“Like any great consignment or vintage shop, if you do a little digging, you are going to find a few gems. The Vested Interest is probably one of the most organized shops I've visited, so the digging isn't too intense and the gems are really not too hard to find. Need a sweater? Well, go to the sweater section. Shoes? All in one place. Blazers, coats, outerwear? All separated so even sifting between different kinds of jackets isn't tough. You get the point. AND on top of all of that, it is very well sorted between sizes. My mom comes here often and has gotten a few great pieces for herself and as gifts over the years. And on my last trip I walked away with two beautiful coats! One was Jones New York and still had the original tags for $400.... I walked out with it for $80. The woman working there when I stopped in was super helpful, gave me some opinions when I asked for them and was very kind. When I didn't ask for any help, she just let me look around and shop without feeling rushed. Excited to pop back in every once and awhile! If you are looking for any gifts for the holidays, I definitely recommend shopping this great small second hand shop.”
“I had a really good experience here. I was greeted upon entering and the personnel were all really nice, attentive, and helpful during my entire shopping experience. The store is well-organized and clean. Don't think since the store is small it isn't worth checking out—they offer a ton of amazing items at fair and sometimes very good discounted prices.”
“The store in South Plainfield is generally clean and organized. I have not had many interactions with staff members, except at the checkout line. Maybe a few workers have English as their second language.
I love looking at all the items. It gets crowded on 50% off sale days, but that is to be expected.
Some clothes are brand new, with their tags still on! Be careful of prices and check the color of the tags to see if they are on sale that day. Warning - you cannot purchase an item if it doesn't have a tag. Make sure you check all your items for rips or stains, broken zippers, etc.”
“Just walked out with a free bracelet since the storeowner was so kind, I accidentally went out with the bracelet on wrist after trying it on, me my sister and cousin drove back and he gave it back just for the troubles, totally visiting again, beautiful antiques aswell. Loved the small vintage dolls and size variations!”
