Too Good To Be Threw Apparel

Great selection upstairs when I went. Nicely organized. Upstairs had the best items. Remember this is a second hand boutique so items change often and selection varies.

I wish I had read the reviews before going to cosign my high end items at this place! Do yourself a favor and eBay or sell your items at other consignment stores first. They nickle and dime you for EVERY little thing and I mean EVERY little thing! First off, had I known there would be a $ 5 set up fee and a monthly «website maintenance» fee I would have said no thanks! I brought in a pair of red Tory Burch flats that retail for $ 228 and they listed it for $ 114. They had only been worn for 2 – 3 times and still in the original box and had receipts. Little had I known they would mark the price to HALF OFF and sell for only $ 57 which means I get $ 28.50! What a complete rip off!!! These people obviously have no clue how to price items there. They had Marc Jacobs bags there priced at nearly the retail price and I found the EXACT bag at Nordstrom Rack for $ 50 less, BRAND NEW. When I brought this to the sales rep’s attention she merely shrugged and said that was a good deal at Rack. How pathetic! I won’t be cosigning or going to shop at this place ever again.

I absolutely love this place. They have designer clothes and yes they are pricey, what do you expect from Armani, Louis Vuitton, Prada? This place allows me to have a piece of high end designer clothes at a reasonable price. I do have to admit that some of the lower designer brand –Lucky Brand, Michael Kors clothing are priced high. People who take the consignments are not friendly and act stuck up. They could be more tactful when not taking someone’s clothing. They were very unfriendly to my son’s girlfriend. I do understand that they cannot take everything but at least be polite about it.

Decided to stop by here today since I always pass by. The place is very well organized and clean. The clothes are definitely nice and if you do a little searching, you can find great deals. Most of the clothes are overpriced though.
Fitting rooms are good and staff was helpful.
The only real negative besides the overpricing is the smell. SUPER strong smell that permeates throughout the store. Made me nauseated!

Ok, first of all I only buy my clothes at banana, ann Taylor, buckle, chicos! Some of my items had the original price tag on them! You cannot leave while they interrogate your inventory so you go over to shop in their store. Smart marketing. Most of their crap is MawMaw crap but they have some designers that someone under 50 might care for. they wouldn’t take my crap because they only found 5 items they liked. The 5 with original tags on them. Never been worn. Are you kidding me. I wouldn’t wear 95% of their crap AND it is over-​priced to boot!

I have found some very cute blouses and tank tops here. But overall I feel that this place is overpriced for used clothes.
The smell if perfume is OVER the top and nauseating.
ALSO, they fail to ever mention that all your purchases are final sales! I was not informed of this until I went back in to do an exchange. And they were snarky too about it. Like ’ uhhh no. Its a final sale’ as if I’m doing something horribly wrong by going in there.
After tat, i dont care to come back. I think Platos closet and Uptown Cheap Skate have better business plans and are much more friendly.

I am not impressed or happy with this location. Sometimes the staff are available to help and sometimes they act snobby. Their were times i would be by the jewelry and purses and they would not approach me even if they were not busy. they do have a lot of things I give them that but they are very overpriced when a lot of the things you can buy them brand new at Nordstrom on sale. When it comes to consignment they are extremely picky with what they take. I have had many designer clothes some with tags that they will not take because it may not be of the season or the material is not of the season. I go to other consignment stores and make more money from my expensive clothing then from this place. In my personal opinion and experience I give them one star. The positives from this place is that they do have a lot of clothes for men and women, only one rack for plus size which they need to sell more of, and it is clean. Oh and they are not very child friendly. my 7 year old was with me at all times and the lady that was on the floor was just eyeing my son like a hawk to make sure he wasn’t grabbing any of the clothes. Very inappropriate and I had to walk out or I would have really lost my cool and been inappropriate with her.

I’ve consigned with two other places in San Antonio before but had not with this shop and I will never consign with again. I am moving overseas and I was getting rid of a lot of my clothes. I took a few to a higher end boutique in Alamo Heights but what they wouldn’t take I took here (my usual place Garment Exchange was too far a drive).
I dropped off my items and then never heard back. The other two palaces I’ve consigned with sent me an email of the items I dropped off and kept in touch with me, so I didn’t care that this place did not. Especially since the other two places price your items and then make sure the prices are okay with you before selling them.
About 3 weeks in I decided to pick them up because I figured I’d forget about them being there once I was overseas and instead I’d just take them to Clothes Mentor and finally be done with them.
When I called I was informed that I would not be able to retrieve my clothes. I was told they had to keep them for 3 months, it was in the contract. I admit I didn’t really look over the contract that day and I wouldn’t have figured that any store could «keep» your property (again the others I’ve consigned with do not do this, you can collect them whenever you want with notice). After going back and forth with her and being adamant that I would collect them whether she said I could or not, she informed that would be fine but I would never be able to consign with them again.
When I went to pick up they made me wait 10 minutes for 7 items that I asked them to pull 5 days previously. It turns out they only sold one of my items, a Michael Kors skirt $ 75 that still had the price tag on it. They sold it for $ 17. They said they had marked it down 25%. My items had only been there two weeks. And to top it off they said I wouldn’t be receiving any money for that sold item because I owed them $ 5 for them to sale my items and $ 4 for a «steaming» fee.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. Garment Exchange where I’ve sold before never charged me these BS extra fees, told me I couldn’t have my clothes back or retaliated against me by removing the price tags that were still on my clothes. Otra Vez who I had consigned my more expensive items with the same day I sent my other items to TGTBT had no problem with an early pickup, they never told me I couldn’t have my clothes back, and they didn’t hit me with bogus fees after picking them up. I don’t even know what the price was on that skirt they sold because they never gave me a price list. They could have sold it for more and then just told me they only sold it for $ 17.
Shady, shady place. There are tons of other consignment shops to go to, don’t bother with these people.

