Chloe’s Closet

They took 26 items, and 3 sold. Really disappointing considering most were baby gap and Hannah Anderson, but I guess they didn’t attract buyers though. I have had better luck selling kids clothes out right to other shops, so I think I’m going to skip selling here.
You can buy things in their $ 1 bin, that are perfectly good. Some of their pricing is just too high, I have a hard time buying sleepers used for $ 8, but for $ 4 I’ll load up and get a few.
Sellers, be very careful dropping off toys that are incomplete, or if they seem incomplete. They just donate them straight away, especially if they are busy, or before closing — they won’t call you back. I’ve seen a lego set get donated, because they wouldn’t be able to check if all the pieces were inside. It’s legos, mark it 75% off retail and someone will buy it. The ladies who work there are super nice though.

It’s a consignment shop so go in with an open mind and hope you can find some treasure.
That said, I have a couple of issues with this store: rude salespeople on each occasion I’ve stopped in (only three times but still), and overpriced merchandise for clothing that is, by and large, a little too well-​worn.
Sizes seem to stop at age 5 and there are far more girls’ clothes for sale, at least at this location.
Chloe’s Closet also has a small selection of classic children’s books and games but again, the prices seem too high for a consignment store.
Clothes, some shoes, toys and baby gear, it’s worth a quick stop if you’re strolling on Irving, just manage your expectations.

Smaller than the Glen Park location, and I wasn’t as happy with the types of clothes I found… but I would imagine that WIDELY varies based on the size (2T) you’re looking at. I saw mostly Circo (target) and Carters, where at the Glen Park location they had Crewcuts and Gap Kids.
Still, the prices are reasonable and most of the items I looked at were in very good to like new condition. There aren’t a lot of kids’ resale shops to choose from, and Chloe’s is solid, so it’s worth a look!

Chloe’s closet is a god send for bargain shopping for the kid (why buy new anyways? The kid doesn’t know!). We love coming here making our treks into the city, indian food, then chloe’s closet has become a ritual. They have great selection of clothing and shoes, great place to go for the kiddo.

Having checked out both SF locations for baby clothes, I much prefer this one. The one in Bernal is larger, but the Inner Sunset location has nicer ambience, better clothes and friendlier staff. Also, the Inner Sunset is a way better neighborhood to chill out in, given the park, coffee shops, etc that are right there. At Bernal, despite the larger selection, I walked out with two onesies that were pretty worn (one even had a very faint stain). At this location I got a pristine cable knit one piece, a velour one piece, a stripy sweater, a dressy vest (with a little handkerchief built into the pocket! So cute) and a pair of blue striped pants with green accent drawstring. I could have gotten more but was trying not to go too crazy! I’ll definitely be frequenting this place to see what else I can score.

I think this place is amazing. I’m shocked to hear San Franciscans complains about parking and small stores? Then go pay full price at Baby’s R Us! Yes, it’s small but but it’s packed with great values. I’ve purchased tons of higher-​end garments for $ 5 – 6 each. All of the clothes is really clean and in great condition. I’ve never sold, just bought. But I have tons of great finds and can’t wait to dress our newborn.

A good selection and very well priced. We managed to get 6 or 7 pieces for about $ 50. The only downfall is how small the store is. Expect there to be at least 2 or 3 strollers in the store plus moms and kids to match. Staff was friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to check out the other location in Albany.

Great store and I feel better about getting rid of my child’s old things knowing that they’ll be put to use — and we can get newer things that fit! It’s soooo tiny. That’s the only downside so if someone goes in with a stroller — forget it.

This was my first and last time I will ever go in to this store, which is really sad as I have a 1 year old and live in this hood. And love the ideals of buying and selling used clothes. I usually donate my unwanted clothing but my child has received so much that still have the tags on them I thought why not give this a shot and we can trade or get store credit. Anyways to cut a long story short the middle aged lady in there today pretty much called me a racist when she was explaining what happens to the clothes she mentioned that the clothes usually get sent to homeless children in Mexico. When I replied really I would like it to stay in san Francisco that their are plenty of homeless kids here. To which she replied that if this offends you that Choles Closet is not the place for me… ok lady I would rather cut my loses and bring the unused clothes to a local charity. It was so bad that another customer followed me out and said how rude she was.
I’m only writing this as I’m fuming from the insult.

