Lotus Consignment Boutique

I am shocked that this business is listed as opened right now. It has been closed for at least a year!

There are a lot of reviews on this place, but I definitely want to reiterate the awesome find in downtown P.
Awesome customer service – owner kept taking my heavy load to the dressing room while I continued to peruse. I went in to look for possible dresses for summer weddings, and she checked all the racks for possible matches. Though you can’t go in hoping to find anything in particular, there are lots of fun pieces for an open-​ended shopping spree.
Layout of store– clean, open boutique-​style store organized to make it easy to look through items by size and by apparel item. Store has shoes, bags, jeans, some dresses, and oodles of color-​sorted tops
Quality: all labels, so I was actually excited to find the prices of most items to be in the $ 16 – 30 range. I’m not one to purchase full retail price of high end items so I would never be consigning my own items. But I am excited that wealthy P-​tonners get bored of their last-​season items. Found two great BR items for $ 50 first time I walked in. Can’t wait to go back next week and see what new items are in!

Danielle (the owner) and Chelsea, along with all other employees, work very hard to please each and every customer while staying true to the dynamic and theme of the store. new, amazing items come in daily and don’t last long. I love Lotus and recommend this store to any potential consignors and customers.

I’ve consigned at Lotus a couple of times now but won’t be returning after my last experience. I had brought in some items including 2 nice coats. One of these coats was a gorgeous white wool peacoat that I’ve only worn a couple of times and was in mint condition. I definitely wanted it back if it didn’t sell; I was on the fence about giving it up in the first place. It didn’t sell, and Lotus ended up donating it when I missed my pick up date by a week. Not only that, they charged me $ 5+ for a donation fee?! No calls, no warnings. I had about $ 6 something in my account from another item that sold, so I was left with $ 1. You can keep it.
Let me put this in context. So the store’s consignment period lasts about 2 months but items get put on 30−50% discount after a month. Here’s the problem: their only reminder for your final bag date is in the form of a lil’ business card that they write out when you bring in your items. Um, ever heard of a computer? This thing called email? We’re in 2014. People are busier than ever nowadays, and how easy is it to misplace a little business card? Yes, I also put the reminder in my phone but my schedule is crazy and if I missed the reminder to pick up my items, I’m SOL?
I’ve consigned at other places that emails me a clear list of my items and how much they were put on sale for (Sola Lucy in Oakland for one), as well as reminder emails when it’s time to pick them up. Lotus Consignment is supposed to be a high end consignment boutique. it’s time to upgrade your communications methods to match your store’s so called high-​end experience. Get yourself into the 21^st century.

I love this place. Great employees. Great selection. So fun.

This place looks nice on the inside… tidy and organized, but don’t let that fool you. I have brought clothing here a few times, but I will no longer bring any of my belongings here for resale. Their accounting practices are highly suspicious and they have NEVER been able to pay me for my clothes that have sold in a timely manner. They are always full of excuses why they cannot write me a check. I have now been waiting for over two months for payment. Why can’t they just mail it to me? I told the young woman that our clothing keeps them in business and pays their employees, but they seem to have no gratitude for the women providing the clothing. If clothing has not sold, and it is the final bag date (two weeks past being on the floor), the owner of the clothing should receive either their clothing or payment for what has sold when they come to pick it up. To be clear, leave your clothing here at your own risk! I do not trust this establishment!
Update 5÷29÷15: I noticed last week that this place is no longer in business. No surprise here!

Fantastic store, went in to «look» came out with a Max Studio leather jacket and a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes for a little over $ 200 and both are in excellent condition.

spotted Lotus Consignment Boutique. inside looked cute, clean. so checked it out.
looked at the pants. turned to the cashier and asked:
«these are women’s clothes, aren’t they?»
she smiled and said: «yes»
i smiled and reluctantedly left.
(think the sizes were too small).

