A lot of these vendors have their own little museums going. It's a shame because this could be a really great spot.

When this was a bigger space, there was at least a larger variety of vendors who would be willing to negotiate. Hoping when they move to a bigger space that things will change over and prices will be a little more reasonable.

I will preface this review by saying I am a difficult convert to thrift stores for clothing…read more(excepting rare vtg fashion), and even moreso when it comes to clothing or gear for my baby. But I admire people who can make use of thrifting for clothes, especially if they are saving money over what they'd pay elsewhere (I love saving money)!!! I bought all of our baby gear + 0-6m clothes new b/c I was paranoid of germs. That said, once 6m hit, my son went into a growth spurt that lasted 2 months, and grew him into 2T clothes! That was when I decided second hand was not such a bad thing. (I could not even get things through the wash before he grew out of them.) Until today, I'd never shopped at a kids' thrift store, I bought items a la carte on ebay (REI, LLBean, Carter's PJ's, etc). So I ended up at As They Grow in Berwyn b/c I called ahead about a second hand convertible tricycle/stroller. They had a Kettler model for $50 ($170 new). There are a ton of these ride-ons on the market, and my son is only 9mos, so I had been eyeing a version made for younger babies. The As They Grow proprietress (she didn't give her name) encouraged me to visit and take a look, in case it might work. Great. When we got to the store, the Kettler trike was right out front. There was more wear to it than I was expecting for $50 at a thrift shop. (Percent off retail is great for sales on new items, but it doesn't apply to the world of used. Garage sale prices apply.) Still, we took a look, discussed it as optimistically as we could, but it just did not seem safe for our son. The proprietress then came out to join us, and she agreed, he is too young. I decided to take a look inside since we made the trip. If you like high-end Nordy names for kids clothes (Mini Boden, Tea Collection, etc.) and filler with more middling preppy standards (Baby Gap, Polo, etc.) this is the place. Girls on the right, boys on the left. Clothes on racks, shoes lined along the wall on the floor. Tons of fancy preppy clothing in loud ginghams, rugby stripes, florals, etc. Bold bright prints, that will make cute photos, but are so noticeable, that your kid can't really wear them more than once or twice, b/c the statement is so memorable. I did not spend hours picking through everything, but I easily got a feel for the vibe, which was Derby race attire. Lilly and V. Vines galore! And don't take me for a knocker of these styles; I have plenty of V. Vines, and Lilly dresses (I sold half on ebay and still have a dozen of 'em), but I can't wear that stuff all the time. My son is crawling, and wants to get dirty, and I want to allow that growth to happen for him. I need practical, durable clothes for him, in dark or earthy colors (like the REI and LLBean mentioned above). I didn't see those labels here. They could exist in other seasons, or perhaps as consignments come in, but again, the vibe, was Devon Horse Show, not walk in the park. So for me, it was a wasted trip. I'd call these "vacation clothes," or "dress up clothes," or "family photo clothes," but not "everyday clothes." I attend storytime at Radnor Library every week, and none of the other babies wear these kinds of clothes on the daily either. Just providing my input for other shoppers, who will have varying needs. As They Grow was running a 50% off sale on all tags of certain colors (orange and green this time), so they work to move inventory by consignment age. However, the prices for used clothing were high. I saw some cute Janie & Jack boys' loafers, but the price was $20 used (and used looking)! I searched these on ebay and they're $8 there, in better condition (plus shipping, but that is a wash with my gas and time to lug a baby to the store). A no name brand was $7 for boys' pull-on print shorts. I can get these items brand new on sale for the same price (and this year's latest inventory). I can get them on ebay for half the price with shipping. I also have to say, when I visited in my "uniform" of yoga pants and VS tee, I was looked up and down. (I wear this outfit everywhere else I make Yelp reviews, and I never before noted that I've been looked up and down, except Devon WF.) I felt like I should have been dressed to the nines to visit a thrift store. Excuse me. I don't think the woman meant anything by it, and it is probably just her nature, but in a retail setting, toward a customer, it's not appropriate. I've shopped plenty of thrift stores for vintage furniture and home goods. I have donated tons to local thrift stores, as well. People at Bryn Mawr Hosp Thrift are super gracious and sweet, on the shopper end as well as the donor end. That is the kind of attitude that welcomes me back. It's a shame that I did not have a better experience at this place because I was on the fence about trying a local kid/baby thrift store, and this visit sent me right back to ebay, where I just bought my brand new Joovy Tricycoo for only $15 more than the used Kettler.

