Déjà New

Like another reviewer. I love this store and don’t want anyone else to know about it ! I bought 4 pairs of jeans 1 Hudson, 1 kut, 2 old navy, Nine West heels, merona sweater, White House black
Market sweater, Ralph Lauren sweater, cute red purse all for $ 52 !! I would have shopped more but my little one was having a melt down. All employees were helpful. Very clean store. Great inventory. I can’t wait to go back !

This place always has sales. The clothes here is in great or new condition plus when you shop here you help women get help in finding and preparing for a
always surprise at the items I find.

This thrift store is a hidden gem. They have lots of buy sell trade items and they also help donate to one of the women’s shelters or something like that around the area.
THey have certain sales or advertise for warehouse sales and different things going on so they are very involved in the community or at least it would appear that way! They have been around for a long time as far as I know as well.
They are sort of like boutique-​ish like more than anything but it kind of depends on what they have in at the time. Whoever picks out what they sell has very good taste because you can fid all sorts of different styles and different things. Something for everyone!

I love this place. Ginger is super nice and so helpful. I have so much fun shopping here.
I always find something to buy each time I visit. The boutique is always look nice and organzided

Deja New is an amazing store with tons of good quality and brands at affordable prices! I am totally in love with the store && i highly recommend coming on Thursdays since they have new invetory every week!

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. I have never felt so unwelcome … Usually when I walk into a store, I get greeted by an associate but here I had to wait to say hello after walking in so that they can greet me even though they clearly saw me … So as me and my mom continued to walk around the two ladies at the register giggled to themselves «they look lost». And I’ll admit we were lost because it was hard to find the store and the store setting is a bit confusing … But that doesn’t excuse what happened to us .How can a store associate say that about a costumer, and they said it without any shame… They were pretty loud and snotty. My mother got upset and responded «no we aren’t lost» and one of the ladies had just looked at her, didn’t apologize or anything… We left right away. NEVER WILL I EVER COME AGAIN.

Came here again today and bought another great red skirt from Worthington for only 7.52!
I will definitely return when I have free time on Saturdays!

Great store. great prices. I love buying my work clothes here. The quality is the best of any other places I have been.

Beautiful, high-​quality clothing for amazing prices!!! This place is well-​stocked with designer brands. Customer service is outstanding as well. They have regular sales, discounting even further their already great prices. Accessible location with easy parking. Well worth the trip to Orange County!

I love shopping at Deja New because they have the best deals, and it’s designer clothing! You definitely cannot find better deals elsewhere. Every week there are items on sale for $ 5, so you should follow and like them on Facebook to know them.
The boutique is always looking amazing, organized, and beautifully arranged. Love how they style the mannequins and it always smells wonderful in there. It is very inviting and welcoming.
When I went to shop Ginger and Rosario helped me find exactly what I was looking for. They provided amazing personal shopping services. They are friendly, sweet and so helpful! I was one happy shopper, and will continue shopping here.

I had such a lovely experience on «Black Friday.» This is my 1^st time coming to Deja New although I realized after speaking to their staff member Ginger, I volunteered with WHW over 10 years ago! It wasn’t until the last few years Deja New was born.
The target audience is quite wide, my guess would be women in their early 30s to late 50s? Selection isn’t overwhelming, as there are about 6 – 8 rows of clothing ranging from bottoms to jackets to skirts to shirts and dresses. I don’t recall seeing any men’s clothing. Clothing rooms available to try on stuff.
The day I went, there wasn’t much accessories left, maybe they were already bought since the lady mentioned that there was a line waiting to get in upon opening. Nicer jewelry in the glass case at the counter.
I left with a Marc Jacobs skirt, Kut jeans, Ann Taylor Top, ring, necklace, RayBan sunglasses, and another shirt for $ 32.xx including tax. The «Black Friday» sale was awesome, everything 50% off sticker price and all clearance items for $ 1. Also, when you check into Unilocal,you get another $ 5 off of $ 20+. Sign up for their email newsletters and get a $ 5 welcome coupon.
Deja New is located in a small strip of office buildings, near an industrial area, with a large parking lot. Lots of banners/​signs on premise and in front of their doors, can’t miss it.
Thanks for the great conversation! I hope to visit again soon, just wish there were more store hours and that you aren’t located so far away from me.

