Avant Garb is such a gem. They have a large selection and plenty of sales racks with great finds. Their weakness lies in customer service. Even if you’re the only person shopping, they won’t great you or thank you when you leave. If you are walking around with lots of items, they don’t offer to start a room for you. These are easy things to do that greatly help the quality of a store. If you’re a solo shopper and don’t want assistance, this is a great place! If you’re looking for personal interaction, go elsewhere.

Awesome selection. Helpful staff. Prices are $ 10 – 15. Most are gently used name brands.

I love this place! I’m a size 14 tall and I think I run on the large end of the sizes they carry here, but nonetheless I’ve scored some fantastic finds at this place over the last few years. I love that their clothes in front are organized by color! The staff is friendly and the prices are on the upper end of reasonable.

I just stumbled into Avant Garb today today and it was so great! I usually take my things down to Deja Vu for consignment but I usually don’t find clothes that I really like there. Avant Garb is a little bit more expensive than other consignment stores, but their clothes are much more current than Deja Vu. If anyone is looking for some cute «new» clothes, I would highly recommend this little gem!

This is one of my favorite places to get clothes in Ashland.
They are a mix of consignment and new clothes.
If you are looking for goodwill prices, this is not the place for you. Their clothes are consigned with care and the prices reflect that.
But you can find some unique pieces and they have some nice accessories.

THe girls that work there are alittle snobby. THe blonde is sometimes friendly. Ive found some really cute stuff here but its pretty overpriced for used clothing. Id try it out and see if you find something. Been to better thrift stores for sure.

This place was always a hit or miss for me.
Some of my friends would go in and score designer jeans or North Face jackets for cheap, while I would always leave empty handed. I did manage to get a sweet pair of sunglasses here one time.
They seem to have a good selection of clothes but for being re-​sale everything is still really expensive. It’s clean, and organized, but not worth the mark-​up. For example, something that is from Target should not be sold for about the same price it was when it was orginally sold in stores.
I would say if you are walking downtown to stop in and see what you can find, but don’t come in expecting a lot. Also the workers here were always cold and rude.

They had some really cute stuff, but for resale it was waaaay overpriced. Staff literally did not say a word except to each other. A little pretentious for my taste.

Avant Garb is a GREAT consignment shop! I love to shop and shop often. I go every week and there are always new choices and great name brands. The buyers have excellant style and taste offering choices for all ages. They even carry many vintage pieces. The staff is friendly and it’s just a fun atmosphere. For great clothing for great prices go to Avant Garb and have FUN!
Thanks for being in Ashland

I was visiting from Seattle and Avant Garb would give any vintage/​thrift store in the city a run for its money. It’s an extremely well-​curated consignment shop selling both used and new items.
I noticed a large selection of Free People dresses and knits by Velvet, Ella Moss and Splendid. They also have a nice collection of new Hobo International bags and clutches for over 50% off; what amazing steals! I found a lovely Floreat blouse originally sold at Anthropologie and paid only $ 18 for it.
The only negatives were the small shoe selection and apathetic salespeople.

Spent quite a while here while we were on vacation in Ashland. The store is organized, in some random sort of way.
The staff was not friendly, they did not offer any help and barely said hello.
Pricing seemed a little off kilter but they had some great sales racks.

Avant Garb is a high end consignment shop that eclipses the other choices in Ashland which include Deja Vu and Goodwill. AG offers new clothes as well from boutique stalwarts like Miss Me and Free People, but the focus is on recycled fashion. Shoe girls like myself tremble at finding gently worn Fluvogs, Pliners, Danskos and Mephistos at oh so reasonable prices. The half-​off section at the back of the store can score the eagle-​eyed thrifter a Cavalli skirt for $ 10 or boutique dresses from the pricey stores like Nimbus along Siskyou at precipitous discounts. AG is a necessary stop for fashion-​minded visitors to Ashland of either gender.

Great boutique with new and gently worn designer clothing. I’d purchased some cute items at A.G., in the past but the salespeople needed some serious training in customer service. Every time I was on the verge of inquiring about a particular frock, I’d felt I was intruding, for they seemed far too engaged in conversations with each other. A.G., I’ll be happy to give them four or more stars, just as soon as their employees tone down their Beverly Hills attitude, and show some respect to their customers.
Engaging in conversation with your clientele, or at the very least answering their questions as if you’re interested would help a great deal. Cracking a smile is not that difficult… ;-)

I paid AG a visit today and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the only employee in the store was a sweet and helpful young blond woman.
+1 star.

I’m an avid ebay shopper, so I occasionally find that I’ve purchased something that is lovely, but just not my taste. I’ve gotten in the habit of giving these items new life by taking them to Avant Garb, my favorite Ashland consignment shop. The clerks tend to be picky about what they’ll take, but if you bring them quality clothing, you can expect to be fairly paid for your contribution.
The shopping selection varies from season to season. Sometimes you’ll find some really awesome designer pieces, and sometimes it seems like the place is just filled with tattered Wet Seal blouses and stinky sweaters. The staff is unusually withdrawn and not very friendly, but they seem to be very hard working at the same time. Still, I keep coming back.
