Couture Blowout

This place carries all high end name brand resale. It’s not cheap compared to most resale shops, but this place is top on the line.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Bought my Prada’s for $ 135 and they looked brand new! Always nice handbags!

I was really disappointed with this store.
I made sure to check the hours and it stated that they opened at 11am. When I got there at 11:30, the store was still closed and the light was turned off.
I was really excited to visit the store and that day was my only day in town but ended up walking away with a bad taste in my mouth.

Stay away! Very unprofessional business
I am a stylist and I clean out my clients closets so I have a ton of designer items! I stumbled upon this place one day and thought they had a good selection of designer clothing. The lady told me to bring some items in so I did, about 40 pieces. They told me it would take two weeks to put out but to call back in a month to see what sold. I call a month later to only be told that NONE of my product was put out, and that someone was suppose to call me weeks ago. (But of course they didn’t)
Not only did no one call me to tell me my product was sitting in a box in the back I had to call! Are you kidding me? So I go in to pick it up the lady barley said two words to me and brings out a torn up bag with my stuff. When I asked why no one called me or my product wasn’t put out I was told it was to old.
1. This is a consignment shop it’s all older product
2. Half of my stuff was NEW with tags
3. No one even called to tell me! What a waist of my time
To top it all off I get home and some of my designer items are missing! I’ve tried calling and no one picks up the phone ever! I am so pissed at the lack of professionalism I feel like my time was waisted and that I was robbed
I have never written a review for anything! But I feel like this is unexceptable and people should no! There are much better places to consign in Houston never go to this dump!

Livin large on a tiny budget? Or perhaps livin too large and need to downsize? This is your place to either purchase some incredible deals or resell some of your fancy lovelies!
I brought in a few items that I don’t have any space for anymore. Sometimes you get really nice gifts with the best of intentions and you have to use them or wear them a few times for the giver’s benefit. («OH! I LOVE THIS! I CAN’T WAIT TO WEAR IT!» while on the inside cringing.) Then… you can bring them here where you can get 40% of the sale price. Unsold items are subject to a price reduction after 30 days and unsold merch is the property of the shop after 120 days. You can pick up your items after 90 days (with a $ 15 admin fee if picked up before then).
Anyway, lots of great items to be had here — all name brand designers and all in super shape. The owner knows her stuff and I would recommend those on a budget to come here to take a look around!

Nice place. Clean. Good selection but many items are grossly overpriced. The store needs better organization, the sizes were all mixed together.

This is the more «downscale» location of Fatou’s 2 shops by this name… but it’s still full of great designer duds in excellent condition at very fair prices. And there’s really nothing downscale about it. The shop is clean, well-​stocked (with a nifty clearance section near the changing rooms) and the staff is always friendly. No snooty staff here! I’ve picked up Hermes, Armani and Chanel at this location on the (relatively) cheap, all the while chatting with very human salespeople. One of my favorite Houston haunts!
Parking isn’t exactly ample, but there are a few spaces immediately in front of the shop and a few more in the adjacent Torchy’s lot. It’s just about right for the area.

Have only been a couple of times, purchased once. Fatou is amazing. So kind and helpful. This place is a gem, if you are dying to get couture and designer pieces on a budget you must make a stop by and visit Fatou.

The Couture Blowout on Westheimer is stocked with the very high end designers, the Shepherd location is the «down to earth» version. They do have plenty of high end labels, but they also have «mid level» designer clothes.
Recently I’ve picked up a Bloomingdale’s black tunic that looks great with leggings and a blazer, and a silk Prada blouse that I plan to wear belted with a mini skirt.
I especially like the sale rack in the back room. Items there are anywhere from 30% to 70% off their already good prices.
If you’re looking for some special designer pieces to spice up your wardrobe but are a bargain hunter like me, this is the place for you.

With her expansion to another location, Fatou is amazing at what she does and that is a great eye for fashion. She is every changing her merchandise and has amazing designer pieces for extremely reasonable prices. Each store so different except that they have one thing in common which is the best designer pieces in town.

Surrounded by mostly thrift shops, this designer resale boutique is excellently edited and has quite a collection of lightly worn designer (Chanel, Gucci, D&G) clothes. The merchandise is as good as you will find in New York consignment stores — maybe even a little better — and the owner is very nice.

Ok, I have to admit that I have an addiction!
Couture Blowout is a new store that re-​sells high-​end designer goods. Owner Fatou Fall, has finally taken her operation to a store front! She consigns pieces from all of the top desingers including: Dior, Chanel, Gucci, Etro, Hermes, Chloe, McQueen, Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Prada, LV, Burberry, Dolce and Gabbana, Valentino, Versace, etc. I’ve been shopping with Fatou for about a year now and always find something that I love. Her prices are fair and you can always find a bargain. And by bargain I mean things that retail for $ 5000 that she is selling for $ 450, after all it is Couture! She gets her merchandise from the closets of the «ladies who lunch» and has a keen eye for style. Her inventory changes quickly so make sure you stop by often. It’s easy to find her store as it’s across the street from Buffalo Exchange and in the same shopping center as Café Montrose.
