“They have an entire floor downstairs dedicated to upscale furniture and housewares. Designer clothing upstairs and reasonable price. Just don't expect thrift store prices.”
“WE LOVE THIS PLACE!! My sister booked the appointment for me because we are definitely on a budget and it had great reviews. We booked it seven months out from the wedding to give ourselves time to shop around. But WE FOUND THE DRESS! Not only that, but we had a FANTASTIC experience with Missy. She was so sweet and truly considered what I wanted. She pulled dresses I never would have thought would have worked but did, and helped me thoroughly understand the ways they could be altered to fit my personal style. I cannot recommend this place enough. If I could give them extra stars I would!! Definitely recommending them to all my friends getting married!!! Thank you so much, Missy and Fairytale Brides!!!!”
“I discovered this store today with my niece and what a gem! I immediately found some great clothes, and several for a very good deal.
The staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and I can’t wait to go back and bring some more of my friends.
I recommend checking this place out while you are visiting Alexandria.”
“They have sorted and curated only the best items to resale, so this isn’t your ordinary shop, and the prices show. If you want 1/2 price designer duds, pop in here before you bother with the mall, especially if you are small. Not many XLs.”
“I love this consignment shop and have bought several items from here. They have best quality consignment clothing, and shoes in the entire DMV area.
Plus, Jennifer knows fashion and designers, treats her customers really well, doesn't discriminate, and has a positive attitude.”
“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.”
“The volunteers are so sweet and helpful. There are so many treasures to be found. Everything I purchased was lovely. I was so impressed I decided to become a volunteer in the store.”
“I recently moved to the area and received a watch as a birthday gift that needed an adjustment. After finding Rubini Jewelers online, I decided to stop by. The staff was incredibly helpful and not only fixed my watch quickly but also polished my chain necklaces for free! The next day, I realized the watch still needed a slight adjustment, and they took care of it without hesitation and at no additional charge. I am so impressed with the service and attention to detail at Rubini Jewelers, and I will definitely be a returning customer for all my jewelry needs. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional service and quality jewelry!!”
“I get probably 50% of my child’s clothing here. I particularly love how often I find high-quality outdoor clothing that’s perfect for the nature-based preschool she attends.”

“We've been to this merchant a few times. I have a differentability (thank you to my little great niece for changing my perspective ?) and I some times require an aide for walking.My husband and I found some beautiful hand carved canes here and at very reasonable prices. We receive constant compliments going through the airport home and even more when I use them as a walking aide.Purchased hand made leather shoes from here and my son was elated with his gift ?.The staff is always very friendly and you can meet some very interesting people here as well. The store has two levels so don't miss going upstairs. There is definitely a lot to see ? so plan on spending some time to find your treasure.With all that said a little more organization would be nice so you can better see the selection and they have cats all over the place which I was not a fan of. However, my family and I visit here pretty much every time we're in the area and we look forward to viewing their new offerings.Check them out! Hopefully you'll find something interesting of your own in your visit.”

“Big sale right now. Open on some saturdays too. The staff are very friendly and stop to help you find what you are looking for. The building is very large but all items are VERY WELL organized on racks and shelves.”
“Great selection of kids' books, toys and clothing, all in excellent condition. It's clear that a lot of care goes into curating the items. The prices are fair too.”
“D.C.'s gem for designer finds! Ella Rue offers amazing, high-quality pieces and the owners/ staff are welcoming and make you feel at home. My favorite stop in DC; you won't regret the visit!”
“I always find a special piece or 5 .They are selective but curate a nice collection. They have a rack dedicated to fitness clothing which is mostly filled with Lulu. Denim selection is solid as well. The place is small but a gem.”
“Best vintage shop ever! Mercedes is my favorite! She has such a good eye, so her collection is always amazing, and she is fantastic at picking pieces for you that you wouldn’t normally choose but that then become your favorite. I have been blessed to experience this phenomenon many times with Mercedes! She is also just so kind and lovely to chat with. She and her shop are true gems. ?”
“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.”
“The ladies are super helpful and friendly. They carry a nice array of sizes and as a larger than average woman finding things that are cute and unique and not just big is rare in the nicer shops so this one gets a 10/10”
“Not going to lie, the clothes are overpriced for the most part. I think the price on the sweater I got was fine, but most of their shirts were the same price. The sweater I found is super comfortable and gets my partner a lot of compliments!”
“upscale clothes. no trash here. just good and classy. i also like consigning here. most my items sell and if they dont im able to pick them up! been a customer for 14 years”
“Great selection and very nice owner/staff. My aunt and I had a great time shopping around and looking at all the unique, classic pieces. Highly recommend for evening wear, chic work attire and timeless coats and jackets.”
“I have only had positive experiences here. The volunteers who've helped me have been lovely, interesting women. The inventory is pretty incredible, mostly jewelry and home wears. Many things will be listed well under market. To me, it's been a treasure and hope others have good experiences, too.”
“This place is absolutely gorgeous and has a lot of great finds I bought an almost new pair of Nikes for TWENTY BUCKS YOU HEARD ME RIGHT TWENTY. Definitely going here again next time I’m in Maryland.”
“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.”
“I came into this location and was immediately greeted and assisted with the most warm smiles and assertive yet helpful countenances of Kayleigh, Julia, Rachel!!!! They are the epitome of Customer Service and treating with equity!!!!”
“The negative comments about the workers being “rude” “arrogant” confirmed I needed to stop by but everyone there was chill and helpful. Nice designer that’s nicely priced”
“i think they must have some company policy on only taking a max of X number of items from any person coming to consign at once, which is totally fine. i wouldn’t take it personally if they reject your items for consignment - i have kept some of the stuff they rejected and brought it back at other times at which point they took additional items that they previously rejected (can be a seasonality issue, stuff they’re specifically looking for at different times, or just luck of the draw depending on who’s reviewing your items).
to the people saying you’re better off selling on XYZ online platforms that is absolutely true - i mean you’ll obviously get more $$ payoff selling items and keeping 100% of the profit yourself but if you’re lazy, looking for convenience, and especially if you shop here and are part of the ‘ecosystem’ so to say it’s worth to consign and use your sales credit against purchases you make. lots of meh items in their stores but have gotten some of my cutest pieces from a current boutique so you just have to keep a discerning eye”
“Haven’t sold here yet but the customer service was outstanding on the phone! Very impressed; it’s a rarity nowadays to have someone that polite and patient to deal with in a retail situation!”
“If I could give this place 100 stars I would! ❤️ Cannot recommend Wardrobe Rescue enough. Have been shopping and consigning here for years. Whether you are looking for brand new, vintage, classic, or rare pieces Wardrobe Rescue is the best place to go for all your designer and high end needs. Not only does the staff always make me feel welcomed and taken care of, but this place also has some of the most beautiful one of a kind bags, shoes, and clothing ive collected to date. If you are going to buy designer pieces spend your money here with this local business that cares about its customers instead of a big corporation that is just trying to make their next billion.”
“Not the biggest assortment, but certainly worth a look. Fairly good variety of entry, mid and some designer clothes and helpfully very little fast fashion. Most importantly the people running the store are quite nice.”
