Great consignment store! While it is second hand, it is NOT a cheap thrift shop; I think that is the source of confusion for a lot of low-star reviewers. The shop has a very nice selection of second hand and vintage items, and the prices are reasonable for the selection but not what you’d find at a Goodwill (these stores serve different functions!). Very kind and knowledgeable staff, eager to help. Many unique and interesting items. Would visit again!

My first time going to a consignment shop, and i had a great time! Everything was organized and there was a great selection of clothes and accessories. The shop was very cute, and i loved the feel of the small second story shop. Fitting rooms are open too. Prices are reasonable and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be making this a regular stop in the future.

Maybe someone else's cup of tea or tequila or maybe too rich... LoL so I really tried to find something that I liked or wanted to buy that was used for $40&up but just couldn't. It was a cute little neat location and ALL their employees were really kind to me.

I visited the store during a short stay in DC earlier this month. It is quite a lovely store; a gem! They carry a great selection of clothes and accessories with a decent amount of luxury brands sprinkled about in very good condition at reasonable prices. And the staff was very friendly and helpful. It is really a fun store. During my brief visits, (I went twice I had to return to collect a fabulously massive embroidered white scarf before leaving the city), I did not have the pleasure of meeting Ms Winnie, perhaps next year. More importantly, I left with three fabulous pieces!

I love the set-up it's a cute spot, and I wasn't ready to walk up the stairs to get in to the boutique. It was organized, the staff was very informative, and I'm not from here so the prices where higher than where I'm from. Other than that it's a treasure it does have high-end Variety Appreall, And they are in good condition.

They do have nice items, some of them are reasonably priced. However, the service is not great in comparison to similar businesses in the area. They have a deal whenever you spent more than $500 in one transaction, you will get $25 coupon to use next visit within the next 3 months. I found out after I just spent about $440, any efficient employee/merchant would have suggested a customer to spend some more to get $25 coupon. If the customer said no, nothing to loose, but failing to do so, it’s a loose-loose situation. I left unhappy, they could have get me to buy some more today, and the next time I come back to use the $25 coupon I’d would spend more then, as well. I guess they don’t really care since they already have lots of business going on. Several years ago, the owner/manager with her old team were much more friendly, but the new team are ok, doing their job ok, no more no less.

I had been following Secondi on Instagram for a while and finally went in to see a few designer bags they had posted. I wound up purchasing one and it was a great experience! The ladies were so kind and helpful, and explained in detail how they authenticate the designer items. I had never purchased a bag from this specific designer before, and I was understandably nervous about buying secondhand. However, I left assured because they really do know their stuff! Thank you for a great shopping experience! I love my new bag.

The website make it look like the selection is extensive. Though they have nice things it’s just like any other thrift shop just with a couple high end labels sprinkled through. Nice but not above average. The people who work there are nice though!

Alyssa Cooper

This place is the single best thrift/consignment shop I’ve ever visited. They carry a variety of designer and high-quality pieces. Go early in the morning when the shop first opens for the best selection and service…it’s gets super busy on weekends and evenings.

Come every season for new and amazing finds! the staff here know clothes. Everything here is quality. Before I moved to DC, I specifically came here during every visit to DC for an affordable shopping spree. Especially amazing for students or young professional looking for nice work wear and lower prices! Do keep in mind that items may be a few seasons old, but there are many gems here and an under $50 dress rack that is my favorite thing ever. Don't forget their jewelry racks too!

Justine Heuze

My favorite store in DC by far! I found amazing pieces in great condition for a very reasonable price, i.e. Derek Lam brand new boots or Ralph Lauren leather fringe bag with the tag. A must see and come back! (moreover the staff is lovely)

The entrance is a little hard to find, but worth it. It's on the second floor, (up a steep flight of stairs) and it's a second-hand shop, and so I guess that's why it's named "Secondi". Worth it for a nicely curated collection of higher-end gently used clothing. The people who look over the items brought in for consignment have a pretty good eye, accepting and selling what's recent, and turning away what's been sitting in the far recesses of someone's closet for too many years. Items are in excellent shape, good quality, and for some of the selection, top-of-the-line. This is not your typical "thrift store". You won't find ratty jeans for five bucks. You're paying for quality, just much less than you'd pay for it new. Items are well displayed and organized, with racks for different types of mid-to-high level designer clothing on one side of the store, hung by size, and within each size, items of similar colors grouped together. And on the other side of the store, there are the seriously higher-end items you want for big events -- like a Chanel evening dress, an Armani skirt suit, or a pair of Louboutin's. I was in a hurry one afternoon but really wanted something nice for an event that night; I stopped in during lunch and found the perfect silk blouse and pencil skirt. Hope you have the same luck as I did!

I have had different experiences as a customer versus a consigner. As a customer, Secondi treated me with much politeness and respect, and I have always left the store happy with the items I purchased and with the service. So far, I have had about five appointments, and I must admit I am extremely disappointed in the attitude Secondi took toward me as a consigner last Friday. The employee who was looking at my items was very nice and friendly. The woman at the computer, however, would giggle and grin quite conspicuously at whatever I said - perhaps that was because I am not a native speaker and I would ask them for the best way to describe some items, or, perhaps, she did not like the fact that I would bring 10 items or less per appointment and ask why this or that item could not be consigned. Anyhow, I left the store very disappointed and unfairly treated. I hope the store owner and/or the manager reads this and takes measures, because apart from that, the store is very good - I still give it 5 stars.

