags. While I shopped, I found a blouse similar to mine, Elie Tahari with a 248 price tag on it and they had a priced at $80...they wanted to price my blouse of 298 at $40! I also had a Parker blouse with $265 price tag on it and she wanted to price it at $50. She didn't even take a Rachel Zoe piece with $395 tags on it bc she said dresses weren't selling...it was a romper. She put more on a used wrinkled Tory Burch tunic than on a PIazza Sempione blouse with tags (no price). I took it around the corner to Current Boutique and they took it. read more

Truly do not understand the negative reviews, although almost all of my visits have been to the Bethesda store, not the Georgetown. I've consigned and purchased there for about 5 years, used to visit every Saturday after going to the gym. Nobody has ever been rude - ever. I think people's feelings are hurt when Reddz does not take some/all of the items they want to consign. It's not about snobbery - they take what they believe they can sell to their typical customer. You don't get a huge amount back, but hey, they have to pay rent and salaries. If you want a higher return, sell on eBay. I'm glad Reddz is in Bethesda; it adds to the mix. read more

Not worth the time or trouble. I stopped by a few months ago and asked what their policy was , and was told "It has to be new" OK -- the other day I stopped by with a small collection of NEW shoes and boots -- from Skechers, Dockers and Bass, and THIS time I was told: "Oh we only want merchandise from Macy's and Nordstrom's." Thanks for wasting my time. These shoes found a better home. Your attitude will probably fold your business. read more

POV of a Shopper (not consignor). I liked this place. A good selection of high-end designer shoes, handbags, and clothing is usually what I seek in consignment stores, and they had it. I ended up finding a unique maroon Alexander Wang bag for about $350. I love the bag and am totally happy with the find. A girlfriend found a genuine rabbit vest for $30. What a steal! If I'm in the area, I would happily visit again. read more

I have been shopping from Reddz for a long time! Love everything about them! Amazing stuff and great stuff ALL REAL!! some of stuff never been used or slightly use. never had a bad experience! I live in nyc and I always purchase from IG and call them when I like something they send more photo from items I give my card they ship it day same day!! Very very happy with Reddz read more

I am not going to give a good review to this unfriendly store which is not helpful for selling or buying. With a few exceptions, the employees are rude (especially on the buying side) who might have taken that side from their owner...They all just seem intimidated by her. I do not recommend this store as a place to consign or shop. read more

I worked in Georgetown for over 5 years and always walked past this store because it never caught my attention. I began following their Instagram and found they consigned a good bit of pre-loved designer goods and sold them at a reasonable price. This led me to go into the store to see if the store carried more goods than was posted on IG. Unfortunately it does not and the in-store experience is undesirable. Four people were working and no one greeted me or asked if I needed assistance. I inquired if a purse on the back counter was going to be put out and was informed in a very unpleasant manner that it belonged to the guy working there. After that I decided to leave the store. I know when my money is unappreciated and unwanted. read more

Called today to make an appointment to bring in a very nice pair of slacks and blouse. recently purchased from a top designer and worn only once. The manager was so unfriendly and snobby that I decided not to do business with them. Then, upon a friend's recommendation, I contacted Secondi at DuPont Circle and had a much better experience. read more

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS PLACE I just brought a Saint Laurent Tee (which Is From The S/S17 collection) for $120 which I presume to be authentic.When I got home I noticed the inside tag want the right tag from Saint Laurent(It didn't even have the Saint Laurent's Name On It).Frustrated I called the store to explain the situation with the intent on getting a refund.From This Point A Young Lady Proceeds to tell me no refunds.So now I'm basically stuck with a replica shirt from a consignment shop from which I presumed to only take in authentic "high end" pieces and gets authenticated by "professionals". read more

