“My wife went to VIDA STYLE today and the customer service was exceptional. The staff were super friendly and super helpful. The quality of products she bought was top quality and the value was great. She would highly recommend stopping by VIDA STYLE.”
“Woah baby. Consignment lovers, eat your heart out. Fia's offers a real life treasure hunting experience with items that meet every budget and need. Fia's infectious personality will leave you feeling like family. Come for the treasures, stay for the memories. This trip, I found a vintage Nike quarterzip windbreaker, a Chanel cross body, a crochet set, and a Harry Poter novel. Talk about eclectic!”
“My husband and I came to Rubini for both my engagement ring and our wedding bands, and the entire experience was incredibly special from start to finish. We decided to design the engagement ring together, which I was hesitant to do but it turned out to be such a unique and meaningful process. I'm so happy we did.
We worked with Joanna, who was so calm and guided us through every step with care and patience. Since we had never designed a ring before, we had no idea where to begin. She showed us different styles, walked us through design books, helped narrow down my preferences, and even sketched ideas by hand as we talked through what we envisioned. From there, she created a CAD rendering of the ring so I could review and finalize before officially stepping out of the engagement ring process.
By the time we came back for our wedding bands, we felt much more comfortable with the process, and Joanna once again made everything easy and enjoyable.
What could have been an overwhelming process became such an intimate and unforgettable experience; one that’s now a meaningful part of our story together. Thank you again to Rubini and Joanna. We’re looking forward to coming back for future jewelry needs.”

“Incredibly unique shop. The owner is super kind, and I promise you’ll find some of the most unique items ever. There’s a wide array of sculptures, statues, and masks from all over Africa. They offer everything from baskets, picture, jewelry, pottery, and even rugs. I could have spent hours there and there would still be more to look at. There’s items (and cats!) everywhere, and that’s honestly just part of the charm.
Heads up: because there are cats wandering the shop, if you’re allergic, please take precautions. Also, the shop only accepts payment via services like Zelle, so just be aware of that. Lastly, you have got to check out the second floor.
Overall, I can’t recommend visiting enough, the owner is incredibly kind and has been there for 37 years. Please support your local businesses!”
“Great record selection, friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere. I like the racks of old magazines they have at the back for you to thumb through. You can also listen to any unsealed records before you decide to buy them.”
“We came here for my wife's birthday to buy her a full yukata. We had been there 4 years prior purchasing some small earthwares that were gorgeous. Everything inside was so beautiful and you can tell the craftsman and store owner took pride in their art. She was also amazing with my wife helping her pick out the perfect yukata showcasing the perfect customer service you see in Japan. We HIGHLY recommend Tokiya Japan and are loyal customers.”
“I stopped into this place yesterday, i had a flight to catch but since my home city doesn’t have very many nicer consignment shops, i decided to risk it all before the airport trip. it was so worth it. they really curate the shelves/racks.
i left with three pieces- one very nice quality staple pants and two statement pieces. Dot and the other staff were so kind and helpful not salesy but still very helpful. I can’t wait to go back when i’m
in DC again- with friends and more time to spare.”
“Really lovely old-school pieces - not vintage only in the sense previously owned, but vintage as in truly unique pieces that herald an earlier time. Mercedes truly loves what she does, and it shows!”
“I had a wonderful experience shopping here! Emmy helped me pick the perfect graduation dress and heels in no time at all. She was so helpful and sweet. I would love to visit the store again soon!”
“Hands down the best consignment store in DC! The owner is such an elegant and lovely woman, and she was incredibly friendly from the moment I walked in. She even came over herself to explain the store’s markdown policy to me — and honestly, the system here is amazing.
They clearly mark on the tags when an item will go on sale and exactly how much the discount will be, which makes shopping so much more transparent and fun.
The selection is genuinely impressive, and you can find a lot of beautiful pieces from luxury brands at very reasonable prices. I’ve found so many great items recently. Most of the clothing is in excellent condition and often looks basically brand new.
What impressed me the most is that they seem to add new inventory every single day. I visited three days in a row and still found completely different pieces every time.
I feel really lucky to have discovered this store — definitely worth supporting!”
“I had a great experience in this small boutique! The clothing was upscale, well priced on most, some seemed a bit steep but it's old town Alexandria, you expect it. It was clean, well laid out, helpful staff and they were very positive.”
“I've been buying my boys' clothes from 529 Kids Consign for the past 10 years. I started off buying online on their Instagram and have been amazed at the high quality, name brand items that I can get for a great price, plus love the environmental impact of buying secondhand. The owner, Megan Podolsky only accepts the best stuff, so the shoes and clothes you purchase at her store are in pristine quality and recent styles. As a #boymom and experienced corporate retail veteran, Megan knows how the market for boys' clothes is often overlooked and her carefully curated selection from top consignors with style allows me to keep my boys dressed in the brands like Burberry, Boden, Tea, Vineyard Vines, Hunter, Native and Sperry. I love the selection of dress shoes, winter boots, and water shoes. This store also has cute new items that I often buy for kids' birthday parties, holiday gifts or baby gifts. When I was pregnant and nursing, this was the place to get a professional work wardrobe that was functional and comfortable, but also stylish. Not only does the owner know her customers by name, but she is the best at recommending other small, local businesses and supporting other entrepreneurs. It's no easy feat managing multiple small businesses in a pandemic and tough economy. Definitely recommend following on Instagram--they can ship to you or hold for pickup pending payment.”
“I popped in this cute little shop over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised when I saw the vast selection of vintage pieces. I fell in love with a Japanese robe and the ladies were extremely helpful, even when I said I would return at a later date to buy it. But I just could not leave it there. I rushed back to make the purchase, and the ladies informed me that they were running a sale on florals. SOLD!! They even offered alterations if the robe fell too long on me...I am so short...but it fit perfectly. Thank you so much ladies for all your help and enthusiasm! I will be returning soon.”
“Visited for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised. Very clean and organized by color, which was nice. Decent prices and friendly/funny staff. Will be visiting again!”
“Such a great lil’ place. I’m was in from out of town and happen to stop by. Such cute clothes. Love love love.
I’m making it a point to stop by when I’m back in the DC area again.”
“My favorite local thrift. Prices are still reasonable, organized by size and usually not a total disaster. Line can be long if self check out isn't open, and parking is rough on the weekend.”
“If you know then you know they have a lot of treasures in this store.The staff are super friendly and professional the prices are great as well..I go to alot of Thift stores but this is my far my favorite one...I go on a Monday evening or Sunday...”
