Trouvaille

I only Unilocal if something ghastly occurs and I feel people need to be warned or if a place floors me by being great. Trouvaille which I can not pronounce is a gem! If you want nice stuff and a large selection I recommend this place. People there are knowledgeable and friendly and the inventory rotates so it’s not the same experience every time. I enjoy that because when frequenting Ballard I can stop in with my fiancé, and she can try on stuff and find something new. Highly recommend!

I have a 15 year old son who has just recently taken an interest in clothes. This is both good and bad. The reason why it’s good is well… it just is. The reason why it’s bad is that he has taken a liking to very expensive clothes. But the it gets good again because I can take him to Trouvaille! But then it’s bad again, because there are so many very cool things to buy and it’s hard to pass up cool things.
ps. I buy mens clothing for myself at Trouvaille. love it!

Well now, a consignment store that has mens items, scratch that — make it fashionable mens items. You will find labels like Costume National, Dries van Noten, ETRO, Paul Smith, John Varvatos (Silver label, not the ‘STAR USA’ stuff). Now do get too excited, the store is young and the size range is still limited. But, as time goes on and they get some depth in their consigner bench, things will really start to get interesting. Prices are still a bit high, but time and volume will sort that out eventually. I nabbed an awesome Dries van Noten shirt, that garnered compliments as soon as I exited the (one & only) dressing room… and the compliments haven’t stopped yet! I suppose once they do, I know where I can consign it!
I will return!

For the size of the store, Trouvaille is able to stow quite a few interesting gems within their walls. The eclectic mix of home décor and clothing makes them delightfully unique. While this is a high-​end shop, a majority of their stock is competitively priced. Great for discovering hard to find items or window shopping, this is one boutique that’s definitely worth checking out.

Beautifully curated vintage shop tucked away on Ballard Ave. Higher priced, but worth stopping by for some one-​of-​a-​kind finds.

This shop comes up while searching for women’s consignment but that offering in the store is limited. Limited but what you will find are high-​end items with the price tag to match. You might get lucky if you have the wallet to fund it.

Great store. Love that there are high end bargains that can be found for ¹⁄₃ the price mixed with lower end items, so truly something for everyone. But what I don’t like, and what keeps me from rating a 5, is that when you ask how how was this item regularly, they say, well, it’s marked ¹⁄₃ of its regular price. Not so. I bought an amazing jacket for 150, and was told the retail was 450 (¹⁄₃). I went home, checked online, and I can buy new for 150. So, I feel kinda gipped. I got a used coat, worn and all with evidence of wear, discoloration around the collar, etc. And paid new price. Not cool guys. Tell the truth. Don’t mislead people into thinking they are getting a better deal than they are.
