Double Take

I found a nearly new pair of Allen Edmonds Byron in my size at a really great price. They even threw in some shoe bags for me. I walked out a very happy camper.

What I liked:
The insanely well curated selection of vintage western and Mexican folk wear, including tons of boots, hats, and sterling + turqoise jewelry. There’s an impressive amount of bakelite jewelry as well.
Everything is nicely merchandised and unlike many stores that sell used/​vintage goods, it doesn’t smell bad here. This leads me to believe items are laundered or dry cleaned before hitting the racks.
The contemporary upscale/​designer section is tasteful, with items in pristine condition.
The gentleman I spoke with was very friendly and helpful, as was the female employee who was also working the day I came in.
What I didn’t like:
I’m deducting 1 star from my rating because the prices on several of the vintage items are well beyond their current market value. As a vintage dealer of 17 years myself I respect that some things are very hard to find these days, cost more to acquire, and deserve premium prices. Charging double or triple what NY dealers charge for comparable items though?!?

Looking for great clothing? This is the place to go! The best staff to sort thru everything & find you exactly what you’re looking for! Great service! It’s like having a personal shopper! Designer labels & good prices. Great experience!

I love this place. The boots, clothes, and jewelry are super awesome. I could spend a small fortune there. The only problem is the price of the items there. The prices are very high. Everything I wanted was over $ 100. Again, I loved everything in there and the variety of items each of the rooms have in them, just wish they were more affordable. Everyone should check this place out.

Double Take is a very cool store. It has a little of everything, from home décor, to clothes, to art, much jewelry, and boots. BOOTS!!! Holy cupcake Batman this is the place for boots. I got a great pair of Donald J Pliner boot/​mules, that made my mouth water. And, I got them for an amazing price, versus the $ 300+ price tag that would be normal.
I wouldn’t say that every price is amazing, there seem to be a few overpriced things, but man oh man can you wander for hours. Santa Fe Thrift is a very different beast than your typical thrift store. The quality level can sometimes blow your mind. Plus, if you just like browsing thrift stores and you are in Santa Fe on holiday, I’d say, you would have a great time taking a mosey through Double Take.

Shopped here last week… lots of merchandise… know your labels. Many of these «used» items were same price or $ 2 less than the exact item new at other local shops in SF. It is still fun but if you can get it new just around the corner, why not.

I was shocked at how this store differed from the other reviews on here. The store is huge and has lots of wonderful items. But everything I saw was used but close to full retail price. I encountered at least 8 employees, two were friendly and six never made eye contact even though we were in close proximity. I had time for one fun stop in Santa Fe. Based on the reviews on Unilocal I made this my stop. Disappointed.

This place is amazing! This is exactly what I was looking for: carefully curated vintage finds organized very well within the space. Make this place a priority if you prefer to dress a little left of center, or even if you just like interesting things.

Simply love this place! Even new shoes at a decent price! Very good quality items in this store. The staff is helpful and accommodating.

Amazing boutique! Fun western prints, vintage, designer couture. The staff was super friendly. So glad I stumbled into this quirky gem.

My moms and I had so much fun shopping here! You can get costume jewelery from $ 1 to vintage turquoise in the $ 100-​$ 200. There is something for everybody here. Marie was very helpful!

Oh I thought this place was awesome! Great, friendly staff, hi Lisa! Thanks for helping me find some beautiful earnings for my girlfriend! I am definitely going to try to always stop by here whenever I visit my mom in Santa Fe!

Everytime I come to town i come here. Such fabulous finds, a large section of used cowboy boots, high end womens wear, suede and leather coats, and Native American jewelry. I even found a wonderful set of vintage china for my friends wedding gift. One of my favorite stores, period.

