Bummer. Another one of "those"
This is, sadly, the kind of thrift store that upon first glance looks as though it will be an impressive den of vintage deals, but once you are in here for 30 seconds and look at a few racks, you quickly find that it's a half-assed attempt at vintage heaven and most of the offerings are crap and totally over-priced. Hate that!
Oh well, luckily I know where the other vintage awesomeness can be found around the US of A, so I can use my degree in Vintage Shopping from the School of Life elsewhere, hehe :)
The tall, thin brunette working here was really sweet though, so they keep a star for that :)
Fairly well-edited although they tend to run dry towards the end of the season. Some of the prices are expectedly high (3.1 Phillip Lim, Missoni) while others are ridiculous ($60 for a headband). Good place to find transitional clothing (work wear into evening), decent selection of designer jeans and semi-precious jewelry. That said, they are not adventurous or experimental so don't come here looking for the avant garde. It's safe and expensive clothing with a nice range of party dresses- particularly during the holidays.
Give them your info. and they will send you a $20 off coupon for your birthday.
I know, I know- it is not open anymore. But the owner had the best taste in jewelry I have ever seen. It literally changed my jewelry buying focus. I am so sad they closed- I hope they open somewhere else.
Interesting store and quite a few selections of Missoni pieces from cardigans to gloves. Nice selection of jewelery section and definitely some decent collection but I still prefer the selections at my friend's store. :)
I very edited selection of women's clothing and some accessories...and by edited I mean small....very small. There are some great pieces and prices can be reasonable to not so reasonable. I like the set up--- open space and dark, but it doesn't seem best for shopping. There are so many great stores in the area. If you find nothing in the other ones, then come here, but not the other way around.
Jade is a great place to find remarkable sophisticated and classy clothing with a touch of youth. Although the interior decor leaves something to be desired, it all for all the attention to be focused on the centerpiece of the store, namely the clothing. Apparel of all genres can be found here with prices ranging from reasonable to high. Some of the more fashionable items for sale are wrap dresses, a-line skirts, super fine knits, as well as the perfect pants for work or play.
Very friendly staff. i bought a pair of shoes and a few days later I received a thank you post card. Not an email! how fun is that! I also received a gift card for my birthday coming up...and the best part is, that I dont remember giving them all this information. They must have made it easy and fun while collecting my info, i was not annoyed to give my info. They have very nice selection of everything, the boutique is not crowded, merchandizing is great, however, i remember it when it was Xcito, they should try changing something around so i dont think its the same store. i will definately come back. it is a little pricey, but worth it!
