Cris is cleaver because somehow she has managed to run a used clothing store that doesn't smell like it's filled with other people's used stuff. How do you do it Cris? I've scan the aisles and shelves of Cris on many occasions and even though I've yet to buy one thing I do like what I see, I just haven't managed to find something I adore that suits me. The highlights of this store are the high end designer purses display behind the cash register. The employees know their stuff and I trust that they only carry the real deal here. Another thing that I really like about this place are all the fancy designer dresses that have left their Pac Heights home for this lilttle store on Polk. read more

A well-kept secret, one of the best consignment stores in the city, for both men and women. All high-end brands like Gucci, Pucci, Armani and even a little Marc Jacobs thrown in for good measure. read more

Cris is unlike any other used clothing store in the City. The clothes are in excellent to pristine condition and organized by color, and clean! No funky odors here. Like with any other used clothing store, it can be hit or miss, but it's fun to browse even if you can't find anything. read more

Love to peruse this local shop for exciting finds...Cris is packed with upscale pieces that are still affordable. I was there yesterday afternoon and recommend stopping in on a weekday at 3pm-ish to explore without the weekend crowd...it was a whole new Cris experience! I also had the pleasure to meet THE Cris as she rung up my new favorite jeans, blazer, shoes, and tank top...we got to chatting and as she was delicately wrapping my purchases in tissue paper she said "this one is on me" and didn't charge me for the tank... so sweet! She is a delightful person with a delightful shop....I highly recommend this place. read more

always find at least one great thing here, though the selection is geared toward smaller bodies (0-8). Sometimes find something outrageous like an Armani or Donna Karan for CHEAP! Worth the digging. read more

I came here on the rainy evening of Black Friday to consign a few items (I myself thought it was weird that on a day when everyone was buying, I was selling). I was slightly delirious from the rain, carrying my high-end clothing in a purple Jansport I've had since the beginning of time, and using a pink umbrella that refused to close properly. Nevertheless, the lady in charge of receiving items was extremely sweet, telling me to stop apologizing ("You're doing fiiiine") and even complimenting my lipstick color. She accepted all of my items except for an All Saints dress ("You should bring it back in the summer; it's a beautiful dress") and left me alone for a bit to price my own items, saying that if they were too low or too high, she'd work out something better. Which was honestly very comforting, as I'd paid quite a lot for them but I've always strangely been uncomfortable with selling things too high. But I had faith that they were highly wearable, tasteful, and unique. Lo and behold, when she saw my prices, she said that for at least two of them, she was sure they could sell for higher, and she would do some research! I have yet to call back (in a month, as usual) for their progress, but I feel oddly certain that she will help me sell them at a mutually satisfactory price. I waved a frantic goodbye to everyone working in the store (either because they were all terribly sweet or because I like people too easily...or both) and charged back into the downpour. read more

This is probably one of the best places to consign high end items from Manolo Blahniks to Chanel... the finds you can get here ranges from Couture to street chic- the prices are stellar and the staff very accommodating on lay aways...Other treats- are troves of accessory jewelry- from costume designs to tarantino bracelets. read more

I found a brand new, tags still attached, suggested retail price at over $2000 Dolce and Gabbana red lace stunner of a dress here, and I paid less than $100 for it. My friend bought a Versace mini-dress, brand new with tags, for $120. This was 2 summers ago and I haven't been since, but my friends that go frequently tell me that you can pick up some great (cheap) stuff there. All authentic and either in new or gently used condition. Some of the more pricey and/or hard-to-find haute couture houses like Chanel and Chloe are a bit over-priced (better prices on Ebay or on sale at Neimans), but like I said, sometimes you can find the most amazing deals ever here read more

Manolos for $120. Marc Jacobs flats for the same. "See by Chloe" dress for the same. Awesome shop, beautiful selection. There are some real gems - you have to take the time to really look and know your size with various designers. read more

I love Cris and her store!! She has amazing style and it shows in her well selected pieces from Banana Republic to Chanel! This is the place the pieces that you have dreamt of all in one place. I feel like a kid in a candy store everytime. Her commitment to her customers shows in her great advice and willingness to simply spend time and talk about the beautiful pieces she procures for her stunning collection. Also, if you ever need an LBD or LWD for that special occasion this is the place. I really wish I could work there too....this is my fave boutique in SF! read more

My wife just bought a Hermes scarf and I got her some nice Tom Ford glasses both like new. Impressive quality and great service.

