Clotheshorse

Many better shops in town.

About a year ago, I bought four items at Clotheshorse: a pair of cowboy boots, a top, a pair of jeans, and a sundress. I was kind of in a rush when I went in because we were going to a concert that night, so I didn’t get on my phone and research the stuff I was purchasing. Most of the stuff in the shop was NOT designer, but from mall stores like Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Abercrombie etc. Which I suppose one would expect for that neighborhood; it’s not like Highlands Mommies wear Tom Ford! As other reviewers have mentioned, the owner was really nice and helpful.
Anyway, the top and jeans were ok. Definitely priced higher than I usually like to pay at a consignment shop, but they were nice items that I still wear and enjoy. Once I got the boots home, and I looked carefully at them in natural light, I realized they were much more badly damaged than I realized when looking at them in the incandescent light in the store. They were really overpriced for being basically trashed. I ended up giving them to a friend. The worst was the sundress. The first (and only) time I wore it, both spaghetti straps broke. The tag in the dress said «Forever». I’m dating myself here, but back in my day we didn’t have Forever 21, we had Contempo. So I had no idea that the «Forever» on the tag meant Forever 21. Basically, Clotheshorse charged me $ 20 for a cheap used dress that was probably $ 15 new at Forever 21. I know some of you will say «buyer beware», but the whole point of going to a consignment shop and paying ten times the price of a thrift store is that the items are supposed to be curated.
You shouldn’t go home from a consignment shop and immediately have buyer’s remorse because half the items you bought were overpriced trash. You should be thrilled with the great designer items you got for a steal. That’s the whole point of consignment shops! Even though the owner was nice, I can’t recommend Clotheshorse.

I’ve had good luck finding great gently used items at this store. My favorite Christmas party dress with an Anne Taylor label was found here at a cool $ 25. Items aren’t generally cheap but are well selected and if you are looking for a few nice pieces for work or for dressy occasions, you’ll probably find something.
Prices are staggered over time — the longer an item has been in the shop, the lower the price. If you are an unusual size like me you might be able to use this to your advantage if you wait long enough (muahahahaha). Awesome pieces in common sizes disappear quickly.

Very nice consignment shop. Everything was very clean. Owner was there and very helpful. We had no trouble finding street parking.

I love this place! I haven’t consigned (yet), but have shopped, and have gotten really cute, NICE, things, good brands, for relatively cheap. Better than any consignment places that I have ever been, plus, great location on Tennyson. And the owner (and her sister) are both super nice, and super friendly!

I have both consigned here, as well as, shopped here. As far as pricing, selection and quality goes, its right in line with other consignment shops in NW Denver — where I have also both consigned and shopped. I can’t go in here without finding something; I am in love with a pair of red shoes, a striped jacket and a necklace I recently scored here.
As far as the owner goes, she is head and shoulders above her competitor consignment-​shop proprietoresses in NW Denver. She is kind, honest and patient. The shop is cute, too. This is why I keep coming popping in again and again.
(Hey! All 5 filtered reviews gave this a ‘5 star’ rating.)

I would rate this higher for the shop owner (who is super great) but for the selection and prices I cant.
I did find a nice purse and a cute jacket, but most anything else was either wayyyyyy to small or wayyyyy to big. I know this is the consignees not the shop owner so I am not blaming her, just saying.
They do have a graduating price that goes down the longer an item is in the store so you can find a good deal if you find your size.
Maybe I was in on an off time and all the good stuff in my size was snatched up?

I have both consigned and bought here and had an overall good experience. The owner is very friendly and very willing to help. I was a little bummed at some of the pricing of my items, but I sold almost all my items, and my check arrived promptly in the time frame they told me.
I’ve browsed as a consumer, and the clothes are cute and in great condition. So, from both perspectives – as consignor and consumer – I can recommend Clotheshorse and will return.

If you consign items regularly then Clotheshorse is a valuable place to go. Although you must make an appointment to bring items in and must often wait several weeks for an open spot, the payoff is worth it.
I have taken dozens of items in and have had wonderful luck selling them. Their percentage of the sale is quite reasonable and they are extremely friendly during the whole process.
I consigned many items I had worn in an office job I recently left for grad school. While much of their stock is too upscale for me these days, anyone with an 8 to 5 professional gig will find much to love here. You should watch for their clearance sales as well.

Unilocal is about personal reviews so although I really enjoyed the owner — the shop just really wasn’t my style.
It seemed to be a good fit for an older crowd and mostly more conservative tops and dresses. The clothes themselves are good quality, but I couldn’t find anything larger than a size 14 and the XL’s were what most other stores would consider L.
I probably won’t be back, but glad I went and checked it out.

Clotheshorse is fantastic. They are one of the few consignment stores that bother with clothing appropriate for all ages. The sisters that run the shop are super picky about what they take in, and it shows. The merchandise is top-​quality, and more often than not you can’t believe it was ever worn. Don’t miss the shoes or the jewelry, though I doubt you could, they have so much of it.

The lovely sisters who run this charming, cozy little consignment shop are probably sick of seeing me in there, but they are consistently friendly and helpful whenever I go in. This is a great place to shop for work clothes and play clothes, and I always end up leaving with way more than I went in looking for. The shop is run very professionally and everything they sell is clean and pressed. They also have a large selection of shoes and accessories, which is always fun.
My only gripes (and they’re small) are that sometimes the styles are a little old for my taste (although I think they do work hard to provide variety for ladies in their 20’s through their 60’s); also, the dressing rooms leave something to be desired — they’re separated by sheets, and the other day I accidentally bumped butts through the «door» with another lady who was trying stuff on.
Overall, though, the prices are reasonable, they have GREAT sales (sign up for their mailing list and get an invite to their 75% off sales), and they’re awesome saleswomen — but they won’t try to sell you on something your a$$ looks fat in, which I always appreciate.

I visited this shop a few times just browsing on Tennyson Street since I live a few blocks away, and the sisters who own the place are friendly and very fun to chat with. I take my mom here when she comes to visit and she loves it too. I recently started dropping off clothes for consignment here and have been happy with the process… and making a few bucks at the same time! You can’t bring your clothes wrinkled up and piled in a bag so there is slightly more effort here than Buffalo Exchange, but because the clothes look nicer on the hangers, they can charge more and I get more $ back. Perfect for unloading nicer clothes or professional work wear. Great shop with clothes up and down the gamut of designers. Quite a bit of high-​end stuff. Prices drop on a ladder scale based on length in the store, so you can find deals if you’re patient :)
