    Back of stained lululemon sports bra

    they just took a wipe and only took some of the "just deodorant" stains as they called them. Their lululemon rack is pretty full, but then you see how they're selling dirty clothes- it's very understandable why. You don't charge 30$ and 40$ an item for something stained. I highly recommend you go to the lululemon "we made too much section" and you can get clean never worn bras for 29$. Same with the tanks. The lululemon like new website would also be better if you're looking for a more eco friendly route. I wanted to support a local business, but no. As consumers, we deserve more than just someone scrubbing their hardest to get a stain out (and not even all of it) instead of discounting it.

    This place is so organized! I visited on a weekday so it wasn't busy but I was so impressed with how easy it was to browse through the shop. Everyone is arranged by size and color. The styles skew younger/casual. I saw some North Face, Lululemon, J Crew, etc. I would consider the condition to be good (not like new or excellent). You can definitely tell the clothing is used but everything is clean and decently priced.

    This store reminds me of another store called Plato's closet. Be aware that this is a consignment store and not a thrift store. This means they purchase clothes from other people. The clothes are not donated and that means the pricing will be higher than a thrift store. It is nicely laid out, well organized, doesn't have that used clothes smell and a nice atmosphere with clean fitting rooms It is mainly going to cater to juniors based on the mid to lower end brands that I found. They had a decent clearance section and a small men's section. I didn't find anything I liked or that would fit me but it's worth a stop especially if you are in your teens or 20s.

    I didn't find what I was looking for. I was looking for used sport coats but this store doesn't have that type of inventory.

    They bought my shoes for $2, then I visited the store selling them for $39.99. They're shamelessly low- balling for sure

    Just went back to the shop yesterday -- here are some updates!…read more - The shop is open now on Sundays from 3-6 pm... and NOT open on Saturday from 12-3. Essentially its hours now are Thursday-Sunday 3-6 pm. Even if the door is locked, just knock and the shopkeeper will let you in. - The owner (Sylvia) is going to start transitioning the clothes to the spring season... coming in a couple of weeks or so! - On that note, the shop's strong suit are the accessories -- lots of nice cocktail hats/handbags/jewelry. Examine closely, because pretty much everything in there's for sale. - Starting next week she's going to start making prices static. Yeah, no more haggling, but at least it will be a lot less pressure for those who are uncomfortable with negotiating. In conjunction, some of the prices of the clothing will be adjusted... so maybe that amazing paillette jacket will be cheaper now? Also, I've learned something recently, having become acquainted with the owner. Y'know how it might be kind of intimidating/irritating when the shopkeeper tries to talk to you/make comments about what you're browsing? Well, I always found it that way. All in all, it's just the keeper trying to be friendly, not necessarily trying to pressure you into buying something. Ain't nothin' wrong with trying to be nice.

    Wow. I cannot explain how happy and lucky I feel to have found this awesome little shop. The…read moreselection is amazing. The prices are to die for, especially in DC where most vintage or thrift stores are anything but thrifty. The shop owner, Sylvia, is such a sweet lady. She gave me a great deal on some amazing pieces I would have easily paid double for and still would have walked out thinking I got a good price. Needless to say I will be going back again and again and will do my best to spread the word about this lovely little gem. I am almost a bit hesitant to share this with too many of my friends, as I want to make sure I get all the goodies, but there seemed to be plenty to go around and the shop owner is just too nice and lovely to not help support. Go there - you will find something you love. Great place to buy gifts!!!
