Profile

Don’t let the funky green and gold paint job fool you: This East Village consignment shop is no polyester palace. Loyal customers come here to cruise the racks for gently-used designer apparel from Japanese labels like Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto, as well as from industry standard-bearers like Prada, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana. Sharp-eyed shoppers quickly scoop up high-end staples and accessories in luxe materials for a fraction of the retail price but pieces from upscale denim brands like Acne and Diesel, for instance, rarely break a Benjamin. Though roughly equal space is devoted to men’s and women’s wear, many coats and basic shirts are labeled “unisex.” A warning to those who like to try before they buy: There are no mirrors inside the dressing rooms, so shopping with a trusted friend is the way to go. — Alexis Korman

Just cuz a store wants to be considered "hip" doesn't mean the staff has to be so "holier than thou". And their requirements for having your wanting-to-be-consigned items "approved" by them is also a bit much. For a place that is supposed to be fashion-forward, I found their selection quite predictable. Whatever is deemed to be "in", that is all they will carry. There is nothing truly "original" there...it's only whatever is trendy at the moment. Being someone that loaths "trends", most of what they carry there is not for me. But it's perfect for EV/LES/Billyburg hipster types.

I am addicted to this store - almost every day after work i walk home and cannot resist - the stuff changes all the time, the prices are the best in town , jeans of all brands and colors - cheaper then INA - great japanese brands like undercover and comme as well as Dries, Dior, prada, chloe , MJ. LV, Gucci, todd's, Y3, shoes , coats, clothing, bags, wallets!!!!..PLUS suff sometimes is new or off the runway ( shoe bottoms cut for catwalk) looove it!!!! great for mens too! all the stime a stock of comme, yamamoto coats, shoes and jeans the staff makes it a VERY Authentic Tokyo shop ( been there, I know) - few words , keep it to themselves, unless you speak japanese there's no danger of hearing "can I help you" but I got used to it and I like to take my time. For extra shopping , keep walking down the street and Amarcord has great vintage to go with your "almost" new stuff!
