Came here last weekend when I was visiting from out of town. My friend always raved about it. There are amazing brands featured in their window, walls, and shelves. So many that if I didn't easily see it I felt overwhelmed. Luckily the customer service was stellar! I asked if they had Alexander wang and she was able to look in the computer and tell me if they did. Most places would simply say "if it's not out there we don't" I asked if by crazy chance had a Chloe paddington....yup, she pulled it off the wall. I was stunned. I had my Marc Jacobs on me and she pulled down 2 purses that I might be interested in, I loved that she did that. Clearly I'm here to shop so sell me. I walked out with a Kate Spade bag and a Marc Jacobs with dust bag for a fair price. The Chloe purse was a good price too, I regret not getting it :( If your in the area and love fashion, come here! read more

You feel like you are in a Disneyland of affordable name brand clothing!! I have been a regular shopper of this store for over a year now and wish I would have knowing about this store sooner! Beautiful hard to find brands in this store for great quality. I always get compliments from my findings here wherever I go. My favorites are the jackets, dresses, sweaters and shoe selection. I've found genuine leather boots in great pristine condition for $30. Arranged by size and category. Nice clean facility with amazing customer service! read more

Absolutely filthy. Walked in to inquire about the price of a Chanel purse in the window, as I have a number of similar purses I no longer wanted and thought this might be a good option to sell them. The person at the counter reluctantly retrieved the purse from the window without disclosing the price. Before examining it, I once again inquired about the price and her response was "look at the tag". It was stained on both the inside and out and very poor condition for the thousand dollar price tag. However, regardless of the condition of the bag---it is of course second hand----the sales person was SO rude and the store itself was SO filthy and smelled TERRIBLE that I would not recommend going there for any reason and certainly would never recommend selling any of your valuable items there for consignment. GROSS. read more

Darling shop. VERY clean n organized. Everything is hung up n in good condition. I was looking for formal dresses, and found two lovely items at nice reasonable prices. Really nice variety and selection. Definitely worth taking a look. N just in case directions etc. are confusing the shop is in the little center with Jon's cafe. Knowing that would have made it tons easier to find. Give it a try! It's worth the time to look around. read more

Great place to recycle your clothes. Pleasant staff - always helpful.

I've been going here for years and it seems to just get better all of the time. The selection that the owner goes through in stocking the store for shopping is well done. Garments are of good quality & if you are a true shopper you know what I'm talking about, and always up to date styles. You will always find something that you LOVE and have to have and it's affordable, how great is that! Miss C read more

This was my worst shopping experience, and I was expecting this to be a great shop, after reading these reviews, however this was not the case. Service none, rude sales clerk, and so dirty, I went into a dressing room, cob webs and dust , my daughter was with me and she said the same thing, to the owner clean up, smelly clothing also, when I went to one of the employees and showed her a stain, her reply was "this is a designer piece so you could pay full price or get a deal with us, then she said other people would buy it so if I don't well ok, I was surprised by her rude manner, and tone of voice My daughter asked to see a ring in the case, the same clerk said "this is expensive, so are you sure.how can anyone say this place is AWESOME. Never shop at this store, never. read more

This shop has great stuff and, at times, not so great stuff- for instance, in a recent visit, I observed Old Navy and I've seen Target brands side by side with high end brands. Some clothes in brand new condition, others shabby. The attitudes among staff vary in the same way. However, at the end of the day, consignment shoppers are looking for finds, and if you visit on a regular basis, you will find a better selection than most consignment stores in this area. read more

I've been a customer, consignor, and employee of this wonderful establishment for over 2 1/2 years. I have over 20 years experience in the apparel industry in both retail and manufacturing and I must say Return Engagements is a true GEM. Their selection is quite unique and at times I have to stop myself from buying the whole store. I enjoy the service and friendliness of each employee and I've come to think of them as friends. So if you are looking for a place to find that unique item designer or not...come on by and check out the racks...you won't be disappointed... Estee read more

I LOVE Return Engagement. I have been shopping and bringing things in for years and I always walk out happily with an item that is practically brand new, in perfect shape and the staff is so sweet and attentive. I'm embarrassed to say that it has taken me years to share the info with friends, some people have a 'thing' about resale (get over it! the deals are amazing!) and others just expect Nordstrom's style surroundings (please continue to only shop there so us fashionable types can have the fun of finding hidden treasures!). Some of my most complimented outfits and jewelry come from Return Engagement! Alise (sp?) has got a really special business going on and I for one am grateful that she and her store exist! read more

