Designer Consignor

For anyone that is interested in selling with designer consignor, I would strongly advice against it. I have used this business 3 times and will never go back. The first time, I only dropped off a few items and made a decent profit so I was very happy with my experience, aside from the owner’s less than pleasant demeanor. The second and third time, my combined total was very low and simply did not seem to add up. When I requested to take my items that did not sell back (something I did not do the first time) it was a very difficult process. I was told to try to find them myself and they seemed to be no where to be found. I think this seems awfully strange that nothing could be located including designer jeans and jackets that should have been pretty easy to find. She said maybe they got donated since it was already past the 2 months since dropping them off. I would like to note that when I came in the first time it was within the two month time period and my items were not in store and it does not make sense to me that you would donate citizen jeans and hudson jeans when those are items that could sell at any time. This is a lesson learned on my part, but I hope no one else chooses this consignment shop when their are many more with owners that are more honest and pleasant to work with.

I grew up on consignment clothes and love to hunt for really nice pieces that I would not otherwise be able to afford. This place is great for supplementing any wardrobe with designer pieces. I even found a well-​tailored suit that fit me perfectly to wear to a job interview (I am NOT a suit person). Of course, I got the job). As far as consignment shops go, this store (and its sister store, Two Doors Down), is a winner– clothes are all in great shape, neat jewelry finds, high-​end shoes, and helpful staff.

To be honest, I am not a consignment store afficionado. Wearing clothes that once belonged to someone else is generally not something that I want to do. I should probably just get over myself on that account. But I do love a good hunt for unique and interesting things (find me a great yard-​sale or antique store and I’m there) so when a friend of mine, who is a consignment shop lover, came to visit for the weekend, off we went to check this place out. We found a tiny treasure trove of «better“clothes, accessories, handbags and jewelry. I thought there was a really nice selection of items that were chosen with some care. This is not a place where any old thing is accepted for resale. There were some good higher end labels and even a few vintagy pieces. There were a couple of cases of jewelry.
Everything looked clean and in good shape. The store is laid out nicely and the prices were very reasonable. The real draw however just might be the shop owner… I’m sorry to say I have forgotten her name! But she was so much fun to talk to, helpful, chatty and ready to bargain. A couple of other customers came in and the scene became downright convivial. My friend found a great handbag that she adores. And I found a really great dragonfly brooch. It felt like the joining of two of my favorite things: pins and insects, especially dragonflies. I’ve gotten lots of compliments! Worth checking out for sure. You’ll have some fun and maybe even find a little treat.
