I enjoy shopping for secondhand clothes, and was glad to have found Amy's Closet. Their clothing…read moreis all donated, and proceeds benefit victims of domestic violence. They are also staffed by volunteers.
If those aren't reasons to check out this store, the greatest advantage is how neatly everything is organized in racks by size. Some items are steamed for better presentation. They even have several racks of boutique clothing (that is, higher-end brands, like NYDJ, CAbi, Joe's Jeans, and Banana Republic), as well as purses, shoes, activewear, and a few housewares. If you like LuLaRoe, they have a rack of $1 items.
Unlike many secondhand stores which have removed their fitting rooms, Amy's Closet has three small ones in the back of the store. Yay! Watch your step exiting, however, as the rooms are surrounded by metal frames, and I tripped a couple of times. Ha ha.
I went on a Wednesday, and they were offering boutique items at 25% off, and buy-one-get-one-free for all non-boutique items. I'm not sure if these discounts are offered weekly, or if they are just trying to clear out some inventory. For example, a dressy Banana Republic (boutique) blouse and a pair of NYDJ jeans were priced at $13 each, and some CAbi jeans were $18. I found some non-boutique pants and jeans for $6 each, so their prices are great, if you can find something you like. They take ApplePay, too!
Note they have moved a couple of miles north from their previous location (in the Brother's Bagels shopping center). I'd never visited the previous location, but this one is very nice, with plenty of parking.
I'll definitely bring my nicer donations to the store, as well as shop for myself in the near future. It's a great find!
