I'd been here once only with my husband to sell our baby clothes. The service seemed fine. We just had to wait a bit because there were other customers before us. We brought a BIG bag and they took most of it and we left the... (more)

I have been to pretty much all the resale kids stores in the bay area, and i will have to say that Lauren's Closet has BY FAR the best selection around. You can find something from infants to now they carry Juniors... (more)

I have to agree with the previous posters that the store owners are extremely unfriendly and unwilling to help. I have brought clothes a few times and have left with an impression of my clothes not being good enough.... (more)

I am confused why the store is picky when it comes to buying kids clothing, since the racks are filled with faded, shrunken, and cheap looking clothes. Granted, there are occassional cute items, but I would think the... (more)

I went to Lauren's Closet looking for mittens for my baby. First, I was ignored by the salesperson, then I got a total attitude for asking for help. Hmmm . . . something tells me she is in the wrong business.... (more)

We have. We live in Alameda & have had too many horrible experiences there. The staff (mother/owner and grandmother are the worst offenders) is rude & doesn't seem to care if you come back or not. Used clothes tend to be... (more)

Well this is the place to shop. They have cute clothes,brand names, and major snobs. I think that the staff at Lauren's closet need reality checks. They are in resale of used clothes. You are not at Nordstroms selling... (more)

I have spent $100's of dollars at Lauren's closest over of years. Their clothes are very hit or miss since they are second hand. After looking at lots of drab worn ugly clothing, I may find one or two items sometimes... (more)

I was really disappointed with the staff. They act irritated when you ask a question and treat you like you're stupid for not knowing. They certainly won't ask you if you need help, you have to bother them to get it. They... (more)

I went into the store and was ignored for 5 minutes. When I finally spoke to the clerk, she told me that it was my responsibility to ask for help an that most of their customers did not need help. There customer service... (more)

Lauren's Closet has lots of very nice, barely-used clothing for the fashion-conscious tot. The staff can be aloof to downright condescending, but the clothes are very nice, as are the toys. A good place to find a... (more)

The clothes are not as popular as the ones available in the huge department stores, but here you can find more unique clothes locally. I recommend this store because there are very nice people who work here, dedicated... (more)
