Lauren's Closet - Alameda, California

Priscilla

Stopped by because I have been looking for some work clothes. I am so happy I did. They have a lot of clothes for women, babies and toddlers. I found 3 really nice brand new looking blouses for $30. Prices are very reasonable for named brand clothes. Definitely recommend! Everything is nicely organized and clean.

Love this store. I find some great, good quality used clothes for all of my children. Great for birthday gifts for their friends too. Great blend of used and new items. Staff is always friendly as well.

Overpriced. 42 dollars for running shoes and uggs? I know they were lightly worn but honestly… .

Also - brought in a bunch of nice things- she chose nothing and was super bitchy cold and matter of fact about it. After parking and waiting around at least be kind to someone bothering to launder and bring clothes to you. I get you are busy and maybe it wasn’t exactly what you were looking for but it left me with a not pleasant feeling and made me consider to go back in there.

I was really excited to learn about the store, I love Alameda and the Park Street location is convenient. I also love the idea of supporting small businesses, and who doesn’t want to turn clothes that your child has outgrown into (of course less clothes, thats consignment) clothes for their current size? I went here once to check it out, and once again to sell some clothes. It’s a smaller store, but has a small selection at all sizes, nothing super high-end, mostly Carter’s some H&M, North Face, Nike etc. I was able to find a few cute items the first time I shopped.

But the review is mostly based on my second experience, when I tried to sell clothes there. I called ahead to ask about when a good time would be and was told 10-4 during the week, so I planned my trip accordingly. I had brought two shopping totes full of clothes, all in good condition with brands including H&M, Levi’s, baby gap, Janie & Jack, Old Navy, etc. there were two people ahead of me selling, so they said it would be a little while, so I shopped around. Within a few minutes, they told me they’re all done and that they were not going to purchase anything because the styles were older than what they’re currently buying for. I was a little surprised that they were able to look at my items that quickly, but when I went to pick up my bags, it was clear that they did not look inside at all. My girlfriend was with me, and said she saw that they didn’t bother looking at all and just looked at the top item in each. She was going to buy her son a gift, but was so turned off by what she observed that she put it back. Honestly, I find it very disappointing, and a little disrespectful of my time. If nothing fits with their buying strategy that makes perfect sense, but at least have the courtesy to take a look at the items I packed and brought.

Love shopping here. (But as far as selling, it’s better to go to the store next door)
Lauren’s Closet has a good selection for girl clothing but not so much for boy clothing. Not much as far as maternity wear either. I think they should be more discerning with the used shoes they sell though because some of them are quite gross. Accessories, especially earrings, are really cute!

They sell new and used (consignment) clothes as well as new toys, puzzles, books, and more. One side of the store is for babies, toddlers and younger kids. The other side of the store is for adults. They also have clothes for Juniors (sizes 6-8) and older kids (mostly for ages 10-12). Clothing style is fun, simple and stylish. If you pay cash or Venmo, you'll also save 5%.

I’ve been patronizing this store more often lately as we’ve had a grandchild. Absolutely terrific selection and fantastic prices! While on some visits I find more choices than others, I always find 1-2 stand outs: baby pink converses! baby UGGs! Blondie jean jacket!! With both of her folks in the entertainment industry, it’s been a terrific shop to style their little influencer/entertainer 😁

I sold some used clothing. They were very nice and helpful.
