Diva Designer Consignment

I’ve been here several times during different seasons throughout the year. My first visit (years ago) was the most successful, as I was able to purchase a great sweater dress and black short sleeved shirt. The prices were really great, and I still wear these pieces today.
Whenever I’m in the area, I always feel the need to stop by. Unfortunately, I haven’t purchased anything since that first visit. I’m not sure if it’s because the prices seem higher or if the inventory just doesn’t suit my needs/​wants anymore. Well, I think the jewelry is overpriced. The clothing can be nice, but I haven’t seen something where I think «oh man, if that were cheaper and in my size, I would get it» — so I guess the style of the store doesn’t fit me anymore.
Bottom line: because it’s consignment, feel free to check it out. I think it’s more miss than hit though.

I love Diva Consignment so much! I go back about every 2 months, and I always find something beautiful. I love the owner, Cindy, as well, for she is so personable and stylish. I highly recommend this store if you have not visited yet… a hidden gem off the beaten path of King St.

Most consignment shops are hit or miss, but I always get a hit when I go in here! I’ve gotten lilly dresses for $ 40 and a pair of barely Jack Rogers for $ 25 — can’t beat that!

I absolutely love this store and the proprietor has done a fantastic job of making this place look like an upscale, Rodeo Drive boutique. The prices are quite fair, the quality is excellent and the look of the store absolutely says «Diva» (in a good way, not that screaming Mimi Mariah Carey sort of way).
I purchased a jacket for my wife from there, having gone in with no intent on finding anything. I don’t recall if there are 3 or 4 levels but regardless, each floor is set up with a theme and purpose. It’s not crowded or obtrusive and the artwork is as tasteful as the owner and the products. I’ve communicated with the owner since, asking her to let me know if certain items or designer names come in.
VERY well done!

Hmm, I don’t know how to say this but this place really isn’t what I thought it was. I imagined MODERN, perhaps a few designer trades pieces. I certainly didn’t see the brands mentioned in these posts (jcrew, 7 jeans, Missoni). What I found was a bunch of old 80s looking clothes. Out of style. The jewelry was meh. Everything was kind of meh. No trendy jackets or coats. Again, perhaps there’s a different client for this kind of store but for younger women who like to stay up with the trends (and covet a few designer pieces here and there), this is not your gig.

They definitely had some cute clothes here including a pair of Elie Tahari pants for only $ 20 and a gorg Valentino full length coat for $ 400. But the prices weren’t always rational. I found a purple J. Crew shift dress for $ 70 and then a Sisley sweater for only $ 20. How is a J. Crew item more expensive than a Sisley one? Nonetheless it’s a cute store and definitely worth taking a look t.

This stories the cutest!!! I would definitely have to say this is another one of my favorite consignment stores in the area! I love the bins they put out with items that are on sale like 2 $ bins !! They carry high end items and are usually at a re seasonable price ! Would definitely recommend this store to anyone.

So I have been coming here for 6 years and love the gems that I have picked up along the way! Some vintage, some new, always something funky. You never what is going to be in store, but sure to walk out with something special.
Cindy — the owner is awesome and totally customer service focused. She is very approachable and works with you.
The store is much larger than it appears (3 floors) — so don’t forget to check out the clearance in the basement!

This is my new favorite place to buy clothes! The selection was great. They had a $ 2 bin and a ½ everything else sale today. The two associates there were very friendly and delightful, unlike some other upscale consignment shops in Old Town. I feel like this is the best of two worlds, great clothes and pleasant people working there! There was a problem with my transaction (I was using the last of a generic Visa gift card) and wanted to put the rest on my cc. Instead of getting frustrated after a couple of tries, she just told me it was fine, probably saving me another $ 15. Great experience here!

Adorable little store! I love consignment and thrift stores, and am usually turned off by the price tags on designer consignment stores. However, this place does indeed have affordable (even designer) clothes!

I love this shop in all of Alexandria! I found some amazing designer items such as Etro, Missoni for a good price. You do have to take the time to look as with any consignment shop. They have 3 floors of goodies. Will definitely be back and recommend to others.

Three floors of absolute of lovliness, this place is a must for anyone looking to update their closet on a budget. Not the greatest selection of handbags, but their outerwear and shoe selection were on point. With a sales section in the basement, individuals of all income levels can find something in this place. Store also had a decent selection of jewelry and the owner is AMAZINGLY chic! Definitely stopping by when I’m in the DC area.

The most competitively priced consignment shop I came across during my recent trip to Alexandria. Scored a Kate Spade bag for $ 18 (they were having a 40% off sale). Definitely would visit again when I am in the area.

This is such a great consignment shop. At first I thought it looked too small to really be worth it, but then I realized that it’s actually pretty huge! The store is merchandised in a quaint and charming way, with some of the upstairs closets filled with clothing to browse through, almost like a house. A house filled with clothing.
I spent a ton of time in here; fortunately there are chairs and some magazines, so my boyfriend had fun too. I was truly impressed by the well-​roundedness of the shop — there were dresses, tops, bottoms, suits, jeans, coats, shoes — basically every kind of clothing was represented. You could easily shop here as a primary destination, really.
I ended up finding a Ben Sherman skirt and a Brooks Brothers sweater for under $ 50 combined. These are way better prices than you find in NYC consignment shops. There were higher-​end items and lower-​end items to choose from, all at varying price points. I could have spent a lot longer in this store, really, and if I lived in the area I’d probably stop in every month or so just to see what was new.

