| - Where to start with Trend...
I was just there on Saturday, and as I often do, had a wonderful shopping experience. I've been coming here for years, and rarely leave the store empty handed. On one occasion I found a pair of Paige Premium Denim jeans for $35, score!
The staff are really helpful, and their effort & friendliness is certainly more than second-hand. The layout is nice, quite spacious, and well organized. They have jewellery cases, and high-end items are neatly segregated.
So why the 3 stars?
As a consignor, I've had less than lovely experiences with Trend. They take weeks (up to 5), to bring your items into store inventory, and on at least three separate occasions they've lost items. I'm not talking cotton t-shirts worth $20, I mean leather handbags & designer sunglasses.
And I keep going back because...
I truly believe they're the best consignment shop in the city. They have a lot of stock, awesome staff, and they price items fairly. Obviously they need stay in business & make money for the consignors, but they make a full-outfit makeover possible on a $150 budget.
Love/Hate Relationship I suppose. During my last visit another consignor came in with a few boxes of high-ticket goods. She made a point of taking certain items out and showing the staff, in a friendly "I know these $1000 shoes are in here, so I'd better see them on the shelf in a few weeks, capisce?" kinda way... :)
Could be a good tip for you fashionistas.