Don't bring designer items here. Commission rate is horrible and the items are priced way too low. There are other consignment stores that will yield you a higher return on your items. read more

Amazing selection. . Priced perfect.. designer at fair market rates.. A great find Everyone was very helpful.. Alicia. Thank you so much...I felt right at home.... read more

I've checked all around and can honestly say this is the best place to purchase designers clothing and shoes at reasonable prices. The location is a little off the grid, close to "Always Fabulous", but the store itself is great. The first time I went there, I purchased a few items (Zara, Benetton, Urban Outfitters). I was surprised with a wide selection of designer's purses and shoes they offer. I couldn't expect to find such a fun shop in LA but this place is unique! My friend and I were so pleased that we came back the next week and there were new jeans and shoes so we ended up grabbing everything that had caught our eyes. The staff is very courteous and ready to help, especially Giannina. I will try consign there some of my jeans. Happy hunting! read more

This place is really fun to shop, and the staff are all really nice, helpful and friendly. They're easy to work with if you are consigning pieces, too. They offer you a check or store credit and ask you if you'd like unsold items donated. Minus one star for incorrect sizing. They put a different size on their tags than the item actually is. For example, a Lululemon piece that was a size 10 was labeled as a small. I found a Milly dress labeled a small, only to find the treasure I'd discovered actually was labeled by Milly as a large, and fit like a large. In both cases I told the clerks, and in the Milly example they changed the tag, but to a medium. It's a large! Why the wrong labels? It makes no sense. The point is, search all the racks because they might have hidden treasure that fits you, it's just labeled wrong. Happy hunting! read more

Found a pair of dr martins for $30... it's a cool store, has a lot of high end designer items and the store layout was very easy to browse and shop. I would recommend going if you're in the area! read more

Really lovely store. Prices seem very fair & really cute stuff. They seem to be taking in new merch without appointments. I truly appreciate that. Some consignment stores are 2 weeks out to drop items off. read more

I've been coming here for years, and I think it's finally time I left a review. Easily one of my absolute favorite resale/consignment stores. I love Alicia (the owner) and her staff! Her store gets in so many amazing items VERY often, I find myself trying to stop by at least once a week. I have found so many gems here over the years, and I have also been able to sell many of my own gently loved items that I just didn't find myself wearing any longer. So glad to have this store close by! I hardly ever leave their store empty-handed read more

This local business has the best clothing! Yes it's slightly used but the store has an unbelievable inventory of affordable high end designers. Once you check them out I'll bet you'll never shop full retail again!! Did I mention how friendly and amazing the staff is? I highly recommend this clothing store!!! read more

DO NOT WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE! I sent my best friend's husband in there last week because she had passed and he needed to move her things on. Already painful enough but they totally took advantage of him. 5 cents on the dollar is more like it. I don't like the owner's attitude and I won't be ever doing business there. Was it really worth it. I hope so. read more

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE place to shop! It's where I get all my clothes. They always have fresh items on the racks and the people working there are so fun! Alicia the owner is very personable and friendly with the customers. It's the best resale shop around - I cannot wait to go back! read more

Love this place. The staff is so nice, especially Jean! I also enjoy the little cash I receive when I bring things in! Lots of great choices in clothing, shoes and purses. read more

Really great vintage clothing at cheap prices! My daughter and I had a little shopping adventure in the village, and made our way to our favorite places around town, and discovered a few new ones too! Return Engagement is a great little shop with plenty of treasures stacked and hung everywhere! We ended up getting a barely used Gucci bag for $50 and a designer dress for pennies on the dollar of what the real thing would cost! We love our Redondo Village and enjoy patronizing the cute little shops and boutiques that make our town a savored destination point for so many of us! I'll be back next time! Kelly D read more

After having been rudely accused of theft and not issued an apology once my innocence was proven, I will not be returning to this business. I have been a long time customer at Return Engagement up until now and I recommend AGAINST shopping at this store. Yesterday as I was walking out of the store, Alicia, the store owner waved me down and accused me of stealing. After I opened my purse and showed her that she was sadly mistaken, she did not even have the courtesy to apologize. Instead, she continued to blurt out some nonsense about how she thought my behavior was strange. I have been shopping and consigning there for years and would never think of stealing. I will be letting my friends and family who also frequent the shop know about my HORRIBLE experience. Alicia, the next time you decide to ignorantly accuse a customer of stealing, I recommend reviewing your surveillance videos. Your behavior is rude and unprofessional. read more

