If you crafty, a student or teacher, or you want to find inspiration for an art projects, this place is for you! They help keep things out of landfills, especially unusual items that recycling programs typically won't take. Go rummage through old note cards, ribbon, fabric, etc., and give all those little odds and ends a new chance at life. What's not to love?!??!

I suggest going early enough, so you can properly peruse ALL the inventory (all while not making a mess) and take your time. This place feels like the Studio 54 of ALL vintage shops. VERY exclusive. Sundays are the only days you can go without having an appointment. I met Stu and he is literally awesome!!!!! He gave me the greatest discount and was so authentic. I can't wait to go back!!! - Richard

Who can beat discounted thrift?!? The array of everything from homegoods, furniture, purses/bags, shoes, and my favorite their clothing! I love Valley Thrift! I've been to my fair share of thrift stores, and this wins! Now that I have moved out of state, this is the one place I look forward to coming when I visit home. As for their service, it is average, staff will help you get in and out at the register, but that is all you may get. Lol. None the less, what they may lack in service, they up for in the selections! It's all worth it. Check it out for yourself! It's the best! Happy shopping!

Overall I'd say this thrift store is conveniently located and tidy…read more There are two dressing rooms when you walk in and the entire main floor is women's clothing and shoes. Everything is organized by size and category which is helpful. The men's, kids, and household section is in the back. These areas are quite small. I'm assuming the store simply does not receive ample amount of donations in this area. I went with 50% off, and felt the discounted price I paid should be the original price. For example I bought one old cotton long sleeve. Basic and it was $5 full price. Many times thrift stores charge more than 50% of retail and this is a big issue for access. Speaking of accessibility. There is zero disability access into the store. This is a major problem. As a mom with a young child, I had to unload everything, including my child and carry everything with the stroller up the steep stairs. I try to walk to stores when able, and I couldn't simply throw the stroller in the car, or leave it outside in the rain. I'm not sure why a second hand store where many parents and disabled people shop would not have accessibility. I cannot imagine being in a wheelchair, being elderly, or having other physical ailments having this road block to a store that is supposed to be for the community.

I got a quick run through of this location of St Vincent de Paul. I ended up picking up a couple…read morepair of jeans and luckily they both had a half off barb. I also noticed a bit of jewelry in a case up front next to the registers and I found a brooch I liked in there. I didn't have a lot of time today as my husband was with me and he is not much of a shopper. They did have quite a lot of shoes but they pair I picked up and thought I might buy were $20 and I really felt like that was too much. I will have to check this location out another time when I have more time but at first glance I did not like it as well as some of the other locations I have been to.

Vintage Marketplace whisks shoppers off on an adventure as they walk through the doors. Filled with…read morefashionable garments and trinkets with a vintage flare, I felt like I was browsing through rooms of European merchandise. Each area is categorized by color: blues to the right, browns and whites straight ahead, violets in the back of the store. Open doorways weave in and out of the dividing wall, allowing customers to float freely from continent to continent... er... section to section. Beautiful, plush scarves caught my eye, as well as some of the old writing table decorations. One room in the back was filled with an assortment of accessories, like jewelry, hair barrettes, and hats. Incredibly well organized, this shop is like strolling through a fashion museum. Prices were a little higher than expected, and although there were two salesladies in the store, neither of them acknowledged that I was there. That bumped Vintage Marketplace down to three stars. I'd still stop back for a browse though. The window display changes frequently (and, in my opinion, is the most elaborate in Hyde Park), so something new will likely draw me in again.

Had such a sad experience today, and am still shaken up…read more This is a longer review, but with respect to the other associate, I want to make sure I'm clear with where the issues originated. We rented some beautiful pieces for our show this month, and Marianne was amazing in getting everything set up and ready for us. When returning most of the items, I made the mistake of returning a shirt to the wrong location, so I had to come back the next week to complete everything. I was ready to pay an extension fee, but she was kind and allowed for that margin. We had a dress and lace-up shirt to bring back as well. My mother dropped off the dress first, and was told sternly by Nancy there would be a $40 damage fee. I wasn't sure what that was for, so when I stopped by to drop off the lace up shirt, I asked. I have a new costume team, so if mistakes were made, I want to make sure they know where they must improve. I have no problem paying the fee- prices here are very fair- but something happened after I asked what the fee was for. Nancy stormed away without speaking a minute, planted at another counter, and then proceeded to tear into me, loud enough for the room full of customers to hear, and potentially even the adjacent room. I think she somehow concluded I was trying to get out of a fee, which upset her. Despite me trying to communicate that wasn't the case, not only did she stop listening but she threw insults. A few of Nancy's choice sentences: "You are so snooty" "Your energy is killing me" "Has anyone ever told you that before? It's true" "You sound so snippy" "Everything you say is so passive aggressive" -I replied I was being genuine, she said, "I don't believe you." "I have been doing this for 40 years so if there's an issue I know it's not me." "Blip blip blip blip" (mimicking me talking and cutting me off for asking where to drop off the final shirt this week) Even if I was trying to negotiate damages, you still shouldn't use public shaming as a tactic. The customer is not always right, but I do believe that standards of mutual respect should be held in all interactions. Marianne was kind, professional, helpful, and honestly made the magic of clothing and performance come alive for me and my cast that came with me. Nancy was hostile, insulting, aggressive, and never even created space for response. I do have the interaction recorded, so all details can be corroborated. I'm not the person to post it (public shaming is not my method) but I'm happy to share the recording with the owners for reflection. I do hope moving forward that a space where artists can create that much magic together can also be a space of safety, gentleness, and mutual respect.
