Fifi’s Fine Resale

I have never found any clothes in here that I bought but I did buy a couple of purses. I have consigned items and they make it really easy and I like how quick they are and that you don’t have to have an appointment. Nice store and friendly staff. Good prices.

I’m the kind of gal who LOVES the thrill of the hunt (garage sales, thrift stores, antique stores, tjmaxx, flash sales– all YES PLEASE!!), so I had a suspicion Fifi’s would be right up my alley. I was right– I’m a fan & my two experiences shopping here have been satisfactory. They offer a wide selection of casual to mildly dressy apparel and accessories. There’s no limit on how much you can bring to the dressing room, which is helpful for me. I’m pretty sure I tried on a third of the store!
I haven’t brought items in, so i can’t comment on that. I was satisfied with the customer service. I wasn’t asked if I needed anything, but personally I’d rather be left to my own devices and initiate communication if I need anything, so it was all good in my book! The personnel were a bit chatty amongst themselves but they were getting their jobs done– completed my transaction and were working moving/​organizing clothes. This isn’t a high end boutique & I don’t expect to receive the bells and whistles of costumer service.
The only thing holding me back from giving Fifi’s 5 stars is the price. While still affordable, I think the prices could be a weeeee bit lower. However, they do put a large discount on items that have been in the store for a while, which I find quite exciting (items before X date). All items have a date of entry on the tag, to help you determine if the discount applies or not. Easy and fun!
I left this place on both occasions as happy as can be & plan to return frequently (never know what you’ll find)!!

Not as high end as I expected. Lots of jeans and tops but few high end business wear.

Today my 13 year old daughter visited this store as we often do. Unfortunately after today we will never shop there again! As my daughter looked at jeans I browsed the purses… and noticed a girl watching my daughter very closely. Based on her attire I didn’t realize that she worked there. At first I paid it no mind. A few moments later another customer came in. The clerk greeted her with a welcome to Fifi’s! She did NOT greet us when we walked in. A few minutes after that the clerk asked the new customer was there anything she could help her find. Again… she did not address us asking could she help when I actually did have a question! I waited a few more moments and then ask was there a manager on duty? The clerk told me no. I said ok thank you I will call tomorrow and turned to walk away. Only then did the clerk ask was there anything she could help me with. I politely told her no… not now.
I have purchased several items from Fifi’s in the past for my daughter and myself. But after today Fifi’s has lost a customer!

I don’t like digging through racks or used clothing, in general. But, after all the usual outlets failed me, I popped in here and found two gorgeous dresses. Lots of designer brands and the prices are high, but not for the quality finds. I’ll probably visit again.

Their Facebook page says they accept consignments without an appointment so I loaded up my car and headed to Fifi’s. I grab an armload of clothes and sashay in the front door, only to be told that they aren’t accepting any consignments this week. No apology given but what I did get was a whole lot of attitude. It’s been a *very* long time since I’ve experienced such poor customer service. I’m going to head across the street now and give my business to Fab’rik, where the sales associates greet their customers with a warm smile and friendly hello.

I just love this store! Every visit the staff has been friendly and helpful. The selection is Awesome w/​such gently used items and brand new as well! The prices can’t be beat, even on the higher end items and there was a sale both times I visited. Highly recommended!

Great experience. The staff was very helpful, the shop is super cute, and there were a ton of steals!

Fifi’s had a great selection of name brands. I enjoyed the setup of the store and it is very organized. The fitting rooms were a good size and you have plenty of room to move. The part time associate offered to start me a fitting room but the manager was not very friendly.

They get the cutest things! Wonderful, stylish selection of clothes, accessories and SHOES! If you find something that’s been there a month, it is 50% off. An unbeatable deal. I love Fifi’s Consignment in Cameron Village!

I visited FIFI’s, as I am a compulsive shopper and it is close to my place of business. Let me just say, I can tell a REPLICA when I see one. I asked to see a vintage Louis Vuitton Cigarette pouch. I knew it was fake, however; the associate look me dead in my eyes and tell me it’s authentic. Ummmmmm, no, it isn’t I protest. She says again it is. I share with her that an Authentic LV «anything» will not read, «made in the USA.» smh!!! The store is cute and clean though.

The space was nice, clean, and neat. There were a lot of things there that my girlfriend and I liked and got, including two Banana Republic shirts that fit my girlfriend perfectly (she’s a bit of a button shirt fanatic) for $ 14 each. She’s a small girl, so it’s hard to get something that fits her really, really well. My girlfriend is also not one to get used clothing items readily. She’s a bit hesitant about cleanliness and hygiene, and the clean presentation at Fifi’s was enough to convince her to rethink her position and get a few shirts. It’s definitely a place that I would go back to and one of the better places around the area for the clothes that we’re looking for.