Compared to the Reddz in Bethesda, this place isn't that great. It has an awkward, snobby boutique feel to it ... despite the fact that they sell used clothing. The staff aren't too friendly - they seem more concerned with chatting with one another. Also, the clothing that they sell seems targeted toward an upper-middle-class housewife. When this place first opened up, it seemed targeted toward a younger crowd, but now, I couldn't find anything I wanted. The buyers need some serious training and advice (it seemed like the brand of clothing was more important than what it looked like ... Ugh). read more

I had great success in this store- extremely friendly and helpful staff and they seem to have something new here every day. The store feels like a regular boutique rather than a thrift shop which I found really refreshing. The clothing seems new even though its consignment and every time I go I walk away with amazing finds- my most recent purchase included some pristine Nicole Miller dresses. If you have champagne taste on a beer budget but don't want to sacrifice the quality of clothing or the atmosphere of the store then Reddz Trading is a must. read more

I love the Georgetown location better than Bethesda, MD. This location has rare finds and better quality. Less items in comparison to Bethesda store but a dynamic selection. I have purchased quality jeans, designer bags, and designer shoes. I found a few treasures at this location. I have an amazing Gucci bag, Manolo's, and a Reiss Coat from here. A $695 coat for $50 is a steal. I am not a designer woman. I care more about the quality and style. However, I will not shy away from clothing that has label. The store is small but everything is neat and in order. Items that are discounted are in the back of the store for the most part. Shoes and purses at the location are funky and cute. Staff is friendly. This is coming from someone that needs very little assistance in a store. I purchase and do not sell here. My thoughts about selling here. They do not purchase from most people including me. I prefer to sell on ebay, at markets, etc. Parking is tough but this is Georgetown. I visit this location on Sunday or mid-day. There are more street parking in the neighborhoods. Please read signs. read more

Not a friendly environment at all!! The woman in charge, maybe that is the owner is so rude and extremely aggressive and always puts down whatever you bring to sell. read more

I will definitely be visiting this store when I'm in the area. I purchased a brand new pair of BCBG heels for only $40 and a brand new leather Vince Camuto wallet for $30. My friend also found a pair of BCBG heels for $30. The store setup is very easy to browse and the staff is welcoming and personable. read more

Horrible staff as both buyer and seller be aware of rudeness of staff more so management beautiful store but you pay for that with the staff and selling read more

I am amending my initial review because today I received great customer service. I brought in many bags, and although I didn't get as much out of them as I expected, the lady who waited on me was very pleasant. I was also impressed with the selection of items they had in the store and their prices were reasonable. read more

Love this spot! Best consignment in the city. I love the staff here. Everyone is awesome and super helpful. Prices are extremely reasonable. Most of their clothes are in excellent condition. Addicted to reddz! read more

Called the store around 4:20 pm today and asked what time they stopped selling. I was told 5:30. I drove an hour to the location and got there at 5:10. At that time I went up to the counter and told the gentleman that I wanted to sell my clothing. He told me that they stopped already. I let him know that one of his employees told me 5:30pm and that I had driven an hour. Had I known I would not have driven round trip two hours to the location. He said no we stopped buying. I explained it again to him that an employee in the store told me that I could come. He didn't care and told me well we are done you can leave it and come back tomorrow. Frustrated I told him I drove and hour and would not be able to leave it and drive back that is why I called and asked. He didn't care at all. Nor did he apologize that own of his employees just gave me the wrong time. I hate horrible customer service more than anything else. I called back and the manager gave options but at that point I didn't care to go back to deal with rude employees who aren't willing to bare minimum apologize that their staff told me the wrong info. read more

