The Attic Manayunk

Cool spot to shop. Great hours. Wish they had a bigger men’s section, but the women’s section has lots of options. So, your girlfriend/​wife should have plenty of options to choose from.
Will be back!

EXCEPTIONAL customer service! I am a first-​time consigner at The Attic and when I consigned this past summer, it was shortly before I moved. I forgot to update my new address with them and of course my check went missing in the mail. I called to see if they could issue me a new one and Dani, the manager, was extremely helpful! She called me back, exactly as she said she would, she was very prompt, very courteous and very helpful! if you ever want to consign in the Philly-​area, I HIGHLY recommend The Attic due to their wonderful and helpful service, led by the lovely Dani! Thanks so much for everything Dani! :)

For the most part I’ve had a great experience consigning with The Attic. There has only been one incident where a pair of shoes, left for secondary review, were lost and I never received any follow up from a manager or anyone. Aside from that, it’s been a pretty smooth process. I would recommend to friends, but just advise them to keep track of their items separately since that might be the only part lacking on the store’s end.

4 stars for shopping, but 2 stars for consigning. I’ve had a lot of problems with them when consigning here. Didn’t get my check for many months and had to keep calling and eventually went in to get it straightened out. They finally sent my check but said there was some kind of glitch in the system, so basically I got the impression if I had not asked for the check it would have never been sent. Then I consigned there again and I had to call 3 times to get them to email me my contract. The people who work there are friendly but it seems that on the administrative level things are not very organized or efficient.

Great place but took almost a month for them to ship my check. All of my items sold and my account was closed in late March (2015) and its late May and I still haven’t received my check for my items. I’ve been super frustrated bc I live near Attic and I could’ve easily just picked up my check. Not sure why I have to wait so long.

They have a nice selection but some things seen to be a little over priced compared to buffalo exchange and some other exchange type stores in the Philadelphia area.

I went in to sell items in my closet that do not fit anymore. Brought an assortment of cute items, including a pink pencil skirt from New York and Co that still has the $ 42 tag on it, and a Hello Miss black polka dot dress among other things. I was told my items were a bit too professional for the store, no problem there (although someone is really at a loss for that pink skirt) but I was told my dress buttons were «a little loose»…they’re decorative buttons on the dress, not that loose at all. It retails for $ 45 at boutiques.
Sales woman was very friendly and nice, clothes were just alright. Nothing special, however prices were appropriate for second hand items.
I would like to see a larger range of clothes, most were shabby and a few seasons old. I’ll try again in the fall.

Very friendly service and reasonable prices. Hooked me up with a discount when informed I’ve never been

I had this bookmarked on my Unilocal account for quite some time as I will be moving a few miles away. As a self-​declared expert of consignment and thrift stores, I have high expectations.
Although this store is small in the inventory is limited, it has a fantastic collection of unique pieces at even better prices. The items are organized in a way which allows shoppers to quickly find their size and or a particular category of clothing.
I can’t speak to the consignment or trade experience as I only stopped by briefly to shop, I will definitely be back again

Best used vintage fashion boutique I have ever visited! The owner is friendly, the price is definitely affordable, anyone can find something kinda store.
There are many women clothing, shoes, jewelries, watched, collectibles like mugs, music boxes, rings. There are some men’s as well but they are mainly in the back. There are also some leather boots and a selection of handbags.
My favorite of all is that this store is a combination of all the previous individual sellers items hand picked by the owner. A lot of places you wonder where they get their items from, this place gets it right from your closet. They take two bags at a time no matter how big or small and they will issue store credit at 50 percent value or cash at 30 percent.
Follow their Instagram online to see what they got: theatticmanayunk. They also have a few other stores around Philadelphia that you can take your credits to.
Just don’t lose the paper voucher!

Pretty good items… I have gone multiple occasions and I usually walk out with an item or two… some items are alittle overpriced, but overall a good consignment store to check out.

I’ve stopped in here a few times this month gathering supplies for my Halloween costume. I’m going as a flapper. So far I’ve found shoes, jewelry, and a headband. I’ve perused the rest of the store and it seems like a typical plato’s closet. Most stuff is pretty cheap… I found a bracelet with a $ 50 original price tag that I got for $ 8. I haven’t tried to buy anything fancy, not have I tried to sell anything here, but it seems pretty typical and they’ve been there a few years now so they must be making money!

