Candace Deej I’d been looking forward to this new Plato’s Closet for awhile. Larger space, better layout, the kind of glow-up that actually seemed promising.
Then I saw the prices.
Forty-five dollars for used boots? At that point I’ll walk into any department store, buy them new, and avoid the inevitable heartbreak when the sole gives up after three wears. Eighteen dollars for an oversized sweater that’s already seen a few seasons of someone else’s life?Please. The whole point of places like this is to let the perpetually broke still dress well, not to cosplay as a marginally cheaper boutique.
Value Village, ten minutes away, has the same brands in better condition for literally half the price. This store didn’t just raise prices; it quietly defected from the entire thrift mission statement.
Came in optimistic, left wondering why I bothered. Hard pass.
