Consider me impressed! I'd heard about this more 'upscale' thrift/vintage store opening and finally got to check it out. It's a loft-like space with lots of natural light and really well decorated. One thing that set it apart immediately, is it doesn't have that thrift store smell. They're true to their word that they're only selecting good quality items. Sure, some of the items are perhaps a bit plain, but you don't have to take too long to find a few things you'll like. It's certainly not the case of searching for a diamond in the rough. I imagine woman will like the place even more since about 80% of the floor space is for them. There were several shoppers there and they seemed to have no issue picking out great stuff too. Also, prices are GREAT! Anyone who's 'vintage' shopped in places like Kensington Market will know that things can still have relatively higher prices. My items were incredibly inexpensive, including a Banana Republic shirt which showed virtually no signs of wear for $10. I found out at the counter that this is actually a franchise as part of a fairly large chain (which I hadn't previously heard of). Regardless, they're a very unique and welcome edition to the city. read more

DO NOT SHOP HERE! MY PURCHASE CAME INFESTED WITH BLACK CARPET BEETLE LARVAE! I'm frequent second-hand shopper, and this place is by far the most DISGUSTING second-hand store EVER! I bought a couple of items, including two sweaters, which upon inspection looked clean and sanitary. After I got home, I went to wash my purchase, as normal. I found NUMEROUS BLACK CARPET BEETLE LARVAES INFESTED IN BOTH OF THE SWEATERS. In case you're not aware, they are highly infestations and feed off of materials such as wool, leather, etc. and grow from larvae into actual beetles. Needless to say, I threw out both sweaters and called to complain. The owner/manager, Laura, confirmed that employees 'eyeball' the cleanliness of clothes, do not wash them, and have had similar cases. Um, gross! read more

Plato's Closet Brampton - DISGUSTING! BLACK CARPET BEETLE LARVAE IN THE CLOTHING I PURCHASED. I’m frequent second-hand shopper, and this place is by far - Women's Clothing Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

This store is amazing, a true treasure trove of fantastic finds. Staff are friendly and personable, always willing to help you find a new outfit for your next event. They recently moved to 370 Main Street N and the new location is 3X the size and AMAZING! They buy clothing from the public to stock their store so inventory is always changing. They're fair and make sure to select the best items for their racks. They buy casual clothing/everyday wear for teens and twenty year olds however I always see various age demographics shopping in there! You bring in your items and they sort through them in usually 20 minutes but can be longer depending on how busy they are. They select what they can sell and it gets priced 50-70% below original retail price, and then offer you 30-40% of that price upfront in cash, which is pretty fair for items you don't want or are going to donate anyway. They aren't a store to resell and make a huge profit, just get cash for clothes you don't love anymore but are still in good condition. They put on their sales floor what they Purchase so inventory all depends on what people are selling. Some days they're low on certain stock (like size 8-10 shoes) and the next time you go they have a ton! So best to check back often. They don't clean items on site but advertise that everything brought in has to be clean/freshly laundered. I've found most items to be clean and in good condition, sometimes items get damaged on the sales floor but when pointed out to staff they take them off the floor right away. Some of the reviews below are misleading and inaccurate all stores have policies, even thrift stores. I've always found them to be very accommodating and respectful. A great place, worth it to drop in and check out for sure - you will absolutely find something! I will continue to shop and sell there! read more

This is a good store to shop or sell your every day clothes. They happily bought my Ugg sandals and Hunter boots but not my gorgeous holiday dresses. Not high end. And don't expect a lot of money for your stuff. read more

High end thrift store in a small unit near an auto parts place. Unfortunately it was very expensive and had no mens clothing. Some of the coats were close to $200. A lot of items didn't look worn at all which made me question if they were donated. I would not spend this kind of money on gently used items. read more

Love this place. I've actually never made a purchase but I do sell all my gently used items here. They typically purchase items that are 1-2 years old. And in good selling condition. Whether you are looking to purchase or sell, I'd say give them a shot. The associates are super friendly. I'll definitely keep selling my gently used items here. Hey if you can make a $$ for some clothing items you no longer wear...go for it. Or you can just donate it for free and then the donation company resells it for you. Your choice. lol read more

Worst experience ever first of all I got served by someone under 15 years old I called the store 3 times. Milton store....... I called 3 times before I arrived. Letting them no i will be late as i am coming from a long distance. They said no worries we close at 7 . I had 3 small bags of clothes to sell. When I get to the store at 6:45 pm they would not take the clothes claiming I had to be there a hour before. I called them 10 minutes before and they said it would be ok. Want more better reviews PC, hire someone over the age of 20 to run your store that's not lazy. Wasted my time ... wish I could have given less than 1 star They spent more time trying not to help me then it would have taken less time to review my clothes for buy...... Beware!!! read more

