Wee Threads

This business is now CLOSED. The owner decided to take her business online instead. She did not give the website info to all customers only her personal favorites she said. It will be an online EBay store she said, mostly shipping to Japan. The prices were most often more expensive than they should sell for re: consignment when I purchased things here. Regardless, I will miss the store in Mill Valley, nothing else like it in town. That said, I will NOT miss the owner. I witnessed how she was only polite to select customers. even chose to put a song on while I was there with the chorus echoing «get out get out just go, leave» while not even saying a peep and 2 other customers and I were shopping there. Online will likely be a better fit, I imagine, for that type of business owner.

I will start by saying that I found the employee (or maybe owner?) to be very helpful. So I did not have a bad experience with help whatsoever.
My issue being that this consignment store prices are incredibly unreasonable. I live in Marin and shop numerous consignment stores. I love certain brands and I will hunt around to find them. I expect to pay certain prices for them. However, why would I pay full price for used Gap, gymboree, etc. items? There was a used Mini Boden cotton dress (slightly faded) for $ 26. This dress new at Nordstrom is $ 32. There was some Petite Bateau but even those items cost more than me ordering them online for new. To me that is ridiculous. Honestly, there was not one item that I felt would have been in the correct price range. Im not a «Hater», just smart with my money.
The shop is over crowded and slightly confusing — yet there was something about it that I found sweet so the over crowding did not bother me as much.

Lot of haters on here. Yes, the prices are high, but they carry high end merchandise. Truth is, that stuff holds its value. As they say, cheap is always cheap; high end is always high end. Just bought a Stokke high chair for half the retail price, and we’ll be able to resell it for about the same as we paid for it here after using it for a couple years. The seller is personable, and the staff very friendly. HIGHLY recommend this place (and we are «working class» teachers with not much disposable income [if any?], trying to raise twins in the Bay Area… [wish us luck???])

Fabuous finds… if you love the high end french designs and good quality products, plus truly extraordinary costumes, and special occassion dresses. Always find good books & games… my daughter loves to play as I shop… wonderful family owned small business… friendly, consistently positive & helpful over many years of shopping here.

Vey expensive, utterly disorganized and overstuffed, the help is rude. Posted hours are on an «ish» type of clock.
The owner is a nice woman and helpful, but not there all the time. Even so, doesn’t make up for the pricing. Go to the City or Berkeley; way better.
(The New) Mill Valley strikes again…

Consignment store for kid/​baby clothes at exorbitant prices

I consigned here recently, for the first time, and it was one of the worst experiences. Make sure you sign a contract with the owner, Teresa, and get everything written down in black and white before you consign anything here. She does not practice good faith.

So overpriced for used clothing, it’s criminal. And the woman running the store couldn’t be bothered to get off the phone on her personal call to assist me. Totally turned off. Mill Valley is not the «über rich» and even if it were, I’m not paying effing $ 75 for used size five toddler khakis. Ridiculous. Even if you donated such clothes to goodwill, they wouldn’t let you get away with these price points.

Well-​organized & prices higher than typical sales, but evidently the people in this area can afford to pay higher prices for gently used children’s clothing than for many of the same brand names you can find during store sales. I genuinely appreciate the recycling aspect.
I do have to say that it’s a one-​stop shop for a little bit of everything under one roof, so that’s nice. Everything is easy-​to-​find, organized by size & gender & the help is genuinely helpful. Books, toys & everything from Gap to ultra high-​end.
$ 135 Burberry sport coat? The price is probably right on the money, but not for my humble pocket book.

On first entering Wee Threads and looking at all the amazing clothes I would have given them 5 stars. However, after peeking at the prices for their clothes I was completely turned off. Paying almost full price for used Baby Gap, Carters and Gymboree clothing? No way. I was expecting the designer dresses to be more expensive but $ 85 for a used dress? I might as well buy a new dress.
There really was a great selection of beautiful clothes, but there was hardly anything there I was wiling to pay for (I did buy a darling $ 12 pair of red mary janes, the best deal in the whole store). The store was pretty difficult to get around in. The racks were crammed full of clothes and there were baskets under the racks, on top of fixtures and in front of the checkout area. The cramped atmosphere gave me the feeling that the merchandise was not moving because of the prices.
Bottom line: if I am purchasing second hand clothing, no matter how gently used, I have a problem paying almost full price for those clothes.

