Revive

I went there twice and left with an armload of items of designers I love both times, like 7, Marc Jacobs & a balenciaga purse for somewhere around $50.

Listen-I was born and raised in Austin, Texas so I know consignment shops to a "T". After moving to Kansas City I quickly scoured the town for the best in the area-and headed off to several in both Westport and Overland Park that Yelp claimed were some of the best in town. This shop, however, is BY FAR heads and shoulders above the rest. When you walk into this store everything about it screams upscale, chic, modern-yet-vintage boutique. The decor is perfection (and something I always promise I will try to craft for my own home) and the window displays are perfectly styled to give you an idea of the season's trends and the store's offerings. The owners/staff are also the most welcoming, friendly bunch I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. (I can tell you I've walked into Ditto and Clothz Minded several times and never once been told "Hi" or treated like a valued customer. ) And if the initial greeting doesn't sell you-try plucking something off the rack and wait to see how long it takes one of the owners or staff to offer to place your items in a fitting room for you a-la-Free People and other high end boutiques. THAT'S customer service, my friends.As far as some of these negative reviews go-I'd like to remind everyone that one of the most important parts of owning a store like this is knowing your buyer. They can't buy everything you want to sell them-they'd hemorrhage money like crazy if they purchased everything people bring in. If the put forth the money for purchase-they need to know the item is going to have a buyer. I know it's hard to walk into a store, hopeful that you will receive a ton of money for items you no longer want. But unfortunately if you no longer want them you have to realize there's a good chance that others won't either. And it's Revive's job to make that tough decision so when I - as their buyer - go there looking for new fashion finds I'm not slapped in the face with ten year old GAP pieces that were on trend in 2009 or a plethora of forever 21, american eagle and other teeny bopper brands that have no place being in the wardrobe of anyone over 15 (I'm looking at you Ditto. *glare*)And this is why I can't say enough great things about this store. ALL of the clothing I've purchased has been on trend, in perfect condition (sometimes NWT) and sold at MUCH better prices than online retailers or other local consignment stores. I've walked out with Free People and Marc Jacobs for under $10. I've purchased a $1000 limited edition AUTHENTIC Coach bag from them for $350 after discounts. And EVERY time I visit I purchase at least one jewelry item that the owner has specifically purchased a gold and silver version of to sell in the store (if the silver version is out-I've probably gotten there before you. :D) And that says a LOT about this store and the owner's understanding of the fashion industry. As a buyer I feel like this store was MADE for me. Do I like everything they have on the racks? No. Do I walk in every time thinking "Ugh, this is my favorite store and I'm about to do some damage?" Yes.Do yourself a favor and give this shop a try. Don't let the negative reviews fool you-this place is a gem that'd I'd completely miss if I ever left KC. * And in response to the lone review about the replica bag-do homework before ever purchasing something from a brand like Louis Vuitton or Coach that is known to be easily counterfeited. If you are ever unsure and authenticity is of great concern to you-I'd recommend checking out readily available online guides to assist you in your purchase. Revive's owners are human-good fakes happen to the best of us.

I brought in a handful of items, mostly upscale, a few not so upscale. Out of all the items including the higher priced ones, they took a $80 purse and a $30 sweater and offered $10. I get it that they are trying to make a profit, and that it wasn't personal, but it was almost a slap in the face. I said I would take he purse back and she told me to just take it all back. It was insulting because of how she said it. I will not be coming back here to sell my items.

Wonderful staff! I have gone twice in the past few weeks with different bundles of clothing, and both times, the workers were fair and gave me a decent amount of cash and complimented my style. In the past few years, I had a negative opinion towards Revive. For example, last summer, I sold a brand new pair of Steve Madden boots ($110 retail), two pairs of Nike running shorts, and two tops, and they gave me $17.. not fair at all. However, I decided to give the store another chance, and I have noticed a difference in the staff and the fairness of pricing when it comes to giving sellers cash. Every staff member I have encountered this summer has been respectful, kind, and approachable! Revive is definitely my new go-to store to sell clothes now in Kansas City. Keep up the good work!

Revive used to be the place I would go to first to sell my clothes. I brought in a large basket full of nice, clean clothing. They bought 4 items out of 30+ items that I brought in. The lady looking through my clothing kept asking the cashier what she thought about a certain item of my clothing, the cashier replied, "it's old ..." It is unprofessional to talk about the sellers clothing, in front of the seller. Revive is not the consignment shop that I remember when they first started out. Revive sells to many high end items, such as Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, and Kate Spade. I liked it when they sold moderate priced items. After my experience today, I will not be selling to them any longer.

There are many clothing items missing buttons, stains etc. one could certainly purchase new items at these ridiculous prices.

Okay I never leave reviews for like anything, but the women working here are SO. NICE. I went in to sell some stuff and they gave me a very reasonable offer, I didn't feel like I got scammed like you sometimes do at Plato's. So I was looking around shopping and their prices are great too! I got the cutest lulu dress for under 50$!!! Love this place and their boutique side is adorable also.

I visited the store last week and I'm very impressed on what they have! The owner is very nice and polite! Store is very clean and they sell a lot of fun and high end stuff! I already told my daughter and my sister about this store I would definitely tell all my friends too!

I've brought clothes in twice now, one pile last year and one this year. I am from New York and have a lot of high end brands that may not be familiar to these workers. They only want typical basic brands like MK. They don't offer much of anything, I would not attempt to sell anything back again. I just think that if you're in the retail and fashion field you should really be up to date on brands and good quality clothing.

Beautiful store and friendly service. I was greeted immediately and shown to the back counter to sell my clothing items. I did not purchase anything today but will be back for sure!
