My friends and I drove an hour and a half to get here only for the shop to be closed with no note or anything. On the website, yelp, Google, and their front door it says they're open from 12-5 on Sundays. This is extremely unprofessional and an utter waste of time. read more

Looking to level up your wardrobe, or find that designer statement piece to pair with a classic shirt and shoes? Check out Vicki's Secret! My companies annual conference is around the corner, which means I need some fresh fits to look good on camera. The owner, Jan welcomed me to her shop and offered assistance should I need it. I already had 3-4 pieces I wanted to try on so she quickly started a fitting room for me. Once I shared what I was looking for, she went to action pulling pieces that I might like - she even pulled from the sale rack. A Chanel dress in the window is what caught my attention and brought me inside. Jan did not hesitate to remove it from the mannequin so I could try it on. In the shop each rack is labeled by designer so if you're a fan of Prada or McQueen it will be easy to find. There is also a shoe and purse section. After 30+ years in operation you can count on Jan to know what is on trend and what to pass on. Great first experience here, I definitely will return. Closed on Monday. Layaway options are available for 60-days. Park in the free parking lot across the street, next to Old Chicago pizza. read more

I am a long time resident of Petaluma and have always been curious about this store. Recently my mother came to visit and she loves to shop consignment so we decided to check out Vicki's. My mom is a people person and loves to engage with small business owners. My mom started up a conversation regarding a designer piece- I forget the brand- and was corrected on the pronunciation of the brand by the owner. Then my mother inquired about the price as it appeared to her to be a bit high and the owner was dismissive. The experience was not great. It felt like we were judged from the moment we entered given we were in workout clothing and not so fancy. Also doesn't seem like products move quickly - and there is a distinct stale smell. read more

I love this store! They carry a beautiful assortment of clothes, shoes, handbags, and accessories. The owner, Jan, is the sweetest person and knowledgeable about her inventory. She's very helpful. Every time I come in, I have a great experience and find cute items that I didn't know I needed. read more

I purchased a designer top ($150) that the owner said was new and never worn. I tried it on with a mask on since it was required to enter. I went home and the top was full of perfume . I am allergic to perfume smells. I hung the top outside for the evening and called and left several messages. I finally reached the owner at 11:30am right after opening the next day. I told her I couldn't wear the top due to the strong odor. She insisted she could not control it if people wore perfume while trying clothes on. I told her someone sprayed perfume on while they were wearing it. I asked to return the top for credit or refund. She said she would not because she would loose money because she already paid for the top as soon as it was purchased. Really in a day? That is not what happens in a consignment store. She was not helpful and was very abrupt. I will never step foot in this store again. read more

I bought the most beautiful Chanel jacket that fits like a glove. Janet was so helpful and she had exactly what I was looking for. She was so nice and patient with me and I would definitely recommend this store if youre interested in exceptional customer service and gorgeous clothing. Very happy read more

Recently I was in Vicki's Secret which is a wonderful boutique on the main street of Petaluma.... I was looking for something special to wear in an important venue. I had been to several stores and just couldn't find the right thing! The sales lady at the store made several suggestions and I ended up trying on items I would have never though to try on. To my surprise I found something so slimming and perfect thanks to her help. I would recommend Vicki's Secret to anyone!! read more

Well, I really hate to write a horrible review, but looks like they brought it upon themselves. I was in here recently with my mother and my baby. We were just browsing since we've heard about this place here and there (mostly because of the name of the business and Victoria's Secret getting all bothered about it). We strolled in and the woman whom I assume is the owner, gave us the most obligatory "hello" and the look on her face immediately told us she knew we didn't fit her little clientele profile. Yeah, that's right--we got "retail profiled"! haha. The store had an overwhelming older woman perfume smell that gave me a headache, and the items were ridiculously priced. I'm sure they're nice, and I could see they were designed, but for consignment--c'mon. As we left, I said, "thank you!" because that's what I do to small business owners since not a lot of people do that these days and I try to be nice. Well, I guess it doesn't matter since her and the other employee went right on jabbering their lips off, not acknowledging us leaving and thanking them for nothing apparently. I will never go back here, and VICKY, if you want to stay afloat in a store full of unnecessaries in the midst of one of the roughest economic times in our history, you better learn to appreciate any inkling of a customer walking into your store. Goodbye. read more