I come and sell here all the time, and I feel like their buy/sell business is very biased and based on personal opinion of the employee who is helping you out. I have brought in so much great stuff and it gets rejected because "the style" isn't what they're looking for. Yet I take a look around the store and it looks like a lost and found bin, dirty shoes, clothes that look are from a 1980's charity auction, yet my stuff from Zara, Topman, Stussy, American Apparel(they never take this brand its like they don't know what it is) etc gets rejected. I go back and if there is a different employee they take stuff that another didn't. They should have a better system... They claim that they target young adults/teens but clearly miss the mark with what they buy because as a young 20-something I would never buy stuff from this location unless it was stuff that I regretted selling to them. read more

I've always had a great experience here. I find the staff super friendly and helpful. If they post something on Instagram and you want to put it on hold they always answer their phone within the first ring or two. I've sold to them a few times and I find their pricing to be really fair. I was just in the other day and Nicole helped me out. She was so nice! I'll def be back! read more

This place has been my saving grace. I sell here all the time and they're always helpful and compliment the items I bring which makes me feel less sad about selling my clothes so I can buy groceries (it's a tough life). They have a pretty great selection. They always have aritzia clothing and pink in great condition. They also have Lux items available. Makes fashion affordable. read more

Honestly ill advise people to go somewhere else. Second time there,and i had to decline payment offered, also the attitude from the second you enter the store blows my mind, Please, there is no point taking your items to sell there, save ur gas and go to other places much nicer and with friendlier staff.(i was treated sooo much better and offered a price that made me happy) If you do not have money to offer just say so instead of declining trendy pieces with some lame excuses, I had to laugh when i heard some of the excuses the lady made up. Your website says one thing and its another story in the shops, i brought items as listed on their website that was accepted!!!!but was told people do not purchase those same items that were listed on the website. Very Pathetic. I heard some1 mention on their google review page that there are a little racist yes i agree unfortunately. They look like they need to upgrade their inventory because i may understand why my trendy pieces were refused if you have staffs who do not know whats in, or current in fashion. Lmao read more

I went to Plato's Closet and the staff we're quite courteous and very professional unfortunately I didn't have all the type of styles and inventory they were looking for but they were still willing to find a couple of items to make sure I left with something in my pocket I actually enjoyed my time there but if you plan on stopping by I suggest you focus mainly on Sporting Goods type clothing Jersey track pants jackets anything you see young urban kids wearing anyways it was the most positive second hand clothing sale situation that I've ever had read more

Everytime im in Brampton i always have to stop here! Nothing like getting a great deal on brands you can't afford! Staff always help me out when im in the store whether im looking for something or an opinion i need on an outfit.. they are all so friendly!! Can't wait to score another deal! read more

I'm not a thrift store person but my daughter wanted to check this place out so I took her. This store is located in a seedy part of Brampton beside a bar. (I grew up in Brampton so I make this comment with experience). As we enter the store I hear someone say hi to us immediately followed by "Backpacks are not permitted in the store". I was confused for a moment until I realized she is referring to my purse. I turned to address this and let the sales associate know that I'm clearly not a student (I'm 46 yrs old) & that my small backpack is actually a purse. Seeing as she is working at a clothing store she should know this is the trend. She tells me it's store policy for back packs to be left at the front of the store. I tell her again that it's my purse and I'm not leaving it anywhere. She spouted the policy again. I told her I will leave the store before I will leave my purse. I walked over to the counter and opened my purse to show her it's contents to prove it's a purse. She repeated the policy again. I put my purse on my back and repeated again that I wasn't leaving my purse. I was in the store for 7 mins. There was nothing of interest to us. Mostly overpriced not gently used clothing. While in the store I saw a woman with a tote purse twice the size of my back pack purse and a young girl wearing a back pack purse. Funny how I was targeted but they were ok. I won't be returning to this glorified garage sale. I would give 0 stars if I could. I don't appreciate the way I was treated. Although she said all of this with a smile and a sing song voice it doesn't change the words or sentiment. When she realized that it was my purse she should have apologized and left me alone. Someone needs some customer service training. Also she shouldn't have shouted it across the counter at me. Simply come over and share the policy. It was tacky and rude. If you need some help training your sales team I would be happy to help. I have lots of experience working in customer service with not one complaint. read more

They have a great selection for 13-15 year olds but nothing for late teens and 20 somethings. As a 20 something I did not find a great selection of clothes for taller or bigger (hips and boobs) women, very little shoes for sizes 8-10. Also, when I was there waiting for my clothes to be appraised I watch the girls appraising and they would look at it based on their own style and they would leave things aside to keep for themselves. They don't open up the clothing to look at the pieces. All my clothing being "sold" was folded and the girl just set it aside without opening it up to see the style. They said that it wasn't in fashion which to me varies from person to person so they need to open their ideas to new style especially in a multicultural place like Brampton. They seem to judge the clothes I brought in laughing at them which I thought was unprofessional. I don't think they really go by style but again by their own personal preference. I also saw a lot of "older" 30-50 year olds in the store so clearly there is an age they are missing. They sell a lot of target, wal-mart brands, skimpy clothing, and high heels. Overall, they are friendly and offer good prices for limited budgets but all in all not sure I would go back due to their lack of professionalism. read more

