Good selection, but terrible customer centrism by the owner. The problem is that the owner would…read morenot honor what an associate told a customer about a returnable item. My mother-in-law is in a cast due to wrist surgery and an associate told her it was no problem to pay for the clothes and try them on at home where she could have more assistance and privacy and then just return what she didn't like or what didn't fit. She tried on the clothes that night and then brought the ones back that didn't fit or weren't what she wanted the next day by noon. The owner was NOT customer centric at all and simply recited the policy written on the receipt. While this may be a perfectly normal procedure, it is completely ridiculous when an associate specifically told her that she could return them due to the extenuating circumstances of her arm in a cast that the owner would not honor what their employee told a customer. Especially since without the associate's comment she would not have spent $200.00. Moral of the story: Expect the owner to choose policy recital over good, common business sense and quality customer service.

I'm so surprised to see the rating so low! I always have a great experience here. I haven't sold…read morehere for a bit, but the shopping experience was great when I went in yesterday. I love Plato's next door, and as I've gotten older have found more items that fit my more mature style at Style Encore. My mom and I enjoy shopping here. The items are reasonably priced for good quality secondhand: I got a pair of Old Navy sandals for $6 and a pair of like new Nike tennis shoes for $30. My mom got three tops, all ranging from $6-9 and super cute + in great condition. I love how organized the store is, the frequent 70% clearance items, and the quality of brands. You can always find high end shoes and bags here! In my opinion, this Style Encore is leagues above the Clothes Mentor and other stores we have in the Twin Cities as far as cleanliness, quality and price.

The…read morereason I give them a 2 star review is because the sales person was not friendly or helpful at all . I had a shirt I wanted to try on. Since so many places don't have open dressing rooms, I asked if I could try the shirt on. She rudely said that the dressing room is over there. These were the only words she spoke to me the entire time I was there. I just left the shirt and asked out. I was just visiting Des Moines for a few days, but would never go back to Worn

I was fortunate to be visiting on the day after summer markdowns, and discovered about 80% of inventory was discounted. I especially appreciated the unique jewelry and purses, but was impressed by the shoe selection as well.

I swear that I'm walking into a Portland Oregon shop (like Tanner or Machus) when I see the unique collection of leather goods, outdoor accessories (like Filson) and associated fashion (like waxed jeans from Red Clouds Collective of Portland). It's fun to look around and imagine the possibilities. They have their own leather shop in the back and they will do custom orders. I asked that take one of their passport holder designs and add a "flap and snap" feature to keep it all together better. That was done, mailed, and in my hands within a couple weeks.