I went into Lotus with a bunch of high value clothing in excellent condition. I thought for certain that I would have a nice return from the items I was bringing in from Cache, Ralph Lauren, Manrico, etc. I had some lovely cashmere items and jewelrey as well.
I was told at the onset that in order to open an account, they require a $ 200 payment; whether it be taken from your first donation, or you pay the money upfront. I thought that was a little over the top, but maybe consignment store procedures have changed around since my last visit.
She scanned through my clothing, and quoted me at around $ 60. I almost found that degrading. I had one jacket that I brought in that was worth around $ 500.00 alone. I was baffled.
The store is cute, and I am sure there are a lot of lovely items here. But it just didn’t cut it for me, and I won’t be returning in the future.

I don’t feel like I am walking into a consignment boutique which is nice. There are no funky smells. It’s not cluttered with clothing. It is organized by color which is visually appealing to me.
Not sure why all those things matter to me because the real reason I come in here is for the new stuff, the jewelry. The jewelry cases fall in line with the rest of the store so they are organized and they happen to be filled with items by local artists. The pieces have a comfortable price point and are unique.
I would like to give a shout out to the Livermore artist that made my garnet bracelet! Who’s maker, coincidently, goes by the name of Lotus.

Found some pretty awesome stuff here. I like brand name stuff. Call me a snob or whatever you’d like… I like nice things, so it is only fair for you to call me a snob.
I actually brought in stuff to consign when I first found it. Just moving from the east coast of the US where big closets exist, to the West coast where big closets exist, only if you are a bazillionaire – I needed to unload some of my things. The very next day, I visited again (not because I have a bad shopping habit or anything…) to find out almost all of my stuff sold! In one day!
The turn over seems to be pretty quick. So stop in often to find new stuff.
This store is almost always busy! That is good for local business. I guess a lot of women feel the same way that I do about a good deal.
I will be back. Probably today…

This is HANDS DOWN the best consignment boutique in the Tri-​Valley area. I have purchased amazing items at a fraction of the price. She researches her prices incredibly well, and the owner, Danielle, is incredibly professional. I visit this store often, and have purchased numerous J. Crew, Ann Taylor, Anthro., Banana, Joe’s, Citizens — items for incredible prices. Everything in amazing condition. Danielle is smart to require a minimum — too many people with one or two things would make her database a nightmare to maintain. I love this store!!!

I have gone to Lotus several times in the past few years and just recently purchased a beautiful LV wallet. It was in great condition and I paid a very reasonable price. I found the sales people incredibly friendly and had an over all great experience. I plan on bringing in my coach purses to sell as well.

First impression is, very cute design and once you understand the color system for the pricing, it really brings the whole design together. I do enjoy that they try to put their clothing together by color, so if you’re looking for that certain color plum, you will either find it immediately or not at ‘lotus’ at all.
They carry high end items and good prices however purses are especially high priced, I feel for the fact that these items are used and usually show some of the wear. But in fairness they do have a large $ 10 rack that I found two great year round items. But overall I wasn’t too scared off by the pricing, I walked out with (4) pieces that I couldn’t wait to preview for my family, (which they loved by the way, not often do I get a compliment from husband for SPENDING money).
Good array of size ranges available. I really appreciate that they do offer sizes larger than 8. I do have have to say a couple of the items throughout the store really were on the ‘too used’ side of the aisle, if you catch my drift, moon doggie…
But, I’ll be back again and again I’m sure.

I’ve been going to Lotus for a few years, and all of the good stuff in my closet — the stuff I get tons of compliments on – came from here.
I see some reviews complaining that the stuff is overpriced. I’m not sure what they’re looking for, specifically, but I’ve gotten some stellar deals, including a Calvin Klein blazer on the $ 10 clearance rack; a cute jersey knit tunic, tags still on, for $ 20; Paige jeans for $ 45; and my all-​time favorite raincoat that was a steal at $ 35. Do they have some more expensive items? Sure, but that’s not all they have, not by a long shot.
The merchandise is definitely contemporary; this isn’t the sort of place where you’ll find quirky items from past decades.