This is an amazing store… you can really find gorgeous one-​of-​a-​kind items. If you are looking for french & english labels & something unique. Lots of classic & vintage baby items. Excellent for gifts. Really friendly & helpful staff. You can get some great deals on barely worn high end designers & hard-​to-​find items. Definitely worth a stop! Plus, they are really kid-friendly…no hassle when your little one wails or topples over a basket. :)

I’ve been into the store a few times. I like looking at all the clothes for my daughter. I just can’t spend that kind of money on already been worn clothing. Some of the items aren’t badly priced but most of it seems over priced.
It is also over crowded with clothes and other items. It looks unorganized and disheveled. I’d like to spend more time looking around but I end up having to get out of there b/​c of the clutter. Maybe I will buy something there for a special occassion but for right now, I will just look.

I visited this store on my kids-​consignment spree and I was disappointed at the high prices. The brands/​condition of the clothing was excellent and it was very well stocked, but the prices, especially for «mall brands» (gap, gymboree, etc) bordered on outrageous. I also love Euro brands but I buy them on sale or on ebay and even the boutique pricing seemed, way, way high.
Other than that though, pretty store with a ton of cute inventory. Sorry I couldn’t spend any money though.

This little gem is a resale store, not a consignment shop. As I would expect in Mill Valley this charming store is full of gently used boutique and European fashions. The owner is a local Mom who has lovely taste and is very personable. My recent purchases include a Lili Gaufrette jumper in perfect condition at less than half its price, Two Mini Boden shirts (I’ve found some of the best deals in those baskets under the round racks) about $ 12 each and an awsome pair of dark red Italian leather boots with flowers on them that I wish fit me! There are definatly some expensive items (Oilily anyone?) but to me half the fun is hunting through the racks for bargains!

Remember folks, this IS Mill Valley, where absolutely nothing is wildly expensive! There just isn’t any other place in this ‘over the top’ town where you’ll find such softly used, quasi barely wrinkled remnants of the über rich… Truly a wonderland emporium of delights for young moms, aspiring moms and grandmoms alike. Customer service divinely impeccable with that’ je né sais quoi ’ which is often lacking from those who are accustomed to serving this hamlet’s noblesse oblige. In other words, you just feel downright comfortable here.

This store is WAY overpriced for second-​hand. They had used baby clothes from The Gap and Carter’s that cost more than the brand new version at the store.
Wee Threads also crams so many used clothes into such a tiny space that it is difficult to browse. Stores like this make me feel really claustrophobic. I expected more baby items (i.e. gear, furniture, etc.) but the store is mostly filled with used clothing. In general, i just expected more from a consignment baby shop in Mill Valley. The quality was sub-​par (many of the clothes had pilling from overuse!) and the prices were outrageous. Do your homework, and you can get new items for less.

The clothing selection is adorable and many items have never been worn before. Great place to buy very cute, trendy clothes (they had the cutest pair of Tory Burch flats for girls there recently… not cheap, but a lot cheaper than retail prices!)

I’ve been several times now and love the clothing! Beautiful clothes from Paris and Italy – which I buy for special events for my girls; but also tons of affordable, everyday clothes. And while the European clothes are more expensive than other items, they are NOTHING like the prices you would pay at a dept. store or boutique. Every time I’ve gone in the sales woman has been very helpful – letting me browse but giving help when I need it. And during this awful economy, it is great to have a place where I can get my girls cute clothes at a great price.

I found Wee Threads by a lucky accident. I love the window shopping in Mill Valley, but usually can’t afford to buy anything. I stopped at Wee Thread’s window (which is as delectable as the store’s inventory). I saw that it was resale, and decided to give it a try. The store owner (who is ADORABLE) has eye candy as far as the eye can see, and while the other review says «wildly expensive», it is just the opposite! Anyone with taste and an eye can see that her inventory is the highest end, and now affordable for me too! The clothing is in impeccable shape, too, so I felt like I was getting new. Make it a point to visit this store. It also has a great selection of shoes and vintage looking toys and furniture.

This store is wildly expensive for a «re-​sale» store. I suppose rent is high in Mill Valley so that is the reason but wow!
There are lots of designer clothes for your designer kid here, I saw a Burberry Jacket for 98.00 $, used no less. But should your baby/​child need to stay warm in a plaid quilted jacket at the playground this is your store! T
The store is jam packed with lots of clothes, shoes (mostly new), some bedding and one or two cribs. The woman who worked there was not the owner and didn’t seem to know when the owner would be in the store as she was «quitting» Pretty funny.
Overall if you want to spend this kind of money on your kid, I would say buy new down the street at MV Mercantile. What is the point of a re-​sale shop if it is the same price as a true store?
