It’s a quite big boutique and has good brands. I’m giving 4 star because all goodwills in the area are kind of expensive considering their inventory is literally donations.
(Sellwood) I bought a Coach bag for $50.00 and I got a great geal. overall I thought the clothing was nice but maybe a bit overpriced. I typically shop at Nordstrom Rack / the Goodwill inventory although upscale and nice is more dated and some "vintage" things. The assortment of bags is awesome. The shoe inventory wasn't great. A nice experience and the gentleman who helped me reach things was polite and professional. I may re-visit during the holidays.
The items seem to be high-quality, but the staff is very rude and act uppity like they work at a high-end exclusive store. The Lake Oswego version of this store has extremely nice staff that’s friendly to everybody.
I'm sure they have nice stuff but a $70 skirt from 3 seasons ago? I left after realizing all of their stuff is similarly priced
So Stupidly overpriced that it’s offensive. These are free, donated items. #Greed #Ick