DO NOT consign items here. They have ridiculous policies and you cannot get your un-​purchased items back at the end. They are very hard to work with and refuse to mail checks; you have to go back into the store to get them. They also refused to write me a check for the amount they owed me since it was under $ 25 until I made a stink, and then they told me I could get that money by closing my account, which they would not do over the phone… resulting in me having to make two separate trips in there to get my money. Not worth the hassle.

I could get used to this kind of store. I don’t usually like searching through other people’s used goods, but this place has changed my tune.
I’ve been in here a few times and I think it’s a great place to pick up some designer stuff that you might not normally purchase (or be able to afford). I fawned over some BCBG shoes a week ago, only to come back after payday to find them gone. I was distraught (!), but walked away with a great Banana Republic skirt and some Theory pants that will be perfect for my new biz caz office!
They have a lot of designer denim, a great selection of shoes in a plethora of sizes and a small area for belts/​bags/​scarves. The staff wasn’t the friendliest I’ve ever encountered, but I can stand a little coldness when I’m getting a great deal. The store is neat, clean and open; not tight and cramped (and stale smelling?) like some other consignment shops.
Watch for the RED DOTS on the tags at Fifi’s; this generally means that the price on the tag is the price you’ll pay. Depending on how long something has been in the store, I believe the price goes down.

This place is pretty much a scam in my opinion. I get the idea of consigning clothes, but when you sign a «contract» and they don’t keep up their end of the contract I think of that as fraud, or really bad management. I brought in some designer items over 2 months ago and they said they would update you on the 15^th of every month to let you know if your stuff sold. Have I ever heard from them? NEVER. I have no idea what happened with my stuff. I think I should have the right to get my items back if they failed to keep up their end of the agreement. If I cannot get an answer out of them, I will be reporting them to the better business bureau.

Big, beautiful space in Cameron Village. Much larger than the Durham location, and with a great deal more clothes. I’ve been told they move designer merchandise more effectively at this store, so there may even be more luxe labels to look at, and the merchandise should refresh pretty frequently. The clothes are priced with a growing percent-​discount based on how long they’ve been in the store (with the exception of designer items)… so I picked up a pair of Seychelles on a discount, at just $ 10! I have some qualms with the process for consignors (see my review of the Durham locale); but I do appreciate there’s no appointment required. And the clothes seem to sell well. It’s great that CV now has a consignment store among its many boutiques. should help keep a little extra money in this woman’s wallet!

Want Designer Denim At About 60−70% Off?
Visit: 3 (so far)
Of course you do! Then run, don’t walk to Fifi’s in Cameron Village. It is located in the strip of shops that includes Village Deli, Charlottes, Art of Style, and Baskin Robbins. About a month ago, I cleaned out my closet and decided to try to sell the majority of items that no longer fit since I lost weight (yeah!). Hopefully I could get a few bucks for each item in hopes of financing new clothes for my wardrobe. I walked into Fifi’s to ask about their consignment policies and the young female sales associate gave me a post card that explained their general rules, which I listed below for you.
1. No appointment necessary to bring in clothes.
2. No limit on number of items to be consigned.
3. They request all clothes to be up-​to-​date fashion, clean, and on hangers. I asked about shorts when spring time finally arrives and she said that shorts do not need to be on hangers.
4. High End designer items consignors will receive 50% of selling price.
a. Fifi’s will keep all high end designer items until they sell.
5. Basic brand name items consignors will receive 40% of selling price.
a. Brand name clothes that don’t sell after 2 months are donated to the charity called Dress For Success.
6. Consignor checks are issued on the 15^th of each moth for items sold.
So I brought my clothes in for consignment and while they were going through my clothes, I decided to begin renewing my wardrobe with a pair of designer jeans. Since the majority of high end denim is sized in the European value system, I asked the sales person for some help. She was very helpful and she guessed my size very accurately. There is a large selection of designer jeans and they all looked practically brand new. I found a pair of Hudson jeans that looked fabulous on me for $ 55. The same jeans in the mall retail for about $ 190-​$ 200. Woohoo! About 70% off retail… what a deal! I wore my new denim (after being hemmed since I’m vertically challenged) out dancing one evening. I received lots of compliments and I told my friends about Fifi’s so I thought to share this gem with you. I was so happy with my jeans that I went back a week later and found a pair of 7 For All Mankind jeans for $ 54.
After two months, I’ll update you my consignment experience but until then, I will be visiting Fifi’s to replenish my wardrobe with beautiful designer clothes for a great price. Fifi’s is open 7 days a week so it’s convenient to stop by anytime to find some new fabulous clothes at a discount and maybe you’ll score a kick-​ass pair of designer jeans at a huge discount.
