So I’m just gonna make something clear. And the only reason is because I’m trying to be a great different type of “high end thrift shop” which is something Carlsbad has never ever had. And if we have had, I am not aware.
Just in case you are not familiar with the brands I’m going to give a lil class. So names like the ones I started putting out in my shop: Lululemon, Alo, Vuori, just to name a few, are all expensive to buy new at those stores. Even buying them preloved is expensive. I do not get these for free. They are not donated to me. I actually pay for all my clothing as nobody “donates” at least not here in Carlsbad America, these type of brands. So with that being said, please don’t come in being rude and nasty when you see a new Lululemon scuba jacket that generally cost 188$ at lululemon and I have priced at $98 new also, making remarks are how ridiculous my pricing is. There is a reason I only used to sell these online. Because they sell online without the nasty bitterness of uneducated salty tongues that seem to think it’s ok to walk into a business and talk crap to the employees about our pricing. Do yourself a favor and look up these brands before you start being nasty. I do also carry “regular” brands to fit everyone’s pocket. So just keep walking to our regular clothing.
Sorry for the rant but at this point I’m very close to closing up shop and just offering $1 items as most people want. There is a reason we don’t have nice stores locally. As it is, I don’t get much traffic and with these people’s help on saying negative stuff about my high end items to others, doesn’t help me.
Carlsbad, do better! This is NOT a yard sale. This is a small locally owned business struggling to stay afloat. If you can’t afford the nice stuff, keep strutting to your level but no need to be ugly.
On a positive nice note: thank you to those that do recognize these brands and appreciate the prices I’m able to get you on the nice stuff you like. Thank you to my faithful customers that keep coming back and bringing new customers that do appreciate what we are trying to bring you and discounted prices already. Because while I do have the original high end items I also bring you inspired 1.1 nice even better priced items. Yall are the ones that keep me going!
