Never again!!! My wife and I went into this store while on vacation here. As soon as we walked in,…read morewe were met with (well my wife was met with) a dirty look from what we were guessing the owner (young, long black hair). We said hello but received no response back. I went to look at one part of the store and my wife went to the back but for some reason the owner just kept staring and watching my wife. As my wife walked back to where I was, the owner actually said to her "are you here to actually shop?" We have this happening to us in the States where we're from. Just sad that it happens here in Canada :(

Charlie's Closet carries both new and extremely gently used pieces with the option of consignment. Carrying designer labels such as Guess, Lululemon, Bench, Rachel Roy, William Rast, DKNY, Buffalo, BCBG, Noisy May and much more. They also carry casual and surf brands for our locals and visitors including Hurley, Quicksilver, Billabong, Sitka and Roxy. I actually found some decent items in the pants department the last time that I was in Nanaimo that I was interested in getting. Prices are actually decent. This is coming from a city girl who is spoiled in Vancouver with lots of consignment clothes.

Clean and tidy every time I have been there. The proprietor helped me when I thought a top was $32 and it actually said $82--she phoned the consigner and asked if they would take the lower price, and they agreed. She knows her stock very well and can help with ideas if you want, or leave you alone if you prefer that. Highly recommended.

Consigners beware! I started consigning with Bella by Brianna a couple of years ago. At first,…read moreeverything was fine. But around a year and a half ago it became very difficult to collect the money that I was owed. I would have to call and e-mail several times over weeks and months before I was paid for the clothes they sold. About six months ago I was asked to pick up some clothes of mine that hadn't sold. After picking up the clothes, I noticed that some of the items had been damaged while in the care of Bella by Brianna. Multiple items had their tags ripped off the garments, which also ripped a bunch of the stitching and left holes in the seams. That was the last straw for me. I asked for my remaining unsold items to be returned and for my account to be closed. Brianne returned some items that had been dropped off recently. Including one shoe out of a pair :/ What am I going to do with one shoe!?! Brianne informed me that she would not be returning any of my other items because "anything past a 3 month period becomes property of the store". I signed a contract when I started consigning with her that did in fact state that items that had been at the store longer than 90 days become property of the store. Brianne assured me that was just to protect them in case of theft or other loss of items. I never imagined she would use that clause to justify not returning my items while also not giving me money for them when they sold. I picked up the items she was willing to return to me. While at the store, I saw other items of mine that were on display to be sold. In total, Brianne accepted 92 items of mine for consignment. 25 items sold, which I received ~$160 for. She returned 25 items. SHE REFUSED TO RETURN 42 UNSOLD ITEMS. Do yourself a favour and consign your items at more reputable store.

I told one of the sales women (I think she was the manager) over and over that I didn't want to try on a certain item, yet she brought the item to my dressing room and hung it on my dressing room rack anyway (are you kidding me?!). I eventually bought an item that was too snug for me and took it home, only to have to return it after I came to my senses. Now I have a store credit I have to use (no refunds) so I will have to go back, if only to use up the cost of my folly listening to someone who was only interested in selling me something, not whether or not it looked good on me. Thank goodness for one of the other sales consultants who ran interference with the manager, so I didn't have to tell her over and over - No, thank you. Once should have been enough. I have heard the same thing from other women who have shopped there.