Awesome store but don’t tell anybody! I’m selfish and want to keep it all to myself LOL. Sign up for the mailing list to be notified of future sales. All proceed go to WHW (Women Helping Woman). The store is only open for limited hours Thursday through Saturday. Every Thursday a new category of clothing goes on sale. Today all tops and sweaters were marked down to $ 5.00 Whoot!
Write a Unilocal review while are in the store and the sweet ladies will give you $ 5.00 off. Check in on Unilocal each time you visit the store and you will receive $ 5.00 off each time you visit and check in. In addition to the weekly sales they have going on, there is a rack up front that has 50 percent and 75 percent off items. There is a room up front with 75 percent off shoes.
I saw Michael Kors, Escada, Kensie, Ann Taylor, Chicos, Ralph Lauren, Theory and lots more. They also carry purses and jewelry.
Deja New is a hidden gem located in a strip mall off 17^th Street in Costa Mesa & the ladies who volunteer here are the sweetest!

Came here with my wife after finding this place on Unilocal… We decided to check it out because of all the great reviews!
This place is a hidden gem in Costa Mesa!
My wife says they have designer/​name brand shoes, hand bags, pants and shirts mainly for women for really cheap! And we mean really cheap!
The staff is great. Ginger was so helpful and is well aware of great outfits to pick out! Ginger signed my wife up for a Personal Shopping Services which eliminates us having to go into the store and sends her pictures of outfits that are tailored to my wife’s style!
All n’ all this place is a triple win!

I got clued into Deja New through Sandya N, and what a find! So far I’ve only been once, for a special evening event, where I found some amazing deals on clothes and shoes. I even won the raffle prize of a brand-​new Kenneth Cole Reaction tote – perfect for work, woot! I love what this nonprofit organization does and I’m happy to help if it means I have to SHOP (oh darn)! The store’s presentation and merchandise are definitely a cut way above ordinary thrift stores and you’ll surprised at what you may find (and how little it costs, especially if you make it to one of their special events).
STEPH JUDGEMENT: A thrift boutique that’s high on style, value, and community enrichment!

Well, it was fun while it lasted, but Déjà New is back to being a clothing store just for women. I’m keeping their five star rating for the following reasons:
— It’s still a five star store, I just can’t wear anything that they sell.
— WHW is a great cause.
— The volunteers here are very cool.
— They are now open until 4 pm on Saturdays.
— They have plenty of great deals on men’s clothes, women’s clothes, and a bunch of other stuff at the quarterly sales that are held at their Santa Ana HQ.
— My wife loves Déjà New, and I love how great she looks in their clothes!

Slam your breaks! This place a must, before hitting the commercial shops. fashionable style clothes and shoes… much more!

First of all I came in to déjà new thinking it was another thrift store. I was totally wrong! When I walked in I was impressed by the beautiful displays they had when you first walk in. Everything was very colorful and the clothes were in excellent condition.
I was greeted by ginger she immediately welcomed me and asked if I had been to déjà new before. I said no and told her it was my first time. Ginger went beyond to give me a tour of the place and gave me background information as to why déjà new is unique. I had no idea that my purchases were going to go to a good cause.
I found a Michael Kors blouse for five dollars unbelievable. Ginger mentioned they have weekly sales. I signed up to their mailing list I’m looking forward to receiving their emails and sales.
Overall prices are great and very reasonable. Clothes are in excellent condition. Most important for me is that they are very organized and everything is sized. They do have fitting rooms small ones.
I do have to admit that it was very hot in there. It discouraged me from wanting to try on my clothes, but ginger was too kind to offer me water and convinced me to try them on. I walked out with a bag filled with five dollar blouses. I will definitely come back again and will refer my friends.

