Lots of variety, very well-​organized store. doesn’t have the appearance of your average thrift/​consignment shop. Prices are very reasonable and the employees are friendly and attentive. Hidden gem in Mount Pleasant for sure! Will be coming back :)

Great inventory, very reasonably priced and the staff was so nice and friendly. Left my necklace in the fitting rooms and they mailed it to me since I’m from out or town. I will most definitely be back.

This store is great! I almost didn’t go in after reading the negative reviews (which by the way are mostly written by people who were disappointed that they weren’t able to sell their clothes for more). As a shopper, I was impressed! Lots of stuff, and reasonable prices. I could have spent the afternoon in there. Things were organized by size and color. Staff was friendly and helpful. If you love to thrift, if you enjoy the hunt, or just like a bargain… don’t pass this place by.

I could not get out of this store, it was so amazing and I could’ve literally spent hours in there. I really wish I lived closer to it but I would gladly make a trip to go shopping there because it is just so good. They had all my favorite high end brands at a fraction of the cost and the store was well organized and the ladies working were very helpful!

NEVER EVER SELL CLOTHES TO THEM! Tried to pay me $ 4 for a designer dress that had barley been worn. When I walked around the store I saw that they were selling the exact same dress for $ 25. RIP OFF! Also tried to give me $ 15 for a pair of RayBan aviators because «they had a scratch on the lense» which was not true what so ever. Just an excuse. Absolute RIP OFF! And so beyond rude. I would never waste my money buying anything from there. They rip you off entirely especially with nice designer clothes. This place honestly needs to go out of business because they are completely unfair and their staff is incredibly rude. I don’t know how or why they think it’s okay to rip people off so much and treat them so poorly!

Uptown CHEAPskate is the perfect name for this ridiculous store. Trying to sell my $ 225 brand new shoes and the want to buy them for 20% of the value… I don’t think so. And being rude after I decide to not sell them. okay? Only sell your ugly clothes that you don’t care getting more than a dime for. Because thats all you will get at this store.

You better just go ahead and block an afternoon off on your calendar dedicated just to touching every article of clothing in this hand-​me-​down retail heaven. Every time I shop here I end up spending at least an hour going through all the merch. I feel like I have a rich big sister in Mt. Pleasant that spends her forty hour work week singularly on the search for the perfect brands. Then, tired of wearing the same dress twice, she casts it off to me for a sinfully cheap price. It’s really the best quality consignment type store in the area for the 20-​something gal.
I have sold my clothes here before, and I highly recommend trading the clothes in for Uptown credit. Lets be honest… who can go in there to sell clothes without perusing the racks upon racks of name brand and seasonally appropriate outfits at a discounted price? Just see it as an investment opportunity to get the best return on your boutique bucks. Then, you will also have an excuse to clean out your jammed packed closet (and sneak in a few new things when your husband’s not looking). See you there dolls ;)

Decent upscale thrift shop type place. I didn’t find anything to buy after a quick peruse, but their button-​up shirts were like $ 10 which isn’t bad for some name brands. Might have to go back and take another look next week.

I was told this place was amazing… so i ventured on over… i love a good funky find and i was throughly disappointed… did not like the atmosphere or energy… and it was not shopper friendly… maybe it was the full moon… so instead of bashing big… i will try again… i usually do 3 strikes… but heck i can be swayed by change… felt the prices were a bit steep for USED frocks… and man i LOVE… WHEN employees are there to say hi… and are HELPFUL…

I shop here frequently. I’m ashamed to say how much I have spent here. The clothes are second hand but cute. They do a good job with acquisitions. However, I can’t get over the fact that the people who work here are snots. I have had sweeter service at Bloomingdales. Also, the last time I shopped there they introduced a customer loyalty card to me. I was elated! I was 80 cents short of a stamp to the next level. Hmmm… Thinking back over my past year of weekly shopping trips… Not sure I am so loyal these days.

Not just once, but the past few times I’ve gone into this store the store employees couldn’t have been more rude. «Abrupt» was what a friend referred to them as (especially the manager) when I told her about my most recent trip in. There is NO southern charm here! My daughters favorite clothing line is Free People. She found several items to try on. She noticed that one of the items was marked «Free People» on the store tag, but not the clothing item itself. When she asked girl if the item was Free People, she was so rudely treated. as though SHE switched that tags! This is one out of a handful of witnessed rude behavior. I will NOT return to this store! Why everyone is miserable here is beyond me!

While they have an okay selection of items here if you are in the market for used clothing I would not suggest attempting to sell items.
I took in very selected seasonal items (everything from designer pieces to boutique items to stuff from target and forever 21) to gauge what their market is. They took 4 items out of 20 all still with tags on them. They were mostly pieces from target. They offered me $ 13 for 4 with new tags items. I happened to get to see what they marked the items as for resale and it was $ 6, $ 8, $ 9, $ 6. I don’t know if I would sell to this place again.
They cover the full spectrum: clothes, shoes, jewelry, purses, workout attire, hats, etc.

I would compare this place to a plato’s — the set up is similar and they usually have more items geared to young adults. This also means their prices are quiet cheap and they miss-​price authentic designer items like miu miu. It’s well organized and clean with sofa chairs to try on shoes. I haven’t consigned there yet.

I was disappointed in my experience trying to consign clothes here. I brought in several name brand items such as Polo and American Eagle. They didn’t take any of these items and said they only buy what is currently selling at malls… which made no sense! What they did take were off brand items and gave me an insulting offer. I would not waste my time trying to sell to them!

Cheapskate is an appropriate name! While you might find some cute things here do not bother trying to sell your stuff. I brought some things in (a range from a high end Dior purse to some express jeans all in good condition) just to see what I could get. After taking almost an hour and a half to sort through my things (about 8) I was offered $ 15! The offer was so insulting I wish I had just donated the stuff to charity instead. Oh and they tried to keep the things they passed on. I asked for the stuff they declined back and and they said they didn’t have anything else of mine. I had to ask them to give it back. Save your time and don’t bother.

I stopped in to consign some of my Vineyard Vines items and quickly turned around. There is no way my preppy clothes would have sold unless I sewed gold studs on them. The place is filled with mostly hideous cheap low end junk. And the entire store has that really bad musty old clothes smell. I did happen to see the same pair of shorts I bought at Loft last summer for 8 dollars. They had them priced at 17.99. Obviously they have no idea how to price items. Do they really think used Loft shorts are worth that? With so many other good consignment stores in MtP I can’t imagine going to this one. It is a loser.

My mom and I stopped by here since it was on the same exit to Trader Joes. Although we didn’t get anything, it was a nice afternoon stop when it was raining and had some very cute, wearable stuff if you were to find yourself to have mispacked while staying in the area, or were just looking for a few new clothes. As expected in South Carolina, they had a fair amount of preppy clothes, a good selection of Vera Bradley purses, and lots of nice men’s clothing also.
Prices for most items were between $ 10-​$ 20.

Do not bother trying to sell your items here! They turned down like new condition, high name brand items… and what little they did take, for what they paid I would rather have donated it to charity!
