Cida’s Consignment

We have been going here for the past two years, the ladies that work here are very nice and friendly as is the owner. With so much to choose from leave yourself plenty of time.

High end, yes. Over priced, yes! Rude owner, yes. I quit going here years ago as none of the sales staff is very pleasant and Cida is downright nasty. When they «lost» the clothes I put on consignment, Cida yelled and me and told me they were trash anyway. I never got paid and I never got my clothes back. Shop here if you really think you have to, but don’t consign here!

I’ve been a regular client of Cida’s consignment for almost 2 years.
I started by selling designer shoes, purses, and clothing that I no longer wore. Their pricing system is fair, but be careful if they mark your clothing for sale below $ 50. If this is the case, you will not be returned clothing if it doesn’t sell. It will be donated. Payments are given at the end of the following month and be meticulous about picking up your unsold items on time.
As someone that used to pay for designer clothes (St. John, DVF, Tory Burch, Gucci, etc) in regular department stores, the clothing at Cida’s is fairly priced. (many items still have price tags or are in excellent condition).
After visiting most of the consignment stores in the Orlando area, Cida’s is the best place if you are searching for designer pieces. I disagree with previous reviews stating pricing is too high. People who are expecting to find a $ 500-​$ 5000 dress/​suit for under $ 50 should be searching garage sales, not consignment stores.

I gave this place a decent review a while ago but I made a large purchase from them that completely changed my views on this store.
I have been dying to get a Louis Vuitton bag for a while so my boyfriend agreed to get me a used one from here as a gift. $ 850 on a used bag. I did a lot of research and there were a couple signs that made me hesitant about the bag not being authentic but I was assured by the owner that all of their bags go through a thorough inspection as well as a cross checking of the serial numbers.
So we get the bag and take it to Louis Vuitton to get it cleaned and switch out the strap. As I hand the bag over to the associate she takes one glance at it and waves over a manager for further inspection. They quietly inform me that the bag is not authentic and ask me to leave. How. Freaking. Embarrassing.
(Side note: Louis Vuitton is able to confiscate fake bags, luckily the store was extremely busy so they let me go)
I immediately called Cida’s and told them what happened and the sales associate told me she would speak to the manager because they normally do not accept returns. Once we arrived at the store I explained to them that the bag was not authentic and that I had it looked at by both a sales associate and manager at Louis Vuitton. Here’s the best part… The owner told me that the bag was real and that the people at Louis Vuitton didn’t know what they were talking about because this specific bag came from Europe, not the US. News flash Louis Vuitton doesn’t change their bags based on what country it’s sold in. They’re all about consistency.
To wrap up this long story I was able to get my money back but the owner was so adamant that the bag was real that she put it back up for sale that very same day.
Do your research and be very aware of what you are purchasing before you decide to drop some major cash on one of their «authentic used designer handbags»

Honestly, usually not a fan of consignment stores, but Cida’s changed my mind today! Great high end, quality, affordable items with cute décor and friendly staff. I’m bummed I didn’t find out about this place sooner!

This is a very high end consignment store. The shop ladies were both very nice and helpful. They have really high end brands like St. John, Chanel, Escada, Armani, etc. The clothes are all clean and in excellent condition. They were having a sale when we went so I got a pair of True Religion jeans for 50% off for $ 23! ;-) We also picked up a pink leather Kate Spade wallet for $ 45, and a Nicole Miller long silk beaded evening gown on sale for $ 80. This is my new favorite shop in Winter Park.

I can’t make the reviews posted match with my experiences at Cida’s. While the space is small, the clothes are organized so that it is easy to find the category of clothing you want. The staff has been incredibly nice and helpful every time I’ve been there.
I’m a shopper. I love looking at clothes so I’m aware of the price tags that the labels Cida’s carries command when new and Cida’s prices are amazing bargains — better than consignment prices for similar items in other cities.
Well worth the time to vist, look and find some terrific clothes

European Couture Consignment. That’s the tagline for Cida’s in Winter Park. And I would have to agree with them.
Their semi-​used clothing is in great shape and almost looks new. It’s all very chic and fashion savvy. And the price tags back that up. Although you are paying for a once super pricey frock, the tags still seemed high to me. I have never purchased a Diane Von Furstenberg dress off the rack so I cannot personally attest to the fact that you are getting a bargain at Cida’s. But the $ 75 fee for the dress there didn’t match up in my brain with what a consignment shop is.
Overall though, the store was lovely to walk through – very feminine and flowery. It was a fairly small space with a lot of stuff, so if you want to see all they have to offer, take some time to do so. I also fell in love with their shoe collection. Great styles and very little wear and tear to the ones displayed.
As I was leaving I noticed their sale rack which was very affordable – most pieces were only $ 5.

Everyone knows that designer clothes are not cheap and neither are the shops on Park Avenue… and this includes Cida’s Consignment shop. You would think that because they’re used or pre-​owned they would be far cheaper than the actual retail price. Clearly that isn’t the case. Cida’s merchandise, although used, is not cheap. While the quality may be good and the condition of the items above average, why pay almost full price for something that is not brand new? I just don’t understand I guess. I say if you’re going to get something name brand and pay a lot for it, might as well get it from a department store and not a consignment shop.