Update to my review I must say their attention to what their customers are saying is great. I really appreciate them for taking the time out to hear my concerns and offer an explanation. Considering that I hope the next experience will be better. Prev Review Honestly THEY WILL NOT BUY YOUR ITEMS FOR WHAT THEY SAY THEY WILL BUY YOUR ITEMS FOR. It was so frustrating talking to the girl about how much they give for each item. Apparently they give 30 % of what they retail the item for in there store, which I was fine with. They processed my stuff and they took three items from me and they offered me 13 dollar for all 3 items. I thought that sounds off so then I asked the lady how much 2 of my items( a plus size fall jacket and never worn boots ) were retailing for in their store. I was told 50$ for the jacket and 20$ for the boots. when I heard this I asked the lady at the desk why I was getting so little she told me that they take into consideration the style,the brand,the size. I told the lady that I understood that they take that into consideration when picking what items to take but I was told that they give 30% of what they retail the item for in their store. I told her I was in a bit of a rush and I was hoping she could check that for me if thats was right. she told me that if I didn't want to sell my items I could take them back. the lady repeated herself a couple of times mentioning that the style of the clothes was a little bit older and that it was plus sized. As i was in a bit of a rush and I needed the money I sold it to them but when I got home I wanted to double-check the math properly. I knew she was wrong( 30% of $50 is $15 and 30% of $20 is $6 I'm not the best at doing percentages in my head in a rush). She should have give me at least $21 thats not including the t shirt they also took!!! THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU 30 % !!! They give you what they want to give you. read more

This is hands down THE worst place to sell your belonging! Horrible and rude staff! Totally biased! They will rip you off beyond belief!!! I DO recommend the Oakville location, they are fair and treat you right. Brampton location could learn a lot from them, like how to treat a customer! Mississauga would be my second choice and it's TRULY worth the extra drive to any other location besides this horrible one in Brampton! You'd even do better to list your stuff on apps vs. sell to this place. It's also luck of the draw at this location.. one staff member will take your stuff, another will not! NEVER GO HERE! You will get more at a garage sale and save yourself being treated like total garbage by the rude staff!!! read more

LOVE this place!! Always a warm welcome from the girls here!! My favourite plato's by far! :) Girls are always so friendly and helpful. I sell and buy from here all the time! Picked up so many amazing high-end items which I'm totally in love with. They always have so many great items here, almost impossible to walk out of this store empty handed. Highly recommend checking out this location!!!! read more

I was not happy. I have been a frequent shopper there until I started noticing this behavior from their staff and managment. I find that they judge people based on how they look and their appearance. As I wait for them to see how much they will give me for my stuff, I check and see what's in store and the way they look at you is as though you are there to steal their whole store. The other staff are super friendly its only the owner and this girl with blond hair she hardly even smiles. I have heard of friends who said the same thing. As a customer we have every right to try on stuff before we purchase. They shouldn't get annoyed if you don't purchase what was initially "full" in your cart. In particular its the owner and girl with blonde hair who seem to be like this. My boyfriend and I both feel the same way. I see her talking to other people so friendly but with colored people they seem not have a liking. I have been to other store locations and NEVER NEVER have I felt that way. In fact I was always greeted from the owner at the other stores, and they don't judge! I also feel that they don't take everything yet in your clothing selections they have things that are older and outdated. They really look at how old you are and decide what they should take. I cashed out one time, and declined a bag, the way the owner looked at me as I was leaving without purchasing, and stopped to ask me if I purchased the items I was holding onto, I mean did she not see me right beside her when the other girl was cashing me out, and did she not see the receipt in my hand? They really need to learn how to be diverse with their customers, and more ethnic friendly. I honestly feel like they should be reported to head office because they clearly don't have what it takes to be running a store. I am not from the United States its showing that on my ad not sure why I am from the GTA. read more

I agree with Kirsten regarding the lack of professionalism of some of the girls working there as I had a similar experience as her when selling there. After waiting for a long time to have my clothes appraised the girl told me in a rude loud voice, that even without taking them out of the bag she could tell that my clothes looked faded and old, when the items I was selling had very little wear , some were new with the price tags still on and all designer brands like forever21,aeropostal and arbercombie . On the other hand , on two other occasions I had the pleasure of dealing with two very nice girls who were actually very pleasant and professional and took the time to see what I was selling and tell me what they buy and don t buy. The selection is ok .I guess they would offer more choices if they had more space. They have a really good selection of custom jewellery, they also sell cosmetics, The store is very clean and organized. read more
