How do I begin to sing praises in order to convey the fantasticness/fabulousness/ all the other Rachel Zoe jargon conveying amazingness that is Swap? I will take a gander. Ultimately, Swap has singlehandedly eliminated my need to ever go to Lakeside Mall or Canal place, and has given me the wonderful ability of clicking delete when I get a sale notice from Banana or J. Crew because I know I can get the item at Swap in the same condition for less money. First, the owner, Michelle, is fabulous. It is like she has read every how to make your employees and people around you respect and love you book on the market. Or maybe it's innate for her. I don't know. Michelle is a genuinely kind person, who signs every single one of her business' emails with every single store associates name. In a world of faceless corporations, that means a considerable amount. Swap discounts items on a schedule. I know they do at 30 and 60 days, so you can take a gamble and watch an item if you are in love. Swap has only been open for a little over two years, and nearly half of my wardrobe went to be consigned there and the other half has been rejuvenated by it. My finds include Theory shirt dresses for 15 dollars, silk Club Monaco skirts for under 30, Coach wallets and wristlets, Tory Burch clutches for under 100, a Guess red peacoat that was Blair Waldorf worthy for under 70, banana republic silk tops, etc. How did this happen you say? Michelle opened her store in a section of town that has wealthier liberal arts schools literally 2,500 feet away (tulane and loyola) and is wedged in a wealthier part of new orleans. So, an influx of a revolving market with a disposable income. Brilliant! She works her butt off to get the word out about her store to New Orleans' ladies who lunch who then bring their garmets here. (Thankfully) There is no hipster ridiculous pretentiousness here (Im lookin' at you Buffalo Exchange) and they are always kind when you consign your items. I have never been treated anything but wonderfully by Michelle and her crew. If you are in the area, make a point to stop here. Honestly, I would work here for free if it were legal, but well, we both know there are labor laws. note: sign up for store emails because Swap loves coupons as much as you budget fashionistas do, and they also have an ebay edition of their store. read more

I absolutely love this boutique. Both in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The selection of clothing, shoes and accessories is exceptional. The staff has always gone above and beyond to help. read more

Swap is my go-to place for clothes, shoes and purses. I especially want to commend Marion who has helped me tremendously. At the last minute I have twice, recently, needed a dress for two different dressy events. I asked Marion for help, and within 5 minutes, both times, she came up with the dress, the purse and the shoes. I would not have been able to find and put together the outfits that she did for me. I find Swap to be reliable and I'm always happy if I walk in and see Marion and/or Anna. Both are good! read more

Always a beautifully curated selection of clothes, accessories, and shoes in excellent condition. Swap is very serious about what they accept, ensuring it's high quality, classic, and on trend. I love selling and buying at Swap! read more

Dropped in here the other day and was pleasantly surprised by the great variety of clothes and the reasonable prices they offered! My friend and I ended up getting a couple pieces each, all lightly worn and fairly priced. The front desk worker was super friendly as well. They explained that the sales and prices depend on timing. After one month, the item goes 15% off, after another few weeks, it will be marked down 25%, and so on. So if you have your eye on something but aren't sure it's worth that price you can always take a gamble and check back in a couple of weeks! Will definitely be coming back to check out their items in the future! read more

Swap sold faulty shoes with latent defects that could not be determined until they were worn. Instead of offering to replace the shoes the best they would do is offer a 20% discount on a future purchase. Be careful when buying products here as you may end up with faulty products. read more

Had a mini-shopping-palooza today and hit a few of the clothing consignment shops (Prima Donna, Swap, Encore, and On the Other Hand) uptown in search of a formal gown that would fit my short, curvy self. So I feel confident in my comparisons. Swap is a newer store in the University Section and seems to cater mostly to the college crowd. That said there were some cute shoes, jackets, etc in mostly nicer mall brands (J. Crew, Banana Republic, Jessica Simpson). The prices were good and the shop was well organized. It was also the smallest of the four stores I went to, but that was OK since I was getting overwhelmed by volume, so it was nice to have some actual breathing room. read more

This shop always has a nice selection..I seem to find something every time I pop in. My only complaint is that the staff could be a little friendlier and not act like it is a hassle for us to be in the store. read more

Love this place! Went the day before quarantine so I haven't been able to get back. But I bought some great pieces, a jacket, a purse and some boots! read more

I stopped here on impulse and 15 minutes later walked out with a summer jacket by Eileen Fisher. It doesn't get better than that. I didn't survey everything but I'll be back. read more

