The Scene
McShane's Exchange packs a lot into its small space, but manages to keep it neat and inviting. By specializing in only women's clothing and accessories, McShane's makes room for all sizes, from petite to full-figured. Selling mostly casual and business-casual, McShane's has chosen a tasteful selection on consignment of everything from shoes to scarves, jeans to blazers, T-shirts to formal dresses. Whenever possible, clothing is grouped by color, making a pretty rainbow of colors on the racks.
The Goods
Great deals are par for the course, as sales continue throughout the year, with color-coded tags indicating a percentage off the marked price (between 10 and 70 percent off). Although designer labels predominate, there are also labels from retailers like Banana Republic and the Gap. The new non-sale items are housed in a smaller back room.

The first time I heard the rules for consignors I knew this place wasn't for me (I was told to drop my things off at the back door. Anything they didn't want they'd donate. Huh??). After reading other consignor's reviews I'm so glad I didn't take my beautiful designer clothes here. I recently popped in as a shopper out of mere curiosity. This place looks cute from the outside but holds no appeal once you pass through the front door. It's either poorly lit or bare light bulbs blind the view of the crowded, subpar merchandise. It's a place crammed full of dated, saggy, worn inventory. What qualifies as "designer" clothing here completely misses the mark.

This review applies to both McShanes stores. I agree with the person who had a bad experience consigning. I brought in some very nice items, many that I am sure she sold for more than the money that was given to me, even minus her commission. As for the items that should have been returned to me I was told to walk around the store and find them myself. I only found two of the items that belonged to me and there should have been at least 20. I agree that the owner is rude and she would do her store a favor if she stayed home. The other girls are very nice. I feel sorry for them because I have seen her act rudely towards her own employees. She appears to be a micro manger. I will never consign here again. For over 79 items I only made around $200 and I had some very high end items. Many of my unsold items disappeared and I don't know what happened to them. Sketchy.
