Worth Repeating

Best kept secret! I am from Manhattan but when I go to Saratoga I always make it a point to stop here! The place is very clean, organized and easy to browse. The owner is my favorite – she is poised and polished and she always is welcoming. She knows what I like and will often text me pix when she gets great things. I bought a pair of Chanel sandals there for $ 88 and a pair of CLB for $ 44! I am writing this review bc the other review was so critical, I did not think it was fair. And now the secret is out… Oh, and my sister bought a beautiful silk Oscar de la Renta jacket for $ 150! Spectacular!

I visit this consignment shop from time to time, and I forget how they make me feel, so I am reminded again how the sales staff/​owner are very pretentious. This shop does carry a lot of high end name brand merchandise, but it is used. The last time I was there, and it will be my last, I had a small clutch purse in my hand that I was planning on purchasing, but I wasn’t done poking around the racks, as I got closer to the front door, out of nowhere appeared one of the sales staff, and she stood in front of me and told me that she will take the clutch and hold it for me at the counter so I can continue shopping. Talk about feeling like a thief, the clutch weighed no more than a pound, I had no trouble carrying it around while I shopped. I also admired a necklace that just had come in and wasn’t priced yet, I inquired about it, and she checked on it and gave me a price out of my range, when I told her no thank you, she said «well, this IS a designer that Michelle Obama wears.» Yeah, well, please get off your high horses, this is a consignment shop. I think their merchandise is really nice, but for this normal gainfully employed professional woman, I’ll take my business where I feel more comfortable and not a criminal.
