The Clothes Secret

I was visiting Ottawa and stopped here by accident! Found some gems that I know I’ll have forever. Staff were lovely and the whole shopping experience was great! Great sales too.

Great prices and some high quality items, my only complaint is that it doesn't carry a lot of sizes, specifically there was no XS section.

Staff is wonderful and the layout is easy to shop. The selection seems good but I've been a couple times and only found one thing (I'm a thirty-something usually size M/L with casual and eclectic style taste, for some context). Worth returning though.

Shopping at the clothes secret is always such a blast! My mum and I love to stop in when we are in the area. The store always has a great mix of sizes, styles, and luxury to more affordable brands. Most pieces are quite reasonably priced especially compared to other consignment shops I’ve been to, plus they have amazing sales during the year if you’re on a budget! I haven’t had any experience selling my pieces, however I would definitely recommend stopping in to shop as the staff are always very welcoming and warm and provide great service!

I stopped into The Clothes Secret yesterday after having been away for most of the summer; I was in need of a few fall items so I knew exactly where I needed to go. One of the last times I was in the store was in May when I was shopping for something to wear to a casual wedding. Chelsey and Linda stepped in and helped me put together a knock-out outfit. Yesterday while I was in, Chelsea arrived with her sister, and made the time to say hi and to me and ask me how the wedding went she helped me shop for. Also while I was there, Linda was on the hunt for the perfect black jean, and found exactly what I was looking for. When I asked Linda if I could try them on she said 'you're like family Heather, go right ahead' This is the heart of small business, the connection and the relationships small business owners create and nurture. I do feel like family when I shop there, and appreciate all the guidance I get. Thank you Clothes Secret for being my go-to consignment shop. Keep up the good work :)
