Clothz Minded

The limited selection of plus size clothing, and the work-​in-​progress layout of the store, are the only reasons why this is a 4-​out-​of-​5 star place. Had there been pants larger than a size 18, and there was more than one dressing room, it would be 5 stars!
Even though the plus size selection was small, I was able to find a few things to try on. The clothing is organized by color as opposed to size. For a boutique this size, I didn’t mind that, but it does make for a more casual, laid back experience than the quick rack-​hunting I do at box stores. If I had been in a hurry, I might not have liked that, but I wasn’t in a rush so I found it quite nice.
Maquoia, the cashier, was friendly and helpful to everyone. She greeted everyone as they came in, even when she was busy, and was happy to give input on outfits and accessories. She took time to help some men looking to perfect their outfits and never got impatient with them. I would go back just to hang out with her!
Maquoia mentioned that the store owner (who wasn’t in) has a lot of stuff waiting to be put out, and that they’re in the process of updating the space to make it even better. I plan to be back, and if you are a size small-​large I highly suggest checking it out, as there are a lot of pieces available for straight sizes.

Nicole, owner of Clothz Minded, has worked really hard to put together a fab store with a great location and a wonderful clothing selection. Everything is name brand and hand picked. You want help finding a good fit? She knows fashion & style! I’d trust her opinion any day. Every time I go in her shop, I always find great works of art to wear! Hit up her store and #shoplocal !

Might be nice if the place opened at 11 like they advertise. I’ve been sitting outside for 10 minutes and still no sign of anyone. Didn’t think I would be crunched for time to pop I before an 11:30 appointment but when a business can’t open on time it sure does. Frustrating!

The shop owner is incredibly friendly, but not overly so – you know what I mean? (Love that she brings her daughter to work too.) She’s progressively minded in the fashion resale world. Some might be bothered that she doesn’t organize by size, but I’m of the camp that believes fashion right now is pan-​size. She’s always looking to bring in high-​quality stuff, and that’s not defined by brand name or age. It’s not a vintage shop, but she carries some excellent older items, clothes that are modern and relevant. I’m always excited to come in, the prices are good, the clothes are even better, good ambiance, service. Support a local business owner and strong mom!

I visited Clothz Minded for the first time today after reading a positive review on Unilocal and instantly being intrigued. The signage and shop itself are impressive-​very boutique-​y with a cozy yet upscale feel to it. Parking in the area is meh-​but hey, that’s Westport for you.
In terms of the actual product, I think I went on a day where they just didn’t really have much to fit my tastes. Which is totally fine-​thus is the pro and con of consignment stores. I have a very bohemian aesthetic and much of what I found today tended to be a little more on the classic side, with spits of some vintage here and there (if only I could have rocked the blue, sequined, glamour-​shot inspired mini they had: D) I don’t believe my inability to find any items I liked had to do with necessarily the owner’s curation, but probably rather the area’s demographic and a high rate of stock turnover. In terms of pricing the items that I did glance at seemed fair, though a TINIER bit more expensive than I’d prefer (if I’m being completely honest.)
There were two reasons I gave this review three stars after my visit today: a.) I wasn’t greeted and b.) Some of the items in the cases didn’t have visible prices, nor could I easily identify the sizing of shoes on the upper shelves.
Aside from these couple of gripes, if I were ever in the area again I’d probably stop in and see if I had better luck the second time around. This store is a great concept, so I’m interested to see what future visits hold. :)

Wonderful store full of high end brands at a fair price. The owner takes time to ask what you’re looking for — and managed both buying and selling with ease.

In this update, I would like to address a few things from my previous review. My intention was not to bring a business down or to drag it’s name in the mud. The last time I went to this shop, there was no clothing in my size, there was only small sizes.
As someone that has struggled with their weight all their life, my feelings were hurt that nothing could be found in my size at this shop. I was once heavier, until I lost 50 pounds 5 years ago. I dropped down to a size 10 and I was proud of my self, because I was finally fitting in a size that I thought was acceptable in a society that is weight conscious. When you go to a shop after all the hard work you put in and they do not carry your new size, your feelings get hurt.
I was a little shocked at the time for the lack of sizing in this shop, because most of the competing consignment shops in the area, carries larger sizes. My previous words in my review were pretty harsh. I felt a lot of emotions after visiting this shop.
As someone that majored in sociology and women’s studies in college, I believe in standing up for women, especially women that struggle with body image. I let my emotions get the best of me, when I wrote my first review for this shop. As someone that once wore plus size clothing, I know how it feels to go shopping and being able to shop only 10% of the stores in the mall. I hope with this review, that the owner of this shop will become more conscious about selling and expanding to larger sizes for women. All women are beautiful whether they are a size 2,10, or 24.

Thrift store with gently used clothing (both men’s and women’s). I got a Jessica Simpson dress for around $ 35…probably originally priced at least double that. Thrift stores typically creep me out, except for places like this, with high quality name-​brands.

Got a great DKNY coat there today. Wide variety of sizes and clothes in good condition. Owner (and baby) are very friendly and helpful.