I came here to shop, using my Groupon. All in all, I liked it. The décor is very cute. When I first walked into the rowhouse, I was horrified to see one room and maybe a back room with mostly jewelry and few clothes. Once I ventured inside, I was delighted to find that there was more to choose from downstairs in the sale room or upstairs where the shoes and more-​upscale brands were!
Luckily I came here on a weekend where everything but jewelry was 50% off. I was hoping to find some awesome steal, like a Marc Jacobs item on sale for $ 50, but alas that was just a dream. When you go here, don’t search for brand, just search for what you think looks good. I do think the jewelry is overpriced, but it isn’t clear to me if some of the items are consignment or if she sells some that is not pre-​owned.
I would go back, but I would also investigate other consignment stores in the area.

When my boss announced that our office was revising its dress code, I looked down at my jeans and knew I was in trouble. That’s how I ended up in Diva Consignment – I figured they must have a couple of pantsuits, or at least a blazer.
First up: the store is very put together and very, very pink. I did not know it was possible to cram neatly, but Diva has managed to organize racks upon racks of gently used clothes in a narrow, three story row house. The clothes themselves are somewhere between reserved, contemporary and matronly – nothing too avant garde. Every item is in perfect condition.
I found a trendy BCBG blazer for $ 25 in the basement, and a couple of suits in the $ 75 – 125 range on the top floor. I didn’t even bother with the suits – I could buy a new, designer suit from ideeli for that kind of money. The blazer, though, I would’ve worn straight out of the store had it been a size smaller. But that was the smallest size they had! ‘Diva’ must be one of those big boned opera singers or yore, because this boutique is not petite people friendly.
Verdict: a little pricey; not your shop if you’re looking for something specific.

Since they have a «man» chair, complete with car magazines, you pretty much know that my kind ain’t welcome ’round these parts. It is Diva, after all, and not Divo. Sorry, bros. :shrug it out:
Located near the intersection of King and Pitt, it’s in a good spot. I was told the clothes were a bit on the pricey side, but I can’t say that I’m surprised, considering it’s Old Town. As a man, would I buy the honey anything from here? I guess. It has a lot of shiny objects… and shoes. Three stories worth. Other reviewers have mentioned a sales rack. Yeah, I wouldn’t know– I didn’t budge from my man chair the whole time I was here.

Three floors of awesome consignment clothing AND a sales rack?! SWEET!
So we stopped by after wandering around Old Town. I was impressed with the selection. They had everything from Banana Republic to St. John. If you can wear it or accessorize it, they probably have it there.
The store is actually in a converted row home so its got a very homey feel. Space is kind of tight so when it is crowded its hard make your way around. The dressing room is on the top floor, but only one of them works. The other has a broken rail that kept falling on me.
I ended up walking out of there with 2 tops for about $ 45. One of them was a Banana Republic blouse for work and the other was «going out» clubbing top from Micheal Kors. Not too bad.
Will be stopping by again the next time I’m in Old Town.

This boutique is one of the most kitsy and charming boutiques I have ever been to, from head to toe its screams Viva La Francias and has a really nice intimate feeling of being in someones house because it is this adorable colonial house in the heart of Alexandria.
Tons of design clothing at reasonable prices, I was able to score a beautiful purple sheer Calvin Kline shirt for $ 40 and this amazing chandelier like necklace for $ 40. The jewelry here is really the «stand out» though its very unique and has the original antique charm that you don’t see in most boutique and consignment shops.
As with other Unilocalers I found the manager to be a pleasant breathe of fresh air and clearly so happy to have this shop, it was contagious! I want one of these when I grow up :)

I’ve had lots of experience with consignment over the years and I’m very familiar with the processes and the intake. I think Diva is a great Boutique, and I cannot say that I had any extreme issues with the management or staff.
Because I was consigning with them, I visited the website several times and made myself familiar with what they do or do not consign. I also called the shop several times and became familiar with the staff. (That may have made a difference on how I was received.)
The store was immaculately clean, as I expected it to be, and stuffed to the hilt with goods. Perhaps too stuffed. I kept knocking into a few things as I turned around and around.
There were familiar labels like Banana and Gap and many designer labels. Nothing really knocked me off my rocker, except a purse that will go unnamed.
Everything was priced, about as I expected it to be — kinda high. But, that’s a good thing when it comes to my consignments. The higher the prices, the higher the returns. And because of the quality of the goods that Diva accepts, then, I’m sure my stuff will move.
There are several rooms with exquisite goods. Something for everyone — shoes, dresses, outwear, jewelry. And the Cellar is where goods that are really trying to be moved out are housed. I found my favorite deals in the cellar. A little dusty, but worth the trip downstairs.
All in all, I had a very good experience with Diva from doing my due diligence on the Boutique ahead of time. I hope that the good experience continues as my consignments sell. If anything changes, I’ll let you know.