I wouldn’t say I am a vintage clothes lover but I do LOVE to find items that other people have loved and given away. The price tag helps too!
This store always has such an ecclectic and amazing variety of clothes in every form to sift and look through. The quality in their stash is top notch and the selection is definitely well thought out by the shop owners and people who work there!
For a few years I had been in love with a particular white Volcom knit sweater but the $ 80 price was well… let’s just say I could never really justify spending that on a sweater! So, to the back of the mental clothes love list it went to be forgotten eventually (if Pinterest were available at the time it would have been on my obsession list).
I just happened to be taking a walk on Main one morning and decided while I was one of the only people taking a stroll I would pop in to see what they had out of curiousity. Well, when I walked over to the sweaters rack wouldn’t you know that the same sweater I had been fawning over for a year was just staring at me for a measley $ 5 dollars! I didn’t have my wallet and I started to panic.
When I approached the girl at the counter, slightly embarassed, I explained that I lived right up the street and that I had been wanting the sweater that I hugged tightly in my arms for over a year and just wanted a chance to go home and get my wallet and run back to pick it up. She smiled and was happy to hold it until I came back and come back I did! (I still have this sweater hanging in my closet)
If you want to find a trendy outfit for on the go or for a semi-​formal party this is the place to check out on a budget!

I’m the lead singer of a touring group based in Philly. My image and style are important to me. I constantly need to be kept in good quality, fashionable clothing, with new styles, and conveniently priced. I want to look good all the time and do it on a starving artists budget. So like 80% of my wardrobe comes from the attic. You can’t really beat it… and i’ve done my fair share of consignment store shopping. Thanks for keeping it real guys.

I like shopping at the attic and bringing my clothes in for consignment. The staff is helpful, they pay well, and I always take the credit to buy new clothes and accessories! I always see something in the window that I love — just a bummer its not always in my size :) My boyfriend is a huge fan as well. Very nice staff and very nice finds!
I’m glad to have a place like this on Main Street!

A nice vintage consignment shop, with some cool clothing, but some items are not worth the price on the tag. If you’re looking to sale some of your old clothing: they will only accepts items that were in style or in the mall within the last two years, or something that they think, they can sell. If you have the time I suggest you stop and see what you can find.

The Attic is the perfect place to head to when you need a last minute going out outfit or want to find a dress to that wedding where you don’t really know the bride or the groom.
This isn’t your typical «Plato’s Closet» and not everything is from Forever21, Aeropostale or Hollister. Hallelujah! They have a variety of sizes clothing wise, a decent selection of shoes and jewelry that’s a steal. I’ve found a $ 150 J. Crew dress (tags still on!) for $ 15! Now, ladies… that’s a deal if there ever was one!
On the consigning side of things, they take what they want and need and give you a fair price for what they gather out of your belongings. Many times I’ve brought in huge bags of clothes to only have them take one or two (or none) items I brought it. Don’t get fussy with the girls in the store if they don’t take what you bring. Run it up the road to Green Street and see if there’s anything in there that they want!

So I just bought the most ridiculous thing that I’ve ever purchased, and the purchase took place here, at the Attic. I wandered in with my wife on a Sunday afternoon, and while she perused the vast collection of women’s clothes, I spotted an attractive pair of brown leather loafers in the window. I went and checked them out, and they were my size. I had been intending to buy new brown loafers for a while, so I decided to buy them – $ 35, not bad. I took them up the register and the salesgirl said, «ah, nice, the Guccis.»
«The what now?»
«These are Gucci shoes. They are real – we authenticated them – and we just got them in.»
«Huh, OK. Well they’re $ 35, right?»
«Yes.»
And that is how I came to own the most ostentatious possession I’ve ever owned.
But back to the point: the Attic seems to be a decent consignment shop. The staff is very pleasant, and they have some out of the ordinary items (like said shoes). They definitely have more of a men’s selection than Greene St, including more accessories like shoes and hats. Check them out if you’re in the neighborhood.

I don’t remember the last time I was in Manayunk, but it was probably shortly after high school, so we’re going back nearly a decade. I just don’t make it out to this part of town because I have bad memories of parking and overpriced shops.
But this past Saturday, my husband, a friend, and I happened to be in the neighborhood for lunch. Manayunk is cuter than I remember. I convinced my husband and friend to go get a beer while I did a little shopping after lunch. I ended up spending over a half-​hour shopping in the Attic because it had both a great assortment of seasonal clothing and a fantastic mix of music playing in the background. Plus, I didn’t feel pressured to buy anything.
I did end up finding a pair of brown leather gloves which I wore right out of the store. I also purchased a cute little sweater. The prices were okay, pretty much what I’m used to paying in city consignment shops. If I happen to find myself in ‘yunk again, I will definitely make my way to this little shop. I hit two other consignment shops that afternoon, and they were not nearly as good as this one.

So much stuff to look through! Mostly lightly-​used bags, shoes, clothes, jewelry, menswear… you name it. I popped in here the other day just to browse around. I didn’t buy anything, but I could imagine finding something on another occasion.
Everything is well organized, and the store isn’t cramped. They had some cute jackets and sweaters, and lots of bags and shoes. Things ranged from no-​name brands to Abercrombie to designer, though mostly in the mid-​range «stuff you’d find at the mall» category.
The best part this time of year though were the halloween costumes! They had some great pieces (full-​out jumpsuits, Igor mask) as well as pieces they grouped together along with a costume suggestion (e.g. Hoedown girl, Paris Hilton). If you’re looking for a costume ideas or need one thing to complete your costume, I suggest checking this place out!
