Cutest thrift store I’ve EVER been too!!! It is a bit more pricey than normal thrifts but still so adorable!! They always have sales going on and sell local jewelry, lotions, stickers, etc. Definitely will be back.

Wife loves this place. Consignment used clothing store . I wanted to give it four stars, because I have been waiting in the car for an hour. But happy wife happy life.🤷‍♂️

First time in the store, (new to NC) Would have liked to join the reward program... but no one mentioned it to me when I checked out. Only found out about it online, when I looked it up. Clothes were arranged by color, but couldnt pull anything out to look at due to over packed racks.

The owner Katrina & the whole crew are experienced pro when it comes to nails. The place is clean & well organized.

The Fairy Circle is a great place for shop for low priced, gently used items. On at least two trips I found high-end brand name dresses for less than $5 each in like new condition. My teenager loves shopping their clearance racks that are frequently marked down to $1 a peice. There are shoes, purses, clothing, and some outerwear. They also have new jewelry and some other accessories including a good selection of incense. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is they have a very limited selection of items over a size 14. Other than that they have plenty of juniors, misses, and mens items.

Not an amazing selection of mens clothes, but the way they handle consignment and offer to donate excess clothing is awesome

The Fairy Circle is my favorite thrift store in Wilmington. They have a very large selection of clothes, the staff is very friendly as well! The pricing is fair, and they even have a large clearance section of $2 items. The area is fairly hard to get in and out of, but that is the only downside!

Never disappoints. I never leave empty handed. Prices are fair and not like alot of these other second hand stores who are pricing their merchandise at Belk Berry and Rodeo Dr. prices vs. the fair price for a preowned item. Love my fairy circle #1 go to place for all occasions!

This place is a wonderful thrift & consignment shop with a flourish of magic. Ive gotten wonderful finds here, including some boots woth $145 for $40. They sell not only used and gently used apparel, shoes, and accessories but also jewelry (new and used), tapestries, incense, skincare, and stickers.

They have a good selection but i must say they are not very clean. Nothing is washed before brought in on consignment...how do you sell something for any dollar amount that is dirty? I bought a few items before i noticed this. Glad i didnt try anything on in the store. I would have felt so gross. Once i got home and took tags off, i always wash my clothes even when brand new, put everything into washer an notices a small tear in a work out shirt i bought and sweat stains in a button up shirt i picked out for my fiance. Shirt was tan and hard to see in the store, nor did i think i needed to do a full inspection before buying it. Even salvantion army washes there clothes and inspects every artical before putting it out on the rack. I wasnt impressed for the lack of employee care and price paid. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone after my experience, Unfortunately...

Might be a good place to purchase but dont waste your time trying to sell here. My son took a lot of very nice brand name mens clothes here and made a pittance on them. When he tried to find some of his stuff in the store he could not locate any. No receipt received so could not prove anything. Seems a little shady.

Review №16

Large selection of items and prices are decent. I shopped here awhile ago, but I have little desire to go back. I noticed that some items had stains or buttons missing once I came home and I washed them and I was putting the item on or ironing it. Yes, it is partly the customer’s responsibility since there are fitting rooms and we can take our time to examine the clothes. I’m just wondering if the staff examines the items carefully before putting them on their racks. I’ve been to numerous consignment stores with similar business models or those that pay cash upfront (while traveling or living in different cities) and I felt comfortable buying clothes, shoes, and handbags without having to inspect them with a magnifying glass. Lastly, their prices do not reflect the defects, if there are any present. Once again, I feel like they take any items as long as they are a specific brand or style and hang them up without inspecting them. Then they charge what they would if the item was in good to excellent condition. I would consider shopping there again, but I would be extra cautious and inspect everything carefully unless the item was new with tags.

Walked in with my mask on and my father in law did as well he was trying to get it adjusted as it kept sliding off for the staff to yell at him to get his mask on. Obviously hes trying to. Woman running a second hand shop of used clothing that is marked as new prices is ridiculous. Was trying to shop felt uncomfortable as the staff kept starring at us snickering making rude faces. You could tell they were talking about us. Family of 5 plus my father in law they missed out on a sale. I walked out and left and as they so smugish said have a great day as I walked out I yelled ya you too. Yall need to find a new profession apparently working at a used facility with a diversity of people is beneath yall. Acting better than your customers and being rude will not get your bussiness far. Will not return took my business somewhere else.

I always find beautiful clothes, shoes, jewelry at such an affordable price for the brand of clothing. The best part of this store is that you can take clothing to donate their and open an account with them where the pay you for cloths you donate in this account you set up and you can use your account to buy cloths you love at the store. They have all sizes for teens and up.

Review №34

I don’t understand how weird business model like this is still running! They accepted my items to sell in the store two months ago, when I went back for my items that hasn’t been sold, they left a bag of my items still in the basket with a note saying that those are too similar to their own stuff. But nobody ever bother to gave me a call in two months. That is why none of my items were sold. I spend an hour try to find four items that belong to me among million of items. I still couldn’t find one item. By the way, they marked a pair of my shoes for $15, there is no one would ever buy that shoes for that high price. They didn’t even give me any receipt of my items, how am I supposed to know if anything are missing or how much they suppose to pay me after the items are sold. I think the store should just ask people to give away their unwanted items and make tons of money instead. Never go back again.

Review №37

This is a good consignment store for the under 30 crowd. I did not notice a smell. The clothing was not the highest quality, but was clean and well kept. I found a nice pair of Ralph Lauren shoes (new-no scuff marks on the sole) for $10. and a small purse for $3.50. So, it was quite worthwhile and fun.

Review №44

I always go here hoping to find something but as a plus sized girl, I always leave disappointed. The selection isnt great here if youre above a size 10. The next problem is I feel they charge retail prices for most of their merchandise for second hand clothes. I always see things in there I know are almost full price. Id rather just buy something new than what they charge for second hand.

I agree that this is the worst consignment shop. I have never consigned with a shop that did not gather your clothes and give them back to you. I was told they had 1200 customers and did not have the time to help you find your clothes but they have the time to gather them to donate them. I can assure them they have 1199 customers now. The girl working in there was very rude to me. She was just standing around talking to another employee and refused to help me. I think the owner should change this policy.

Review №97

Looked OK from offline. When I went in the smell was like old ppl and a Goodwill smell. It turned me off. My daughter 10 was looking at purses but the prices for an old purse was ridiculous. I had to kindly tell her no we can go to Justice and buy you a new one for that 13.99 -19.99. No brand just reg old purse.lol The store is closed in with so much stuff and a lot to choose from thats why I gave it 2**. It will work for some ppl, I just couldnt get passed the smell. I was looking for more of an upscale consignment for business. This wasnt it.
