Beautiful wedding gowns for very reasonable prices. The staff is always so helpful and informative. All around, the store is very clean, organized and has an awesome selection. We highly recommend Champagne Taste!!

Review as a shopper - huge consignment store. I was visiting Kirkland and wish I lived on the East side so I could visit more often. Organization is by color for most items except wedding/prom dresses. I found 5 items - worn 4/5 items. Items are higher end and many items are new/like new - so not the cheapest resale, but reasonable for quality. Ideally it would be great to shop by size and then color so I could go in /out and see what is new quickly.

I used to be a patron of this store, and had bought a number of things from her. However, after my latest encounter with the owner, I have no interest in spending any of my money here. After recommending friends to buy wedding dresses & prom dresses here. I have never been treated so disrespectfully. Having worked with the private seamstress that is often recommended by this store. I lost her number when I changed phones and had decided to pop into the store to get that number again. Upon kindly asking the owner she refused to give it to me unless I bought something from her. Even though; I've previously purchased from her before. I said okay, I understand. It was definitely offensive and off putting, but it was what it was. However, I noticed she gave it to the lady who was leaving the store. So once outside I asked her for if it would be alright if she gave it to me and she was like of course. As she was doing that the owner literally CHASED outside to catch up with us and yell at her and I not to give it to me. It was incredibly uncomfortable and unhinged. It caught me off guard and kind of scared me because I can't imagine why it would be such an issue to put be back in contact with the seamstress. Especially, enough to chase someone outside. I remember the seamstress who I really got along with, told me to give her a call if I never needed any future projects. I will also note that the seamstress is not even an employee of this store. She is her own private business. I have never been treated so aggressively. I will never come here again. My friend who was with me was left in shock and disbelief at the unwarranted rage. I'm grateful to now know how this owner conducts business, so I never recommend or give her another dime.

Very difficult to work with when trying to consign clothing. Terrible customer service and make you feel like they are doing you a favor and it's a nusance for them to take your clothes. Have tried to take in high end dresses and shoes. Not old used items you would just donate if they didn't take them. Their staff is always very rude. There are two other consignment shops on the same street go there in stead.

It's really hard to rate this store. Their prices sometimes seem reasonable for consignment and at other times just absurdly over priced. It's really hot and miss. This is referring to the non-wedding dress or formal wear section of the store.

I have consigned/shopped at Champagne Taste since the 90s. Always had a wonderful experience. Took a huge haul in to the store to be sold before Covid. Went back when the store was re-opened and was told it had been too long to receive any payment & that all of my items had been donated. When I took my clothing & accessories in to the store it was such a large drop off, the owner said that she would put it out seasonally. It was the worst feeling. Owner did not care in the least. Extremely disappointed and was treated so poorly. Just want to make people aware. I would hate this to happen to anyone else!

Champagne taste is amazing. My wife went on a shopping spree including Fur coat, Christian Louboutin shoes, multiple dresses, vest, ear rings, and many more. All the items are in great shape for a fraction of MSRP. Thank you for this store!

The rudeness of the staff was so off putting I will likely never go back. Stopped by at 2:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday to ask about selling in their store, despite being the only person in the establishment the clerk acted as though it was annoying to even answer a question. Getting more than "yes we do consignment" was difficult, after a few minutes of trying to get answers and asking if I could bring my clothing items in to be looked at she told me no we only do that by appointment, I said okay can I make an appointment and she snapped back at me that she didn't have any available, I then asked when her next appointment would be and was told "I don't have any in the next month" ... not an answer to the question but thanks for the bad taste in my mouth, I'll take my business else where. I'd avoid this store unless you want to be treated as though you distrusting the clerks cell phone time.

Got lots of great help from Tami. The shop has a ton of amazing clothes at a really great price. I needed a formal gown and found the perfect one. Will be back for casual styles.

I'm starting with the obvious first. This is a consignment store. Rather you are a buyer or a seller, you need to remember this is a business trying to make a profit. I have sold and purchased from here. If you're a buyer: This store typically starts at 50% off retail, higher discount for some higher end brands. It's easy enough to look around and find good bargains that are additionally marked down, yielding easily 75% off. Obviously, inventory is quite random and all sales are final. Be sure to double check everything is clean and nothing broken. The owner, Tami, tries hard to avoid damaged goods in the store. Champagne Taste is most famous for dresses, everything from bridal gowns, formal wear, and casual dresses. Because Kirkland is a relatively well off neighborhood, you are very likely to find luxury brands, such as Escada, Gucci, and the like. You'll also find affordable brands like Loft and H&M, and brands in between such as Michael Kors. I often find shopping here like looking for Easter eggs, sometimes those eggs are golden. ;) If you're a seller: Tami, the owner, spells out the rules at the start via the contract. You must oblige by them. It is YOUR job, not the store's job, to pay attention to your pickup schedule (checks and clothing) which is once every two months. Always ask when she'll cycle out warm vs. cold weather clothing so you can pickup your clothing -- IF, you want them back. An important note, shoes are NOT returned. If you want them back, bring less, bring higher end shoes, and ask about them regularly. Be realistic about what money you expect to receive. Think about the discounts offered to make a sale mentioned above and the cut the store takes. Even going in conscientiously, it still has a pennies on the dollar feeling, but I remind myself that is the business they are in and the numbers are legitimate.

I've been here a few times! Wish I discovered it sooner. Bought all 3 dresses for under $100. The owner is very sweet & helpful. Brought my 2 toddlers and they were crazy but the owner was very patient & kind with them. Definitely recommend!!!
