“They have an entire floor downstairs dedicated to upscale furniture and housewares. Designer clothing upstairs and reasonable price. Just don't expect thrift store prices.”
“I had SUCH a wonderful experience at Fairytale Brides! Missy was absolutely amazing-- she really listened to what I was looking for and helped me find the PERFECT dress! She was so knowledgable, helpful, and patient and really gave her honest opinion. This is a great place to shop for a wedding dress and it is so much more meaningful knowing that it is run by volunteers and proceeds are donated to charity!”
“These guys have a well organized operation. They make it easy to contribute and automate the getting paid part. They have a lovely store with attractive merch. They will do well for the community and beyond.”
“I recently moved to the area and received a watch as a birthday gift that needed an adjustment. After finding Rubini Jewelers online, I decided to stop by. The staff was incredibly helpful and not only fixed my watch quickly but also polished my chain necklaces for free! The next day, I realized the watch still needed a slight adjustment, and they took care of it without hesitation and at no additional charge. I am so impressed with the service and attention to detail at Rubini Jewelers, and I will definitely be a returning customer for all my jewelry needs. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional service and quality jewelry!!”
“They have sorted and curated only the best items to resale, so this isn’t your ordinary shop, and the prices show. If you want 1/2 price designer duds, pop in here before you bother with the mall, especially if you are small. Not many XLs.”
“I love this consignment shop and have bought several items from here. They have best quality consignment clothing, and shoes in the entire DMV area.
Plus, Jennifer knows fashion and designers, treats her customers really well, doesn't discriminate, and has a positive attitude.”
“The volunteers are so sweet and helpful. There are so many treasures to be found. Everything I purchased was lovely. I was so impressed I decided to become a volunteer in the store.”

2405 18th St NW, Washington“We've been to this merchant a few times. I have a differentability (thank you to my little great niece for changing my perspective ?) and I some times require an aide for walking.My husband and I found some beautiful hand carved canes here and at very reasonable prices. We receive constant compliments going through the airport home and even more when I use them as a walking aide.Purchased hand made leather shoes from here and my son was elated with his gift ?.The staff is always very friendly and you can meet some very interesting people here as well. The store has two levels so don't miss going upstairs. There is definitely a lot to see ? so plan on spending some time to find your treasure.With all that said a little more organization would be nice so you can better see the selection and they have cats all over the place which I was not a fan of. However, my family and I visit here pretty much every time we're in the area and we look forward to viewing their new offerings.Check them out! Hopefully you'll find something interesting of your own in your visit.”

1530 U St NW, Washington“Not going to lie, the clothes are overpriced for the most part. I think the price on the sweater I got was fine, but most of their shirts were the same price. The sweater I found is super comfortable and gets my partner a lot of compliments!”
11AM - 5PM
3231 P St NW, Washington“D.C.'s gem for designer finds! Ella Rue offers amazing, high-quality pieces and the owners/ staff are welcoming and make you feel at home. My favorite stop in DC; you won't regret the visit!”
“This is a sweet little clothing and accessories store in the heart of Falls Church City. The selection is thoughtfully curated with popular premium brands, like Hannah Andersson. It's definitely a place to find nice, gently used clothes, especially for a young girl in your life. I'm a big believer in reducing waste and reusing items, so I'm glad to shop secondhand. Thrift stores can be super hit or miss when it comes to finding what you want. That's the upside of a store like this--instead of hunting through tons of random things, they've already vetted the selections.”
“Best vintage shop ever! Mercedes is my favorite! She has such a good eye, so her collection is always amazing, and she is fantastic at picking pieces for you that you wouldn’t normally choose but that then become your favorite. I have been blessed to experience this phenomenon many times with Mercedes! She is also just so kind and lovely to chat with. She and her shop are true gems. ?”
“The ladies are super helpful and friendly. They carry a nice array of sizes and as a larger than average woman finding things that are cute and unique and not just big is rare in the nicer shops so this one gets a 10/10”
“I always find a special piece or 5 .They are selective but curate a nice collection. They have a rack dedicated to fitness clothing which is mostly filled with Lulu. Denim selection is solid as well. The place is small but a gem.”

122 S Royal St, Alexandria“I've been buying my boys' clothes from 529 Kids Consign for the past 10 years. I started off buying online on their Instagram and have been amazed at the high quality, name brand items that I can get for a great price, plus love the environmental impact of buying secondhand. The owner, Megan Podolsky only accepts the best stuff, so the shoes and clothes you purchase at her store are in pristine quality and recent styles. As a #boymom and experienced corporate retail veteran, Megan knows how the market for boys' clothes is often overlooked and her carefully curated selection from top consignors with style allows me to keep my boys dressed in the brands like Burberry, Boden, Tea, Vineyard Vines, Hunter, Native and Sperry. I love the selection of dress shoes, winter boots, and water shoes. This store also has cute new items that I often buy for kids' birthday parties, holiday gifts or baby gifts. When I was pregnant and nursing, this was the place to get a professional work wardrobe that was functional and comfortable, but also stylish. Not only does the owner know her customers by name, but she is the best at recommending other small, local businesses and supporting other entrepreneurs. It's no easy feat managing multiple small businesses in a pandemic and tough economy. Definitely recommend following on Instagram--they can ship to you or hold for pickup pending payment.”
“I have only had positive experiences here. The volunteers who've helped me have been lovely, interesting women. The inventory is pretty incredible, mostly jewelry and home wears. Many things will be listed well under market. To me, it's been a treasure and hope others have good experiences, too.”

4830 MacArthur Blvd NW #2, Washington“Great selection and very nice owner/staff. My aunt and I had a great time shopping around and looking at all the unique, classic pieces. Highly recommend for evening wear, chic work attire and timeless coats and jackets.”
“Love this neighborhood gem ! Easy process to donate / sell gently used clothes and either redeem for cash back or store credit . Every time I’m gone to donate clothes I end up purchasing new brand name goodies ! Great way to refresh your wardrobe :)”
“I popped in this cute little shop over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised when I saw the vast selection of vintage pieces. I fell in love with a Japanese robe and the ladies were extremely helpful, even when I said I would return at a later date to buy it. But I just could not leave it there. I rushed back to make the purchase, and the ladies informed me that they were running a sale on florals. SOLD!! They even offered alterations if the robe fell too long on me...I am so short...but it fit perfectly. Thank you so much ladies for all your help and enthusiasm! I will be returning soon.”
“Great selection of kids' books, toys and clothing, all in excellent condition. It's clear that a lot of care goes into curating the items. The prices are fair too.”

134 Church St NW, Vienna“If I could give this place 100 stars I would! ❤️ Cannot recommend Wardrobe Rescue enough. Have been shopping and consigning here for years. Whether you are looking for brand new, vintage, classic, or rare pieces Wardrobe Rescue is the best place to go for all your designer and high end needs. Not only does the staff always make me feel welcomed and taken care of, but this place also has some of the most beautiful one of a kind bags, shoes, and clothing ive collected to date. If you are going to buy designer pieces spend your money here with this local business that cares about its customers instead of a big corporation that is just trying to make their next billion.”
“I love this Consignment shop! It has clean, pressed clothes. The store is welcoming. The staff are really helpful! The clothes are well curated, with a great selection of sizes and styles. I particularly like the fact that you do not need an appointment to drop off consignments!”
“Haven’t sold here yet but the customer service was outstanding on the phone! Very impressed; it’s a rarity nowadays to have someone that polite and patient to deal with in a retail situation!”

Went by today during the week and I guess they need to update their times because they were not open at 12 30 on a Tuesday - edited: well now I feel silly - I will have to check out their new location”
