Second Time Around

Ok, the haters need to zip it. This place is the most. I am in medical training which means I have lots of student loan debt (Med school!) but expensive taste. I love Rebecca Taylor and equipment silk blouses and theory pants– but at $ 300 a pop that’s not possible– except STA makes it possible. I have bought more silk and cashmere designer duds from here than I can keep track of (for at least 5 years) Nikki is a drag and has even called me when fantastic things come in my size. So wise up and head over if you are in love with luxe but don’t have a trust fund.

I’m not really sure what all the negative reviews are about– this place is great. I’ve bought an amazing Sue Wong evening gown, several beautiful vintage coach purses, countless silk blouses (equipment which are like $ 300 at Saks) I could go on.
Love the staff too, so sweet always

Came with my mom and sister who were visiting from out of town hoping to do some vintage shopping. This place was awful. The clothes were sub par and that’s being kind. A several years old, worn, thin Jones of NY long sleeve tee was $ 20. I would scoff at paying $ 5 for that at a thrift store. The «vintage» and «designer» sections were laughable. The woman working there never spoke to us when we entered and upon leaving made a rude comment under her breath. Three are a million vintage stores on Milwaukee in this area, definitely avoid this one.

I brought in a pair of true religions and after the 90 days they didn’t sell. I went back to the store to retrieve my jeans and they told me «they lost them» and «there is nothing we can do about it, and we aren’t going to do anything about it» think twice about using this place. There are plenty of other consignment stores in the area.

Everything about this place is mediocre. Selection is largely heinous, sparse and overpriced. Even the music selection was enough to make you want to leave.

Although I did not have a bad consignment experience, I feel like I could have saved a lot of time and made the same amount of $ if not more at Crossroads a few doors down. I do not feel like I got a fair price for many of my items. I wish I had known they would continually mark down my items or place them on nonsense sales. Some of the things I would rather keep than sell for $ 10 only to get $ 3.50 of it in that case… It seems like a really good idea and it seems like its worth it, but unless you’ve already tried to sell your items everywhere else with no luck, dont come here… You’d be better off giving your items to goodwill instead of waiting 3 months for a check for $ 30 for over $ 300 worth of merchandise…

Compared with some of the other consignment shops we hit in the area, this place is the best by far.
It’s clean and bright. The quality of clothes are top notch. It’s organized well, and the clothes aren’t stuffed to the max. A majority of the clothes had a colored sticker, corresponding with the percentage discount.
One weird thing is that one of the dressing room mirrors is ridiculously distorted. The attendant told me to come out to look at myself instead of judging inside. If they know the mirror is bad, why not just replace it?

Good selection and prices. Mostly ladies but some men’s items as well. I did pull a «large» RL sweater off the men’s rack only to get home and find out it was a large women’s apparently. But that’s okay, my daughter loves it.

I was so disappointed with my consignment experience here. My diane von furstenberg dress sold for maybe $ 15 and prior to that I was told the dress was lost and I would be receiving nothing for their error. These are the pitfalls of consignment, yes. But until they get better organized, I won’t be returning.

This place is absolutely wonderful! They choose great pieces, and the items are almost always in immaculate condition. There is always an amazing selection of shoes and skirts from designers. The staff is also very helpful and polite.
All in all, if you are looking for high-​end designer pieces at a fraction of a cost, this is the place to go! They also have great sales too. I’ll be making monthly trips to here for sure!
