Lovely selection of items for sale in the store, but from my experience as a consignor, I can't…read moregive a good rating. First off, their website desperately needs to be updated to provide accurate information--they only consign by appointment and you need to call them for the appointment. This information is not on the website, nor are details such as how many items they will accept for inspection, how the items need to be presented and specific consignment guidelines (such as item conditions, labels accepted, etc). This is misleading, and their current policy has been in place for quite awhile now (based on a visit to the store over a year ago). Glad I called to verify, as I thought the "walk-in" policy was new. I gathered my items, making sure everything was clean and on hangers, and went to the shop on my appointed day. While they inspected my items, I was invited to browse the store. I noted the pricing on several items, and overall, I felt that many of the items were overpriced for what is basically an upscale thrift shop. The upside is that I only waited a relatively short time to see what they would accept. Out of 23 items, they accepted 6. And two of these items were mid-level designer handbags in very good condition. I was offered what I felt was an insultingly low amount of money for the items, or store credit. They offered some rationale, some of which was fair, but much, from my view (such as the condition of the bags) was not. Bottom line, they want items in new or pristine condition. However, while browsing, I saw things that clearly were not in that state. In the end, I know I could have walked out without leaving the items, but I opted to accept the offer, not because I felt it was fair, but mainly due to personal logistics (downsizing). Given the pricing I saw on what was for sale, I kind of felt ripped off and taken advantage of. I'm not new to consigning, but I thought I'd try someplace different this time around. From my experience, there are other shops in the area that are easier to deal with (in as much as communicating their consignment policies) and offer a better return to sellers on their items. Note to the management: Please consider those who patronize and consign to your shop and update your website (it's really not that hard to do) OR honor the walk-in policy that is currently posted.

I cannot remember a time that I have been so insulted. A few weeks ago, I took a few clothes to…read moreFashion Xchange, and the owner (?) told me that they require 20 or more items at a time. She also said that she wouldn't accept summer clothes, just fall/winter. I went home and went through my closets. I retired recently from a new home sales position and have dresses, skirts, and pants that I knew I would no longer wear. I just went back and waited while the owner helped another person. While waiting, I saw and bought a pendant. The owner then came out, said she had gone through all of my clothes and would only accept a couple of items. She told me that my clothes were "not what her clientele were looking for". I paid more for the pendant than I got for the few items she accepted.

I got a very nice blouse for $29 (Marked down from $39.50) from Maryellen who has worked there (at the Paoli location) for 14 years, is extremely patient and puts up with lots of picky older ladies. One lady even brought her little yappy dog into the store (cute dog - but please be quiet!!!). Definitely an older crowd but some nice and comfy casual wear.

I had admired a blouse that a friend was wearing and she told me how they had 'travel' clothing that didn't need ironing, was stylish and mix and match. I work from home, but when I travel, it is always business related, so I needed good business casual. I have body-image issues, so I generally walk in to clothing stores, try a few things on and leave (in despair). When I got there, I was shown what I was looking for and from my dressing room was assisted in finding alternate styles that were more flattering, etc. I believe that her name was Joan and she pretty much not only guided me to finding me an entire wardrobe, but accessorized me. I spent over $500 and still have every piece of clothing and accessory. I would never have done that without help, trying on styles that I wouldn't have considered (because I tend to stick with what I know). I go back every other year and only when I don't have kids with me. I had gone to the one in Delaware (tax free shopping), but I didn't find the personal service that I got at the Paoli store. Not bad, just impersonal.

Or: decor, gear and outfits for entertaining at the "cabin" in the Berkshires. Tucked into a shopping center off busy Lancaster Ave/ US -30 in Paoli sits Trove General Store. It's a beautifully merchandised, well laid out store featuring warm brown tones against cool gray, some "vintage" style accents, mix of clothing, decor and housewares. None of this is "general store" unless you've got a cozy 6 bedroom cabin or a chalet at Aspen. You want to look outdoorsy without being outdoorsy- catered clamping is roughing it. Everything is lovely, and $55 is a sale price for a shirt. Three melamine stacking trays in different sizes will run you $85.

The feminine mystique is a mystery to me. So I met this girl in the mens bathroom of a train station...long story...but i knew when I saw her on the floor covered in what I thought was her vomit...but turns out to be someone else's...this girl is special. Very special. For our one week anniversary I decided to do something special...she hated it and unfortunately you can't return used items to that kind of store. Our one month anniversary she was stricken with trichinosis from my romantic dinner I prepared... ...for Christmas I decided that I would not fail. So I was collecting cans on the side of the road when someone drove by and threw an old toaster at me and hit me right in the head. When I came through I stood up and saw "Accent on Design." I went in and I was impressed by the selection of new and gently worn clothing, mostly gently worn, and their amazing selection of vintage costume jewelery. I bought a pair of earrings and a necklace for my special lady. Something that was beautiful, affordable, original, and not easily pawned to buy cans of keyboard cleaner...another long story. She loved the pieces and was very happy to know that this wasn't just some mass produced pieces that anyone can get at a department store. I have even been back for another set of earrings. The ladies who work at the store are great! They give good advice, they are very helpful and really make you want to come back. The only loss of a star is that I would like to see more jewelery and accessories. Great selection of clothes, but not enough accessories.

One associate was texting behind a fixture near the stock room in the back of the store and she didn't look up as I walked by. I approached another associate to request help. She was friendly and seemed to be willing to help me find what I was looking for. I told I would go ahead and start trying things on in the fitting room while she was looking for the item I asked her about. Having spent many years working in retail myself, I expected the associate to come back with with the item in my size or to let me know that she couldn't find and offer an alternative option. She never came to the fitting room, so I came out and found her on the floor. She then told me that she didn't have my size. I decided not to make a purchase because of the poor customer service. I like the brand and will continue to shop at the Loft, but I enjoy online shopping rather than visiting the Paoli, PA store.

You could pass it by everyday and never stop in. (I know I have). They have a lot of vintage stuff and cool knick knacks. They must get a lot of stuff from people who are downsizing as they are associated and benefit Surrey for Seniors. I go there to consign stuff mostly, but I always seem to purchase something that catches my eye as I'm walking towards the back of the store with my boxes. This time it was a sterling silver pendant with a floral design, perfect gift for a woman from my garden club. If you are into vintage jewelry/pins you should try to stop by if in the area....they have a whole selection stuck into a mannequin and very reasonably priced. I like consigning there because the items do move quickly and things are kept in good condition. Not like some other consignment or even donation stores where they throw your items around. Just sayin. Ask for Liz Farina if you're thinking of consigning. They have a $20 annual fee (new to me) and you get 60%-sales start after 30 days. Smile. Just happen to have the info sheet in front of me on my desk before filing.
