Max and Lily’s Closet

We love Max and Lily’s closet. It is such a great local business. Michelle and the rest of the staff couldn’t be more helpful. I have found so many great things for my son at Max and Lily’s. I recommend it highly!

Awesome awesome place! Great condition clothes and gear. Good brands, and highly organized owner. I have lived in several different places the last few years and would make the 45 min drive just to come here. Some of my favorite clothes have come from Max and Lily’s. I now find it hard to buy anything new.

Max and Lily’s is such an awesome store in West Hartford! I stopped by here while visiting my sister in Connecticut, and was able to buy my niece several outfits for what I would’ve paid for 1 at Target. They had toys, books and so much more, but the clothes selection was amazing, and Michelle, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and helpful! Thank you so much!

Great service, very pleased with cordial relations, and family friendliness. The two woman working were very helpful and resourceful. They stayed later then they were open on a Sunday, and never breathed a word about it. Thank you for being their, and assisting our family needs in such a timely manner.

I love shopping at this store! The women who work there are so helpful and nice as well as knowledgable about their items for sale. The merchandise is always good quality because they only consign items in good or new condition. I am able to find top quality merchandise for very good prices. Many of the items that I have found still have tags on them or appear to have barely been used. Their merchandise returns over so much that it’s exciting to walk in and to see what new items have come in! It’s well worth the trip to get some great deals.

They always have a wide selection of items even though the selection might not be «plenty» it’s like the have a little bit of everything. And things you would never expect like preowned cloth diapers, baby carriers, really nice diaper bags — and one of the only places that consigns maternity clothes in the Hartford area. Their prices are not «rock bottom» but all the stuff is nice quality, you won’t find nasty stuff.
Plus, the employees are soooo nice! 3 days post partum I was in need of a product they carried (they are also one of the only places that carries earth mama products in the hartford area) that I had almost bought the other day when I had been in. I walked in, and NOOOOOOOO the one jar they had was gone!!! Post partum Alicia could have started crying! The girl (maybe the owner? Blonde curly hair) scraped some from the bottle of the sample jar and put it in a zip lock bag so I could have some to tie me over until the owner could bring some from her house the next day. She even offered to have me go to her house to get it. Seriously, wonderful. They understand new momma business.
I have only really bought «boutique» items here. A Petit Bateau cardigan, Earth Mama products, Bum Genius (second hand) and Anne Marie Padorie (second hand) diapers. All have been in really nice condition and priced well.

Review written from experience of someone consigning products for sale at Max and Lily’s:
We decided to consign products here based on positive word of mouth and a special where consigner was going to get larger percentage of selling price. Experience was initially positive, but deteriorated very quickly. Basically, ownership runs a very loose ship and certainly does not treat its consigners well at all. Constant discrepancies between sales information on their web portal and what employees will tell you. And you need to do all the follow-​up (generally with second and third requests) to get the money you are owed. Right now, we have requested (again) that we receive our last check (a week ago as of this writing) and still nothing. This is not surprising. We will most likely have to call this weekend, be told that they forgot and will promise to send out this week. Rinse and repeat and eventually it will get done. Basically, because we will not let ourselves get ripped off.
Honestly, as a consigner, I would stay far, far away. They may offer better consignment rates, but I will trade a better seller experience for the extra 5−10% that I may get from this place.

I love this place. My wife and I have recently discovered the benefit of using Children’s consignment shops to purchase clothing our daughter. The selection here is very high quality. They don’t necessarily have a lot to choose from but the quality of the clothing is fantastic. The prices are very reasonable and they price things to move with large discounts on their inventory that is older than a couple of months.
They do consign other baby goods such as toys, walkers, swings, carriers, strollers, and cloth diapers. So its worth the stop in to see the entire selection.
I can only speak as a buyer, but this place is definitely worth the effort to get to.