Brought a bunch of clothes that were all BCBG in great shape along with Diesel clothing. I had at least 20 pairs of shoes, fantastic condition, all brand name, Michael Kors ect, I even had a pair of never even worn Born shoes, and mind you all these clothes and shoes were NOT out of fashion in the least. Said they would give me......... a whopping $29.00 for three items, are you kidding me, BCBG clothing, and shoes that haven't even been touched! The Born shoes alone are $150+ at stores. Telling me my clothes would probably not sell, they had Old Navy in there and they are telling me BCBG won't sell, get a grip! Needless to say, I'll never do consignment here. In regards to their merchandise, yeah you can find hit and miss stuff but it reminds me of a store that cougars shop at. read more

The RUDEST people work here!!! I have purchased gently used Gucci, Christian Dior, etc. very expensive handbags that cost hundreds of dollars each, on a regular basis. Today was the last straw. Beyond rude. They NEVER smile and seem genuinely bothered when you ask for help. Time to find a new place to shop and so should you!!! read more

Honestly, I debated on whether to even review this place or not because I want to hoard the secret to myself......but that's just greedy, I guess. All I have to say is, why pay more when you can find almost any brand, style, and cotour here........I won't say anymore....but, you will just have to check this gem out yourself....... read more

Very disappointing... I planned to consign a lot of clothing that no longer fit to find that they do not accept business clothing.

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE YOUR EYES WHEN YOU SEE THE INVENTORY & THE PRICES IN THIS STORE! I've been a customer at Return Engagement for 12 years. The Staff & Owner have ALWAYS been friendly & laid back. I understand that they can't always take all of my items to sell on consignment cuz there's not a lot of room & they only ACCEPT THE BEST ITEMS that sell-I get that. Ok, I just went there again on Feb 8th, 2011 & found a BEAUTIFUL top & HOT Hudson Jeans! Dude, Seriously, this place needs to be seen w/your own eyes-make sure you set aside time to find your treasures- BECAUSE IT'S GUARANTEED YOU WILL! BEST RESALE SHOP EVER! (And I've been to many). read more

Buffalo Exchange was my go-to place in Westwood, so I was relieved when I stumbled upon my new consignment store in the Riviera Village area. Wide selection of labels, quick inventory turnaround and perfectly low prices. The purse and shoe selection is particularly upscale. The employees are really nice and I love the fact that it's a locally run small business. Big fan. read more

Okay, what if I told you that you could buy a $2500 Chanel bag for $700, a $3000 Louis Vitton for $749, or a $300 pair of True Religion Jeans for $84? You can! They're all available, and more, at Return Engagement. They're owner is cool, the staff is totally helpful, and the nvironment is compeltely relaxed. It's an incredible hidden treasure in South Redondo! read more

This is one of the place you must vist when your in Rivera Plaza. This pre-own clothing store has a great stock of seasonal fashion items all of as like new year around. The shop carries all from famous name brand like Louis Vuitton Gucci Chanel Coach Dior Michelle Kors Clavin Kevin and much more. It's easy to find women's clothing here that will suit your mood anything from long dress to short flirty dresses, shorts pants, blouses, shoes, sun hats, and their main sale out accessories and Purses! The store is well organized and full of goodies. The staff are always very welcoming and friendly. Expect beach prices but worth the finds. Find this location in a shopping center with lots of open parking and other great shops. Don't forget your treat next door Baskin Robins that is! read more

Let me start by saying that I hate shopping, especially thrift store shopping! Pawing through jumbled racks of musty clothes is my worst nightmare. I came here with a friend who was in in town visiting. The instant we walked in the door my attitude changed. Everything is organized by color, item, size, & style. There is absolutely nothing crappy, ugly or musty in the shop. The most astonishing thing is how inexpensive everything is! Goodwill & Salvation Army charge way more for far less fashion. There is also a surprising large, friendly & funny staff. I am torn between my desire to gush & praise this shop & my desire to keep it my little secret. read more

