I love consignment stores and I love Secondi! It's on Dupont Circle right above Starbucks. The staff is nice and polite and is willing to help in any way. The place has a ""boutique"" feel to it - very high end. The two room set up works great - one side features designer clothing, from Chanel to Burberry and the other side has clothing that is more ""affordable"". Do not expect this place to be cheap - yes, you will get a great deal and yes, you will still pay a lot more than you would pay at any other consignment store. Every time I've gone, I've spent $100+ or more... But then I like to shop on the designer side. What's also great about this place is that the longer the item stays in the store, the less it costs...(3 months maximum). The original price gets marked down 20% and then again 40%. Not bad, but then nothing really stays around at Secondi for that long. If you're in DC, check it out - it's a great little place to visit.
