This is the best curated consignment store in Boston by far. Every time I go here I find unique designer pieces, and they are always in excellent condition, which is not always the case at some other consignment stores. Pricing is great. A must visit if you are on Newbury St!!!

Impeccable collection of quality designer clothes, but unfortunately not very size inclusive. Everything my mother and I looked at was all size 8 and under. I would consider consigning clothes that can fit size 10 and above! We like designer clothes too :)

Probably the best price to quality and most carefully curated selection that you can find in Boston! Have shopped here since 2018 and keep coming back each season to replenish my wardrobe with a gem or two. Not another run of the mill luxury brand consignment store but you can find tons of eclectic and more fun brands/designs!Cassie, Nina and Evan are all very nice and have a vast knowledge of fashion. They’re also always very helpful with providing honest opinions on fit, etc.

Nice place to shop for consigned clothing. The staff was friendly. However, the space is a little tight and the fitting area is in a very small space behind the counter which makes the fitting experience quite unpleasant.

I’ve found such great things here over the years…a Rag & Bone hat, Golden Goose sneakers, cashmere sweaters. I love the vibe and the service is always friendly. I make a point to visit whenever I’m in Boston.

While I admire and appreciate the carefully curated items, I found the staff who worked here to be extremely unpleasant (dismissive glances, fake quality to their speech, loud, complaining voices).It was disheartening to me that the staff attended to a older white woman (offering to carry her selected items to a dressing room), even though I’d been browsing for much longer and was also carrying a lot of clothes in my arms. I couldn’t help but feel invisible as a woman of color, and a pregnant one (in the third trimester) at that. I would have bought more items but couldn’t justify supporting discriminatory behavior.I don’t need to be doted on at all; but I do ask for kindness and equity, perhaps even inclusivity. I’ve worked in retail, customer service, and in many different sectors of business, and know it is possible.

I just popped in while on my visit to Boston. Wasn’t expecting to find such a cute spot. The owner was was so nice and I love the tunic I got. A real one of a kind find.

The well-curated selection, fun and pleasant interior, and warm yet non-overbearing customer service make for a delightful shopping experience. I visit Castanet every time I’m in Boston and it’s always a highlight of my trip. During my last visit, the owner made a couple of indirect comments indicating that she deeply values her consigners and treats them well. This makes me feel even better supporting this small business whenever I’m in town.Last weekend, I walked out with an armful of wonderful purchases including Frame leather shorts, an MZ Wallace crossbody travel bag, and a cashmere and lace sweater by Nina Ricci — all in beautiful condition.

Love this place! I've shopped here a couple times now to find special gifts for my wife. Each time I've been able to find just the right thing that really made her light up. :) The owner was very knowledgeable about fashion and trends which was a big plus since I know a lot less about these things. Selection is great and it's fun to dig around since there is such a variety. The vibe is cool too. I'll be back!

I had very wonderful and successful stop at Castanet during a weekend trip to Boston. I was looking for special items to give as Christmas presents for some female family members and Castanet did not disappoint! Clothes, shoes, and accessories available at Castanet are very well curated and has lots of variety to choose from. Carrying high-quality items from well-known luxury brands as well as from smaller boutique ones, I also found Castanet to be able to cater to different price points and budgets. During my shopping experience here, I felt no pressure (as I usually do when I'm shopping at other stores) while browsing through the various racks, shelves, and displays. I also felt very well attended to when I did ask the store owner some questions. I left very satisfied after purchasing a scarf, 3 bags, and a wallet that will be great presents for my sister, sister-in-law, and mom. I'm so happy that my visit at Castanet has successfully started my early (for me) Christmas shopping for this year. Castanet should definitely be a must-stop when visiting Boston!

What a treat! My daughter and I found Castanet entirely by mistake and each walked out with a few things. Clothing and shoes are in very good condition and there were no pulls or stains in ANY of the clothing.The people who work there are very friendly and have a very good eye for qualityl. If you've got a "thing" for designer shoes and handbags and love consignment shopping this is a must stop.
