I have always loved shopping at the various thrift stores in Birmingham, way before it was trendy…read more This one happens to be one that's close to where I live, and one of my favorites. Over the years, I have found some really great pieces-from clothing and shoes, to handbags, to furniture...I've found treasures! If you go and don't find what you're looking for, stop back another day. If you see something you want, get it then because someone else will beat you to it! Prices have gone up over the years but you're still saving money from what the item originally cost. Lovelady Center, located not far from the store, helps women get back on their feet after going through tough times. They turn your donations into profit that helps them support their residents. In fact, most, if not all, the ladies that work here, are connected to Lovelady in some way. They are either current residents or have been helped in the past. You should really look up their story. If you like to shop, especially in thrift stores, you must check them out!

I have shopped in this store several times and I will continue to do so, because the service is…read morevery, very good. There is a wide variety of donated items to choose from at reasonable prices. And the positive impact of the Associates working as fast as possible to replenish each section of the store is heartwarming. I made two purchases the day I was at Lovelady in Irondale, and Good Lord Willing, I will be back soon.

They are great about having things in season, although prices have gone up a little in clothing. Lots of name brand items with major savings if you take the time to look. Still, for the last 3-4 visits I have been able to easily snag around 7 items in a haul every time for around $30! They also have a Clover rewards system to get discounts after you purchase a certain amount of items.

This is a great pseudo thrift store. The front portion has crafts made locally! They range from…read morebaskets, wood chairs and benches, quilts, and art. The back portion is the thrift store. They have gently worn women's clothes organized by size. They also had a small housewares section and records. We hit gold with Elvis Live from Hawaii. The prices are a bit higher than other thrift stores, but profits go towards the Assistance League of Birmingham's Operation School Bell and literacy programs. Also the ladies running the store we're so happy and friendly, which is not always the case at a thrift store. I would have to say this place is a real gem.

I absolutely love this store!! The ladies are always so friendly and helpful. It's hard to know…read morewhere to start in providing a review of this store. First, I love the fact that the proceeds are used for the Jefferson County Literacy Program. The front half of the store is filled with unique and high quality crafted items made by those that are 50+. They even take special orders on items. The back half of the store is an upscale thrift store that consists of name brand clothing, shoes, purses and jewelry. They often place the clothing items half off to make room for more donations. You can find everything from casual shorts and tops to suits and evening gowns for ladies. They do carry baby clothing up to a size 5 or so, shoes, toys, along with items such as strollers, high chairs and playpens. I'll try to summarize all the hidden treasures you can find from time to time with this list: books of all kind (I personally love the children's selection and old cookbooks), albums, dishes like China tea cups and place settings, serving pieces, small appliances, comforters, curtains, furniture, holiday items and various furniture pieces from from time to time. I can't say enough about this place!! They receive so many unique whatnots and unsold items from estate sales as well. The store is well kept and has great prices. Periodically the clothes are marked down to half price and everything is always in great condition. I hope everyone will remember them when having items to donate. I just hope I haven't limited myself in finding great deals now!!

Let's begin with product availability. The menswear section is great for those of us that can turn menswear pieces into fashionable pieces for women. Then move around to women's pieces. We have high end to low end pieces at reasonable prices. Purses and handbag heaven. The next time you're putting that special outfit together, come to D'Trespa Consignment to get that statement bag to take the outfit over the top. There's just som many gems being housed here. You have to come in and take a look. The shop owner shared a few things; Bring your items in and if sold, you can receive cash or if not sold the will donate to a charitable organization on your behalf and you receive the charity receipt for tax purposes. She also informed us that the first Saturdays of every month until October, the street will be shut down for an open market. Come by during those times and you could possibly win a prize. Can't wait to come back. Great shop to find those designer pieces you've been wanting.

Incredible shop and LaRoyce is a great hostess/owner. She was incredibly nice, helpful, conversant…read moreand we reminisced a bit. For men, there is a bit of that Birmingham preppy (Brooks Brothers, Polo, Vintage Vines) and some downright vintage. I bought a 1970's JC Penney LS shirt and some other men's items. There is not a huge men's selection, but for women, there's a lot more - purses, dresses, iconic looks and "create your own style." She's even got a "little black dress" room and was updating to add a bunch more dresses. What I like best is that the selection is unique. This is a boutique, not so much just T's and jeans, but items to look your best or find your own fashion way. For my lady I bought a Michael Kors and a Ralph Lauren handbag - but I left some for you dear reader. So, go check it out!

This was my first time in this Goodwill and I didn't have anything in particular I was looking for…read more The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that it smelled clean and fresh. That is the first time I've ever experienced that in a Goodwill. This location is larger than most I've been to. The staff were pretty friendly. The dressing rooms were blocked off with carts and signs. I asked an employee if it was available to use. She stated I could use one of the first rooms. So I'm not sure why it was ALL blocked off. I found a few items and called it a good trip'

I found the inventory to be slightly limited. I did find some nice pieces and some cute booties. I got three items for $18 plus tax.

We were able to bring in our own food and drinks which I really appreciated. The store itself is beautiful. It has a great selection of clothing, accessories, and hats. For the party, we actually purchased some hats then we were able to accessorize them. The staff was simply amazing!! They were super friendly and very patient (her mom included)! As you can imagine, we had a party of about 13 women, so they did very well balancing all of our personalities and gave us some great suggestions when decorating our hats. And to top it off, she gave us some wine glasses! 10/10 I would definitely recommend you stop by and support this business!
