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.

Hidden Agenda/ Great Clothes

by STYLE NY at Citysearch

As a new consignor I wanted to check the reputation of this store. I was shocked to read such horrible reviews. I called the store concerned, maybe wanting my items back. The owner answered and told me that 2 reviews were retaliation from terminated consignors. One being the Cookie Thief a Monster as featured in the Post: Look it up!

The owner asked CITISEARCH to remove the one accusing her of criminal acts. She said CITISEARCH would not unless she met with the advertising department. Defamation to a business and false accusations are against the law.

Shame on CITISEARCH for not requesting proof.

I think it is wrong to allow someone to damage a reputation with false slander and it shows a lack of honor and integrity on Citisearch's part to audit reviews properly,

I suggest you find out for yourself. I think 20yrs. is a long time to own a store. She must be doing something right.

Fashion's Dirty Little secret

by JayPinot140 at Citysearch

Let's be honest we all love this place but more than likely will only tell our closest friends who are not our size about it's existence. People buy and sell luxury cars and antiques all the time so why is it "Taboo" for clothing... Two words Perception of Value!

Regarding the poor reviews...This is NYC people stop being so sensitive. My experience so far has been nothing but positive. However if that changes you will be the first to hear.

the woman is insane!

by nativermont at Citysearch

I wish I had read all these reviews before consigning there. This person is so twisted, a real nutcase! Bottom line, if you wanna see some of your money ever, never consign there: AVOID!

New York's best consignment shop

by BethLee at Citysearch

Every time I pop into Fish, the girls and the owner are very helpful, and honest too. When I try on a dress that isn't flattering they tell it like it is. And, I am glad. Certain consignment shops that will remain nameless(think downtown), have a really bitchy staff and couldn't care less.

The last time I was Fishing, Taryn, the owner actually gave me one of her own pieces of clothing (for free), thinking it would be a flattering style for me and knew that I had already spent my cash.

I will be back, and soon!

  • Pros: The girls who work there are great and the owner is too!