The feminine mystique is a mystery to me. So I met this girl in the mens bathroom of a train station...long story...but i knew when I saw her on the floor covered in what I thought was her vomit...but turns out to be someone else's...this girl is special. Very special. For our one week anniversary I decided to do something special...she hated it and unfortunately you can't return used items to that kind of store. Our one month anniversary she was stricken with trichinosis from my romantic dinner I prepared... ...for Christmas I decided that I would not fail. So I was collecting cans on the side of the road when someone drove by and threw an old toaster at me and hit me right in the head. When I came through I stood up and saw "Accent on Design." I went in and I was impressed by the selection of new and gently worn clothing, mostly gently worn, and their amazing selection of vintage costume jewelery. I bought a pair of earrings and a necklace for my special lady. Something that was beautiful, affordable, original, and not easily pawned to buy cans of keyboard cleaner...another long story. She loved the pieces and was very happy to know that this wasn't just some mass produced pieces that anyone can get at a department store. I have even been back for another set of earrings. The ladies who work at the store are great! They give good advice, they are very helpful and really make you want to come back. The only loss of a star is that I would like to see more jewelery and accessories. Great selection of clothes, but not enough accessories.

Lovely selection of items for sale in the store, but from my experience as a consignor, I can't…read moregive a good rating. First off, their website desperately needs to be updated to provide accurate information--they only consign by appointment and you need to call them for the appointment. This information is not on the website, nor are details such as how many items they will accept for inspection, how the items need to be presented and specific consignment guidelines (such as item conditions, labels accepted, etc). This is misleading, and their current policy has been in place for quite awhile now (based on a visit to the store over a year ago). Glad I called to verify, as I thought the "walk-in" policy was new. I gathered my items, making sure everything was clean and on hangers, and went to the shop on my appointed day. While they inspected my items, I was invited to browse the store. I noted the pricing on several items, and overall, I felt that many of the items were overpriced for what is basically an upscale thrift shop. The upside is that I only waited a relatively short time to see what they would accept. Out of 23 items, they accepted 6. And two of these items were mid-level designer handbags in very good condition. I was offered what I felt was an insultingly low amount of money for the items, or store credit. They offered some rationale, some of which was fair, but much, from my view (such as the condition of the bags) was not. Bottom line, they want items in new or pristine condition. However, while browsing, I saw things that clearly were not in that state. In the end, I know I could have walked out without leaving the items, but I opted to accept the offer, not because I felt it was fair, but mainly due to personal logistics (downsizing). Given the pricing I saw on what was for sale, I kind of felt ripped off and taken advantage of. I'm not new to consigning, but I thought I'd try someplace different this time around. From my experience, there are other shops in the area that are easier to deal with (in as much as communicating their consignment policies) and offer a better return to sellers on their items. Note to the management: Please consider those who patronize and consign to your shop and update your website (it's really not that hard to do) OR honor the walk-in policy that is currently posted.

I cannot remember a time that I have been so insulted. A few weeks ago, I took a few clothes to…read moreFashion Xchange, and the owner (?) told me that they require 20 or more items at a time. She also said that she wouldn't accept summer clothes, just fall/winter. I went home and went through my closets. I retired recently from a new home sales position and have dresses, skirts, and pants that I knew I would no longer wear. I just went back and waited while the owner helped another person. While waiting, I saw and bought a pendant. The owner then came out, said she had gone through all of my clothes and would only accept a couple of items. She told me that my clothes were "not what her clientele were looking for". I paid more for the pendant than I got for the few items she accepted.