Ashley Rodriguez

A very cute boutique consignment shop. I didn't have as much luck as my friend did, but I did enjoy browsing the racks of expensive items at reduced prices. She walked away with a beautiful tie front jacket and some boots. The skirt in the picture I wanted, but it was a little out of my price range.

Harriet

I never leave this store empty handed! They have a great assortment of unique items that are in great quality. The employees are also kind and helpful! I would highly recommend paying a visit no matter what the occasion is that you are shopping for.

This is the premiere consignment store in Washington, DC. It is conveniently located in Dupont Circle. The selection of clothing, coats and purses (my favorite) is tremendous. You can also go view and purchase their merchandise online. Whether you are local or from out of town, make sure you stop by this hidden gem!!

Lara Ruth Ziobro

This was a great (read: "dangerous!") find. I was always put off from the view in from the window since it looked like heavier-style clothing for a slightly older crowd. However, at the urging of a fashion-focused friend, decided to give it a shot. Definitely was not disappointed. In fact, had to pry myself away! Some of the shoes there while great brands and such, looked like they had been well worn by their prior owners and still carried a hefty price tag. I guess it takes some serious wear and tear to bring down the dollar value on some brand names. They did have a good amount of great buys on brands like Laundry, BCBG, Theory, etc. Their selection on the smaller sizes wasn't as robust as I would have liked, but that seems to usually be the case. I'll definitely be back again.

Be careful you don't walk by as the doorway is small and the shop is on the second floor. Some mid level items and some very high end things which are behind the counter. Hard to see so definitely ask for help. $75 for a beautiful black Kate Spade large tote and a buttery soft black vintage skinny Burberry belt think $100. I actually worn that to the Senate. Ended up ordering the other thick Burberry belt online a week later that I tried on in store. I'm from Wisconsin where we're overly friendly which I've learned DC isn't so just need to all for help if you want to see things. Follow their IG and website if you're not from DC.

Lauren Friedman

My favorite consignment store in downtown DC. There's always something new to find, and the staff is friendly. I regularly consign here. I think the consignment experience can be awkward for any store, as a stranger is making a judgement call regarding your personal style, but I've never had a weird experience here. Many of my *best* pieces - like a D-Squared blouse, a DVF wrap dress, were picked up from Secondi.

Lori Penix

I stumbled on this store while traveling from Los Angeles. I absolutely LOVE this place. Great items at prices that work well for me. I will keep in touch. ❤️

Heather Wellington

Beautifully curated selection of upscale clothes in a variety of sizes. Great jewelry and shoe selection as well. Very friendly and helpful staff. I always find something great when I come here.

Lisa Jones

I have purchased a few high-end items at Secondi over the years. The quality and condition of those items were excellent. The price was a little on the high side, although nothing compared to purchasing the items new. Since the items looked barely used, I did not mind the prices and did not wait for the price to go down (there items are marked to go down periodically until you hit a price floor where it won't be reduced further). I was not risking the items being sold before the price reduction date , especially for the Louos Vuitton briefcase. The only reason I did not give a 5 is because the customer service is not great No one really acknowledges me when I come into the store or asks may I help you (this is after many visits). Once I go to checkout or go up to ask a question, I've always received friendly service.

Andrea Za

I really checking out the latest fashions at this place. It's clean. For the most part the staff is friendly and attentive. A fun place to shop in DC.

Rose Mungai

Nice small consignment store. Has quality items. Both used and new. One can get very high end items too. Staff pleasant. Items can be pricey but quality good.

Isabelle Styslinger

My favorite thrift store of all time 🤍 …

Franck Saiag

Plenty of choice on this second floor gem! Great pieces in great condition. My wife found some nice bargains over there, I wish they had clothes for men too.

Ann Condit

I've shopped at Secondi for several years and highly recommend that you do the same if: you appreciate a friendly and helpful staff dedicated to customer service, you appreciate a clean, light and airy atmosphere while shopping (love that inviting couch in the window btw), you appreciate a great selection of clothing AND in particular, if you appreciate a wide selection of luxury accessories.

Takeisha Jefferson

I came to this shop about 8 years ago on Thanksgiving; I was visiting my son. I wanted to enjoy the day before Thanksgiving hunting for clothes in consignment shops! I was glad I didn't have alot of $$ at the time lol 😆 these ladies have great clothes and accessories; plus sizes are available (very nice selections casual and evening wear) I have a bit more 😀 😊 to spend and I intend to do a "proper" shopping 🛍 day at thi boutique.

Lovely!

You’re easily going to wait at least 20 minutes (and often even longer) to get a fitting room here! They REALLY need to figure out a way to better manage their process. (I’m not sure why they don’t just have people wait in line & have an employee there to direct rooms). Instead, there’s apparently a verbal waiting list you’re supposed to get on (which there’s no signs or anything about) & then the attendants once in awhile go to see if a room is finally vacant (I’ve seen the room empty for at least 5 minutes before they even notice).