The owner(?) or shopgirl couldn't even be bothered long enough to get off her cell to greet me! Not even so much as a"HI"... I WILL NOT BE BACK - EVER! P.S.: That little chiffon Chanel dress you have hanging by the door...the one you have priced for $650...Yeah, the chiffon is ripped in ALL the pin-tucks!!! You're never going to sell it!!! Just sayin... read more

Sleeping baby in my stroller? Check Money to burn? Check In the mood to shop? Check Designer consignment!? Check NO STROLLERS. Darn. I guess they dont want my money. read more

I've never felt so uncomfortable in a local store before. The items I brought in to consignment here were donated to Charity ... When I went to retrieve them, I was told rudely that I "should have read the store policy" and given the snootiest, most defensive gaze ever. Nothing like... "I'm sorry for your confusion" or any type of remorse over my loss... I will miss my old jacket read more

If you are looking for the ultimate in high-end second-hand clothing, this is the place. It is definately worth traveling to Petaluma for a visit to this treasure trove of bargains! I once found a Chanel dress that was in perfect condition, and fit me like a glove, for a fraction of a fraction of the retail price. This is hands down the best consignment shop I have ever heard of. Designer purses, shoes, jewellery, and of course, clothing are available in great condition at great prices. read more

The more I shop here, the more I love it. They let me shop in peace, or help me find the perfect dress for that important occasion. I really appreciate that Jan can style me in ways that photograph well or help me 'leverage' a basic piece of clothing into outfits that rock. Items I buy there never let me down. The shop is in the beautiful historical district downtown. It's adorable but the buildings are very narrow. I usually carry a large tote bag and its really helpful that I can store it behind the counter while I shop. read more

Beautiful clothes, the buyer clearly has a great eye for high end designers. The racks are stocked. I found a gorgeous Tse cashmere coat for $250. It was barely worn and would have been around $1,000 new. I found the customer service very friendly and the woman who helped me was warm and gracious. read more

I've been a client for several years and Jan always is friendly, polite and helpful. The store has a good variety of high end brands. The prices reflect the quality you are getting. read more

Jan is the best... I love her and the shop.. I love to buy something high end as a treat for myself sometimes and always go here to find some Gucci, Prada, Chanel, and the SHOES!!! Oh the shoes!!! She knows everything in her shop and can help you find just what you're looking for (or NOT looking for... even better)... read more

Been in the store twice with my girlfriends. Was not greeted both times. The lady was so rude! She saw us and still went about her talking and acted like we were not even in the store. Poor business ethics. Lady this store is not Neiman Marcus. Everything is over priced and outdated anyways. No thanks!! read more

This is the best high end designer previously owned shop in the Bay Area. If you are looking for the above at a fraction of retail this is the shop for you. It is worth the trip to Petaluma, as she carries the most sought after clothes,purses, shoes and fabulous jewelry. And she has such a great selection that you can make one stop and find most of what you need to add to wardrobe or deck yourself out for that special event. I have shopped their for about 13 years and have really been pleased with the way my wardrobe has evolved into a great array of many fine items. The owner Jan knows her inventory and has a fabulous sense of design, while always being gracious with helping all her customers find just the right addition for their wardrobe. Treat yourself and give yourself time to really find the treasures. You will leave floating on a cloud. read more

If you want first-class style, great value for your money, and superb service, Vicki's Secret should be on your go-to list. And now that the economy has us all changing from Fashionistas to Recessionistas, we have even more reason to race to this jewel of a store in Pataluma to pick up fabulous bargains on whatever inspires us, from Chanel to Valentino and everything and anything in between. The selection is amazing -- and under the expert eye of owner Jan Mettner, nothing hits the racks if it isn't in super condition. I've been consigning my high-end designer clothing, shoes and accessories to Vicki's Secret ever since this first-class operation started six years ago. Jan Mettner runs the most beautiful consignment shop I've ever seen (and as a registered fashion and shopping maven, I've seen them all!) She knows her fashion and prices things fairly so that both consignors and buyers leave with smiles on their faces and stunning fashion on their backs. Like many of Jan's other consignors, I've been known to flip through the racks of clean, sweet-smelling clothing (no musty second-hand Rose aromas here!), organized by designer (you might think you were in Neiman's!) and pick up something for myself at the same time I'm dropping off my old goodies for sale. The selection is irresistible -- and the service is superb. Jan will even drive into San Francisco to pick up your offerings after a big closet purge. Who could ask for anything more? That's why smart shoppers flock here from all around the Bay Area. Kudos to Jan for filling a need for the fashion hungry. read more

