2 Time Couture

Great selection and even better prices! I was in town on business and in need of a quick outfit. This was the perfect spot. I wish I lived here so I could visit this shop more often!

I am a huge thrift and consignment store shopper. This is one of or the best consignment shop I have been in. Love! Had a wonderful experience at this little shop. Adorable boutique feel. Nice selection, great high quality items, reasonable prices. The sales associates working were so nice and friendly but not too pushy or nosy! I picked up two nice dresses and a top. Definitely check this place out!

I love this little shop. First of all it’s a consignment boutique with really good taste. Ok ok… I think it’s good taste but some might not agree! They have a great selection every time I come in, but super minimal inventory. It’s actually the perfect amount of clothing on their racks. You can pop in and look at everything in a few minutes. I personally love to rifle through the sale racks!
Only seasonally appropriate and very clean well cared for clothing to be found here. They also seem to actually rotate the inventory out to keep things fresh since it’s always something new and I go in maybe once a month or so. The prices are more than fair and I just love the location. I may or may not be a neighbor of theirs so again, possible bias! The only negative I can see is that they don’t really cater to any larger sized ladies so that might be problematic for some. Usually everything is around the size 4 – 8 mark.
P. s. Last time I visited there was even a cute friendly shop dog hanging out bonus!

i both buy and sell here about once a month. service is always super friendly, and they keep the store looking more like a boutique than a thrift/​consignment store. because inventory depends on who brings in what, the selection varies, and it tends to be hard to find smaller sizes (0, xxs, petite), so i usually gravitate towards shoes and bags. brands can include j. crew/​banana/​ann taylor, but sometimes they have higher end brands– today i saw coach bags, a gryphon trenchcoat, and several BCBG pieces. i’ve bought 2 pairs of toms shoes for $ 30 each (half off retail), but sometimes you can find nice stuff in the sale section.

Heard a lot about this place from a friend who would shop or consign here. I really enjoyed the shop. It was very well kept, nothing like a «secondhand» place. I was the only one in the store, and there was a nice sale going on. I was in the market specifically for grey heels. There were so many great deals on shoes and I asked the requirements to consign. I was given the «rules» and enjoyed visiting with the girl running the place. I actually think my stuff would consign better because it seemed that everything in the store was around the same size 4 – 8. Mix it up by bringing in other sizes than what’s there. Definitely will return.

Love this place. The girl who was working there when I went in (cant remember her name!) was a total sweetheart SO SO nice. They have all the great brands and fair prices too. WIll def be bak for more!

Stumbled into this place with my Breaking Bad obsessed sister on a cross-​country road trip, since it’s next to one of the locations where the show was filmed. Really glad we did. They have a great selection gently-​used designer items at really reasonable prices. The sales clerk was really sweet and helpful, too.

Good location and worth a visit if you’re brunching at The Grove. Fair prices, clean items, all designer labels. They have some very good clearance prices too. Sweet sales girl waited on us yesterday and was quite friendly.

I love, love, LOVE this boutique!!! Every time I visit Albuquerque I stop in and it is always full of clothes, accessories and shoes that I’m just dying to have. The staff has always been very friendly and I always walk out with a designer piece I love. It’s a great place to treasure hunt for quality items.

So I’ve purchased items from this store and have brought in consignment items as well. The general feel of the store is that they ONLY carry label items which is great. But what I don’t understand is the snotty attitude of their staff. What I really want to say to them is, you work at a consignment store that is one step up from Buffalo Exchange… you also live in Albuquerque. Be careful how your staff treats people, especially in this town where word of mouth is vital, or you will be out of business soon!

The staff is gorgeous and the shop is super men friendly with comfortable chairs and Sports Illustrated. And they had the Cookie Johnson jeans I was looking for.

This is one of my favorite stores. They always have great sales and cute clothes! The people are friendly and quite helpful too.

Yes, a great place to take your clothes for re-​sale, especially if you have a clothing addiction and need to turn over your styles every year. Quick payment, great accounting practices.

Because I love the Grove so much, I’m often in the Edo neighborhood, and today I decided to stop into 2 Time Couture. I had gone in once before when they first opened, and wasn’t too impressed… but I assumed that they were still finding their footing.
So I walked in today hoping to be won over and I was sorely disappointed. The first thing I was aware of was the salesperson giving me a once-​over, undoubtedly trying to calculate if I a) fit the couture profile, and b) could even fit into any of the clothes. I assume that I didn’t «fit» either criteria and she proceeded to ignore me the whole time. I absolutely hate being completely ignored after I’ve watched a salesperson blatantly give me the up and down. Yes, I’m wearing jeans, and yes, I may be of larger build, but that doesn’t mean that I wasn’t about to spend my money in your store. It seriously irks me.
Considering that the vast majority of their clothes are size Small, I wasn’t surprised that I didn’t find anything. The only organization they have in the store is based on color, and as far as I could tell, sizes were mixed (but I think I only saw one Large anything). If you happen to be a size 2, I imagine there are great deals here for you. The prices seemed to be fairly reasonable for the brands of clothes. After a few minutes of perusing, I gave up and left.
20 minutes later, my mother (who had been with me for breakfast and was also going to go check out 2 Time) called and shared her similar experience. However, her experience sounded even worse, because she tried to engage the salesperson by asking about the sizing and location of certain clothes. Far from helpful, the salesperson gave clipped responses and was overall very rude.
In this economy, I’m surprised by the lack of customer service at a store like 2 Time Couture. I can’t understand mistreating customers who are potentially willing to spend money at a store just because they don’t immediately fit a profile. Overall, I was very disappointed with my visit, and I wouldn’t recommend venturing into 2 Time Couture.

This is a small consignment boutique selling used women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories.
It deals primarily is designer labels and brands.
They have sales on goods that have been around too long.
It is hip and modern looking. Neat, tidy, and clean.
The neighborhood is somewhat seedy and grungy, but making a come back. Not a good place to hang around after dark though.
Day or night you can spot «working» girls still plying the world’s oldest profession along this section of Central Avenue. Good old historic Route 66 !!
The staff can somewhat moody so your treatment may vary depending on who is working and the phase of the moon.
