I've shopped here three times, and every time I've found at least one item that I thought was good…read morequality, useful, and well priced. Yesterday I found a merino wool/silk pashmina shawl for $4.95. It was marked "Vintage," even though these shawls are still in production. But the marking suggested that whoever priced it recognized that it was something special. There are lots of employees working hard to stock and tidy the store. They are polite and helpful when asked a question. It is a large store, with mostly clothing, shoes, purses, and linens, plus a smaller selection of appliances and other hard goods. There is no furniture. I like their colored-tag system, where each item gets a colored tag and merchandise with the oldest tag color is discounted. They also have a "Best" area with designer labels. A lot of the items I looked at were priced around $20, although some were higher--for example, I saw a Johnny Was jacket for $69. My main criticism is the amount of stained clothing that is priced quite high. I think this is something management should take a look at. Most people don't want to bargain at the register, so those stained, overpriced items just sit there. The result is that the clothing racks are very full, which makes it harder to sort through them and see what is actually worth buying. For people who are complaining about thrift-store prices, I do understand why prices have gone up. Thrifting has become much more popular, we're dealing with inflation, and minimum wage is now $16.90 an hour. I don't object to paying a fair price for something genuinely desirable. But I do agree that it is disappointing to find high prices on damaged merchandise, and it makes it harder to find things you would actually consider buying. And part of the fun of thrifting, at least for those of us who do it as a pastime, is finding a bargain. Current pricing strategies at many thrift stores are making that harder and less fun. I think thrift stores need to have some true bargains for people to discover. That's what keeps the hunt interesting. I volunteered at another thrift store, the Bargain Box, for 10 years, so I have some experience with this. Our general policy was that an item in perfect but used condition was priced at around one-third of the new price. Dated clothing was priced lower. Stained items or things with missing parts were sent to another thrift store, sold to a recycler, or discarded if they were hard goods. That approach kept the inventory moving at a reasonable rate. For vintage or designer items, we would look them up on online resale sites such as Etsy, eBay, ThredUp, or Poshmark, find several comparable prices, and then price the item below the lowest price we found. Often we priced it a little lower than that because a brick-and-mortar thrift store with limited foot traffic doesn't have the same customer base as an online reseller. I'll definitely be back to the Arc Foundation store. I've already found some good things there, and I'm hoping to find more.

Good selection of vintage home decor items (rugs, baskets, art, ceramics) and even more clothing - mix of vintage and contemporary. Shoes, bags, lots of jewelry, hats, and accessories are also plentiful. You can easily spend up to an hour looking through every corner, its a treasure hunters delight for sure. Prices are really reasonable and the quality seems hand selected, so you are better off that just a thrift store but it's not sorted by size or decade but by type of clothing (sweaters, jackets, blouses) so you are bound to get inspired or find something unexpected.

They have recently moved to a new location on Main Street, and the space is such an upgrade. It is beautiful and open, with high beam ceilings, large windows, and those incredible barn doors that let in so much natural light. The building itself has great bones, which makes the whole space feel airy, warm, and intentional. Owned by Whitney, who is also behind Findings Market, the shop showcases the work of around 25 plus thoughtfully curated vendors. The result is a vibrant, welcoming space filled with unique finds that feel well selected and cohesive. Lyndsie is often there and brings such friendly, lively energy to the space. She also helps coordinate events, which adds to the strong sense of community you feel when you walk in. Inside, you will find a beautifully curated mix of home decor, accessories, and clothing, all at very reasonable prices. Whether you are browsing or buying, you are almost guaranteed to leave with something special. Bonus points for street parking and plenty of public parking nearby.

**February 2024: Saturday Afternoon Visit**…read more This Goodwill is tiny, but the items they put out are really good quality and the prices are fair. I don't think I would go out of my way to visit this thrift shop, but if I'm in Ojai I would definitely take a peek to see what treasure it may hold. On my recent trip I bought a white puffer vest that fit me perfectly and it didn't even look like it's been used. I suppose consider the size of the store they only put out the best items so it's worth a look if you're in the area.

As an example you cannot find a regular Tshirt for less than seven dollars unless it's got holes in it and stained. They used to be very affordable and a good selection. I don't know what's happened but maybe the economy has made them having to pay higher rent so therefore they're charging people tons more I will tell you 100%. I'm never coming back, which is sad because I used to come here a lot.

This place is huge and it's organized for the most part but what is really frustrating is their…read moreprices are insanely overpriced. They were selling half burned candles for $4 and candles without wicks for $3. Then there were the cheap bath sets you can get at TJ Maxx and Marshall's for $13. The big one was the bikes priced at $300 and $400 for USED bikes. These aren't high end used road bikes, these are run of the mill bikes sold at places like Big 5 for the same price. The cherry on top for me was the 18 or 19 year old girl walking up to random strangers asking for a dollar so she could buy the item she was holding in her hand. Everyone knows she isn't panhandling to buy the thrifted item, she is going to run off to buy alcohol or drugs. Who comes to a thrift store without at least thinking "hey, I should probably have money before making a decision to shop"?!

I would not recommend her for any time of business and my experience was a waste of time. Not only did I pay someone to take me their, I literally paid the driver more than what I was able to pocket.
