Fantastic day with my daughter!

If you want a fun day of thrifting this is a MUST!! I have to admit I am not a big thrifter as those stores overwhelm me! But my daughter loves to thrift. Having our own personal shopper made ALL the difference. She know where to go, knew the people, and picked out great finds for us that we would have never found on our own! For about $500 my daughter practically has a whole new wardrobe! we actually had to buy another suitcase to take it all home! LOL. I had the ultimate find of a Chanel duffle bag for an unbeatable price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thanks Isra. You are the best!

Operator response

yahooo!! New wardrobe success! We are so grateful your daughter had such success on the ultimate NYC secondhand shopping experience - and that YOU (the mom!) had a great time too! We really try to create an experience which speaks to everyone. We hope to have you back next year for another wardrobe revamp!

The best shopping spree!! 💗

I cannot recommend this secondhand shopping day tour enough! It was our first time in NYC and it can be so overwhelming with all the choices. What’s so brilliant about this tour is it makes the shopping experience so effortless and fun, you have all the best shops mapped out for you! Our tour guide Mecca was fantastic. She was so lovely and welcoming, it felt as if we were shopping with a friend! She has the best eye, took the time to get to know our style and gave tips on what would suit our shape and colouring. This shopping tour made us feel so inspired and excited to try new things and looks. We left with several bags of goodies and the biggest smiles on our faces. Thanks so much Mecca and Samantha, it was the best!!

Operator response

We are so grateful to YOU! Thank you for this lovely review and for your kindness. We are beyond grateful for guests such as yourself. Come back and book with us again soon!

Second shopping and styling tour.

Our favorite part of the experience was Sammy herself! My daughter (Shiloh) and I had never been to New York or had a personal styling tour.. I appreciate Sammy’s expertise and friendly personality! I also love that she knows all the amazing spots that we otherwise would have missed. I highly recommend everyone to make this a part of your New York experience! We love you, Sammy! -Your Texas Friends 😉

Operator response

;-) ;-) I am so glad glad to read this my new friends. We hope to have you back in the Big Apple for another secondhand shopping spree!
