The Address Boutique

This store is no longer in existence. The owner passed away a year ago.

Not a good environment. The workers follow you around, offering opinions you might not need.
I was looking at purchasing a purse for 1800 and the woman working wouldn’t even remove it (it was secured to a rack) so I could get a better look.
I particularly love vintage Gucci pieces and they only had one handbag by them and it had fur on it. Gross.
Selection isn’t great and I would rather go to a place that acts like they want my business.
I was ready to spend money when I went in and ended up walking out. My pride is larger than my wallet.

What an uncomfortable experience. A very aggressive Romanian saleswoman followed me throughout the store and showed me things that I wasn’t at all interested in. I left as soon as I could get away from her, and didn’t even get to look at most of the racks. I will never go back.

I love the Address! The staff really gets to know their customers. Carmen helped me put together the prefect outfit for an event I was attending. Designer clothes at resale prices (plus some new basics) with free parking in back. I can even find gifts for my mom there too.

Wow. I just went in with several items to consign (Raven Denim and Charles David boots) and the saleswoman (one I have not dealt with before who was Russian or something similar) was such a B***H. She was very off-​putting and looked at me like she’d rather be getting a root canal than help me. She hardly looked up from what she was doing while I was trying to explain why I was there and then she interrupted me, looking at my items, and said «I’m sorry, we only buy nice things… like Chanel.» Then she said «besides, we have a minimum of five items. Is that all you have?» She mumbled some sort of half-​assed thank you as I was already out the door. I will NEVER go back to that store and she should be fired. I’m not happy right now.

The relaxing environment of the store that blends the old trend with the new one is a good place to shop at. Vintage style’s lovers can find beautiful clothing in excellent conditions. You can mostly find anything you want. Known brands starting with TSA, Tory Burch, Prada, Dior to Chanel and Christian Louboutin are at really affordable prices.
Also, the ladies that work there are very helpful and enthusiastic. I recommend shopping there!

The prices are way out of line with the other consignment shops I frequent.

I dropped by Address Boutique to see if I could sell a couple of dresses and a Vera Wang Top… I walked in and the lady at the counter asked if I had an appointment. I did not but the owner came out to see what I had.
She was dismissive and off putting, saying that she had never heard of one of the designers. That’s fine but the dress was originally $ 2,000 from Bergdorf Goodman and had never been worn.
I will never step foot in this store again. The way I was treated and the attitude from the owner was gross.

I just stopped by and explained I was interested in handbags and possibly consigning a couple of dresses (which I had with me). The salespeople hover in a weird way, and the way they were looking at me made me think that they did not want me in the store. I was wearing chinos and a tee, but it is Saturday in Santa Monica! The owner (?) came over to ask about the dresses I had — she asked me the designer. When I replied «Leona Edmiston» she dismissively said she did not know who that was. Ummm… pretty well known Australian designer with a boutique on Montana? The other saleslady tried to explain who she was to no avail.
The owner did not even let me take out the dress and said she only works with people consigning 10 – 12 pieces at a time. Perhaps they could have told me that right when I walked in? Her manner was incredibly off-​putting — there was no way that I would stay in that store to shop. Ugh.

The selection of designers is good, but the prices are not that different from retail. Also, the store seems to gear towards women that are in their 40’s and older judging from the clothes, the layout, and the staff. Not the place for the early to late 20’s demographic.

Awesome store! The ladies there are extremely friendly and very helpful! The clothes in the store are a bargain, considering they are all designer clothes. It really is a store worth visiting, trust me, you will not leave from there empty handed. I totally recommend it to all that like to have top brand names for a bargain price!

I dropped off several items on consignment to this store and was paid in a timely manner for items and given a fair price. The owner is very nice and seems to know most of the customers that shop in her store. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to sell consignment!

Very friendly salespeople and a nice selection of items. And they had a couch for my husband to sit and follow the football games on his blackberry. Bonus. :-)

The Address has higher prices and a smaller selection than their neighbor, Great Labels, but I always shop at both. The sales women in this store are super friendly, have quarters on their counter for parking and sometimes have refreshments like coffee or licorice. Make sure you had your name to their mailing list, because they have a lot of great sales, which makes out of reach pieces a great value. Their clients who consign clothing are well-​known celebrities, and they do get some amazing dresses and shoes. All and all, their inventory is good, but their customer service is great. This place is a hit or miss for me. I would say this store is more for mature ladies, or customers in need of evening attire.

The salespeople were very nice, especially Christie. However, they didn’t have much of a selection.

I was shocked by the other reviews of this boutique, which said that the salespeople made them feel uncomfortable or unwanted. I’ve waltzed through their door in everything from dumpy work-​out clothes to mismatched track suits and have never had a problem.
The ladies are friendly and offer honest advice — which once saved me from purchasing an unflattering sweater. I also had a 20 minute conversation with one lady (Christie) about her childhood in Brazil, and she told me to email her whenever I plan a trip down there to get hotel & nightlife recommendations.
For the best deals, join their email list. They have a massive sale at least once per year where you can get ridiculous under-​$ 50 deals on designers like YSL, Prada, and Gucci. They also have 20% sales every 1 – 2 months for email list members and their friends.

Just say no to cramped little stores with hovering salespeople who watch with hawk eyes as you carefully handle their overpriced stock…

My Mom likes this place a lot more than I do but they have some good clothes for «mature» women. If you like to shop in peace you will have a problem because they follow you around and there are no dressing rooms so you have to change in front of the staff who kinda hover around you. There is another resale shop a few doors down called Great Labels which is geared more to younger and hipper.

This is the absolute best place to buy exquisite designer clothing and accessories at unbelievably reasonable prices! Most of the pieces are new with tags or look as though they have never been worn at all. I have purchased Richard Tyler, Jil Sander, Gucci, Armani, Prada, BCBG and on and on…
They have purchased wardrobes from the likes of Sharon Stone, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Victoria Principal, & Sally Field.
Past purchases: There are pieces that to this day, I still receive compliments on…
.
$ 95 — Six years ago I found a Gucci sweater, hand knit, long, bulky, and mildly worn (looked new) with various shades of green. It’s original price was over $ 1500+. I wear it every year.
$ 85 — A new velvet — like, dark brown, washable pant suit… Jacket-​like top has a hip nehru collar with cool semi wide pants. I still love wearing this outfit that I found here 5 years ago.
Also, there is a wonderful Brazilian woman, Christie who is ever so helpful and THE best salesperson. She even calls me when new items arrive in my size by my fave designers, and also sends me cards letting me know when they’re having great sales or pre-​sales for their best customers. Please say hello to her from Lindsay (long story) … another time, another place.
Some years back, I’d had to go to a entertainment industry function and needed a knockout gown. Christie helped me find what would have been a $ 6000 gown, had I bought it new (it was designed by a Belgium designer by the name of «Kaat Tilley»). I ended up only spending $ 500-​$ 600. The greatest part of this story is that while I was traipsing around in my like-​new fabulous ballgown at the event, I happened upon a number of celebrities (like the cuties from «Queer As Folk») that just had to tell me that they adored my ensemble. For one night, I felt just like a Star.
