I'll definitely make it a point to stop here when we make it back to Traverse City. I loved the variety.

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.

Super cute shop specializing in Traverse City and Michigan pride clothing. Mostly sweatshirts, long…read moresleeve shirts and t-shirts. They're a little pricey (about $50 a pull over sweatshirt) but oh my goodness, they're SO soft. I bought myself one (the grey sweatshirt with the great lakes around Michigan illustrated with their names) and one for my fella (same design but in dark blue with white lettering) and we've practically worn them non stop around the house since. They're just so cozy! I also bought myself the long sleeved version of the sweatshirt in a dark blue and it's also very soft and cozy. They don't have a ton of designs (about 4-5 if I remember correctly--a couple Traverse City centric ones and a few Michigan ones) but they have a nice variety in colors, sizes, and styles. So there is something for everyone. Whether you're a TC nut or pro Michigan in general. Both times I went into the store a very lovely gal was working there. We chatted quite a bit and she was super helpful and pleasant to be around. I also got free bumper stickers with both my purchases which was awesome.

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.

They had an outdoor display with a great selection of nice, heavy cotton t-shirts in just wonderful colors. I went in to buy a t-shirt with a funny "bite me" graphic on a fishing lure for my husband and walked out with that shirt, plus 2 for myself (including a beautiful lavenderish purple lady's cut t-shirt with a graphic of the state of Michigan). My purchase of three t-shirts earned me a free hat. I was very pleased with both the shirts and the shopping experience. So far, the t-shirts have held up just great.
