This store has a boutiquey feel to it, like women's clothing stores used to have. It feels very…read moreupscale. The prices are reasonable for name brand clothing in pristine condition. They have shoes, bags, accessories, anything a gal needs in a wide range of sizes. In other words, it's not 10 year old Missoni in size 4 masquerading as a consignment shop (and I WORSHIP Missoni). If you are larger than a 10, you will find plenty of options here. There is also a small selection of men's clothing. Juniors or women who like to think they are juniors, this store is not for you. This is a shop for women who don't mind admitting they are over the age of majority. Clothes are arranged by type and by size, so if you're looking for a jacket, there is a section for jackets, skirts, etc. I was tempted by the most buttery soft ultra suede skirt in a light purple. But then I remembered, I'm only buying black and white anymore. I didn't rate this store higher because the sales clerk (who I know is not the owner) did not greet me or make any effort to engage me when I came into the store. In fact, it felt like she was avoiding me. When customers walk into a store, it's customary to say "hello, are you looking for something special"? Don't walk behind the counter as though I'm not there. I wasn't even rockin' the nose ring; but I'm not inclined to return when there are so many other options. ( As an aside, I've walked into Nordy's looking like crap on a tray and I've still gotten stellar customer service). Anyway, this store has very nice clothing and excellent prices, they also take plastic. Don't know what the return policy is, cause, well you know...I hope you have a better experience. 03/29/2011 I never mentioned children's clothing in this review. If you looked at my profile and reviews, you would know that I am not spamming. I write about my encounter with a business, which in this case was a departure from what I experienced from local consignment shops. It should also be noted that my review was complimentary of the store in general and the merchandise.

I've been going to Charmingly Linda's for quite some time now. They have a new location, so if…read moreyou've been a customer in the past, you might want to note the new address. I just happened to see the big consignment sign near the street on Lancaster Ave as I was driving by and I made a "U" turn. I didn't know it was Charmingly Linda's, but I'm glad I found it again. This is a nice store. It is not glamorous (though I think they are trying). The clothes are down to earth clothing, not much stuff for the younger crowd. Mostly they stock women's clothing, shoes, bags, accessories. They have a very small men's department. When I was there they had a huge selection of Vera Bradley bags. It is hit or miss. One thing many may not know is that Linda's husband sells things on E-bay. With the population aging, there are more and more people who need this service. I will go back from time to time cause I like to see what's there. I've gotten slacks, tops and a raincoat in the past. Best of luck thrifting.

If you are furnishing your shore house (as I am) or going for the cottage/shabby chic look, this is the place in the 'burbs. The prices at Vintage home are so reasonable. They (the three ladies that own it) buy quality "vintage" stuff - not necessarily antiques, but think stuff from the '40s-'60s, and paint them white. I bought an incredible oversized carved mirror and it was only $200, a good sized antique french style linen press for $400, and a pair of french style bedside tables for $300. All are solid wood and very good quality pieces. For the price, it's not even worth hunting and hunting for decent quality furniture at yard sales, etc and then painting it yourself. These ladies have done all the work for you. Their prices are so low that they don't negotiate - and the stuff flies out of the store. They won't hold anything over the weekend since there is such turnover of their inventory, so if you see something you want, buy it. Have your measurements in hand because if you go home to measure someone else will scoop it up (as I did with the linen press. ;-) ) If you are looking for something in particular, you can give your name and they'll do the hunting for you. They don't take Amex and are closed on Mondays. I'll be back Tuesday for round 3....

The Velvet Shoestring accepts consignments on high quality pre-owned modern, vintage and antique items - think Waterford, Herend, Herman Miller. Pricing changes based on the time an item is available, dropping every 30 days. This is noted on the tag so if, say, you want something but don't want to pay the current price you can take your chances that it won't sell by the time the price drops. When I say something is a relative bargain, I mean they Eden at the most reduced price you will not find a Tiffany lamp for $5. Consider that the lamp was, let's say, $900 new, they might price it at $400 to start and it's still a good price for what it is. They don't negotiate beyond the tag. Staff are minimal and unobtrusive. You're generally left to wander the two floors (main floor, lower floor) to your hearts content. It's a lovely store that I enjoy visiting every few weeks to see what's new and what I might want - the other day I bought the stained glass lamp in one of the photos. I love it.

I absolutely love this shop and vibe!  The selection feels thoughtfully curated and the best part is that their prices are affordable. The denim selection is amazing, and I'm obsessed with all the crochet pieces. The jewelry is just as good -- tons of gold, plus beautiful silver pieces (which is so in right now). My life was forever changed when I found the best pair of aviators here -- I've been dreaming about glasses like these, and somehow they were just sitting there waiting for me. That's the kind of place LuLus is. If you're looking for something unique and one-of-a-kind, this is exactly where you should shop. It's the kind of boutique you keep coming back to for the fun, the glamour, and of course, because you never know what you'll find next. Thank you! Support local

Since F was in Phoenixville on business, I figured I could dash in and check to see if it was still there. When we got to the door there was a sign up saying the store was closed for inventory....oh no I was so disappointed BUT the lovely lady inside saw me peeking in and opened the door. I told her my story and she was so kind and gracious to let me in as long as "I didn't mind the mess". Alas, the dress was nowhere to be found (my fault for not snatching it up when I had the chance). The co-owner even called her partner while I was there to see if she knew the location of the dress. I love when someone goes above and beyond what is expected in order to help a customer. Kudos to you Lulu...I will be back.

It about killed my soul to see an awesome vintage salt & pepper mixed in with newer dishes in a consignment lot. Aaah! Staff are great, the store is clean and bright. I'll definitely be back.