It’s a good store to do some «just for fun» shopping, but like any consignment shop, it’s not ideal if you’re looking for something specific. That being said, they usually have a good stock of blankets, stretchy wraps, and hats. I’ve found some good quality gear too– I bought a nice swing and exersaucer here.
Consignment is easy– you can drop off & donate or wait to watch them go through your stuff. They will make you an account and keep track of the $ you’ve earned.
The Irving location is Very Small. Your stroller will not fit here. The Bernal location is larger and has a great selection of toys as well as clothes. I was especially impressed with Bernal’s selection of sleep sacks.

I just hate how cramped that little store is. There is no way that you can come inside with a stroller, and if you do no one else can come through. If there is more than 3 people inside the store — it is a crowd. I usually get too irritated about the lack of space and leave before even looking through everything I wanted. I was able to come a couple of times and find something cool though. Some of the items are way too pricey. Otherwise it is like with any other consignment store — you either hit or miss.

Parking is horrible unless you live around the area.
The shopping area in the store is cramped
It’s a hit or miss whether you’ll find stuff. Sleep sack, Snap Trap, and Robbez shoes.

I am only rating this place 4 stars because I can find used dance wear which can be very difficult to find. The dance shoes (tap and ballet) are thrown into a box so you have to sit there and sort through it but you can find almost new shoes for $ 5-​$ 6 which is a HUGE bargain compared to $ 30 brand new.
I have not purchased anything else at this store used and in my very quick glance, found the pricing to be mixed… low for some items but very high for a lot of not so nice items.
But thanks for having great used toddler dance wear.
I took 1 star off because parking and traffic is TERRIBLE in this location. Maybe if it were a few blocks closer to 19^th but that intersection is super busy.

Worst then a garage sale. Over priced junky used items and extremely over prices new items. Dark, dank and disorganized.

My wife and I stopped in here to kill some time. Little did we know we’d be walking out with our hands full of clothes and shoes for our daughter. The shop is a little tight, they definitely make use of the space they have. But, the staff was super helpful. We will definitely be coming back to pick up some more clothes when she moves into the next size.

Yes, it’s smaller than Bernal Heights– but I have to say I have found some really great stuff here. I’ve dropped off a bunch of stuff and received hardly any credit [sad face] but I really love what I can find: new stuff with the tags on it, extra cut «brand name» clothes that are hardly used, pajamas, socks and books! Love this place– great for new mom’s who are on a budget!

I’ve found some good pieces here. But it’s a hit or miss. I think bernal heights gets better inventory.
Not sure who’s the buyer at this location but left 3 big bags to be sorted and found it interesting they didn’t take practically new Gymboree shirts and gap jeans all bought within last year. Kids always need jeans. But whatevaz!
So If you are selling know that if you want cash you have to wait for it in the mail for almost 3 months. And whatever they don’t sell they will donate. You just have to trust their system that something doesn’t get miscounted.
For the 2 and half bags they kept I only got $ 26 in the mail. And I had good stuff I mean pretty new shoes and few pieces of Janie and jack.
So I prob would have gotten more selling on Craigslist but I support their cause.
Would give them more if they had more stuff.

Seems like a great idea but I was disappointed with the high prices and low quality. I checked out a few baby items and they showed a fair amount of wear. Prices were suprisiningly high — a few onsies were around $ 10. There was a blanket thing that was $ 25. And an Old Navy Maternity sweater for $ 15. These seem like prices for new items on sale, not used/​worn items. For me, quality needs to go up or prices down. I’ll probably stop in again to check it out, but it seems like more of a needle in a haystack than I place I’ll use regularly.

I’m so happy that I have a consignment shop for my kids shopping to go too. I realize that they have a second location but this location works best for me, I have yet to try to sell here so you’ll have to wait for a review on that. Unfortunately not a wide selection for my toddler. If you have a girl, I feel you’ll have more options.

Maybe you will love this place if you try to make money off of your old stuff instead of donating it…
But I stopped in to grab a pair of shoes for a friend’s kid (long story) and their CIRCO shoes were priced at $ 11. $ 11 for Target brand shoes? The shoes were probably $ 10.99 new. Really overpriced for used stuff. Have more fun by meeting your neighbors at garage sales, or use Craig’s List for used kids stuff. This place’s prices are nearly the same as new.
