First time checking this place out and I went in knowing their whole thing is that they are selective about what they accept. No fast fashion, no brands that don't meet their standards. I actually think that concept is interesting and it does show in the quality of what's on the floor. That said, let's talk about the prices, because this is not your typical thrift store experience. The minimum I saw for a dress was $15, and Lululemon leggings were running anywhere from $30 to $45. Yes, that is cheaper than buying them new, but if you walk in expecting Goodwill prices you will be caught off guard. There were a lot of cute boutique brands throughout the store, just know you are paying for them accordingly. The sizing situation also stood out to me. There was a solid selection of extra small and small in basically every category, but the medium and up sections were noticeably smaller in comparison. Not impossible to shop if you are a larger size, just slimmer pickings. I saw plenty of cute stuff but nothing that I couldn't also find elsewhere for less, so I left empty handed. The clothes are genuinely nice, it just comes down to what you are looking for and what you are willing to spend. If you are hunting for higher end brands at a discount this is your spot. If you are looking for a classic thrift store haul on a budget, you might leave a little underwhelmed. I am a cheapskate with taste, but I guess I'm cheaper than this store allows. One highlight: the first song playing when we walked in was Fate of Ophelia by Taylor Swift, so I appreciated that immensely. read more

See all

Cute little boutique thrift store, I noticed it does cater to a younger crowd. They do have clothes and accessories but the cost was higher than other places. I wasn't able to find anything for myself. I probably won't be back. I have better luck elsewhere like Platos closet, turnstyle or my sisters closet. . read more

Came in with gently used items to sell from Levi's, Lululemon, and Nike, but they didn't take anything -- which was surprising and a first for me. Maybe you'll have better luck, but based on my experience, I'd recommend trying another resale shop. read more

We had a girls outing and stopped in, never been here before, but they had such a great selection and variety of designer items. The staff was super sweet and lucky for us. Blue tags that day were additional 50% off. However, one of my items there was an issue I called not expecting anything but just trying to give them a heads up and Alicia I'm probably spelling her name wrong. I believe she was a manager was super sweet apologetic told me to come in and she will take care of me. I was caught off guard because I didn't feel like anything could be done at this point so customer service and hospitality alone 10 out of 10. Once I came in, I received the same hospitality from another young lady who directed me to Alicia. It was one of the best customer service experiences I experienced in a while. Definitely will be coming back. read more

2 stars for the usually good Lululemon selection. 3 stars knocked off because I don't like hearing the N And F word while I shop. Can't you guys play the clean version of songs? It's not that hard. read more

Very clean and organized store. They have a great variety of name brands at affordable prices. I feel like they are very selective, in a good way, of the items and quality as well as brands that they accept. I always visit while in town! read more

This store is usually stocked with merchandise and everything is pretty organized. The register area always has the latest trinkets / accessories that you see popular on social media which is pretty convenient if you don't want to order it online. I have sold clothes / shoes here a few times and the employees are usually friendly. They normally purchase some of my items and after doing the math they pay out at about $2.50 per item. The clothes and shoes on the racks / stands are a hit or miss. Some times the inventory is good and sometimes you question who did the buying... Prices are bit on the higher side for certain items and at times I feel like its better off buying it new. read more

THEY ARE STEALING FROM YOU!! I tried to sell 10 items so I'll know which items they will buy from me because the moment I stepped in I feel "a vibe" ... they bought 5 items but they only gave me 3 of my items back!! 2 are missing!! They are both Lululemon items!! ** it did get resolved but lesson learned, count your items before and after you sell from them. Also the workers are so unhappy and judgy like they own a luxury store. They never smiled everytime I go therr. read more

Not my type of thrift store but that doesn't mean they're bad in any way. They're more high end slightly used or new stuff. Well laid out. It's a little tight and a bit hard to move around but doable. All clothes, shoes and accessories. No toys, tools, household things or furniture. Can't say much about the service, came in without a hello, walked around for 20 minutes and left without a good day. Last word... nope. read more

