Reviews of Clothes Encounters

Kim Houston

I loved this store! They had such an eclectic collection of everything from clothes to accessories and shoes! It was really affordable as I ended up getting some great deals & updated my whole wardrobe! I bought a wardrobe rack just for my new favorite pieces!! The very stylish and super friendly owner, Ayelet, felt like my personal shopper! I’ve already told all my friends about it who tell me its now their favorite spot too! I’ll be back soon!

I'm not sure where my previous review went but I'll just post another 😃 This is by far my favorite consignment shop and, at times, my overall favorite clothing store. The shoes, shirts, coats, dresses, sweaters... they have it all and at amazing prices. The owner is so very nice and helpful (and much more fashion forward than myself, so that helps! 😂) The dressing rooms are always clean, well lit and have plenty of room to move around in. I posted pictures of the shop and the dressing rooms at an earlier date, they are still on here😁) I consider myself very lucky to live as close as I do to Clothes Encounters and can't wait for my next shopping experience!

Such a great selection of well tended and curated clothing. It's a lovely treat to pop in and find new treasures and experience the joyful calm of the space. I love to visit monthly (or more) to tour the uniquely rotating selection.

Incredible selection! I'm plus size. I was sure I wouldn't find anything. Wrong! The owner was kind and helpful. She pointed out pieces she knew were larger. I left with two amazing finds. Check them out!

Rafaella Landess (Rafa)

Beautiful and unique selections with excellent prices and a dreamy ambiance. So cozy and inspired. The owner is really sweet and obviously has put alot of love into the space. I could have spent the whole day in there. Came away with some quality pieces!✨️ 100% worth the exploration!

Mine & Yours

If you're looking for unique finds.. you gotta visit this place! The selection is so beautifully curated! Definitely worth a visit. We love sending people over there. Love to support another small business :)

Best consignment store in Asheville!! Everything is organized beautifully since the new owner has hired new staff.. every is organized by color and size. Amazing designer finds for unbelievable prices, super friendly staff who will pull the perfect thing of you ask for help. I found a short the other day that still had the tag on it for $189 and was marked down to $40. Anyone who hasn’t been in in the last month should revisit and also check out the Instagram @clothesencountersavl awesome new content every day.

Fantastic shopping experience here! Unique and beautiful clothing at reasonable prices, nothing fuddy duddy about it. I liked the variety to different sweaters, skirts and jackets, and their taste in consignment/sale was to my liking. The young lady at the desk was very friendly and I ended up with a great little cashmere sweater! Thank you Clothes Encounters!

Loved my experience selling here and meeting the owner this week! Wonderful curated selection and the BEST hat selection I have seen. Positive energy abundant. See you all soon!

The only thing I'd like to share is don't expect low prices. (Granted this is coming from one who doesn't spend more than 15 bucks on a pair of jeans)

"CLOTHES ENCOUNTERS" in Asheville, NC is an impeccably neat, organized and well designed shop with a plethora of quality cloth- ing and accessories. So delighted I discovered this place!

Laura Ann Ledford

I absolutely adore this eclectic charming consignment shop. I have been frequenting for many years. I go in knowing I will find an amazing new outfit. There consigners are the absolute best and most all clothes are practically new and always stylish. I like the fact that they have large variety of styles and labels. You will moast likely not see yourself any place around time. The owner and staff are friendly and happy to offer suggestions or opinion of how outfit looks on you. Earlier today I stopped in and had great experience talking with Anna Grace. I found several things but my boyfriend was waiting so I going back in morning to decide and purchase. By the way the jewelry fantastic,too!

Sara Preinitz

Clothes Encounters is amazing. I came in 20 mins before close but wish I'd had hours and hours to spend there. So many cute pieces, and pretty reasonable prices. I'm a big fan of the tiered pricing that gets cheaper the longer it's in store. The woman working was very kind, especially for letting me leave a bit late. When I'm back in Asheville, this is the first place I'm coming!!

Jayne Deely

Decent shop, found a few good items, but turned off by the confusing price tag system and REALLY turned off by the shady secret 3.5% credit card processing fee, which wasn't shared with me until I inquired about the extra fee on my receipt. Especially with no ATM in store, we're past the time in which you pass that charge onto your customers. The prices are good, but not that good.

Ginger Hayes

I love this little hidden gem!! Whenever we're in town, I make it a point to stop by and always find a beautiful item for a steal!! Everything is clean and well organized and the staff is so nice!!

Carin Twitty

Wonderful selection and very kind staff! I've shopped here a few times since moving to Asheville next summer and recommend you check it out. There are always new things available and some pretty nice sales from time to time. I especially love that there's a fitting room and large mirror. I purchased all of my coats from here this winter and I haven't been disappointed with the quality.

i went in today and was just amazed at all of the incredibly unique merchandise! the shop gal who was there today, Sydney, was the sweetest, most bubbly, helpful employee ever, she helped me style a stellar outfit that i never wanted to take off! 10/10 would come back to shop here! ps whoever the buyer is has an incredible eye for goodies!

gabby

I’ve had positive experiences here before and have found a lot of cute clothing items for an affordable price. At the same time, the plus size selection is pretty limited and I really wish that they would bring in more sizes above a 10!

Free Quency

By far my favorite clothing store in Asheville. The ladies are wonderful, the clothes are amazingly unique, and I always have a fun time shopping there. Thank you Clothes Encounters! xoxo

Melody Muller

Excellent experience!! Covid safe and great procedures in store and very clean!! Merchandise was a very thoughtfully curated collection! Great prices and super friendly service!! So lucky this place is in my neighborhood but I would travel across town to shop here!

Sharon Adams

I’ve been taking clothes there for a year-I wear Eileen Fisher almost exclusively. They are very friendly and helpful to me in advising what will sell best. I’m downsizing! Took friends with me and they loved the selections! Highly recommend them!

Kat Cortellucci

G Goble

Absolutely stunning place! Full of fun! Your creativity will run wild here- could not leave without getting a couple new pieces!

Mya Mitchell

Wonderful Boutique!!! Trish took her time with me to pick out clothes for my upcoming vacation. She was attentive, gracious and honest. All the clothes and accessories she showed me were exactly my style. Every item was so nice, it was hard to believe they were used. I ended up purchasing 24 items. Trish treated me as though I was a VIP!!! You do not get that kind of personal attention at the Box Stores. Thank you Trish at Clothes Encounters Cheryl Wegner

Shawn Hutchens

Wowza ! Super selection of classic vintages fashions .... The local owner Ayelet sure an eye for picking the gems... without the inflated downtown prices. a must see for visitors and locals alike

Aidan Wallace

This store is phenomenal! So many choices for everyone's size. I bought a pair of sandals, a top, jeans, and a purse for a fantastic price. I definitely recommend this store.

Hank Duncan

Good selection of clothes in the store, but the staff were either not wearing masks at all or had them down to their chins. A bit disappointed in the lack of health concern, but seemed like a good shop overall.

Amanda Girello

The staff and service were incredible!

Wendy redswamp

Found some great deals on the $5 rack outside. I've been lucky before this way, which is why it pays to stop by often.
