I absolutely loved the items they had in store. Things weren't too expensive, there were a few expensive items but i believe it was justified because they were very grand. the one visit i had to this store has won me over, it is my favorite shop over all. I most definitely recommend.

Lady working said Friday's can be mark down day for some sellers. Saturday is changeover day. Though- changeovers can happen at booth owners discretion. How it works- I am a newbie, first timer so I am still learning. Each booth has a different consignor, but some consignors have multiple booths. Interesting mix of vintage, funky, contemporary looks. Not a lot of formal stuff, some business casual, some casual, some jumpsuits etc etc. A lot of fun to browse. Value- Um, yeah.

They include a mix of antique pieces, which work perfectly with contemporary designs. I love the chandeliers they had throughout this most recent visit. As soo as you walk in, you can't help but fall in love, it mixes all items seamlessly, providing fun spaces, and one of a kind pieces. I've purchased a couple of jewelry items both visits, and while I would basically buy anything in the shop, it is rather pricey. But, if you are looking for pieces that truly are treasures that can be handed down, or unique items, as well as items that will last for years...then splurging isn't so bad!

*sigh* If you would have told me 5 years ago that I'd be giving Ella's anything less than 5 stars,…read moreI would have been shocked. Alas... I have been a faithful Ella's shopper for...oh man, a long, long time. 10 years at least. They used to be in this tiny, tiny place and while they did have some pricey, vintage and vintage-inspired clothes, they also had a substantial amount of real vintage, reasonably priced, *amazing* stuff. In particular, I recall that they always had once rack of adorable vintage blouses and none of them were over 30 bucks. I have an incredible lightweight black wool jacket from the 30s that is one of my all-time favorite pieces and I can think of at least three other items that I bought years ago and still adore. A few years ago or so they moved into a huge, beautiful space, still on Front Street. (Side note: I really wish they hadn't gotten rid of their old logo. It was beautiful and what they have now looks like something from Photoshop 101.) Like I said, the space is beautiful and they did a great job on the interior design, but....man, I can just not afford anything in there anymore. And I pretty much literally mean that. The bountiful rack of under-$30 blouses has been reduced to maybe 5 or so only "OK" items. Everything else is very expensive and a lot of it isn't vintage--just the same stuff you see in a lot of these high-end, plastic-y, tourist-trap "SoHo" boutiques that cater to women under a size 10. Don't get me wrong--a lot of the clothes are still beautiful and they do still have a formidable vintage section. Also, they sell Frye boots which I really, really love. I'm just disappointed to see the turn toward catering to tourists and townie yuppies with money. Something else--the staff is stylish and nice, but *way* too pushy. I hate when people try to sell me things when I'm just looking around. Also when they make me feel bad for not buying anything. I still have a place in my heart for Ella's and I still go in every time I visit T.C. I also do recommend checking it out--it is very beautiful and worth looking at! I just wish I could afford to do more than look.

Yes, as others mentioned on Google, "retro with a modern twist." Front Street shops aren't really in my budget, as after about 18 years in TC I can call myself a quasi- local. Front Street is strictly tourist. Thrift shops and target, those are my budget. But, some friends who don't live here anymore, but who have a family cabin on East Bay were with me at the farmers market. We had some extra time on the parking meter, so we decided to check out the shops. We tasted oils and vinegars in fustini and then turned to the right/West. The window displays caught my friends daughter's eye, her daughter went to highschool with my sister. The buyer here/owner has a great eye.