I'm torn on this place. The staff seemed very sweet, but then they very sweetly told me that my clothes smell like a closet(?) while sniffing one of my sweaters distastefully right in front of another customer. It was an effort to laugh it off, and I don't know if I succeeded with any kind of grace. When I asked them to describe the styles they like for future reference, they basically pointed to my stuff and said not this. Like I said, they were kind about it, but it didn't help me or make me feel confident that a second trip wouldn't be a waste of time for selling. I have been in before to browse and again I feel ambivalent. Some things are killer at a killer deal! Then there was the Forever 21 dress...? I work in fashion and could not get a beat on the style they are after. Usually at Wasteland or Crossroads or Buffalo I can get a feel for the "look" the buyers want for their particular location, but I was lost. Two stars because that is what Yelp says counts as "Meh. I've experienced better." read more

YAY I love stopping by here from time to time to look at the coool stuff they get it! I gave them 2 less stars because there is this one lady who disrespected my mother when we were in here. I was so furious. But I have seen her in a while so its ok. read more

I find what anyone has written negatively here about the staff is entirely not true. I have come into the store a handful of times and they have always been so nice and helpful. Yes they are busy checking in clothes and talking to cutomers, but NEVER has anyone there ever been rude. So they people that want to call others names here, just go somewhere else because your nasty attitude does not belong anyway. As for the clothes, sometimes it feels like heaven! I have to limit the amount of times I visit because I always find such cute stuff! I have to agree with most people that denim is their specialty. I also think they have a great selection of designer shoes and purses. I learned just the other day that this store has a lay-away policy which is wonderful!! If only that other customer hadn't found that Gucci clutch before me!!!! I highly recommend this store for excellent finds and if you want to feel good about the purchases you make!! read more

I ALWAYS find something here. A great resource for designer jeans at reasonable prices, and as a bonus, sometimes they're already hemmed (if you happen to be shorter than a supermodel)! The clearance racks are worth browsing for hidden treasures too. read more

I'm new to YELP but not new to this store. I love this place. I was just in there the other day and picked up a great olive suede purse. I wasn't familiar with the brand, Carlos Falchi, but once I got home and Googled him, I was quite pleased with the great price I paid. I think they cater to a younger (than myself...enough said) crowd but I can always find a bag, jewelry or something to go with an outfit I already have in my closet. There is a lot of inventory right now, which is good for us shoppers. There is always a sale rack out front and I think they do a great job in their window displays. I find the staff and owner to be personable and helpful. They know me by sight if not by name and I appreciate that. I always get a 'hello' when I come in, and not because I'm such a huge shopper there. I have sold things on consignment there and I feel their pricing is fair. I especially like the' 8 on Tuesdays', where you can just pop in and have them look at up to 8 items while you shop around to fill the gap in your closet. I've brought out of town friends there and my co-worker from Pasadena LOVES this place. Check it out; you won't be disappointed. Besides, it's next to 31 Flavors.... read more

They just simply get 5 stars. I have bought and sold here. They offer consignment as well though I have just sold outright. Super sweet employees-- my hands were full really quick for obvious reasons, they came multiple times to take my to-try-on items. Everything was safely waiting for me by the dressing rooms with a no-touchy rubber band around the hangers. They were just awesome and nice. The dressing rooms are spacey and well lit. The store is clean and organized. Don't expect thrift store prices. Do expect forever 21 prices for real, gently used or brand new designer items. For example, on my second visit to the store I snagged a sick pair of boots I wear almost every day brand new for $12, and a NEW twelfth street by cynthia vincent (orig. $450+) for $30. For emphasis: THIRTY DOLLARS FOR A $450 MAXI DRESS IN FLAWLESS CONDITION. read more

Have a great selection of clothes and accessories. Definitely a hit or miss place but you can find some great labels here!!

I almost didn't review because I want this place to remain a secret...but alas, it's already well discovered. It depends on the day, but 99% of the time I find AMAZING treasures here (clothing, dresses, evening wear, shoes, purses, sunglasses, and sometimes jewelry) which always receive compliments and people asking me "Where did you buy that?!" I had to attend a wedding this summer and bought a dress at a dept store, then coincidentally found a much better dress at Return Engagement. If you have an eye for fashion, this place never fails. I frequently donate/sell clothing here too (they pick through what they want to sell vs donate). They are VERY selective as to what items they'll keep to sell, to keep their fashion current, but I've enjoyed a lot of store credit from items which have sold on consignment. It's the sacred "Fashion circle of life!" read more
