My husband and I were fragrance shopping on December 14, 2025 while doing our Christmas shopping…read more While we were smelling a different brand, a female employee walked behind us and asked if we wanted to smell Dior, which was noticeably on the lower end of the price range compared to what we were already viewing. At the same time, another employee positioned an iPhone near where we were standing, which made us feel uncomfortable and singled out. We are both African American, and the behavior of the employees felt prejudiced and unnecessary. We entered the store fully intending to purchase fragrances, but left feeling disappointed and unwilling to spend our hard-earned money in an environment where we felt judged rather than welcomed.

Nordstrom Rack is an off-price department store chain that has hundreds of stores across the U.S…read more Its parent company is the luxury department store Nordstrom. This particular Nordstrom Rack is in The Block Northway shopping center. This Nordstrom Rack has two floors. The top level contains merchandise for men, children, and home, and the bottom level contains merchandise for women. I focused on the women's clothing. I saw an assortment of shirts, pants, shorts, dresses, coats, and other apparel that previous retailers could not sell. I recognized brands such as Calvin Klein and Nike, but I had not previously heard of some of the other brands. I thought that the prices were low to moderate. I decided to purchase a pair of UnionBay shorts for $23. The cashier quickly and correctly rang up my purchase.

It also is the "closet" for several dozen Pittsburgh-area agencies that help women in need such as women leaving domestic violence. Since its founding in 2001, it has donated millions of dollars of clothing to tens of thousands of women. I recently shopped at Treasure House Fashions. When I entered the store, a friendly volunteer greeted me, explained how the store was organized, and offered assistance. The racks and shelves were fully stocked--in fact, so stocked that the store was no longer accepting donations. The clothes were very well organized by size and type (e.g., pants, shirts, and dresses), and some were from well-known brands. I did not, however, see price tags on most clothes, so I would like to set more of those. Most styles were not my preferred style, but I did find a couple of clothes that I liked.

I am truly, honestly grateful a place like Treasure House exists...I feel great, and I look great because of this special store.

It has two floors: The first level contains men's clothing and shoes, and the second level contains women's clothing, shoes, and accessories and some home goods. During my recent visit, most of my walking was around the second level. As I browsed the merchandise, two employees said hello to me. I appreciated that they did not ignore me. I saw merchandise from brands and designers such as 7 for All Mankind, Calvin Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, and Mac Duggal. The store was having a 25%-off sale, so the final prices were fairly low. I picked out travel bags to buy. A cashier immediately rang up my purchase and thanked me.

This year I wasn't feeling the Nordies or Macys fashion vibe, and the economy is struggling, so I decided to make a concerted effort to shop only consignment for a couple of months. I've had such fun shopping at Revibed. It's a friendly atmosphere, and the owner recognizes the value of meeting/interacting with her clientele. I love to take my hubby in to pick up the great sale items (almost always has a sale that incl 60% off of a color tag). I've come to find her base price to be very good anyway, so having it on sale is just a bonus. There's a $5 rack typically.. high end is ALWAYS VERIFIED. I know this cause I consigned a pair of high end shoes (which she sold in record time). I've come to know her as honest and fair as a business owner. I did ask her if there was anything she wanted me to highlight in my post, but she did not respond. I was transparent with her that I was making a review as an Elite in direct response to another person's review on Yelp, which I felt was unfair and written in haste rather than proof. Alas, I have no pictures, so you'll just have to go in and sift around for yourself. Give yourself at least an hour, and have fun!

We were excited to find a local consignment shop just up the road from our house and stopped by to…read moresee what they had. My wife asked to see one of her Louis Vuitton bags and in looking it over questioned if it was real based on the lining of the bag. She has worked for luxury brands and worked as an Authenticator for years and in this case it is a pretty normal question. The owner quickly got very angry at the question and refused to help my wife when she asked to see another bag. She instead went to the back to loudly bad mouthed us for questioning the authenticity. All of this was even funnier since the bag in question had a CLEARLY fake LV scarf on it, that she admitted was fake, yet she was so offended when we questioned her carrying fake goods. There so so many better consignment store out there with people who value their customers - do yourself a favor and skip this one. Her response only confirms my review and experience. If you are so fragile that you wanted to throw someone out of your store for simply questioning the authenticity of an item that had a fake item on it then you should not be in business. We have dealt with hundreds of dealers all over the world and never found one as rude as this one. Just read her response if you have any doubts.

As I browsed the racks and shelves, I walked past a few employees, and none of them acknowledged me. I felt surprised to see that a pair of women's jean shorts were priced at $40. Later, I found tank tops that had a regular price of $10 each were on sale for $6 each, so I picked up a few of them. At the checkout counter, three cashiers were available. After I stood in line for several minutes, one cashier called me over. She accurately rang up my purchase. Overall, Old Navy is not a store where I frequently shop, but I feel happy to occasionally stop by and see what clothing styles are being offered.
