| - Plato's Closet recently opened in Richmond Hill (Elgin Mills/Leslie). Tonight was my first time at this new location (same owner as Scarborough location).
The shop is so well organized, by category, size and colour. They have a great selection of (mostly) second-hand clothing and accessories, with a few new, unused items as well. They have a small mens section at the back, but the majority of what they stock is women's clothing, shoes, purses, as well as a showcase of jewellery and designer sunglasses. They have a selection of higher-end designer items, but generally the items are very affordable, with well-known labels as Lululemon, BCBG, Kate Spade, True Religion, Coach, Michael Kors, etc..
The shop was super easy to navigate and the staff were friendly. They purchase items from customers (though I did not sell items tonight). They also have convenient hours, staying open late on weekdays. They are definitely more selective than other, large used stores in what they will take in.
The only negative thing which I pointed out to them, was that the staff should be more attentive when they tag the items. I saw a great leather jacket that I would have purchased, but the location in which they attached the price tag resulted in a slight hole in the leather, which prevented me from buying it (it should have been tagged under the arm or in a less visible spot, but it was tagged through the back of the leather below the neck).
Overall, I would recommend this store if you are selling or purchasing, as the selection is great, the store is neat and most importantly, the staff were friendly. Note: they do not carry children's items, though may take some tween size 14 or 16 items.
