The Clothing Dock is a local small business that is more than just a costume shop or a thrift store. It provides a great experience with the most friendly and helpful staff, who are sweet, super knowledgeable, and have an amazing eye for style. They are consistently praised for being really helpful, making the shopping experience super pleasant and worthwhile, and for their uncanny ability to help customers find exactly what they need. The store features a great, rad, and affordable selection for both fun costumes and day-to-day clothing. It is the absolute go-to for costumes for any dress up occasion, including themed parties, and also for daily outfits. Shoppers will find a great variety of vintage treasures, hidden gems, and pieces they won't find elsewhere, all at amazing and fair prices. The store is organized by color, which many customers appreciate. The hardest part is often finding something you love that isn't in your size. Additionally, it is a great place to take gently used, vintage, or new items to earn store credit or trade them for cash. Customers love being able to trade clothes for items they love. The Clothing Dock in downtown Arcata is a family shop with a loyal customer base that highly recommends a visit to find some goodies.
Absolutely loved our experience at the Clothing Dock. It's not every day you can find the PERFECT dress for wedding at a thrift store, plus the exact shoes you needed to match. Owner is an amazing person and EVERYTHING is 50%. Get in and get your goodies before they're gone. 👌🏽😁