As far as used clothing stores are concerned, this one tops the list out of them all. However, if you’re used to spending hundreds for brand new items you find at Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, and Neiman Marcus, then you would be sorely disappointed in this place, since their slightly used clothing could not possibly meet up to your exquisite taste.
For the rest of us, however, who are just not too picky about our clothing, we will settle with the rags we can find here, since we don’t know any better and have such crappy cheap taste.
Ok, now, with all sarcasm aside, I looked up all the highest reviewed used clothing stores in OC and visited them all and that’s how I know this place wins. It wins for the following reasons:
1) They organize everything by size so that you can go straight to the sizes you know will fit you and avoid wasting countless hours sifting through everything else.
2) The dressing rooms are comfy and big enough and carpeted, so you don’t have to get grossed out, stepping on pieces of hair or whatnots.
3) They do a great job of picking out the cream of the crop of used clothing, because you normally don’t find stains or rips on things here, and almost everything you pick up is a high-​quality brand.
4) This is the biggest reason I love this place: I can look through all their racks and in 10 minutes, find six things I want to try on that are nice. Out of those six, usually four fit. With other thrift shops, it would take me 45 minutes to find that same number of items, IF I was lucky, but they won’t be high quality brands, at least one will have a rip or stain, and most annoyingly of all, maybe only one of those items will even fit and look good. That’s because the person donating, hated the item due to a flaw and then you end up with it, seeing the same flaw or ill-​fit. The people who donate items to Deja New are more likely to donate stuff that is truly nice for some reason! Either that, or the volunteers just do a superb job at sifting through it to find the best of the best.
So, in the end, the prices are higher than goodwill, or some other thrift stores, but it’s truly worth it, considering you’re getting the best of the best (for those of us who are not picky about what we wear).
One thing to note however, is that if you’re the t-​shirt casual type, you won’t find much of that here. They sell mostly business casual and professional clothing. I’ve been here maybe six times and I’ve found anywhere from one to six items every single time, so I’m also not sure where anyone gets off saying the selection is iffy. So be it, the more clothing for me.

Operated by the nonprofit Women Helping Women, Deja New sells used brand name items at a fraction of the price. The selection is sometimes really iffy because it’s limited and doesn’t come in my size or style. I’ve seen some great finds while other times I’ve found nothing and come home empty handed.
If you’re not too picky, you can find a lot of good clothing. Usually by the time I get down there, most of the clothes are bought up or saved for other people. A lot of the goods are old designer brands and a mix of H&M, Gap, J. Crew, Old Navy, etc. I’ve gotten nice boots from their $ 5 week sale only because I was available to drive down during the weekday. It’s not really easy to get down to Deja New because it is at the end of the 55 fwy in Costa Mesa/​Newport Beach (gets trafficy at the end) and they are only open a small period of time (Thurs — Fri 11 am — 2 pm & Sat 9 am — 1 pm).
If I came during the weekend, I’m pretty sure there wouldn’t be much selection left in terms of clothing and shoes. The ladies who work there try to get you to spend more by suggesting other clothes to mix and match. They are nice and helpful.
If you decide to use their $ 5 off coupon from their email, you will need to print it out. They will not accept it on your phone. Sigh they want the paper print out for their records.
Also, if you have a Women Helping Women or Men Helping Men gift certificate, you must have the recipient there when making your purchase. It’s nontransferable and can only be used by the recipient.
They have a night out event once a month where they are open later than usual. I wouldn’t suggest going to those because you’ll have to fight over clothes unless you like doing that.
Not sure why they charge sales tax? Most of the nonprofit stores I’ve shopped at don’t charge tax (Goodwill and Salvation Army).
There isn’t much selection for men fyi. It’s like one tiny side for guys. I guess they removed the guy’s section since it wasn’t moving fast enough.
UPDATE: They open longer on Saturdays now.
Sat 9:00 am — 4:00 pm

Review Number. FIVE… HUNDRED! WHAAAT!!! Yeah, it’s crazy how these reviews have flown by and with a landmark achievement like this I had to recognize an equally (if not more) remarkable business to mark this milestone. Deja New is by far my favorite find from 2013 and while I’m tempted to keep this gem a secret, the organization’s mission statement is one that shouldn’t be.
As an upscale boutique, Deja New’s revenue supports services to help put women back to work and let me tell you this shop truly is every fashionista’s dream. Racks are filled with contemporary and designer pieces at a huge discount and item’s are curated so only the best make it to the show-​room. I’ve seen everything from Ann Taylor to Armani and everything in between! It’s really a gold mine here and I almost never leave the shop without a purchase. Inventory changes constantly as donations are brought it daily — so, visiting regularly is a must!
I love shopping as much as the next girl, but it’s twice as nice knowing that my dollars are promoting a worthwhile cause. Thank you Deja New for all that you do — you’ve done wonders for my closet, but more importantly you’ve given women the opportunity to achieve financial independence and that’s something money can’t buy! :)
