Pennywise Consignment Shop

Couple years ago I was driving home from somewhere decided to detour into mystic found this cute little shop and purchased some treasures. This weekend while on a trip with my husband again we stopped at the shop. I was so excited to show him the store I had raved about. Unfortunately, I feel the quality of the shop is no longer there. We purchased several items, which I thought I had checked, but I guess not Goodnuf. My husband or a pair of shoes which we thought was such a great deal at $ 13. He wore them that night while we went out and they literally fell apart while we were out and about. He was embarrassed and I was mortified. I know this is a consignment shop and the items are used, but they should last at least one wearing. It was quite obvious, After a more careful inspection, that they were glued together specifically for sale. I will no longer have this happy memory of this shop. Buyer beware

I can always find something here! Donna and Lorell have even contacted me when something I have mentioned I was looking for came in!

My friend and I were in the area on Thursday and decided to try and find a consignment store to browse. I read reviews for Pennywise and decided to visit. Well worth our trip! Great clothes at an awesome price. We will be back again!

The best consignment store on the shoreline in my opinion. Every time I go in, I always walk out with stuff at a decent and fair price. Last time I was in, I got a great almost new pair of Hudson jeans for $ 39! Great mix of moderate to high end brands. I live about 35 minutes away — NEVER a wasted trip to come here!

I love consignment shopping and this is one that I’ve been dying to stop in for years but have never had the time. I finally got to stop in on Sunday (¹²⁄₁₄). Although I found some great things — the girl behind the counter never once even looked up from her phone — the entire time I was in there (½ hour). The pretty kitty that was laying on the counter had more personality than her. Another customer walked in and she didn’t acknowledge her either. I’m not saying that you have to trip over yourself to welcome someone but just a little friendly look up might be nice. So I found a handbag — I went up to the register, she rang it in, I handed her my $ 20 — she handed me back my change and then just walked away from behind the counter. Never even thanked me or even acknowledged my presence LOL! It was unbelievable! I actually said thank you (just as a reflex)! I walked out of there and just shook my head. Really? Is that the acceptable level of customer service nowadays? I have been in thousands of consignment shops and usually owners/​workers are very nice — this one, not so much. I wouldn’t allow it to not make me shop there cause they had alot of nice things but if the owners read this, you might actually want to make this a teachable moment for the non communicative and non friendly girl you’ve got representing your store. Just my opinion.

We stopped in Mystic on our way from vacation and I found the place as we drove by. It was really nice and I found some cheap high end clothes including Zara, Banana Republic, and J. Crew! I paid $ 6 for a J. Crew cardigan. I was really happy I stopped by!

Note to those allergic: there is a cat that hangs out in this store. I don’t know about this cat, but most of them like to rub their bodies on things, and if you are highly allergic, maybe you want to avoid buying clothing from a store where a cat might have rubbed itself against the clothing racks.
That aside, the staff is not friendly, including when you are GIVING them your clothes to sell. I say «give» because you are not allowed to get them back if they don’t sell. Also, there is no accounting of your items that do or don’t sell. There is just a check that you can pick up at the store’s convenience.
I can’t complain too much because they accepted a lot of my stuff that didn’t fit into their posted stringent guidelines (such as brands) and if I waited long enough to pick the check up it was for a decent amount.

Wonderful store. High quality clothes. Got some really cute items here for great deals. Also a plus because they actually have a nice selection of smalls and extra smalls. Which can be hard to find in other consignment stores.

Awesome consignment shop! Nothing too crazy or high end but no crap. This Unilocal listing is for their shop by the Seaport but they also have a location on Cottrell Street that has children’s clothes too.
The store is well organized with all women’s on the bottom floor & men’s upstairs. Lots to look through but easy to navigate. Prices are definitely reasonable. They are picky about what they take in. Certain brands (Old Navy & JCPenny) you’ll never find here. And I’ve had a few items denied when they found stains that we had missed. Great inventory of clothes, footwear & accessories.
The best thing about Pennywise if you’re consigning clothes is their payment system: they’ll cut you a check any time you want. Some other places make you wait until a certain day or charge you to give you your money. Pennywise makes it easy.
If you’re in the area and want to consign or want to get a bargain then you should definitely stop in.

Friendly owners, super cute cat and great deals. Everything is in great condition, or looks like new. Fun bags, and jewelry. Looking forward to next time.

From the outside, this place looks like it wouldn’t have the selection of brands I would be looking for in a hidden gem of a consignment store. However, once I walked inside I was pleasantly surprised! These guys know their brands and know their price points – which were great deals all around! Definitely check it out if you are in the area!

I“m changing my review because I’ve started consigning here and I love the process. You walk in, the owner will check out what you have and tell you what will or won’t sell. The whole process takes 5 minutes! They are fair and reasonable and they do not charge an up front fee like a lot of other places… awesome!
Another thing I like as a consignor is that your product stays on the floor for 6 – 8 weeks. If it sells, you get a check, if it doesn’t… it is donated to a charity. For me, that is the best of both worlds. I might make a little bit of extra cash, but if don’t… at least the clothes find a good home. The consignor gets 50% of the sale, so you can make a decent chunk of change.
A few days after I dropped off my stuff, I stopped by to do some shopping. I noticed all of my products on the rack with a fair price.

I would give the place a 3.5. Seven for all mankind for $ 35. Hollister hoodie for $ 15. Ugg leather sandals (never worned) for $ 40. Not a lot of high designer. They did have a Marc Jacobs bag for $ 125.
MAJOR con for me was the cat walking around the store. Especially since I’m allergic! !! And the new downtown location is very bare. This location definitely has more and would recommend checking it out. Also I didn’t love their selection of jewelry.
Overall: this place can be good for some cute clothes at cheap prices but can be hit or miss like all consignment shops.

As consignment stores go, this one is a peach. Some are rotten plums with nothing but old fart stuff that smells outrageous. not here. This definitely caters to the younger set, with many other offerings including men’s, and new Birkenstock shoe varieties. If that’s your thing.
A cat hangs out here. I guess that’s my new consignment criterion. If an animal is hanging out, it’s good.
Anyway, prices and conditions were above par.
