Editorial Review for Michael's - The Consignment Shop for Women – by Jennifer Cohen
The Scene
Upper East Side ladies and downtown divas alike sell their threads here, and the world comes to claim them. For more than 45 years, this upscale consignment shop has been an institution for fashionistas without trust funds and grandmothers with great taste. Peer over the hangers and catch a glimpse of Gotham's fashion mosaic: Hasidic brides shop for Vera Wang wedding gowns while yuppie career girls cruise the cramped aisles for pants to wear at their next power lunch.
The Goods
Hand-picked designer clothing and accessories, all once-loved and gently worn. While Michael's is best known for its bridal consignment (which closes at 5pm), the store is packed with everything from Chanel suits to Gucci Gowns, Hermes scarves and Prada shoes. You won't find a generic brand because every garment must have an authentic, prestigious label in order to hang on the racks.

I am not what you would consider consignment savvy. I have wanted to however add to my designer collection of clothes without paying full price. I recently stumbled upon Michael's the other day and I'm still glowing from my amazing Missoni, Gucci, Louboutin and Chanel finds. Most of my purchases still had the original tags. I'm now telling all my friends. It's simply a must before making the trek to crowded department stores or putting up with snooty sales associates at the designer boutiques. I really think that the sales girl who assisted me made all the difference as a consignment newbie. She didn't rush me, established immediate credibility and had excellent suggestions. She wasn't pushy about it either - just showed me how to shop consignment. I look forward to going back!
Pros: Wonderful selection, great sales people
Cons: none

My husband and I travel all the time and I love the hunt for a great bargain. I buy very expensive clothes and accessories but I would rather find a great deal in a consignment store. When we decided to go to Manhatten for Christmas I did a lot of research on line and saw great comments about Michaels. It was my first and only stop. The second I walked into this store I saw a gorgeous velvet black Chanel bag. Too die for. I did't have her hold it for me as I looked around and someone else purchased it, my fault. However I did find a Judith Leiber purse made of ostrich skin for 500.00 dollars, a steal. Also found some great Prada shoes. The shop is small with two floors, but arranged very thoughtfully and there are tons to choose from. The ladies in the shop were extremely kind and friendly, even though it was Christmas Eve and very busy. This is the best consignment store I have ever been in from San Francisco to Orlando. I will be back.