Found a brand new dress (White house/​Black market) for a wedding I was attending for 40.00 dollars, the tag was still on it and the original price was 118.00. I have come to shop here quite a few times and never leave disappointed.

Went there looking for black heels & flats specifically & was disappointed in the selection. Maybe they don’t like to focus on shoes but if that’s what you’re looking for good luck. Prices seemed steep.

Getting there was a bit tricky, but GPS made it happen.
(Be advised, the following is written by a 30-​something woman who spends a ton of money on high end clothing… not a 20-​something hipster looking for cheap jeans.)
Staff: It took a bit for someone to offer to put my selections in a dressing room, but the store was busy and my arms are functional. Beyond that, everyone was personable and friendly. The atmosphere is casual, so don’t expect the refinement you might find in some of Houston’s River Oaks boutique resale joints.
Clothing: Labels were all over the place but it seems as though they are careful in what they choose for consignments. The racks are somewhat well organized. There is a designated Chico’s rack, for example. Other racks are organized by garment, then size, of course. I tried on Escada, Pucci, Burberry, Milly of NY, DVF and a host of others. Left with a Pucci (new with Neiman’s tags). I found the prices to range from reasonable to HUH? but mostly erring on the reasonable side. The clearance racks were generously stocked.
Shoes: A moderate selection of decent designers. Shoes seemed well cared for.
Jewelry: I left with two costume pieces and a darling sterling necklace. Prices were reasonable.
Bags: I didn’t see anything that I fancied. Many Brahmin bags, if that blows your dress up. If you’re after that Chanel GST or anything with an Hermes label, it ain’t here… and that’s ok.
Fitting Rooms: Not particularly well appointed, but adequate space to get the job done, and that’s what matters most, right?
Miscellany: They have a well organized loyalty program that seems like it’s worth a damn. They also have a selection of men’s clothing and shoes. There’s an upstairs area that I did not have time to visit.
All in all, a fun place. I plan to make it a go-​to when I’m in San Antonio. It’s the kind of shop where there’s about a 78% chance that I’ll find something to purchase and those odds are fine by me!

Not impressed.
I spent about 20 minutes in the store at least. Nobody greeted me or offered any assistance.
The prices were high I thought. While their stuff appears to be in good condition, it’s clearly used stuff. Based I what I was looking at, I estimated that prices were about 75% what I would pay if it were new.
I thought their both their furniture and clothing selection looked a bit dated as far as style goes, not that I am a fashionista or anything.
I would rather pay more and get something new that is exactly what I want.
Not coming back. It wasn’t worth the drive out here.

I’ve been here a couple of times and think that I’ve given it as many chances as I can. I should say first that I’m a really picky shopper. If i haven’t found anything the first time around the shop then I’m done. This is definitely not a typical thrift store/​second hand store. The stuff in here is pricey for second hand merch. A lot of the items, I felt, were more for older women. There is an upstairs where they do carry an array of items. Walk upstairs and you’ll find children’s, junior’s, shoes, accessories, and even bridal gowns. It was a little too overwhelming for me. The downstairs had a sizable collection but each area upstairs was a small collection for each division. It’s worth a shot to come here but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Arrived ½ hour before closing, so can’t give much detail. Should have gone straight upstairs, where the deeper discounts are kept. There are kids’ clothes upstairs too, but the prices are not competitive.

This is probably the largest re-​sale store in San Antonio. They had a really cute Louis Vuitton purse for $ 595, but it was really old and not worth that price. The selection is good and they have all the name brands. The staff was hard to come by and almost seemed if it were a burden to help you. God forbid if I wanted to see something in a case. I would much rather give my business to New York Exchange or Baubles and Beads… they appreciate the business.

When I was a full-​time San Antonian, I visited this place at least once a week. I found fabulous bargains here and learned how to shop consignment boutiques which helped me as I travel the world.
I would rate this place at a top ten in the US and Europe. I found new, still tagged Diane VF, D&G, LV, all authentic, here and paid next to nothing.
Super place when you need a quick outfit and don’t want to spend a great deal of money.
I haven’t been here in a bit, but will return. The customer service was okay but I didn’t expect much as I was paying rockbottom prices. I would compare to Filene’s in NYC except the clothes at TGTBT are gently worn.