I great little high end consignment shop! Got a great jacket for travel. Much better prices then the high end consignments down in the city. They were very friendly. So glad I went into the store. read more

If you love high-end designer fashions and don't want to pay full retail, then you will love Vicki's Secret in Petaluma. Owner Jann Mettner is a classy, savvy fashionista who gives wonderful personalized service customized to fit your needs and budget. I have been coming to Vicki's Secret for years, primarily because of Jan's warm and friendly nature. It's like going to a mini Neiman Marcus couture dept. where most everything is very slightly pre-owned-but many items have never been worn with tags on! I get a rush every time I go - the more you go the more Jan will get to know your style and colors and if she knows in advance you are coming she will put aside a few things for you to try on - and here's the good part-there is never any pressure at all to buy. I have labels in my closet I thought I would never own - I personally would never go and buy retail Chanel or Prada ready to wear, but now with Vicki's Secret I can buy these labels-guilt free. Yes-you will pay a bit more than your average consignment boutique - but when you are spending say $300 for a Cavalli dress instead of $1500 I'd say you got a great deal. Jan personally inspects each garment for flaws and would never put anything out that has stains or snags - and if there is a teenie light flaw it is disclosed up front. No surprises. She regularly rotates her clothes so nothing goes stale - and sticks to each season. And not to scare anyone away-she even has some select contemporary designers such as Tory Burch, J. Crew, Vince, & Kate Spade. Happy Treasure Hunting! read more

love the play on names. victoria's secret. vicky's secret. probably the reason why i walked in. always had noticed it really cute things. but you'll have to dig a bit to find what you want. but i think it's worth it when you're looking for some designer names. read more

You gotta love a consignment store that knows her product and her customers! Many consignment stores are inconsistent in the quality of products they carry. After all, they do have to depend on what they can find. This shop never disappoints. And ck out the 1/2 price rack! read more

So I don't normally do this but I was so hurt and disappointed with this store that I thought I owed it to others to tell my story. So I put up a pair of shoes and a bag for consignment at the store and opted to pick them up if they didn't sell, which they didn't. So when I called to find this information out, I told the owner I would pick them up and she said fine. Well life got busy and I forgot to to pick them up until a little over a month later. So when I finally went to get them the owner told me (in a very rude and cold manner) that she had donated my things and that they don't have time to call everyone to tell this information. She said I had a week from the time my consignment ended to have picked them up. Well that was the first time I had been told that, and if I had known it would have been more of a priority. The thing that really gets me is that she says she didn't have time to call( the whole minute it would have taken) when every time I have been in that store there was no one else in it!! This woman is rude, condescending, and very lucky to still be in business after all these years. All I can say is she should really get her nose out of the air and pay more respect to her younger clientele considering she is fading fast. read more

The owner Jan sold me a fake Louis Vuitton wallet for $150.00 When I went to get a repair at Louis Vuitton I was informed that it was a counterfeit. I went back to Vicki's Secret and talked to Jan and gave her the wallet. After months of deliberation she informed me that she would give me a $75.00 store credit and nothing more. I recently went up to Petaluma and was rudely told by Jan that since I waited to long she was not going to honer the credit at all!! I have spend thousands of dollars there in the past and will never step foot in that shop again. I am also sending in a complaint with the Better Business Bureau for selling counterfeit items at designer prices. read more

I had an absolute blast both times I've visited Vicki's Secret! The owner Jan is so personable and warm and the selection is very high end and well edited. I definitely recommend a visit if you are in Petaluma. So fun! read more

Chanel, McQueen, Prada, Gucci, Jimmy Choo....you are kidding me, all in one store, less than a season old...this store is a couture collectors dream, well worth the trip, and the hunt read more

This store is both a great place to shop for great designer clothes at a great price as well as a place to sell some items that were mistake purchases that we all have it our closet. The service that I have always received has been very friendly and very helpful. I do not understand some of the negative comments listed below. i have been shopping at this store for a long time. read more