I actually love how this store is set up. Very basic and simple. Although they do carry a lot of designer items, the men's section is basically non existent. Very tacky and not even good items. They seem to cater for a more older customer crowd. I didn't have a problem with the employees, they were actually very friendly to me. Someone even offered their card if I wanted to sell anything clothes I wanted to get rid of. Not really any complaints other then the weak men's selection. read more

This is one of my favorite stores and I have been buying and consigning with Cris for many years. I always find something beautiful there that I can't resist--it's a bit of a problem. :-) Some of the pieces I have purchased: - a gorgeous pinstripe Michael Kors dress - leopard Christian Dior bag - Black and white Chanel shoes - Dolce & Gabbana coat with fur collar Cris and the staff are extremely helpful. They will pull pieces for me in my size that they think I will like. I also consign my own clothes there and the transactions have always been honest and straightforward. read more

A staple for every working gal - and a pick me up to your checking account.

they say the economic crises will end in a year - consequently, i'm screwed until mid-2010. that being said, the milly splurge at bergdorf's forces me to do high end at the consignment level. don't be a snob. used clothing is not above you...especially considering the quality and cleanliness of most of Cris' pieces. so a star for being walking distance from my new lower nob hill home. another star for smart layout (separating the uber high end from the still fabulous). third star for the sales associate who gave me a bigger markdown on a chloe blouse that had been in stock for awhile. and the last two stars for the louis vuitton coat, jimmy choo shoes, jil sander jackets, etc. (a bonus star for the oscar de la renta dress that gave me a bombass figure). read more

Very good selection of designer clothes for a reasonable price. I have found some cute pieces here that were in almost new state. I generally don't like consignment shops and used clothing but Cris has better stuff than anywhere else so the slightly higher prices are warranted. This place is my Friday afternoon habit. read more

To quote Fergie in "Glamorous" (my Song of the Day, even though I'm so not): If you ain't got no money, take your broke ass home. Or, take it to Cris, THE place to go if you're looking to drop $500 on a (gently) used purse, or hand-me-down Manolo's, or Yves Saint Laurent couture wear---or comparatively inexpensive designer denim. What's best is the lavender aroma, emanating from the potpourri dish at the front counter, which completely eliminates any sort of secondhand scent you might expect. read more

I am a seller here, having brought designer clothes here for several years on behalf of a friend. Cris, the owner, is a gem. She has great taste and knowledge of what sells to her customers, she prices things very fairly for the seller and buyer, and helps give input on the right price when you make your dropoff, and she has a successful store so things SELL. We have sold a lot through her store for years, and it has always been a completely smooth experience - well-documented sales records, prompt payment, etc. There are other consignment stores but they do not have the same high-end standards (and pricing to match) as Cris, so I always bring to Cris first. Highly recommend, read more

Very poor seller experience. On April 5th I brought in several Hermes scarves, a pair of Carlisle pants and two skirts from Celine ready to wear in Paris. When I walked in I was ignored and had to approach one of the women who had clearly seen me to tell her I wanted to sell clothes. Winnie combined a lack of graciousness with a total lack of knowledge about clothes. She looked at the scarves which anyone with even the vaguest acquaintance with Hermes would recognize and said "where are these from?". I told her and showed her the name and she said "Oh, yes. We take those". As for the skirts (which I had given to her neatly folded) I was surprised that after rejecting them (I sold them later on Ebay for $265 and $310 respectively) she dumped them into a pile on the window seat like you might see on a teenager's floor and handed them back to me that way. I called back on Saturday June 10th and spoke to Nicole who told me the first day I could come in and pick up my check was Thursday June 22 after 2 pm. When I came in Chris was chatting with one of her clients and desperately looking for her card to pay for her parking. She totally ignored me. So did the other woman behind the counter for about 10 minutes. Then she went under the window seat where a whole bunch of garbage bags with left-over clothes were stored and finally found mine. I got back a pair of pants and one Hermes scarf. They had sold two other Hermes scarves for $200 each so I got $100 for each of them. It took the salesgirl a while to write up the check and then another while to get Chris to sign it. I suggest you not waste your valuable time as a seller coming here. With the time you need to drive, park and wait for them to take care of you, it's not worth it. Much easier to sell on Ebay. As a final indignity the orange-reddish ink used to mark the client's name on the garbage bag came off all over my hands. read more

Cris is high-end resale that truly rocks. Because it's consignment you will probably be the only one with the item of your hearts desire. It's truly up to you if you want to break the bank or find a great deal~ read more

This consignment has a great selection of gently used (and even some new with tags) clothing. I don't find something every time I come in here, but I do enjoy looking around in here. They have a very large range of prices here. You'll find anything from JCrew and Banana Republic all the way to DVF, Brian Reyes, Louboutin and other top notch designers. They also have an incredible selection of jewelry which you'll have to check out. They wrap your purchases up in a cute brown blag with a (real) hydrangea attached to the front. What a sweet touch! read more

I like that the clothing is organized by color, but it's not particularly easy to sort through and find your size. Great shoe selection.

This place has a great staff, wide selection of clothes, new things every week. You can bring your old clothes here and sell too.

I almost want to keep the cat in the bag, but this place is astoundingly great. Very high end finds for reasonable prices -- and the owner is stylish and sweet. Highly recommended. read more

This high-end designer consignment clothing shop is HIT OR MISS. There are definitely quality clothes, shoes, and handbags to be found here. The prices run the gamut and I still can't figure out their pricing system. Yes, you can easily find a shirt for $40, but you can also pay $800 for a used designer purse. Shoe sizes tend to run on the larger side--size 8++. The "lesser" quality bags are thrown in a bin which destroys the material and shape of the bags, which makes me feel sorry for the people trying to sell them! The times I have been here, there is never a crowd, which is a good thing since there are only 3 small dressing rooms. Also, parking is a BEAR in this area. Bring plenty of quarters. read more

This place has some good finds for higher end designer clothing!!! Nice layout and the clothes are in good condition!

