NEW’D

Umm… no. I was very disappointed after reading all the praise heaped on this place by Unilocalers. There wasn’t much here at all. There was maybe 3 tee shirts and a sweater worth looking at in the whole store! Maybe the place was really picked over, but I have a hard time believing that. Skip this place.
We both agreed this was the worse store we visited in the Wicker Park area.

One of the nicer resale shops I’ve been to in Chicago. Actually, it’s so cute and well-​maintained, I’d consider it a boutique!
Though it’s not a large space and the selection is a bit sparse, they put a lot of thought into buying and the end result is higher-​end picks. I didn’t find any dresses, but spied a few choice tops and I love their denim collection.
Speaking of – there’s one rack with 50% off denim and it’s filled with great finds!
Helpful staff and they also buy gently-​used clothing if you’re looking to clean out your closet.

Walked past New’d Saturday afternoon at noon and it was closed; not helpful and not what its sign indicated. While getting coffee across the street, however, I noticed it opened for business. Went in and found four dresses to try on, all priced between $ 20 and $ 40! Decent selection of gently-​used designer jeans as well as some funky handbags and jewelry. I will definitely be back to peruse the selection (assuming I can find it open) :-)

Wound up here during the Do-​Division festival. My girl was looking through the racks and found some stuff she liked. As I was waiting the ladies told me they had some men’s clothing. I looked through the racks and did not see too much with my size. I stumbled across a nice tan shirt that fitted pretty nice according to the ladies.
As I was paying for the goods, they told me they buy clothes and donate clothes that they can’t resell. The next day I showed up with my stuff and they gave me cash for it. Nice!!! Very sweet ladies that work here and they really have nice stuff for men & women

I was very excited to try this place based on other reviews and my new-​found love of used (I mean Vintage! Eco-​concious!) clothes but there just wasn’t much there. The store is small and has a very limited inventory.
Clothing was arranged on the racks as sparsely as you’d expect to see it in a higher-​end boutique. The sales rack had a couple of worn, tired-​looking t-​shirts and the dress section had three identical dresses (making me think that their owners had simultaneously decided they were no longer worth wearing). Overall, the store seemed very picked-​over.
Most resale-​type stores are indeed hit-​or-​miss, but given the size of NEW’D, I’ve found it less likely that you will find things here in comparison with some of the larger resale stores nearby on Milwaukee.

I went there yesterday and it’s under new owners, who may I add, are extremely amicable so forget the attitude you read in other reviews, this time it’s for real.
It’s selective, very fair priced and convenient.
Will be back soon. Go check it out if you please.

The service in here is starting to slide a little. I just don’t understand how anyone working in a resale shop can have an attitude. Not that it’s even excusable in a Barney’s, but please, just b/​c you might be re-​selling clothes from Barney’s doesn’t mean you need to re-​sell the snobby attitude as well.

It’s a very simple place with selective items. There’s not a lot of inventory, but what they have is unique and stylish even though they are gently used items. A few items I did see I found quetionable since one of the Penguin polos looks like it shrunk. I really like what they have displayed. Sizes are a hit or miss. The staff is friendly, but I think the prices are a bit high for the items. I may check back in from time to time.

Once again, i attempted to go to Habit on division, I’ve tried about 4 different times, and each time they are closed, for various reasons. Lucky for them being closed, i walked by New’d and saw a nice coat on the window. I wasn’t really looking for anything, but thought i would try the coat on anyway. the good looking guy behind the counter said hi, i liked that he left me alone and managed to acknowledge me. As a «serious shopper (pff, sure) i went directly to the fitting room. I liked my coat! It was brand new too! not really impulse shopping, i was going to shop for a new coat, just didn’t expect it to be so soon. at any rate, i asked him to hold my coat and kept looking. i didn’t really see anything else, as I’m a lazy shopper, i only like what the mannequins are wearing or if someone shows me something that they’ll know i like… i was hungry too so i decided to split, before i end up impulse shopping for something i didn’t need. i was disappointed that the receipt didn’t have the return policy (as this is the first thing i check, part of the customer service items all stores should have). I asked what his return policy is and he stated that they don’t really have a return policy but if i decided to return the item within a couple of days he would certainly take it back. the way he said that made me at ease. hmm cute! i thought. I think i will go back again.

I found a great pair of jeans, the fabric was a little thin in the but, so he offered me 20% off, that made me happy. I found my husband a great shirt for $ 18. The guy was really friendly and helpful. I will be shopping there more frequently.

Clean boutique. I dig it.
Walked out of there with a Standard Cloth polo for $ 18– descent price for a quality shirt. I wish they had a larger men’s selection but beggars can’t be choosers. I will definitely try to sell some clothes here– great idea.
Nice to see some quality clothes being offered, g-​star, standard cloth and there was killer christian dior oxford– but $ 50 was $ 25 out of my price range. Nice shirt though probably would’ve fit perfect. Damn.

I really do like this store when I am selling clothes, but when I am buying clothes, I never really find my style. However, for the fellas, they seem to carry more along the lines of what’s stylish in this part of Chicago.
So, if I was a guy, I’d probably give the store 5 stars, but because I only find women’s clothes that are a little too generic for my taste, I had to drop it a star. However, if you need to get rid of anything, they usually pay out the highest prices in the area and take stuff that Crossroads or Buffalo Exchange might not like.

After Crossroads I came here with the remainder of my clothes to sell. Once I walked in I new that they probably wouldn’t want anything. They had cute casual clothes but not lounging around casual clothes (simple tshirt and jeans), but i did not walk around and look at stuff and just glanced at what i walked by on my way to the counter.
The store is super small but the two people there were really nice.
I left my stuff there for them to look and hit up milk and honey across the street for some lunch (super cozy on a rainy day). When I got back they showed me the 4 things that they were buying from me, I collected my money and went along my merry way.
i really liked knowing exactly what it was that they wanted of mine, it gives me a good idea for next time (crossroads did not do this).
I didn’t look around but because of the size I’m not too sure how much i’d even find. but its worth checking out.

Well, I enjoyed the service here and I was able to find a really cute pink button up shirt. I’m not sure if I would find anything else there that I would like or nor but I’m definatley open to the idea of going back sometime to see when I have the cash to do so. The store was nice and quaint, as are most of the other stores on the block.

New’d is a true delight. As a former/​current shopper of New’d, I will attest that the selections, price, and overall service is bar none the best in the city. They even have a bowl of delicious goodies set out for all patrons!!(Those ‘Lil Debbie snack cakes still have me salivating) The owner is also a treat himself. He is clean, neat and always has a funny quip about current events and/​or the local sports team.
‘Cheers!’ to the shopper that chooses to open its arms to New’d. This store has has a bright future and will be a vital asset to the bliss of modern boutique shopping.

Yeah, the clothes are fabulous. But the owner is delicious! I’ll take one of him if you know what I mean!

Alas, I didn’t find anything for me, but they did have several fun items in slightly smaller sizes, including a vintage disco Gucci shirt, and a faux retro Gap t-​shirt. Unlike many resale shops, this one looks (and smells!) clean and uncluttered.

An inexpensive clothing store on Division?! Yes, it’s true. My friend Brandon opened this store earlier this Summer and so far I have been very impressed. It looks like a boutique without boutique prices and sells new and used clothing without the used clothing store smell.
Lots of cute summer dresses, jeans, handbags, etc. Oh, and men’s clothes too. Check it out!