I’m really really picky about my jeans. I moved to Kansas City not so long ago and have hated the fact that there are no name brand outlet stores ANYWHERE NEAR HERE. There were three FULL MALLS of outlet stores in my last city, so that’s where I’m at with that. Cheap and high quality is what I ask for. And that’s what Clothz Minded delivers.
Just when I had given up forever, I discovered this wonderful place. I swear, I will never get my jeans from anywhere else in this city. Guess, Rockin’ Republic, Seven and Joe’s jeans for around $ 20? I’M SOLD.
Plus, the owner is such a doll. On multiple occasions I’ve asked her if she’s had some specific item of clothing in some specific size and she will be like «yes, I just got something like that in. Let me show you where it is.» or she will go and look through the clothes she hasn’t placed in the store yet that are waiting to be priced.
And they have serious sales. All. The. Time. This place rocks.

I love, love, love this place! Name-​brand designer clothes for so cheap! Plus they’re always playing fun music to make shopping even a greater experience. I feel like this place is a treasure chest for consignment shopping.
Today they had an extra 50% all of their clothes — it doesn’t get better than that!

love this store, lotsof awesome name brand cloths, can’t wait to go back!

I hate shopping for clothes in person. The reasons why are too numerous to list here.
It’s much less frustrating and easier for me to do this necessary life task online.
But shopping at a boutique that’s small and personable like Clothz Minded makes this chore actually pleasant; And it’s even more awesome when social responsibility is connected to buying clothes.
I found the clothes to be in super condition and high quality at very affordable prices. The store is very neat and organized, and I must say, I’m crazy about the price tags!
Much love and care has been invested in this shop, and it shows.

They are currently in a different location because of remodeling I believe. I went yesterday, but didn’t realize they were closed on Monday (according to the website they aren’t, but in the new location they are) so I came back today. The clothes were cute, and the place (albeit temporary) definitely didn’t feel like a thrift store. It was attractively laid out and the clothes didn’t feel old and gross. Plus they have clothes for women, men, AND children. This is good if you have children. I don’t, but I can appreciate that it would be good if you did… After my visit today, I didn’t fully feel like the time I had devoted was well spent.
My big gripe was that I didn’t find anything that I wanted to buy. The selection for my size was just kind of meager. I am a XS/​S, and there just wasn’t anything that great for me. With a different cycle of inventory, this could be a great little place to shop. I will give it time to get some new things in my size, move back into their normal home, and try back later.

Not your average resale shop… I have bought several jackets here that I get compliments on. Everything is laundered before coming to the store… big plus. Selection is not huge, but that’s a good thing as you don’t have to sort through stained/​faded/​missing button/​torn stuff. No dated items either, they lean more to timeless/​classic.

I’m not the normal girl when it comes to clothes shopping. I know what I need, I get in and get out. I also don’t like to spend a lot of money, so when I came across this little gem of a store in Westport I was as happy as my mom in Goodwill.
Every time I go there I find something that fits me, is in style, and will not break the bank. I really can’t say nicer things about this place. Thanks to them, I will never have to go into Arizona Trading Company again.

Well let’s start at the fact that i go in there and buy Entire outfits for my self for under 80 bucks. When i say Entire i mean down to the sport jacket to match. Like others have said the place is not to be missed while in west– port. And yes the lady that runs this place is very keen on the items she buys but hey that is good for everyone, further more let me tell you a little of the brands i have personally bought from here. White label, LV, coach, tommy Bahama, gap and i have even purchased coach, bebe, shoes for my lady. I Love this place to the point as soon as i get done typping im going to call and see if she has any true religion jeans BACK in or maybe shoes for my lady so you see your dilemma

Images of clothes with holes, stains, tears, worn fabric strewn haphazardly around a store is usually what comes to mind when I think of second hand shops. Far too many of these stores offer goods that don’t suit my style as I gravitate more toward the modern and trendy. They also invoke my allergies to flare up from the dust that has accumulated. Promptly banish all of these preconceived notions as none of that is the case at Clothz Minded!
The owner is particular about the brands and quality of the clothes that she sells. If there’s even the slightest stain or smallest hole, she won’t purchase it from you. Her keen eye ensures that all of the clothes are gently worn only and up-​to-​date with current trends. Some brands I’ve seen here include the familiar J Crew, Banana Republic, Seven for Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, and Fendi as examples. I’ve also spotted designer brands from other countries that I have never heard of.
I have been inside of the store several times and enjoy the aesthetics throughout — everything from the window display, the hardwood floors, lighting, to the logical arrangement of the product (men’s on the right, women’s in the center and left, maternity/children’s in the back, and shoes/​accessories lined on the back wall). If you didn’t know better, you would think you were inside of a hip boutique shop that sells new items.
Upon our first visit, my fiancée purchased an Express pin-​striped suit blazer that fit him remarkably well for a mere $ 35. A new one from the store would easily run $ 200. On subsequent visits, I’ve cleaned out my closet and hauled in the clothes that I couldn’t imagine donating especially the ones that still had the price tag on them. The trade-​in value is better here than at Plato’s Closet or Buffalo Exchange — there’s not one of these in KC but the last time I sold clothes was to this place. For the same amount of items Clothz Minded accepted, I only got about $ 16 back in cash there. Here I walked out with about $ 20 and an edgy zippered denim jacket that I must wear soon.
Go do some spring cleaning and sell or trade your clothes here!

Cute and well priced.
Not a ton to choose from, but it’s nice to not feel overwhelmed like some resale shops tend to make me.

This place is awesome. I happened in for their grand opening Saturday night.
— Cool décor
— Friendly, hip staff
— Fashionable used clothing (be green wear used)!
— Really good prices on vintage pieces. I have my eye on a couple of purses when I get back into town.
Yay for local businesses and double yay for women owned businesses!
