Kimberly’s Consignment Couture

I’ve been coming here for years. I don’t bother with the used items; just not my thing unless it’s an old vintage piece. But she sells new (with original tags) Chanel, Manolo’s, YSL, Marc Jacobs, etc and that is my sweet spot. Items aren’t cheap but compared to retail an amazing deal. Toni is always fair with her prices. Sorry for the cliché term, but it’s a win-​win situation… And it’s tucked away on the other side of SF, so if you are in the mood to go through racks, there will be many treasures to be found.

Lovely neighborhood place to stop by on the way to Legion of Honore Museum.
Family business that been around for years from mother to daughter, build loyal clients and supporters.
Warm and inviting atmosphere, Great selection of Couture and unique clothing and Accessories from all over the world.
Prices went up lately, but quality and condition is always there, among good conversation, and local devoted clientele.
Over years I got and sold stuff, but every piece of couture, and Designer clothing, it’s been well appreciated.
Thank you, Tony.

The first time you walk in, it’s a bit overwhelming. There’s so much to go through. But, there are some treasures to be found! Great handbags, evening dresses, etc.
Downside, it seems the ladies that like to impulse buy, never wear then consign their clothes are a size zero. Sigh.
Yes, some items are priced high. Particularly those never-​worn items with tags, but that’s to be expected. The forever brands — Chanel, Missoni, St. John etc. are going to be expensive.
And, to those that said Toni is rude — I’ll bet she can be. You can tell she’s a woman that won’t take anyone’s crap. It’s one of the things I enjoy about her when I visit. Nor would I put any weight into the reviewer that thinks they left clothing. It’s just not her style. It must have been one of the other shops.
If you’re into consignment, or want to check it out, I highly recommend Kimberly’s.

So today was my first visit to Kimberly’s and the owner Toni was working. Talk about feeling like I had walked into Neimans or Saks!
Completely and utterly excited and had to quiet the ooooh’s and ahhh’s that myself and my friend giggled over, as we stopped at each rack considering what we couldn’t live with out.
After promising myself (when I was young and broke) that someday I would own a Missoni… I can now say I do. It’s on layaway AND I can’t wait to go back — pay it off and find the next item. Toni does a credit to consignment. The items are in beautiful condition and they most definitely are pieces that I could not afford at retail… but I can at her prices!
I needed to brag to the world… even if I secretly wanted to tuck this treasure under my cap.

Kimberly’s is a wonderful consignment shop. The staff is great. They are extremely helpful and kind. They give you their honest opinion and never coerce you into making a purchase. The owner, Toni Peterson, is extremely knowledgeable in regards to the merchandise. If she doesn’t know something she will find out and get back to you. I have purchased several items of designer clothing, purses and shoes at the shop and am very happy with all my purchases. I have also consigned clothing, purses, shoes and jewelry with them, and have received a fair price for my items. I have never had a problem receiving payment from Toni. Check this place out!!!

This consignment shop is the absolute WORST, especially if you are bringing in clothes to sell. Do not trust them with your «treasures». I left a number of high end cocktail dresses, as well as very nice silk and linen shirts, jackets, etc. All good designer labels! And, after not hearing from them for a number of months, I called to see how they were doing with the sale of my items, and they could not find the record. Fortunately, I had my paperwork. I finally went into the store, went through the racks, and did not find one item of mine still left.
I inquired, and they were rude, unhelpful, took a look at my paperworks, and said that they would be in touch. They weren’t. And then… wait for it… they eventually sent me a check for $ 14, saying that was all they were able to sell my clothes for. To say that I was shocked is an understatement. I didn’t even cash the check. I tore it up. It was insulting.

I have loved Kimberley’s Consignment Store for almost 20 years, and I regularly drive up from San Carlos just to look for clothing treasures. Toni is always welcoming and friendly. The selection is terrific. I wear a larger size, and I almost always find several items that look great on me. Also I take my better clothing to Kimberley’s for them to sell, and my income from their sales offset my purchases. A win-​win.

Iv’e been to Kimberly’s Consignment a couple of times now. Toni the owner is super nice, great to chat with. My husband I go there and we both really like it… Toni has really nice and beautiful items in her store. We will go again and again. My husband bought a Gucci wallet and I am getting an Hermes Scarf. Both authentic and priced nicely… I also love handbags and this is a great spot for those as well. Toni lets me look at anything I want and is very nice about answering any questions I have. Thanks Toni

I go with my wife. She always gets a great deal on a quality item. However, my wife makes me pay. Maybe I should not go there?
The owner is always really friendly. Some other Unilocalers say that she has a bad attitude. However, I think that if you start giving the owner a hard time, she is not going to just set back and take the abuse.

I heard about this place awhile back, but due to it’s location I never made it here. I came here when I was in the neighborhood the other day and it wasn’t half bad. It doesn’t have the look and feel of a boutique like Cris. It’s located in an older building and the interior is very basic. There are a few gems here including some Chanel, Prada, and Marc Jacobs, but you really have to look hard to find something worth buying. The items are mostly geared to an older clientelle. Kimberly’s has some special consigners who leave their wardrobe with her. One consigner in particular has excellent taste, but unfortunately I need to lose a few pounds to fit in her clothes. I think I want everything from her wardrobe and not much from her other consigners. I will come back every once in awhile to check out items. I’m more interested in designer pieces and Kimberly’s selection is the best in the city besides Cris. Her inventory is better than Designer Consigner or Goodbyes. I think her inventory doesn’t turn over as often as Cris’s. She has some items with tags from 2006. Of course on older items you don’t have to pay the price marked on the garment. You can ask for a discount and will be gladly given one. Cris only keeps items for 2 months. I think I would prefer to consign at Cris because Cris gives 50%, while Kimberly’s only gives 40%. For selection, I give Kimberly’s 4 stars, but Toni (the owner) can get a bit surly at times so one star marked down for service.

Unbelievably expensive for a 2^nd hand store. like $ 50 for hammer pants… who would pay these prices for old lady clothes? I wouldn’t think rich old ladies would want 2^nd hand clothes.
How can this place afford to stay open? It’s making my brain hurt.

I picked up 2 purses here — a big brown Francisco Biasa and a nice vintage gold clutch. Prices were super reasonable compared to what I’ve been finding at other places.
I also sold a bag here and it was super easy. The owner is very nice and quick to cut checks.

Prices are really high for being a second hand store. I asked Kimberly if she would take my number to let me know if any Marc Jacobs bags come in, and she snapped at me. She told me the demand was too high. I guess I don’t fit into her clientelle. I’ll take me buisness elsewhere.

This used to be a favorite shop of mine during my unemployed stint while living out in the Richmond.
Since this store is really close to Sea Cliff – they get a sometimes fantastic selection of designer clothes from the wealthy housewives/​celebrities living nearby. There used to be a «butler» that would drop off a car-​full of designer clothes/​shoes/​handbags (most with the tags still on) about once a month. I’ve had luck with a gorgeous Chanel suit, Gucci camisole, Prada blouse, Missoni poncho and multiple pairs of Manolo Blahniks. Since it is designer and either slightly or never worn – they do still charge kind of a lot. Prices are lowered once items have been on the rack for awhile – and she has a really good layaway plan! Definitely worth the trip out there if you stop by Shi-Mo’s for dinner or a movie at the 4-​Star! :)

Non existent service. The store is full of rich wives who live in the Sea Cliff area. Don’t bother coming in here unless you want to hob nob with these older women.
There are lots of expensive clothing… some that are way overpriced in my opinion. New Manolo Blahniks, Chanel and Yves suits, and other name brand clothing.
