Luca

Other children’s stores take note from Luca — the children’s fenced-​in play area is key to an enjoyable shopping or selling experience. My daughter and I stopped by Luca for the first time last weekend and were pleasantly surprised by this expansive and well-​kept store. Impressive selection of gently used boys and girls clothes, shoes, gear, toys and other items. I have not tried consigning at Luca yet, although I did inquire and it sounds like they only buy on weekdays, which makes it tough for me. They also appear to only buy for the current season. Looking forward to shopping and hopefully consigning too at Luca.

I totally scored here after brunch on the east bay. Well curated, large children’s resale clothing shop with — get this — maternity clothes consignment too (have yet to find a place that resales maternity clothes). Good note for next pregnancy.
I bought a terrycloth baby GAP onesie and a GAP plaid short and onsie comb. Both were half off and cost around $ 3.50 each. I was in the market for a vibrating chair because our babe doesn’t really care for the bassinet we have. I found one made by Boppy that has different music, a plush headrest, and multiple vibrations for only $ 16. Finally, I did pass on this because I already have a k’atan sling, but I really really wanted another one that was practically new in the box for around $ 20. I paid $ 60 new.
I always say that I thank God for blessing us with a boy, because I cannot afford a girl. Everything lady-​like I see I want to buy. So beware if you have a penchant for purchasing for your little girl — they have about triple the inventory.
Owner is really nice — we talked good local brunch places.

I thought I reviewed this years ago, but it turns out it was just a Facebook review so here goes nothing. I didn’t think there were kids clothing consignment shops like this up in Rhode Island. After shopping at a hometown favorite of mine back in St. Pete (Stellie Bellies), I was always disappointed by the kids consignment places around here.
Every store was either musty like a basement and clothes were packed so tight you couldn’t find anything decent or slightly cleaner with absolutely no customer service. I was thrilled when I finally made the «trek» down to Luca. For a Rhode Islander, a 35 minute drive may seem like too long but it has always been worth my while.
The owner Diane keeps an impeccably clean shop filled with gorgeous clothes that sometimes even have the tags on them. I’d never pay full price for a Janie & Jack outfit for my kids since they’ll only get one season from them, but here I can splurge on the kids, guilt-​free.
I’ve both consigned and bought clothes from here for years and have still not found a children’s consignment shop that comes close to Luca’s selection and shopping experience. It will be a sad day when my kids outgrow the clothes I can buy at Luca!

I had a good experience here. They have a lot of great stuff for babies. There seemed to be more girl clothes than boys (I was shopping for my 2 month old baby boy). I found out about the shop when looking for a swing on Craigslist. I was able to buy a like-​new Snugabunny swing for $ 60 less than brand new. They had other new items that I never knew existed (mini trendy looking kneepads for crawlers? What a great idea!). A bit of a drive from Providence, but I’ll be going back to check out what else they have when my little guy grows bigger!

The shop is cute, there’s a parking lot which us nice. They have some nice things. One issue is the quality if it is a name brand they will sell it, even if it looks like it belongs in the trash. I find the shoes to be the best example of this. They are in terrible condition and the prices are high. The staff is irritating, they ask you if you need help and no matter what you save they hover over you. I have tried to go several times calling and emailing with the owner, when I arrive during hours they should be open they are closed. I’ve heard this same complaint from several people.

I visited Luca a few weeks back … Absolutely FABULOUS! This shop is beautiful. You would never know it’s a consignment shop. Everything is neat and organized and so clean! The girls who helped me were all smiles and very helpful. The shop itself is bright and cheery and even has a little place for kids to play safely while mom shops. I can not wait to go back.

honestly, this shop is AMAZING… it gives «consignment & resale» a whole new feel… it’s gorgeous, clean… organized (did i mention clean)…the staff is awesome, the owner is FABULOUS… everything is clean & sized… there’s plenty of room to roam & browse, no stinky «thrift store» smell… it’s light & bright… there’s a parking lot in the back… area for babes to play…
great selection, clothing, shoes, accessories… adorably decorated… you will LOVE this shop…

Stopped in today for my first time. Stylish store with decent clothing but I couldn’t get over the attitudes of the women who worked there. I wasn’t greeted and after wandering aimlessly for what seemed like forever, I asked for help. The lady helped me but acted like I was taking her away from something… from being a unhelpful clerk possibly? Whatever. I get better deals and better clothing at countless other shops — won’t be stopping in here ever again.

Luca is a beautiful consignment store. Everything is in great condition and the store is well laid out and spacious. You don’t feel like you’re digging through racks to find things. I will say that sometimes the clothing prices feel a little pricey — $ 10 for a Ralph Lauren sweater is fantastic any day of the week, but $ 6 for a Crazy 8 t-​shirt when the store itself sells them on promotion for $ 5 isn’t such a bargain. However, their gear is well priced, and you cannot beat their shoe selection. See Kai Run shoes for $ 7, brand new Primigi for $ 25? That’s fantastic. And the people who work there are always friendly and pleasant. Worth the drive!

Luca is a fantastic consignment store, one that you would never realize was consignment except for the fact that everything has a «one of a kind» feel to it. Diane is a friendly and knowledgeable proprietor and the store is well-​designed with lots of space for you to push a stroller, or let your child walk around/​play. I got my daughter fantastic shoes (Pedipeds for an amazing price), immaculate Gap jeans and embroidered pants, skirts, and sleep sacks, for great prices — every time I checked the price on something I said, «Wow!» Everything is in pristine shape — there is nothing here you will have to think twice about buying due to stains or rips or smells. And the headbands, barrettes, and other new goodies for sale are adorable. No you will not get «yard sale» prices here, but this is no yard sale, and you don’t need to dig through trash to find the treasures. They are all displayed beautifully, are clean, have no odors etc. It’s quite a wonderful store.
I am sadly very glad that I don’t live closer to Luca, because I would be here every day, and then run out of money!