Double Take is great! My favorite concept about double take is that they weed out all of the shabby used clothing for you, meaning there is more cool, gently used, like new clothing ready for you on the rack. All of this in expensive downtown Santa Fe! I found three really nice used, brand name dress shirts for less than one new shirt at Dillards. I Also found a high quality suit for a fraction of what I would pay anywhere else. Not only that, but I had «Nimah» give his fashion advice to help me through making my purchases. At one point, both Nimah and my wife were picking out ties to go with my suit. For a man who should put more effort into his wardrobe, I sure felt in capable hands to have two sets of eyes helping me with my wardrobe decisions. Everyone was extremely nice, professional and seemed to have a good sense of fashion.
What a service Double Take provides Santa Feans. Thank you!
After reading other’s negative reviews: True, Double Take may be a little more expensive than Goodwill or the Salvation Army second hand stores, but I think the quality of clothing you’re going to find at Double Take is overall better. Not to say that you’re not going to make some good finds at either of the other used hand stores, just that you’re going to have to search a lot harder.

Consignment store with Men’s Clothes, Women’s Clothes, Housewares… etc. This place is large, and I have always found what I’m looking for, and in excellent condition. I had a wedding to go to, and found not one, but two classic black dresses, as well as a pair of shoes, along with a dressy camisole, all MINT, and spent $ 80. It’s like going to TJ Max, but I can find what I want, and the quality I want.

Me and my boyfriend randomly passed by this place and boy am I happy we did that! This store has everything and all the high end brands from Valentino, Chanel to Versace! Their prices are fair consider the shape their items are in and if you are looking for something amazing to wear for a wedding or a party this is the place to go:)
I highly recommend going here if you are in Santa Fe!

A rave review by locals appeared in the April issue of Sunset magazine which lead me to explore Double Take. The rave was all about how Double Take sells such eclectic vintage and used stuff. I was not impressed. It was nothing more than a Goodwill thrift shop. I have no issue with Goodwill! I just thought it was extremely over-​rated and left without buying a thing!

Yesterday, visiting from out-​of-​town, I went to pretty much every single thrift/​consignment/​vintage store in Santa Fe.
This store left me with the most conflicted feelings!
It’s sort of three or four stores in one. There’s a lower-​end thrifty-​consignment area that feels very comparable to a Buffalo Exchange. Mostly newish clothes at affordable prices with just a handful of so-​so vintage items mixed in. I was sort of wondering, «where’s all the vintage?» Then I went around the corner and figured out where it went…
The middle section is a mix of newer and true-​vintage, all with a western theme. There’s a huge wall of cowboy boots, tons of leather fringey and Pendleton-​type coats, some great vintage tooled-​leather purses, and a few racks of 40’s/40’s/60’s circle skirts, squaw dresses and stuff like that. Prices on this stuff were not cheap, but not insane.
It’s that third section that drove me nuts!!!
This is where all the really good 40’s/50’s/60’s vintage is.
They have several drool-​worthy cases of Bakelite, Celluloid &rhinestone, and 50’s enamel-​over-​copper 40’s and 50’s jewelry. The prices are ridiculous, though!!!
There was a confetti-​glitter Lucite clamper bracelet in the case, and I’ve been wanting one of these for a while, so I asked to see it, and just about fell over dead when I saw the price!!! Are you bleeping kidding me???
Easily TRIPLE the market value for this type of bracelet.
I guess their target market is super-​rich people who aren’t educated about vintage clothing and jewelry, and just fork over stacks of cash when they see something glittery that they like.
if you are one of those, hey great! Go have fun!
If you are a vintage collector with two brain cells to rub together, stay far away… don’t waste your time.

Wow. I almost didn’t go here because other reviewers said the prices are «high». Are you kidding? This isn’t a thrift store so you won’t find items for $ 1. It’s a consignment store that focuses on high quality items without damage. They have ski boots and pants in mint condition. I found a Banana Republic dress with the tags still on it for $ 15. I walked away with 5 dresses (two wedding worthy) for $ 73. Please tell me where the rest of you are shopping because that (to me) is a great deal!
(Ok, so I did steer clear of the $ 60 used shoes, but I guess they were some designer brand originally priced at $ 250. Whatever.)

Oh I love Double Take! I always find a treat for myself when I’m in there! Last time I found an exceptional pair of vintage Bruno Magli silver leather sandals to wear for a wedding– so pretty.
I love their color-​coded label sales, something you like is always on discount.
The ladies behind the register pretty much keep to themselves so you’re free to just poke around and find a little something sparkling with sequins…
I don’t think this a place to find clothing you «need,» but you will find things you can’t live without.