Swap is one of my favorite consignment shops in town. They have a fabulous selection of designer (and not so designer) clothing and accessories and prices are wide ranging. A lot of what they have here is practically new and super affordable. I have been on the hunt for the "perfect" light summer dress and I found it here. Not only was the dress like new, but it was fairly inexpensive. even though it was a "name" brand. The staff is friendly and will help you find anything you need and there is a nice selection of shoes and hand bags as well, to complete the outfit. read more

Swap Boutique - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

my daughter scored a great 80's jacket and we had a lot of fun shopping here. i will be back whenever I am in the area

Great consignment shop! Well organized, not too crowded, and lot of nice brands. I think the prices are about par with similar shops of its ilk. I picked up a nice Free People top and a purse for $50. Friendly, helpful salespeople too. Great for a browse if you're in the Maple St. area. read more

Swap has grown and so has my love for their merchandise. I can always in and ooh and aah over the items they receive. While there's no love for plus-sized clothing, I can pick up a great handbag in all price ranges. Their staff is friendly, and they use a discerning eye when picking items to sell. I still wish I could have purchased the Roger Vivier mustard-yellow handbag.... There's other locations, but this one is still Number One in my heart. read more

I love this store! Never had a bad experience, the sales associates are very knowledgeable and today I met Kourtney, who was very nice and made my experience even better! I tell all my friends about the store and love their sales! Best consignment store in NOLA! read more

I absolutely adore this shoppe. Their quality of consignment is very gently worn if not new. So, take a look of Ur in the area!!

I love Swap! Michelle is always so accommodating. I drive from another city just to drop my clothes off here. Small store with lots of great finds. They helped me sell my Burberry purse that I didn't want to try my luck on e-bay. Effortless is the word that comes to mind. If you everneed to sell clothing or buy clothing try here first. I know I tend to bring items to them with the price tag still on it. read more

What a little shopping gem! This upscale second-hand boutique had some amazing finds! Granted- many of the prices in this store are high- they are all relative the the quality and based on the original retail prices. They also had items on sale as well. read more

This is the best clothing consignment shop I've ever been in. They carry an extensive upscale collection in a good range of regular sizes and styles. I found some lovely blouses, sweaters, and dresses. Dresses ranged from casual to long formal. If you're looking for something beautiful, come here first before paying full price elsewhere! read more

Popped into on a recent vacation. The merchandise isn't priced out of this world like competitors (here's looking at you STA). Bought a ALC dress for $35. read more

I LOVE swap boutique. Amazing prices, and things go on sale 20-40-60% the longer they are on the shelf. There are multiple locations- maple street it my favorite, followed by magazine, then met road. read more

This is an absolutely fantastic store to find great designer clothes at reasonable prices for the wife or girlfriend. The staff is also incredibly helpful. read more

I really needed some "grown-up" clothes. I decided to go to both Swap locations to try and find some pieces that I could wear out with my husband or on an occasion that called for more than my usual jeans and tank top. I got two dresses and two tops for about $125. Nice, quality clothes! They fit so much better than what I usually buy. The best part was the staff. At both locations they were helpful. I really wanted to make sure what I was buying was current and right for my age and that I would be wearing it properly. These young women are an asset to this store, imo. I will be returning to buy clothing in the future. read more

I love Swap! You can find some great bargains on fabulous designer fashions here. I've bought Herve Leger, Louboutin, you name it. Everything is in great condition, and the people there are always super nice. My only complaint is that it can be addictive! read more

Always a great experience. They only take in designer clothing on consignment so it's a perfect way to get high end items for a fraction of the cost. A friend got a Celine leather tote for $80. The gals who work there are friendly and helpful. read more

I would be in here every week if I could afford it. I'm not their typical rich-white-girl-from-Uptown customer, but I get treated very kindly every time I come in, and the selection is usually fabulous. My only issue is that they never have pants/jeans in larger sizes (10-12). read more

What a find! Even though it's a fairly small store, I found numerous beautiful items, including a few that still had the original price tags and had never been worn. The owner was gracious and friendly, and even pointed me to another consignment store down the street, Encore Symphony (which had a larger inventory but not as many cute finds). read more

Very friendly ladies. I've sold many item through them and they are always helpful and have some great things in shop!

Not a fan. I have never found anything at this store that warranted a purchase, at either the woman's or kids location. I find the quality of the merchandise to be of low quality and very expensive. I'm not paying a lot of money for a used dress, I don't care what the label. The clothes in the window are always cute, but nothing in the store even compares. read more