Came in a minute ago to sell a few things brought a bag in with about 3 shirts and some jeans . One shirt which was a designer jersey costed about $120 , another shirt paid $50 the other just a reg shirt and jeans. Waited for them to search through clothes and wandered the store as they did so. Came back to the register where my clothes were already put back in bag and lady told me $16 . I agreed not knowing which items they took and realized when i got back to my car that they took the most expensive shirt and the 2 other shirts and put the rest back in the bag so i didnt notice! definitely my fault on that end but watch out. Dont need a response from the business thanks! read more

I'm surprised by the low star reviews from this store. I'm here to write an honest review about how much I actually really enjoy reselling at this location & all my experiences being a seller/purchaser. I've resold my items a handful of times & I have never felt as if they "low balled me" on an offer. They give about 25% more cash value in trade. As a thriftie you have to keep in mind it's all about the brands/item's conditions/what's in trend when reselling. Most of the time when I do decide to sell- I come in with a tote or two of items that no longer fit me (but are still in style.) Staff has always been friendly, very accommodating, and truthful & I've always respected that. Now as a consumer- I've been coming here for years when I'm looking for a staple piece such as a jacket, a purse, shoes, or a dress for any upcoming events & 9/10's they have always held up in my little thrifted closet (because of the precision they have with picking up clothes from sellers) which I'm so grateful for! On a side note; they have the cutest accessories & I always cave at the check out counter for new croc charms/oil diffusers/wallets and hats. By far my favorite thrift store in the valley. read more

I don't understand the negative reviews for this place. Yes this store caters to a younger audience and buys more high end pieces, they don't hide this on their social media, website or just by looking around the store for the styles and brands they sell. In my opinion, they pay a lot more for higher end/name brand pieces than other similar stores. Want to set your own prices? There are plenty of online platforms out there, I use them too. I would reccomend calling and see what styles they are looking for and washing your clothes and checking them for holes/stains to save yourself the aggravation and dissapointment. The owner and her staff are very kind and when you sell here you're supporting a small woman-owned business! read more

Out of all the locations this one is my favorite. They keep it very organized and the prices are good. The employees have been always very friendly. I've been able to find some great and unique pieces. I've sold clothes here and I got offered a fair price. Also I love that they offer to donate what they don't buy. Saved me a trip. Lol read more

stopped in 10 minutes prior to close looking for a long white flowy skirt for my Eurotrip and was not disappointed. found just what I was looking for plus a cute necklace and earrings! girlies working on Saturday 9/7 were all super sweet as well! will definitely be back! read more

Reviewed items in decent time, but most of my teams were brand name golf shirts, I had basically new ray bans, J. crew button downs unworn. Didn't want any items. Have sold here before and I think they only take men's designer stuff like Gucci and things because that's all that was on the shelf. And it was all pretty worn stuff that nobody will likely ever buy. I don't understand the buying process here with men's things. Nobody would want what they have in their tiny men's section, I bring them nice mens attire and they want none of it. They need someone else looking at their mens items because otherwise they're missing half the market. Men don't want the feminine looking things on their shelf. Then they asked if I want to donate it. Yes of course I want to donate the ray bans I paid $200 for and are basically brand new. Good question! They don't know mens attire at all unfortunately for me. Good effort but will not be back. read more

I have been on the hunt for affordable jeans for a while now and have been scouring vintage and thrift shops. Was excited to find a pair here that fit me perfectly for $10 today! This store is well organized. Pricing seemed fair to me. Some good brands too and most things looked to be in great condition. Would come back for sure. read more

This place is HORRIBLE!!!!!! When management/ or a team lead HAS to ask the employee what color you are, to give a refund, it's sad. It's impossible for minorities to get anything of value, when trading here. Came in twice to trade in two designer bags. The first bag is worth $300, and she wanted to offer me $11, and it was a DKNY in mint condition. The second, a new Coach bag worth $500, and her offer was $40. Both times, they had some of the most absurd excuses. I used the websites they informed me of, that they use. None of the pricing are similar to what I found on there. They, then informed me of another site they use but a name was never mentioned. It's called not being truthful/ honest towards minorities. This place needs to practice diversity.....Instead of management worrying about customers and their ethnicity, they should worry about how their employees look and dress. read more

Good selection, bit hit or miss since it is secondhand. It is very organized and fun to search for the gems. The dressing rooms are the best out of any secondhand store in the valley. I haven't sold here yet. read more

don't even bother selling your clothes here. They don't take anything but yet you see they're selling cheap Shein on their shelves for a ridiculous price. it's supposed to be a second hang store but all their prices are incredibly high for such & it doesn't make sense. brought in brand new nike , miss me, hollister, victoria secret. all passed what a shame. read more