I've never written a negative review for a business online before so this is a first. My customer service experience was so terrible the two days I'd browsed here that I couldn't possibly give the owner my business, despite finding a couple of overly-priced items I thought were decently cute. My family owns a NICE boutique out of state that carries high-end specialty items. So from someone with experience in the field, if you're looking for QUALITY consignment and GOOD service, go a block away to Ella Rue. Many of the shop owners in Georgetown recommended the shop. The owner was fabulous and made me feel welcome there. She was a great conversationalist, was well put-together, and seemed to take an interest in her customers even though she had a vendor visiting for a trunk show appointment. The owner of Reddz, conversely, was rude, unprofessional, always seems to be freaking out over some problem when I've walked in, and has a snobby air about her. It literally felt like talking to her and trying to get any sort of shopping assistance was an inconvenience to her. Not to mention, she is so terribly dressed and done up herself that you'll find yourself questioning why anyone would want to ask her for help at all. She's out of touch with the industry, doesn't understand the concept of having a women's clothing store, looks like the 80's fired a makeup gun at her face in the morning and then threw an awful Ariel-red porn star wig on top as a joke. The sad part is, she'll never read her own reviews online to better her business because she obviously doesn't care. It's not a passion for her like you'd expect in a 60-something-year-old "boutique" owner in the heart of Georgetown. Do yourself a favor and spend two seconds talking to her before you give her your business. I'd rather buy a sandwich and cigarettes for one of the homeless people outside then purchase anything from her. read more

The people who work here are generally rude and condescending when it comes to trading in clothes. They generally have some good designer pieces and some gently worn J crew type pieces. The markup margin between what you get and what they sell it for is very high - so if you have the patience it's better off to sell on Poshmark. read more

If you are selling, there are better, fairer and friendlier places to take your no-longer-needed good clothing. (Perhaps it is a better experience for the buyer, though the prices are high.) read more

I have been here twice and have been extremely disappointed both times. I have only been offered money for 2 items, of the dozens I have brought in. The first was a brand new coach wallet that still had the tags, which I was offered $15 for. No thanks. I'd rather donate it to someone who needs it and eat the cost. I was also offered $2.00 for a shirt, which is outrageous and didn't even cover the cost of a taxi there. The MANY items turned away include Theory and Trina Turk blazers in perfect condition and a beautiful gently worn Dolce & Gabbana blouse. Honestly, anything they offer is not worth the walk/cab to the store. You can make so much more money selling online. read more

Great store! Staff was very friendly and super helpful! The girl who helped me found me the perfect dress to wear that night! I'm so excited about all the great finds I got! Can't wait to come back on my next visit to Georgetown! read more

A lot of people complain that they can't get a good price on the things they consign here. Part of the reason this spot thrives is because it is so well priced and receives much of its best stuff from well-off locals who love supporting small, local businesses. I don't think they would ever mean to offend by the prices they offer people for their consigned items--it's just a concept of the store to sell nice things at an affordable rate (they have plenty of other stores to compete with and really stand out in this way). I think their customer service is great. They are always willing to set my bag or coat behind the desk while I shop to make me more comfortable and they have an awesome selection of clothing and jewelry. Charles is my favorite, he's so nice! read more

I love this place. Yes, they don't accept that many items for consignment but they do give a better percentage for the ones they accept and price them fairly. It is hard to hear that people don't want your clothes, and frustrating since of course everyone feels like their items would sell because of course they themselves. But I found the process less stressful than other places and the staff was pleasant. I find the store pleasant to shop in and I almost always find at least one thing I love. I appreciate how picky they are about buying because it makes shopping more pleasant. It's my favorite place to get clothes in the city, and I do find that they do a better job recognizing brands than other places. No, it's not a NYC store, but they have to cater to what DC people buy, and I love DC but we aren't exactly known for being a fashion forward city. I had a long black silk gown with the original $700 tags and they were nice about it but explained it just wouldn't sell. I took it to Ella Rue, who had it on their rack for 2 months and it never sold, so I think staff probably has good instincts on that stuff. read more

I am posting this review as both a buyer and a seller at Reddz. Selling is super easy and no appointment needed. They offer you the option to take store credit or cash but you get a higher cut if you take the store credit. I typically take credit because I love their selection and they get new inventory on a daily basis. The staff is also super friendly and helpful! read more

What a cool little store. The staff are super nice and helpful. Why pay three times the price at the snob stores on M Street?
