My Sister’s Closet

Love that my sister’s closet is right downtown and I can drop in and see what they have every time I walk past. Awesome business model, it always feels great to support them.

Meh. Consignment stores are always a crapshoot and I didn’t see too many interesting finds. Maybe on another day I’d find more. Worthy cause nets 4 stars.

I was so happy to find two articles of clothing for my son. I am used to shopping in thrift stores, but this one had very high quality pieces that were reasonably priced. I especially appreciated the volunteer sales lady who offered her advice on what a teenager would like. The sales staff were very friendly and nice.

I wasn’t sure if this was a thrift store or a consignment store, because it supports a charity, but it also doesn’t stock any crap.
It turned out to be a thrift store.
They have slightly less than consignment store prices (so more than Sally Ann) but the trade off is everything in here is good. It’s well curated. They even have a great selection of designer goods.
The five dollar rack out front usually has a gym or two on it as well.
This is the first place I check when I need clothes. I even bought my wedding dress here.
The staff here are volunteers and the proceeds go to battered women’s support services. What’s not to love?

Well-​organized and adorable shop. There was a sign that said all proceeds go to help battered women, which is why I entered.
As with many thrift stores, it smells of smoke.
There are some nice pieces, some well-​maintained and some not. The prices are high for a thrift store, but I figured that it was for a good cause. I’d rather buy a 20 dollar shirt here than the same shirt at a store that doesn’t give profits to a charity.

Such a cute little shop! They have a good selection of different styles of clothing for very reasonable prices. I found a crinoline skirt here for $ 16 after looking at so many other places (including thrift) for no less than $ 50. Their clothing is great quality with a lot of name brands, there are a lot of dressy shoes and jewelry. My only regret is that I didn’t find more (as thrift stores go). I’ll be back the next time I’m in the area. And yes, they do a lot of work with women’s shelters and charities which is a fantastic bonus.

I went to this cute little shop for the very first time and got some great finds.
The only downside is I found the owner to be not welcoming what so ever. I had several items in my arms and she walked by me four times without offering to start me a change room, and I was the only patron in the store. When I did ask for a room, she look annoyed. Did not ask me how things went, didn’t ask to help me with anything… super disappointing for a small local shop that supports battered women. The other lady at checkout with shorter brown hair was very nice, but still left a bad taste in my mouth about the costumer service aspect.

Very organized used consignment store. Lots to look at with good quality items. I didn’t find anything specific, however, I found some stuff that my friends who wear certain items would appreciate. The customer service was decent, however, there was a coldness that I couldn’t put my finger on. Prices very, however, very attainable. The clothes don’t even look worn which is a huge plus. On the plus side All the proceeds go to help battered women and they accept gently used high quality donations. I have a few name brand clothes that I will donate the next time I am in the hood that I outgrew thanks to losing some weight over the years. I am hoping that my labeled nice clothes will not only be loved by someone else as by me but go toward a great cause as well.

This store is very small but has nice selections!

Wow, what a great store!
So much selection and the prices are amazing.
I found 7 pieces for $ 160:
— ruffled skirt and matching top
— winter coat and scarf
— funky bag
— pants and sparkly blazer
I’m so happy!

What a wonderful little shop. All the proceeds go to help battered women and they have a decent selection of shoes, jewelry and clothes.
My friend got a cute leather jacket for 35 bucks and my sister picked up a pair of Michael Kors leather boots for 50 dollars and a new Aritizia winter jacket for 80 dollars.
I will be returning with a bag of my gently used clothing to donate. Check this store out!!!

I really like this shop — good selection with some excellent finds, including a gorgeous brown suede coat for $ 20 — small line of ballpoint ink in an inconspicuous spot, but I only wanted it for daily wear so now I don’t have to worry about staining it myself! I adore that the money I spend here goes to support a truly worthy cause: support services for our sisters who desperately need a helping hand to get started again, free from abusive situations. I have gathered up a couple of bags of my outgrown clothing (my diet worked!) to donate here — once I get it all to the laundromat, that is. The staff are friendly and helpful, and there is a mothers’ swap table for baby & kid clothes. There are also some great shoes & boots, and a men’s section.

First of all My Sister’s Closet is a bit pricey. But the quality and the brands they offer are worth it. I manged to get a Le Château dress for $ 26 and a Talula Gina Skirt for $ 18. The store is very organized and the staff are really friendly. Plus there’s no tax added on to your purchase and proceed got to the Battered Women’s Support Service. :]

What an awesome, cute little boutique consignment store! I found some adorable pointy toe shoes in a light teal colour for only $ 18! And they don’t even look worn! Also saw an adorable blue hand bag for $ 16, but I had just bought a new handbag of the same colour so i didn’t get it. I would totally come back. It’s in a very unsuspecting spot (IMHO), and we just happened to stumble upon it. But great discovery indeed!

My Sister’s Closet is more than just a thrift shop. They carry high end stuff and get donations from stores and companies like Aristia all the like. The ladies there are friendly, the staff clearly works hard. Everything is priced fairly reasonable considering it’s a more high end place. The best thing though, is that 100% of the money you spend goes to Battered Women’s Support Services aaand there’s nooo tax.

This boutique thrift shop is among the top of my fave retail therapy spots. They carry high end donated clothing (often with the original tags still on) and sell it for a fair price. Cheaper than VV and the quality is much higher. When I was in there today I noticed a lot more new locally-​designed items for sale at full price. While I liked the new designs I was not in the mindframe to drop $ 70 on a belt (as beautiful as it is) and felt like there was less of the thrift stock to look through. Since I come here primarily in search of cheap but high quality clothing, it’s naturally what I look for first! I noticed that their awning and branding has changed a bit though, so I’m guessing that the store is going more high end, and that’s ok! I just have to get used to it. Still a great shop and worth a look, especially for women’s jeans! I bought a brand new pair of jeans with the $ 100 tags still on for $ 20. So freakin’ sweet.
Love this place. Don’t take all the good stuff, K? There’s a redhead who will hunt you down and sneak off with your shopping bags! So I hear anyway… ;)

My Sister’s Closet on Seymour is the sister store for the charity, consignment shop that helps battered women of all ethnic backgrounds start over. The clothes are actually mostly designer and are donated by local shops, they’re just last season or overstock. I bought a BCBG suit jacket that was brand new and originally $ 300 for $ 22! Portia is one of the volunteer coordinators and has the best heart. She is super cool and helpful when it comes to selecting clothes. They also carry a great selection of men’s clothing and have a range of sizes available.
