“I have been to Suite Pieces multiple times and done a few DIY projects with Jolie paint. Amanda's tutorials on YouTube have been so helpful and the store itself has so many beautiful things inside !”
“Ladies and gentleman. If you love great finds this is a spot to check out. The clothing, dishware, records the things you find are endless.. There are 2 levels becuase its a house that was converted into a store. There are stairs and narrow doorways. This is what makes the place so unique. Please make time to check it out, you will not be disappointed.”
“I visited Wit & Whim for the first time last Saturday with my little sister for a Charm making event. The store is so charming and inviting, just as Jacquelyn and her staff.
From the moment I stepped in, it was like I stepped into a different moment in time where women gathered, shared stories and remedies, crafted, and shared specially curated gifts with one another.
The store itself houses many unique items, both acquired throughout time and handcrafted.
During the event, my sister and I collectively created a bold bag charm, simple bracelet, and a reminiscent necklace. We had a lovely chat with Jacquelyn, discussing the charms and their origins, while sharing personal stories, and pouring so much of ourselves into the new pieces we're taking home.
After purchasing our items from the charm event, we had another thorough look around and of course, couldn't leave without purchasing another piece each to whisk away.
We look forward to our next visit to support your small business!”
“Good store to pick up good conditon used clothing and many other household items. Also a good place to donate things that you no longer need. Pieces are very reasonable.”
“I’ve been shopping here for almost 3 years and I always find something great every time I stop in! One of my favorite places to shop for special one of a kind pieces. *edit - took off one star because not always open when Google Maps says they are. I just went at 1 pm on a Saturday when they were open according to Google Maps and the door was locked all lights off.”
“This is a well stocked store with two floors of merchandise. The staff is friendly. Most of the items are in excellent condition and the store is kept fairly orderly.”
“I wanted to leave an honest review because I’ve had mixed feelings about this location over time. There was an employee named Amber who used to work here that made racist comments and was rude to customers, which honestly made me hesitant about returning. However, I do appreciate that the situation was taken seriously and that she was ultimately fired because of her behavior. It made me feel better knowing accountability was taken seriously.
Since then, I’ve also noticed changes in management. While I’m happy with the outcome regarding that situation, I personally preferred the previous management style. The former manager seemed to have a stronger handle on the store overall and created a better atmosphere. With the newer management, I’ve sometimes gotten the impression that interactions with employees can come across as unfair or a bit cocky at times, which affects the environment of the store.
That being said, I’ve also learned more about how Plato’s Closet works as a business. A lot of people come in expecting to sell everything, but it’s important to remember that this is a resale store with limited inventory space, especially since it’s one of the only Plato’s Closet locations on Long Island. They can only take what fits their current inventory needs, trends, and season.
I also learned pretty quickly that when you sell clothes to any resale business, the payout is usually going to feel low compared to what you originally paid or what you think the item is worth. That’s simply how buy-and-resell businesses operate because they still need room to profit when they resell the items. If you want full value for your clothes, selling independently on apps like Depop, Poshmark, or Facebook Marketplace may be the better option — but that also usually takes more time, effort, and patience.
Overall, while I’ve had concerns in the past and still have some opinions about the current management approach, I can appreciate that improvements were made in certain areas, and I think it’s important for people to understand how the resale process works before going in.”