I went here about 3-4 times but today I came in with 3 big bags filled with clothes most new or barley used and they didn't even check at all and they offer shitty price for the clothes the customer service is mid asf look like they busy but their not if your guy don't shop here it's straight mid shit and if your a girl most of the stuff is tacky and overpriced or some weird weak ass brand but overall this place is 3/10 go to Buffalo exchange for clothes or everything and namebrand for shoes and other designer items but cheapskate is just weak read more

Good place to shop but you'll be wildly underpaid if you try selling your clothes just for it to be marked up in price when they put it on the shelves read more

Hit or miss. It takes a lot of patience to go through the racks and look for gems. Some of the gems are overpriced.

Best experience I have ever had at a retail shop. The employees were KIND which is not something I ever experience at these kinds of places. They were so kind, extremely quick, and the store had so many cute clothes. I was pleasantly surprised and would drive the extra 20 min to come here over the other local options read more

They offer shitty deals and I brought some clothes and they didn't even check them don't recommend coming here shit wack

everytime i have ever shopped here, it has been more than a fabulous trip! the employees are helpful & sweet. i have purchased so many great pieces here. everything ranging from nike to urban outfitters & free people. all of the pieces are in tip top condition. i have also sold clothes here multiple times and they make it a smooth easy process. read more

I have a question for you, is there an audio to go along with your cameras, if there is then you can easily hear what the sales person said to me about the return policy, you will hear there was no mention about discounted items, please let me know, also the reason I didn't try the cloths because they are not for me ( Christmas presents ) and again I didn't check them thoroughly because I was told that I can return them for store credit, don't mean to be a pain, just want the truth to be out there read more

When they first opened they were great but now you bring name brand items that they are looking for and they don't take them. The items they are taking are tacky looking now and such a disappointment! Staff is sometimes friendly sometimes rushing you out . read more

I use to love coming here until I came in today to donate to sunshine acres and use some credit on my account that I had previously had from selling my clothes. I had asked one of the employees to check how much credit I had left and she replied that I had none, which left me really confused because I know I had gotten some a few months before. So I asked her if the credit expires and she basically told me it doesn't and that I only came in once to cash out for my clothes which isn't fully true. This girl is taller, dirty blonde fair skin, I didn't catch her name but I'm not sure what her problem was, she had a really snooty attitude for no reason and made me uncomfortable because it seemed like she wanted me to go away already. So I ended buying a few things and when I was checking out with another girl, much shorter and very sweet, she asked me if I had wanted to use my store credit and I was like "I thought I didn't have any? and she showed me it was clearly on the screen so I ended up using it and thanked her because that was $35 I had on my account. However, unfortunately I won't be coming into this thrift store anymore because of that first employee having a nasty attitude and lying to me about money I knew I had on my account. read more

These girls for the last 3 times that I bring clothes in they're like oh it's a style or the age or something like that when all the c*** that they have in their store is like outdated and ugly and they're just doing this to me every time now and I'm bringing clothes for my son's girlfriend who's 25 who actually just as very hip and cool and my son who actually dresses nice so this is just a thing where they only buy from their friends or somebody that has really ugly stuff so they waste your time waiting And then they tell you it must be the style or the condition and you know it the c*** that they have in this store is so unbelievable that I wouldn't even spend a penny here I always asked for the cash If you want to buy garbage you can get it from the goodwill but I don't know Dillard's and other nice stores like that apparently that's outdated to them I guess because nobody can afford to shop at Dillard's in wet night so anyway I would never go back here again and I would highly suggest that if you do be prepared for them to offer you 2 cents for $200 because they turn around and sell it themselves. This time I actually bought in some brand new clothes and they were like oh well they're just their condition LOLI just was doing a test and they failed so I won't be doing business with them neither will many many of my friends and family and all my sons 8000 followers they won't be doing business with you read more

Brought my items in at 10:50 and was quoted 20 minutes and two hours later I am having to leave with my items since they were still not completed. Employees are extremely rude and unhelpful. Would never recommend this place. read more
