Bis Designer Resale

Hmm. Not quite sure what to do here. I dropped off 3 Prada items, 1 Marc Jacobs and 1 TSE dress in 2013. I have called (the owner has to help you, please call back) and stopped by the store (the owner has to help you, she is not here), every few months since then with my latest visit (leaving my telephone number and a note) on June 16^th, 2015, and the owner still has yet to return my phone call.
Did you sell my Prada sleevless dress? Prada skirt? Prada scoop-​neck dress? It shouldn’t have been too hard. My address is on the agreement slip; I was never sent a check.
Did you want to call me? My telephone number is on my agreement slip.
Something smells fishy… and I am a vegetarian.

I have bought and sold clothing there. Buying clothes there… high end clothing with fair Resale prices (not bargains). They know their stuff. The bad news about reselling: I did not contact them right away as I was out of town. They never gave me my money or my clothing back. I did lose the receipt but as a company they should have their records. I know i keep my records with my clients. They do have disclaimer saying if you don’t contact them in 3 months the money (or clothing is theres to keep). Unfortunately, I did not see that. So, for keeping my clothing and money I took off 2 stars… otherwise I would have given them 5.
The other girl who said they have cold demeaners is right. The people who work there are ok, just not warm and friendly.

Bought a Tory Burch blouse for $ 65. My favorite item in my closet currently.

I went in a bit apprehensive as a result of Trisha W’s review. I was very excited after my great experience to come back and report to all my fellow Unilocalers. As soon as I walked in I felt at ease, things were organized nicely and really clean. I went right to the shoes without a peep from the sales woman except to ask to hold my shopping bag. I found some lovely Manolo’s and hung onto it while I looked around– again not bothered by either of the saleswoman. One was chatting happily with a client, another just happy to stand and be at the ready. I spotted a «one of a kind» fitting white coat and was admiring it. When I took it down from the rack the saleslady who was standing around commented on how cool she thought the jacket was and that they had just gotten it and marked it down. I asked to just try it in front of the mirror and she was more than obliging and helpful. She also went to get the other Manolo for me so I could try them together. I put on the jacket and got immediate oohs and ahhs from the saleswomen. After trying on the Manolos they oohed and ahhed again and immediately won me over. They were so happy to help me once I showed interest and were really sweet and never pushy. I really look forward to heading back and hope other Unilocalers go too and have equally as good experiences!

If you’d like to shop at Bis, I suggest having either a thick skin, or a thin waist, because the sales clerks aren’t particularly kind.
They’ve got a decent selection of designer merchandise, though most of it is rather conservative — think Ralph Lauren purple label dress pants, TSE cashmere turtlenecks in beige, Chanel or Burberry worn without irony. However, on the rack of mostly black evening gowns, there was a gorgeous Chloe dress. Emerald green. From the Fall 04 runway show. $ 2300 originally. $ 500 at Bis, marked down to $ 400.
Jesus. People pay $ 400 for Laundry. Or BCBG.
And the saleslady promptly took it out of my hand. «It’s too small for you.»
Certainly. I’m a size 6, and this was a french 36 — so more like a 4 or a 2. But I believe in the magical power of alterations, and I told the woman as much.
«To alter it would ruin it. This is a runway piece, it is for models,» she said, putting the dress back on the rack. «It is not for you.» Ouch.
I spent ten minutes convincing her to let me try it on, («You will ruin it!») and then convincing her that my tailor at home was capable of letting out the seams. When I pointed out that the dress had obviously been in their shop for a while if it had been marked down so much, she finally took it to the register.
«Wear it in good health,» she sniffed.
I’m not particularly happy that Bis has my money (their other employees were frosty, as well) but I’m awfully glad to have the dress.
