In Short
Upscale designer merchandise range from Gucci suits to Seven jeans. This consignment shop has a long list at the front of the store listing the items it will--and will not--accept. For example, you won't find anything with pleats, double breasted jackets or sweaters that aren't cashmere. You will, however, find designer jeans from Joe's and Citizens of Humanity, plus Prada shoes, at great prices.

The one time I walked in and inquired about selling, I was completely dismissed by the owner who told me if what I had was not D&G or Gucci then I should not waste her time. Kinda stupid. The stuff I have is very high end, Italian brands only sold in Europe. I was insulted and thought the policy was completely absurd. Why not even look at the stuff first?! Will definitely look to sell elsewhere.

Well, let's start by what is good at Fisch for the Hip: Sweeter than sweet staff, nice selection of designers; And then, let's go on with what's wrong... terribly wrong. I have been a customer for a couple of years at that little store in Chelsea. Although prices don't always make sense, I got lucky a few times and got really good pieces. But is it really worth having to put up with the owner? I always thought she was beyond rude and quite "special" but I always managed to avoid her and I had no idea of the level of insanity in that store until I became a consignor myself. The policy is just plain ridiculous: as opposed as any other consignment store, you are required to call once a month in a really specific and short window of time to check on your account and request a check. It turns out to be a nightmare: phone call after phone call, you are being told the same frustrating answer: there is nothing the manager can do, only the owner is entitled to give out information on accounts and she will call you back within the next 2 days. At least, that's the theory. Eventually, after 5 messages, an embarrassed staff and a month wait, the infamous owner is finally on the line. And then, you wish you actually never set a foot in that store: she will be barking at you like you are some kind of debt collector harassing her and then she will go on and on with the craziest excuses (and obviously lies) not to pay you for another 3 months! And if, out of frustration, you have the nerve to ask for your stuff back you will have to deal with her rambling like a maniac on how you should leave it there until next season: Uh! No, thanks!

Here's the truth about Fisch: If you have expensive, high-end, current designer clothes, this is a decent place to sell because they do have a lot of customers. HOWEVER. Every other high-end consignment store in NYC will automatically mail you a check on a monthly basis. With Fisch, you have to call them repeatedly and ask for an update on your account. They make it as difficult as possible to get your money. Yes, some of the sales staff have raging superiority complexes. Yes, the owner would rather pet her dog than give you 5 minutes of her time. Yes, they'll hold the money they owe you for as long as they possibly can before returning it to you; they're disorganized; they lose things. It's typical of the shmatte business. Didn't you watch The Devil Wears Prada?