I love this boutique. The store is set up very well. The owner is very friendly and helpful. I have shopped here for a number of months and have always found good quality clothing and very reasonably priced. The store does have a Facebook page and highlights merchandise often. This is a must check out.

I drove an hour to see this store and I was so impressed. It is worth the drive. The selection was unbelievable and the shop staff was so nice. The play area is a great addition and kept my 14 month old daughter occupied for over a half hour while I browsed around. I bought some great quality items at unbelievable deals. I will definitely be going back!

Luca is my dream store, offering brand name children’s clothes at excellent prices. The store has a wonderful layout and everything is perfectly clean and pressed. The owner, Diane does a wonderful job at making all of her visitors feel welcome and is glad to help you browse the racks for something specific. Also, if you let her know that you are looking for something specific, she’ll keep her eyes peeled for it when new inventory comes in and let’s you know when she gets it. She goes above and beyond providing excellent customer service. Be sure to «like» Luca’s Facebook page because they often post photos of new items that come in. I make the 45 minute drive there every 2 – 3 weeks and it so worth my time to have a great shopping experience and get great quality clothing for my daughter at unbeatable prices.

I drove down to Luca based on a friend’s recommendation. It took me just under an hour to get there but it was well worth the trip. The store is beautiful. You really feel like you are in a boutique. The owner is so likable and very knowledgable about her items. I bought many things for my daughter, many of them were new with tags and very high end labels.
A previous review said the tag prices on the clothing was high, i didn’t find that at all. I bought Ralph Lauren sweaters for under $ 10. This store will be a regular seasonal stop for me.

I have been consigning and shopping at Luca since the day they opened. Prior to my experience here, I was always wary of purchasing items for my daughter that were previously worn/​used. But the owner has made sure that while shopping here, I never have to worry.
Every item is immaculate and stain/​tear/​damage-​free. The prices are unbelievable on brands like Lily Pulitzer, Mini Boden, and even Burberry! Where else can you get a long-​sleeve Burberry kids shirt for $ 12? To address Allicia M’s review… yes, the prices are a bit steeper here (and I say «steeper» very loosely), BUT this isn’t a yard sale or a thrift store. It’s more than «used clothing.» Half the items even have the original price tags attached! I’ve seen the care they take to examine every item I bring in to consign (both clothes and baby gear), and they are very discriminating.
The store itself is a pleasure to shop in. It’s bright, extremely well organized, and the play area for the kids is the perfect touch for a family-​run business geared towards families.
Huge kudos also for posting «just in» items on their Facebook page and giving you a chance to preview new items every day. It’s like having my own personal shopper!
Congrats to the entire Luca family on a job well done. I can’t wait to be back soon!

I saw Luca Boutique and a product they had that I was very interested in advertised a local listing site. So I emailed the owner before I made my one hour trip to Warren, RI for a stroller. I confirmed her hours and that she still had it the day before. I did leave out that I was driving an hour, didn’t think that info was needed.
I arrived to a beautifully decorated store, I have to say it’s really nice inside and looks very upscale. I checked some of the clothing out and prices, everything was in pretty good condition but a little over priced for my taste on used clothing.
I then approached the owner about the stroller I had emailed her about and she was like «Oh the Quinny, yeah, I was just about to give that back to the owner. It won’t fold and I can’t sell it like that».
So you couldn’t just shoot me an email and save me the trip; I mean seriously, that’s the right thing to do. I guess that common courtesy never occurred to her.
The stroller wouldn’t fold, we didn’t know if it was broken or she just didn’t know how to fold it. The stroller itself was in really raggedy condition anyway.
She did mention on more than one occasion that it had been there since January when she opened, wasn’t selling, and that the owner just told her to sell it for whatever you can get for it.
We offered her $ 75 less than what she was asking for a four year old beat up, stained up, stroller with a chipped up and banged up frame that wouldn’t fold. She refused and said that she needed to talk to the owner fist. Either way, pending what the owner said, she said she would meet me half way into my trip to deliver it. This was before she found out I was an hour away.
She did email me a day later and tell me the owner came in and folded it up no problem so it was all good. She never did offer to drive it thirty minutes one way like she originally said.
I’ve since found one in much better condition for just about the same price.
Luca boutique is over priced, even their uppababy stroller was over what the going used rate is. Maybe because the store looks fancy the owner believes it’s ok to overprice used items. The owner doesn’t know what she is doing and is clearly new in this business.
I sadly don’t recommend Luca boutique.

Luca is an amazing consignment store. Everything is easy to find and the space is wide open, bright and beautiful. You feel like you are walking around a high end boutique. I’ve gotten amazing clothes for my son at incredible prices and everything was name brand and most even still had the price tags on it. The owner is very nice and great to deal with. I’ve even consigned with her and the process was seamless. I will be a frequent customer of Luca.

This is such a great space and the prices are great! The décor is adorable and the children’s area is a big hit. I will definitely shop again.

This is by far the most stunning consignment shop I have ever seen. It’s wide open and bright. Everything from the window displays to the signage and displays are welcoming and appealing. It has a fantastic children’s area that kept my kids quite while I shopped for a good solid hour. In addition to some amazing second hand clothes, the boutique carries unique gifts for that upcoming baby shower. I hope to frequent Luca often.

If it was just for the store’s attractiveness I would give it 5 stars. But then there’s the array of great quality clothing, the great prices, the fact that you can actually walk around in there, the well stocked play area, and the friendly staff. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.