My first visit to this store and not very impressive. Was looking for something colorful/​vintage for the Unilocal rainbow event and I didn’t really have anything specific in mind… wanted to keep an open mind to something cute.
I do like how the space is wide and open with room to easily browse. Clothes are organized by color. I was greeted upon entering but both employees did not come over to ask if I needed help or ideas. Although I welcome the opportunity to browse in peace, it would’ve been nice to at least get a few quick suggestions.
Prices are pretty hefty here. I understand that a lot of the merch is premium brand but at the same time the reality is that these items are all used quality and as you look closely there’s everything from a dry faded stain to even that «pill» effect you see on sweater material.
I DID find the top I wore to rainbow riot and it was a colorful flowy blouse with a peacock style to it. I love the top and it was reasonable in price… but not sure if that makes up for the 20 minutes of searching through everything else.

BEWARE!!! I cosigned my clothes to Lotus Consignment Boutique. The contract I signed stated that if my items are not sold I can either opt to donate the items or have them return to me. I clearly stated that I wanted all unsold items returned to me. I would call from time to time to check on the status of items. The lady would say «you have some items unsold/​bagged for pick up». Not once did the lady on the phone mentioned anything about my items being donated after 2 weeks of not being picked up. So all this time I thought I could go to the store any time. The holiday came and I got busy so I was not able to pick up my items right away.
When I called after the holiday to set up a time to pick up my unsold items, I was shock to find out that they donated ALL my unsold items! The owner, Daniel told me that it was stated in the contract that after 2 weeks of not picking up the items, they will automatically be donated. I find that very deceiving. You don’t give your customer an option to either donate or pick up, if you will still donate the items regardless of what the customer’s option was at the time of signing the contract.
The owner was not very helpful. Did not even apologize or tried to make an arrangement to resolve the issue. I told her that if I just wanted to donate my clothes, I would have done it myself. When I asked her for the proof/​receipt/​donation write off form, she said she never asked for one. I find that very odd. I would have donated the clothes myself to a charity of my choice or gave them to my sisters.
Also when I came to the store to pick up my last check (for an item sold), the owner immediately gave my Prada shoes back and said «By the way, the shoes were still here» when she repeatedly told me over the phone that ALL my unsold items were donated. This strengthen my belief that I was being lied to. Some of my clothes have tags on them for $ 200+. They were not cheap. I would gladly donate clothes, but not unused, with tags on them. I’ve already taken the first step to take my complaint to the next level, as the owner is not willing to work with me or offer any kind of resolution. And by the way, I agree with some of the reviews that the clothes are outdated and overpriced. I will never do business with this company ever again!

Chelsey saved me yesterday… what a gem!
I went in with a huge load… I am purging everything that no longer fits. Most are now waiting for their forever homes!
I accidentally sent some of the family jewels… and she hunted them down for me… I picked them up today… many thanks!

This consignment boutique is seriously cute, clean, and well organized! They have tons of gorgeous clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories. I havent consigned with them before but I would bet that they have pretty high standards regarding designer/​brand name because they carry some pretty high end items here, which is great if that’s what you are looking for (yes please!). I only took away one star because I think the price points are still a bit high… With the tag sales you can still get some great deals… but at ‘full price’ you can go to a clearance rack, an outlet store, or tj maxx/​marshalls and get some of the same items for similar prices.
I’ve only been in a few times and only purchased on my most recent trip. I got a Banana Republic skirt NWT for $ 15 after the 50% tag sale. Pretty sure they shouldn’t have priced it originally at the same $ 30 BR ticket price to begin with… but I was glad to get it 50% off :-) I also bought a pair of super cute J. Crew trousers for $ 22 which I didn’t think was bad. I definitely left a happy customer and will absolutely be back for more!

When I walked in here, I thought this store was adorable! Loved the décor and usage of space. Very clean, large, and open.
However, for a consignment shop, the prices are ridiculous! There were a few pieces that I’m very familiar with the brand and price range. I don’t think you should be selling a used shirt for the same amount it was sold at Marshall’s brand new. They also carried a couple of LV handbags — yes, retail price is roughly $ 600-​$ 700. Again, it’s a used bag that is going for $ 300 – 500 that isn’t well kept? You can find a better deal at Crossroads.
Not impressed.
