Plato's Closet Fairfield is a thrift store with a phenomenal selection, particularly strong in athletic apparel, sneakers, and designer items. The store is tailored to gym and athletic wear, with staff specifically on the hunt for brands like Lululemon, Athleta, Nike, Adidas, Gymshark, and Alo. Shoppers can find a wide selection, including denim from top popular brands, designer handbags, jewelry, and perfume, often at a quarter of the original price. The inventory is well-organized and restocked daily, with big events offering a particularly large mother lode of items. The staff is consistently described as nice, respectful, cordial, quick, and super helpful, contributing to an overall positive shopping experience. They are available to assist with questions and make customers feel welcomed. For those looking to sell, the process is straightforward, though the store is selective, buying items based on current customer demand, style, and the season ahead. They do not tend to buy or sell every trendy or fashionable item, focusing instead on their athleticwear niche. This location is considered higher quality than some thrift stores but on the lower end of the resale spectrum. Customers recommend visiting regularly to browse the daily restocks and attending special events for the best finds.
It was a pretty easy experience. I dropped my clothes to sell at 5pm and they told me to pick them back up at 7pm. Whatever they didn’t buy I donated on my own but it’s a nice way to make a couple bucks. The clothing selection is also pretty cute and summery right now.

If your looking to sell any clothes do not come here. If you want your time wasted. If you think you have a huge amount of clothes worth a pretty penny, Think again. Dont waste your time here trying to sell anything.
