I dropped in to this lovely consignment shop on a lark today. It is a peaceful place with thoughtfully-decorated displays, a cheerful vibe, interesting items, and good deals. I was surprised to see the low overall star rating for this shop, but it made a little more sense when I read all of the reviews here and realized that every single one of the 1 or 2 star reviews was written over 5 years ago. I know I've changed quite a lot in the span of 5 years, and maybe this store has too.
I have some updated information about the prices - they're currently much lower than the numbers stated on the really old reviews.
I checked a lot of price tags and by far the most frequent numbers I saw for clothing prices fell between $15 and $20. Not the cheapest prices out there for used clothing, but not the most expensive either. I only saw one item of clothing that cost more than $30, and it was a prom dress, so that made sense.
I got a beautiful, high-quality, Banana Republic white sweater that looks almost new for $19.
I got a pair of Sam Edelman sandals for $19 also, a great deal considering that they were in excellent condition and I've bought the same style and brand (in a different color) new for $70.
I got a lovely light-gray ribbed Nordstrom casual skirt for $18. It was brand new and it still had the original price tag attached, which was much higher than $18.
I got a Jones New York brand sleeveless jean button-down dress for $27. This was my highest-priced item, but it was in great condition and I've bought things from that brand before for very high prices brand new and they lasted for many years, so I thought it was worth it - even though that dress was slightly tight on me.
I am in my late 30s and much of the clothing stock was for older ladies, but, as you can see above, I still found some beautiful, age-appropriate clothing items for good prices.
This was a pleasant place for me to relax and leisurely browse. Like most used clothing stores, I wouldn't recommend shopping at this one if you're in a hurry. It may take some time to look through the items and see if you can find something that suits you.
Most of the clothing is in excellent condition. I did see two different sweaters that were very pilly. I expected their prices to reflect that, but they didn't.
There was a pretty good selection of various types of clothing in sizes S, M, L, and XL. There was a much smaller selection of items of clothing in sizes XS, XXL, and XXXL - they did have a few things in those sizes, but it might be tough to find something that suits you if you are one of those sizes.
As other reviews have mentioned, there is much more here than just clothing: there is an assortment of all sorts of things, from kitchen items to books.
I got a cute heart necklace for $11, a CD (can't remember the price of it), a small book for $2, an infinity scarf that looked new for $12, and a good-quality, heavy paperweight (I can't tell if it's real marble or not) for $10 that I absolutely love.
The lady behind the counter was super friendly and welcoming, to me and to all of the other customers (I was one of 4 total customers there this afternoon). She and I chatted about yard work and cats.
I will say that I was considering asking about bringing in clothing of my own to try to sell - I was a size 2 or a size 4 throughout my 20s and early 30s and I doubt I'll ever be that small again, and let me tell you, I have some clothing that is several steps up from Banana Republic or Nordstrom-type selections - but, while there, I had a feeling that it might not be a good idea to bring that up, so I didn't. Reading the other reviews here, it sounds like a few people have had negative experiences with asking about selling their clothing here, so perhaps there was something to that feeling that I got. However, my intention in going there was primarily to browse and/or buy, and doing both of those things was a good experience for me.
I guess I'm a little surprised that this place has stayed in business for so long given that they're right next door to a Ross, which has similar prices for a much larger selection of brand-new items, but I'm glad they're still there. I personally prefer shopping at this store to shopping at Ross. Shopping at this lovely little store was a 5-star experience for me in every way - excellent quality of items, fair prices, friendly customer service, aesthetic appeal, relaxing music playing, and finding great items that I love. read more
