211 Forest Ave, Pacific Grove“This is my favorite ladies boutique on the Monterey Peninsula. Great brands of good quality merchandise. You’ll find unique items that national stores don’t carry.”
“Clothing that is beautifully-made, high-end and unique; a store you’d normally find in larger cities. Wonderful and warm customer service, as well! There’s really nothing in Nest that I don’t LOVE.”
“Great little shop run by a husband and wife team. The wife is an artist whose work hangs on the walls along with family members and other local artists. Lots of gift options and decor for the home. Commissions can be done as well. Beautiful shop with great people. They can ship anywhere as well.”
10AM - 5PM
198 Country Club Gate, Pacific Grove“This used to be my favorite thrift/charity store. Within the past few months, prices are much higher as they list items based on online comparison. Online prices are way overblown and 90% never sell for that higher price.
When shops do this on donated goods, it's a complete turn off. You make more money selling at affordable prices, move inventory much faster and get steady clientele.
Yes, you're donating for a good cause, but you're losing customers and even on the sale days or half off days, it's still too much.
Truly disappointed they got sucked into the Ebay price comparisons. All the shops around here are going in this direction, it's sad.”
“This is the kind of place you find and want to keep a secret because it's so so special. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by Golnesa, and made to feel welcome. She was always available if we had questions but didn't hover at all. Even if we hadn't found anything to buy, it would've been worth coming just for how fun it was to look at all the treasures and how relaxing it was to be in the shop. How many stores can you truly say that about nowadays? I found a beautiful Celine blouse for an amazing price that will be a staple in my closet forever. My boyfriend found an Italian suit, Armani pants, and wool suit jacket for a steal. This store had one of the best men's selections out of any consignment store I've been to. We live in the Bay Area but we're going to be making many trips here over the years :) thank you Golnesa, you are such a lovely human!”
“Marita is a most creative buyer. Her choices for her shop are unique, quality pieces of clothing that never go out of style because they don't slavishly follow the fads to begin with.”
