Ditto

Ditto is a resale shop that is set up like a scaled down department store. It is a department store, but everything they have is resale. They have lots of the Christmas type merchandise and decorations for sale since Christmas is two and a half weeks away.
The store is divided into sections as if it was a department store, but it really is like a department store, with furniture, a large section of women’s clothing, a smaller section of men’s clothing, and children’s clothing which is divided into a boys section and a girls section. The clothing is not cheapo stuff because there were some high end name brands there. Some of it was from places like Macy’s, Dillards, Brooks Brothers and others were from places like Target and KMart, which is not exactly high end clothing, but they were in good condition.
It’s a nice little resale/​department store that is clean and tidy, which is a huge plus for a resale store.

This is where it all began. I had never been to a thrift or resale shop of any kind, but about fourteen months ago, I decided to check out Ditto. I bought two shirts for a total of $ 7, and that was that. I was hooked. I became a thrifter.
So, what is Ditto?
Ditto is a 501©3. Their mission is to make Christian education more accessible in St. Louis. According to their website, ninety percent of their earnings goes toward tuition remission at one of their member schools.
It’s NOT a consignment shop. I’m not trying to call out other reviewers here, but I also don’t want other people to think they can sell their belongings at Ditto. Ditto sells things that have been /​donated/​to them. There’s no consigning going on here.
Ditto offers a selection of clothing, accessories, furniture, household goods, toys, and books. I have looked at the furniture on a couple of occasions and have never seen anything I liked. I typically peruse only the women’s clothing, but it is worth noting that they seem to have clothing for the whole family.
At the end of this summer and the end of last summer, they sold all leftover summer clothing for $ 1! I didn’t find anything this time around, but last year, I snagged a really cute $ 1 dress. I must have checked that dress for defects twenty times before purchasing it. There wasn’t anything wrong with it. It was just a great bargain!
(Though, I definitely recommend a thorough inspection of all clothing prior to purchase at ANY thrift or resale shop.)
My most recent visit to Ditto was yesterday, and it’s beginning to look a lot like autumn. I tried on six different pieces but ended up purchasing only one of them. The fitting rooms are a decent size here, which allows me to do my runway walk and an adequate derrière test (when applicable) while wearing each ensemble. :p
One thing I’ve noticed over my last couple of visits is the clothing quality – and price – seem to have gone up. I’ve seen more designer items than usual, including a Tory Burch sweater priced at $ 30. Of course, you still can find some very reasonably priced pieces. A $ 5 sweatshirt and $ 7 dress were among the items I tried on yesterday. (I loved the dress, but it failed the derrière test.)
Of course, purchases are tax-​free. that’s always nice.
Ditto’s slogan is «A shopping experience worth repeating.» That’s been true in my case. If you’re a thrifter, definitely consider visiting this shop. Just don’t go on a Sunday. They’re closed.
Also, be sure to like them on Facebook so that you can keep up with all of their sales!

This is one of the neatest places in St Louis. It is a local consignment shop, specializing in upper end clothing and furniture. Of course you are buying used, so occasionally you may see some wear, but the price point is more than capable of making up for it.
I have purchased a Brooks Brothers sweater, with the tags still on it for $ 150, for approximately $ 12. I have purchased a few coats, London Fog and Chaps Ralph Lauren, for $ 20 a piece. They are always running deals and sales, and if you were in antique hunter you might even want to stop in. I’ve seen some pretty neat old stuff.
The staff is always friendly and more than willing to help you out. They have even given me style advice a few times, because I’m not the most in depth with current trends. If you are in the area of Warson Woods, Glendale or Kirkwood this is a must check out.

Ditto is la nonprofit consignment shop located on Manchester Road and Sappington in Warson Woods. They sell clothing, jewelry, home furnishings,
raise money for tuition assistance to support seven local private schools. The staff are mostly volunteers and I found them to be very friendly and helpful. The clothing is mostly gently used every day wear. They also have a room with odds and ends (furniture, home furnishings, etc). I found the clothes to be reasonably priced for the condition. I purchased a work out outfit for $ 4 and I’ll be back!
