I can't believe I'm writing a review for a children's clothing store, much less the first review, but I had a really positive experience at Tallulah's Closet and wanted to share.
I have no kids and am pretty dumb when it comes to shopping for them. But, I was going to visit a relative who just had a baby and wanted to come bearing gifts. I'd gone to a few boutiques in Park Slope, but I was NOT going to pay $34 friggin' dollars for a hipster baby t-shirt, like some of the stores were charging. Ridiculous! I won't even spend this much money on a t-shirt for myself!
So, I figured my home neighborhood of Greenpoint would be priced more affordably. Went to one store a block away from where I live. WRONG! Even more expensive! With this review and all you Yelpers as my witnesses, I will never pay $70 for a baby sweater when I become a parent, even if it is made in Europe.
As a last ditch effort, I went to Tallulah's Closet, a place i'd walked by a few times on my way to the gym. Immediately upon entering, I was greeted by the cheerful owner and, probably sensing the look of cluelessness on my face, she asked if I needed help. I did. Knowing I was looking for a gift, she helped me find a few new pieces with the tags still attached (since this is a consignment shop, most of the goods are used.) Everything was very helpfully grouped by the child's age and was priced really well. I noticed used Gap Baby sweaters in great condition for $4 etc. They also have books and toys.
I ended up buying a brand, spankin' new Osh Kosh onesie and overall set for $15, tags still attached, that my cousin loved.
Very cool experience and just another reason that I'm grateful to live in Greenpoint and not Park Slope! read more