I absolutely adore this wonderful gem. I found the most interesting goodies there. Yesterday, I bought a Karen Millen evening dress that I think is perfect for my event. Cris is so wonderful, classy and she made my shopping experience so fun. Ashley was very helpful and equally as fun. I love it when shopping is an experience and you come home with a beautiful piece. I also like the fresh flower she pins to the bag. This will be my go to store for special and interesting fashion items! read more

SELLERS BEWARE - Cris is a crook. A few weeks after dropping off a beautiful pair of black suede Christian Lacroix high heeled sandals I went back to the store to check if they had sold. I looked around the store and could not see them anywhere and got excited as I thought they had been sold! However, Cris told me they had not and was very flippant and rude when I asked her where my shoes were........her response was that they might be 'on hold' (which they weren't) - she immediately cut me off to talk to some guy who had just walked in. Subsequently I have not seen or been paid for my shoes. In fact I think Cris is running a great little business here and making lots of money in the process by scamming innocent sellers and pocketing their share of the sales - she can tell you anything she likes..... if I wanted to 'donate' my shoes I would have gone to a Goodwill store not to Cris so she can line her pockets. I'm very disappointed and upset and needless to say I will never return to this crook's business. read more

Ah, my new red Coach bag. There is still innocence abounding: a certain shine to the buckle, a certain sheen to the leather. Used but by no means used up! read more

Walked by again and stopped in. Ended up purchasing the first item I picked up. A super cute Chanel see through sparkle encrusted top and a pair of Alexander Wang booties. The items were wrapped in a beautiful brown bag with fresh flowers attached. I definitely struck gold this time around. read more

IDK why haven't checked out this store before, it's right across from the former Little Thai restaurant and i am a regular there. I would always pass by this consignment store and was also curious to what kind of goods they sell. I should have done my job a long time ago and yelped what CRIS was all about. Well this past weekend, i finally got to go. And let me tell you, i felt like i was in a Sanrio store just like when i was little! =) They offer a lot of designer bags,shoes, and clothes! Cris the owner was very helpful and kind. I scored a Prada Cinghale (wild bore skin) Kreme bag $195+tax= $213 NOT BAD! When i went on Prada's website to find a similar bag the retail was $1495, i was very pleased with the bag that i purchased. I also wanted this Fendi Baguette logo bag for $250, but with my medical bills to pay i had to say no for now =( maybe if it was $150-200 i would have considered it, so i thought the Fendi was a little too pricey considering that it was not leather. I will definitely go back this store! read more

Go sell your clothes here.....bags sell very well. If you kind of want to make some money off your clothes before donating, it's a good place to sell. I think they seem pretty honest about the sales and checks as well. I don't buy anything here b/c it's hard to sort through the racks sometimes. Also, as with all consignment stores, I'm not sure if they have a way to tell whether a bag is really authentic..... Cris herself has great taste though....alas, if I could stay as thin as she is and dress as well when I am her age..... read more

Cute little place for designer used clothing. There were many racks to look thru but if you have the patient and time. I think Cris is a hit and miss. You might find something cute but then you might not either. I did see a chanel purse by the cashier and many other luxury items. I didnt think the customer service was rude or anything but then again there was only 2 people working. read more

Cris is a sweet lady who carries a wide selection of lightly worn to never been worn luxury goods at Jeremy's prices. Last time I was here it was Louis Vuitton galore...purses and luggage. read more

Best consignment boutique in San Francisco. Extraordinary deals and the best customer service in town. Last visit I scooped up a tags-still-on satin Gucci cocktail dress for $150 (originally $800). Sales associates also offer extra special attention when wrapping your purchases by attaching sprigs of leaves, jasmine and a seasonal flower to your shopping bag. That special touch alone keeps me a regular customer. read more

There's no doubt that Cris carries high-quality consignment. Half the store is "department" store brands, while the other half is "designer." Even the department store offering is pretty high - end. I like the color coded organization, but generally, I find this store to be too rich for my blood and too limited in its selection. I've seen some great pieces, but at the end of the day, I'm not going to shell out $150 for a used blazer, even if it is Theory. read more

I found this place from the great reviews. I was in town for the weekend visiting from Canada. It is a great shop with friendly help and a large selection. One of the best consignment stores I have found. read more

A nice upscale consignment store. Lots of luxury designer brand names. It's a good place to find a bargain if you are into this stuff. The place is bright and not stuffy. Salespeople are nice and helpful. If you go at a random time of day during the week, they may be stocking inventory and things may be a bit messy. read more

This is my favorite consignment store in San Francisco, even though I live within a block of two of Cris's competitors. The selection is well-edited and well laid out, so you're not digging through miles of racks (and outdated Ann Taylor suits) to find that a hidden gem. I've had great luck with cashmere sweaters here. And I'm hopeful that one of these days, they'll actually have a pair of Manolos in my size! read more

We miss shopping here so we flew up from Long Beach. Great clothing that never disappoints. We wish you had a location in SoCal.
