Really loved the selection of items I saw at the store. I liked the styles displayed and was not really interested in the high brand items but their mid-brand are good for the price and style. The staff were helpful and the 10% discount was cool. I was initially planning on selling my items here but it looks like from other reviewers the process may not be as transparent. I sell back my stuff at places where they have the procedures of pricing clearly listed out.

First time ever, to can buy and sell clothes here. Very organized and racks are labeled well. There are expensive items but also pieces down to $8 I feel like you can find quality here, but the obvious brands will have an up-charge Overall good experience though They will ask you to hold the bags in storage at the front

Existing more of a vintage second-hand clothing store that even offers some designer wear, 2nd Street sounds like a promising prospect for those looking for a unique style to their wardrobe. That said, much of their inventory is objectively overpriced, which I imagine turns more customers away empty-handed than store management would like. While not unusual, be prepared for outdoor bags to be inspected and checked by a security guard at the store entrance. It wasn't an issue for my party, but I'm sure some would find that information beneficial.

Im seeing bad experiences when trying to sell them stuff but i only stopped in to get some stuff. From the second i walked in and dropped my bag off i was being followed. They have security at the front and tags on everything in the store but felt the need to follow a young african american man around while shopping. I still found some shoes and some clothes while in the area but the few people watching me shop was the reason for 3 stars. Also im not sure if they legit test everything so just be aware i saw some unauthentic shoes in here. Wouldve been better if they just let you shop instead of follow my every move and act busy when i look up but i guess thats how you guys run business 🤷🏾♂️

Waited almost 2 hours for no apparent reason. Went in and then and only then did they "attempt " to verify one of my items through entrupy. I watched on as the salesperson manhandled my very delicate dior piece...slamming it down every time they got interrupted. Then proceeded to say since they couldn't properly get the entrupy device inside the item that they wont be able to take it. Also brought in an early 90s Chanel belt that they supposedly cant take due to some licensing BS. Save the trip and look into self selling ✨️
