Fairy Circle Consignment Clothing

I suppose what makes this place exceptional is Ashlie — and of course a pretty decent selection of men’s clothing.
What ticks me off, as a guy shopper, they never reduce men’s clothing like they do with the women’s — that should be against the law!
Change that up or I won’t be back!

Great place to shop — horrible to consign. They have no security in place… I consigned a number of items with them. When I went to pick up the items that didn’t sell, several were missing. Their response was ‘We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.’ They could care less that my items were missing — just very quick to displace accountability. I am missing two pairs of pants, a shirt, and a pair of boots. I would not recommend consigning any apparel of value with them. There are other shops in town that do have security to take your more valuable pieces to.

I’ve shopped here, I’ve sold here, I’ve become quite the fan of this place. They will take your gently used clothes, men and women, and sell them for you and then pay you cash after they sell. (they only pay out on the 15 — 20^th of each month.)
The selection is usually mixed with designer, vintage and regular name brands. I’ve found a wonderful Oscar De La Renta paisley kimono for only $ 18 so that gives you an idea of their kickass prices.
They carry jewelry, incense for $ 2 a box and handbags and shoes. I also appreciate that they will separate the clothes by designer and everything else.
The one and only reason they are getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because if you find a piece you love and then try it on and find out it has defects, that’s disappointing. They will give you a discount because it’s broken/​ripped/​has a hole in the crotch, but to me that doesn’t seem worth it. I don’t want to buy a pair of Citizen for Humanity jeans with a hole in the crotch and broken zipper for $X off the $ 40 price tag. But if that’s something you’re cool with whatever.
Every employee here is really nice, and I like that the selection changes regularly. If you’re a treasure hunter on a budget then this is a must stop spot for you.

The Fairy Circle is my first stop any time I go shopping. There is always some kind of treasure on the $ 2.00 rack. Great for the broke compulsive shopper! Not to mention I’m always exited to find I have credit unexpectedly!

I used to go to fairly circle a lot. it has quite some cute stuff so it’s fun to shop. However, i was very unhappy with my consignment experiences. The first time they lost one of my items and I said it’s Ok, no big deal. But then it happened again and it was a really nice warm trench coat which I had planned to get back. I was told initially that they will give me some kind of store credit but then when I was ready to claim the credit, I was told oh, according to the consignment terms, the store is not responsible for any lost items. I was shocked to hear that! I think the truth is they sold it but didn’t put it in the computer. I don’t know if this was done intentionally but it can be definitely done accidentally. The store is not well managed. There is always clothing on the floor and the whole store is overwhelmingly packed. It is also apparently understaffed so I wouldn’t be surprised if stuff got stolen or didn’t get registered when sold. I would NOT consign with them again. Although I probably go there once in a while. their clearance is still an incredibly good deal.

Awesome place! This is the first and favorite place to consign. I have been to a few other consignment places around town (first and last time) that were very snobby, but these girls are incredible inviting. Their handmade jewelry/​misc item section is always fun to shop through.

This is my new favorite consignment shop! Tons of gorgeous goodies to choose from with terrific sale racks and fantastic prices!
The only suggestion I would like to make is to get larger sizes in clothing. I had a great time browsing the selections, since my size was available, but I have several friends who love the clothing, but could find nothing in their size.
Otherwise, everything else (clothing, accessories, store and service) was perfect! And I will be returning. :o)

I agree completely with Amanda H.‘s review. I will add though that I have also consigned with Fairy Circle and made cash from my unwanted clothing. I am able to collect this cash during a given window of time every month, or use it towards merchandise in the store any time I want.
Overall, I’m a fan and have and will continue to recommend to shoppers and consigners alike.

Times being what they are, my sister and I take the opportunity on this drizzly afternoon to scout out a secondhand store recommended by Courtney Dunn of the Wilmington Fashion Report. Not a fan of the mall (read: malls make me want to curl up in a ball on the floor, squeeze my eyes shut and cover my ears until it’s all over), I’m always on the lookout for unique, affordable fashion.
I have to say, though, I’m a little stumped when we pull up to The Fairy Circle. Firstly, under no circumstances would I normally check out a place with such an unfortunate and inaccurate moniker, but Courtney had photographic evidence that the goods were… well… good. The storefront, however, suggests that we’re about to enter a den of wicken wonders, filled with gauzy dresses and herbal remedies. There may even be a unicorn involved.
hen you open the door and a cloud of incense hits you full on. Push forth, my friends, because beyond this strange veil lies a veritable treasure chest of fashion finds.
While you will discover a small section of the requisite handmade, flowy shirts and floor-​length skirts, the majority of the store showcases racks upon racks of gently used clothing from well-​known stores, designer labels and boutique brands. It’s apparent that The Fairy Circle is selective in their buying, which makes the shopping painfully easy. We’ve only been in the store for twenty minutes when we find our arms too loaded to continue and have to make a break for the fitting rooms.
My sister makes out with a Nanette Lepore knit dress ($ 49), and a killer aqua faux leather jacket from Forever 21 ($ 10). I manage to whittle down my pile to a Maggy London halter dress ($ 18), but it’s painful to leave so much behind. A return trip is planned.
In addition to women’s clothing, the store has a great selection of accessories (belts, bags, shoes, and an extensive jewelry section) and a small area for men’s clothing as well. The fitting area includes a couch and a couple of cozy chairs, making waiting for your turn (or for your indecisive sister) pretty painless.
And so it turns out that Courtney does, in fact, know her stuff. We may smell faintly of patchouli, but we made out like bandits. Mission accomplished.
