A cool vibe thrift shop. I got an amazing condition wool long coat for only 90$. Lovely place!

This is about the male clothing section only. It used to be so good a couple years but now, the male clothing section is awful. And they don't buy a male clothes either. Everything in the mail section feels gross to touch and wear. Everything feels like it's going to fall apart in one to two washes. Then they'll tell you that all the male clothes you're trying to drop off to sell is too worn when it's in better condition than half the stuff in there. They have a jacket that's been there for over 3 years. So I don't think whoever does the buying is actually checking what's in the male section?

Bought some limited edition Doc Martens over the phone and had them shipped several states over. I was naturally a little skeptical of the process but they arrived just like the pictures on their Instagram! The person on the phone was professional and they were packaged carefully.

I’ve bought and sold garments here several times over the past few years. the store is always well kept and curated with reasonable consignment prices. my experiences with various staff members have always been positive. you should expect to spend more than you would at a thrift store but much less than you would in a mall.

I had a really disappointing experience at Black and Brown Thrift Shop. I came in on a Sunday to sell a few items and was told they don't purchase on Sundays -- fair enough. I was instructed to return during weekday purchasing hours and was warned that since the items were out of season, the price might be lower, which I understood. I came back on a Tuesday, well within their stated buying hours, only to be met with an unwelcoming and dismissive attitude from the owner. Not only was I treated as if I was inconveniencing them, but I was also told I had somehow "missed the window," even though I was following their exact instructions. The tone was entitled and unprofessional, and it felt like they just didn't want to deal with me. It's unfortunate because I was hoping to support a local business, but based on this experience, I won't be returning -- either as a seller or a shopper as most items are severely overpriced compared to other thrift and vintage stores in the area. It's hard to justify shopping here when you can find similar pieces elsewhere for a fraction of the cost.. There are plenty of other shops in the area that treat people with respect and transparency.
