Curio-Women’s Resale Clothing And Accessories’s

Love this place, I always find something great at awesome prices everytime!!!

Very small but very lovely. Always carrying nice and trendy clothing brands. I always end up buying a dress (even if I’m looking for something else) because they have such a cute selection. I very much recommend this store to ladies high school age and up – a variety of styles for everyone.

A little hard to find, but a nice treat when you do. Once you in the store you’ll notice it’s very small. (Not a bad thing just an observation) I didn’t find anything the day we visited, so I guess as one reviewer put it, you have to visit often to better your odds of hitting on something.

Such a great little store! I’ve been in a few time and have always found a little treasure. Some of my favorite clothing items have come from there! The staff (Andi) has always been so helpful– helping me find stuff when I’m looking for something in particular and letting me just browse when I’m just in the mood to shop!
A little gem in downtown SLO!

You never know what you’ll find here! But I always look at their jewelry! Come with some gently used clothes of your own in exchange for credit to use towards your purchase!

I LOVE Curio! I’ve only been here a couple times, but tucked away in the Creamery is one of the best vintage/​gently used clothing stores I’ve been in. The staff is super friendly and it was so fun trading in some of my vintage dresses from Spain for store credit and immediately getting a cute pair of boots for my friend and an ADORABLE green and polka dot blouse for me. Everything there is carefully selected, and you can find some really great brands at a fraction of the retail cost. I do wish they had bigger sizes on the shoes, I’m a nine and I left somewhat disappointed on that front; but my disappointment was utterly overshadowed (‘overshone’?) by my delight at finding such a unique
store amongst all the matching boutiques and chains in downtown SLO. Woo woo Curio!

Amazing place! Best prices and the BEST stuff! I think it’s the biggest kept secret in all of Slo.

Strolling out of Mama’s Meatballs with my pal, we launched into Curio, which had a curiously good display in front of the store. It was a soft summer afternoon and I was in teh market for… whatever…and this little store had plenty of it. Sweet little green leather espadrilles for $ 9.00, embroidered belts, and a swingy orange bespangled circle skirt all enticed me. They were the perfect purchase for a vacation, and their low price saved me any guilt if I damaged them in tromping around summer pool parties. They all have real leather belts, and a real array of sizes. The sales staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the merchandise.

I was most impressed by the jean selection here. I immediately found a pair of Lucky Brand jeans that fit perfectly and cost only $ 18! I also picked up a casual top after perusing the rest of the inventory.
This is def. the kind of place you’ll want to visit often to find the best stuff. There is a large variety of items, a lot of things I didn’t like and a lot I did– something for everyone.
I recommend this place for sure and I’ll be back soon.

I agree with all the comments below. You can’t see this store from the street. It’s tucked away in the Creamery near the creek. I can always find something here and they usually give me a good price on any items I bring it. (Buyers are not there every day.) Prices are great! I moved out of town but make it a point to come here when I’m in SLO.

This store is the best-​kept clothing secret in SLO! It’s a cute little second-​hand boutique on Higuera where you can trade in your old gently used clothing for store credit. You can also trade in jewelry, shoes, boots, accessories, etc.
Some of my favorite blouses have come from this store and usually i have ended up paying only $ 8 for them and they are always in great condition!
Every now and then i stop by and don’t find anything that i want to buy but they try to display their clothes according to the current season so i can usually find something.
I agree with the other reviews that i kind of don’t want other people to know about it but at the same time i guess if more people do they’ll continue to have a great selection.
I heart Curio!

I agree with the previous reviewer about not wanting my secret little second hand store to be overcrowded! But seeing as I’ve moved away from San Luis Obispo, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to let a few people in on it. Plus there’s a yoga place next door that’s always hustling and bustling so people probably already know about it.
This is as cute as a second hand store could be! It reminds me of a tiny little boutique, where everything is totally affordable. I’ve got a small purse and a pair of black pumps in pretty good condition for $ 1 each! It doesn’t get much better than that! They’ve also got a good selection of purses and a unique assortment of jewelry. Also they always seem to have a lot of boots in stock, and if they are real leather (and good condition) they’ll normally go for $ 28. Still cheaper than retail price!
Also, in case you didn’t know, they only sell women’s clothing/​accessories. The parking situation could be better as the parking lot is really, really tight. But there’s also a lot in the back which is also full most of the time. Still, metered street parking doesn’t get much cheaper than in SLO!
I am definitely a fan of Curio, and I try to come by every time I visit!

OK, it’s probably prudent NOT to share my secret thrift store finds with the world, but I am feeling generous today (or perhaps just stupid), so here goes:
Curio, quietly tucked away in a little nook of the Creamery, sells gently used fashionable clothing and accessories for cheap. I stumbled upon this place today, and was pleased to find a selection of pretty scarves, unique jewelry and cool handbags. While I didn’t notice any of the higher-​end designer names here, I did see a lot of merchandise from stores like Express and The Limited – all of good quality and with minimal wear.
If you are looking to sell some of your used clothes here, Curio offers 30% of their selling price in store credit – but call for an appointment first. All in all, a nice little store with a friendly staff. I’ll be sure to return in very near future to snatch up any new treasures before the rest of you do.

Used clothing in great condition sold at very, very reasonable prices. My mom got a gorgeous vintage dress for 20 dollars or so. I’ve gotten multiple purses and other accessories and haven’t spent more than 50 dollars or so total. The owner and her daughter run the place and are both very friendly.
Located downtown San Luis in the old Creamery around the corner from Mama’s Meatball and Tsurugi’s sushi.
