I was really excited to visit Repeter after all of the pleasant reviews, but this time it was over hyped and not what I imagined.

I went in and glanced over at the two women sprawled out on the seats facing the door, and decided that they must work at Repeter. They glanced back at me but didn't say anything.

"Okay..." I thought, and began perusing the dresses. I was expected prices like Afterwards in Menlo Park (aka $$$) but a cute dress that caught my eye was only $22. It wasn't that great, however, so I put it back on the rack. Then I checked over the shoes, then the pants and skirts, and it's then, about five minutes AFTER I enter the store that the women get up, and one of them says in a flat voice "Hi".

I don't bother to say anything in return, because they have both disappeared to the sectioned off area that nestles a minute dressing room.

Rude service, the end. I don't really have any interest in going back. Repeter was not as special as the 5 star reviews make it out to be.

3.5 stars - what a nice consignment store (one of many in downtown Los Altos!), not too big and a nice selection.  The decor is very nice and doesn't feel/look like a consignment store (no old or used clothes smell).  

It was hot and my feet hurted...so I really wanted to find something to change into.  I found couple pairs of shoes under $20 each.  On the way out, found a really cute top for less than $10.  

While looking at the purses, the lady next to me (must be a regular there) said the purses on this side are reproduction as reflected by the price but check out the real ones on the other side...

The sales person (I think she may be the owner) was very nice...I am looking forward to coming back.

I've had my reservations going into consignment stores not because they sell second-hand clothes but because I do not have the patience to weed through hundreds of garments which are normally dis-organized and looked "used."  Unlike this aformentioned description, repeter does not fit that bill.  They may sell used clothes but they do so with flair.  Owners Kellee and Kara do a fine job displaying their clothing and accessories in a boutique style atmosphere with a keen eye for a la mode and brand name clothes.  I enjoy my time in this shop chatting with kellee and seeing what's new.  I suggest you do the same.

This place is a great find in downtown Los Altos.  The decor is adorable and the variety of clothing is great, despite the store being so small.  Everything is well-organized by color and size, and the purse and shoe selection is well-displayed as well.  It reminds me of a terrific consignment store that unfortunately closed a few years ago -- Timeless -- in downtown Palo Alto.  Like Timeless, the owner of Repeter is very friendly and engaging, and truly seems to care about her customers.  I love coming in here just to browse, even if I'm not in the market to buy anything.

Great selection of quality unsual cool clothing. Not the ordinary consignment cluttered smelly store. Interesting pieces and authentic designer handbags. Not open on Mondays.

I love this place, even if just to browse.  You can tell they are specific about what they display.  Great upscale quality - nothing like what you would expect from a typical consignment store- old, outdated clothes with that musty smell.  Great place with a cute name for their store.
