Broke Sister #2's Review
Debutante’s I and II are family owned (husband and wife) consignment boutiques! Debutante’s I, in Moorestown NJ, is absolutely the cutest and classiest little store right on Main Street. It is close to many other little stores and eateries not to mention Moorestown itself is just beautiful so why not make a day of it with your girlfriend like I did with my Broke Sister!!
If you decide to go to this store beware parking is not very convenient but don't let this be a reflection of the store!! There is street parking close to the store and it is metered so bring a quarter with you. Good thing is 1 quarter will last an hour!! Close by the store about a block away or so there is free parking behind the stores. I recommend taking the first spot you see because if you pass this little store it is blocks before you can turn around to come back and park close because it is in a busy part of town. Inside the store it is super cute!! The owner (wife runs the one in Moorestown) was really nice. The items in this store were gorgeous and displayed very nicely. In addition they had many displays with purses, shoes, outfits etc. It didn’t seem to cluttery like some stores I have been in so you dont get the second hand feel in this store. The store being small in this case is a good thing because you can soak up all there is to see and really take your time and look around. The quality of the items you will find in this store is amazing but expect to pay the price for them. I don't think I could shop here regularly but again that is just how my bank account works. With all of that said the items were amazing. If you are looking for name brand, high quality, or just plain elegance this store has it. Coach bags, DG bags, fur coats, beautiful cocktail dresses…they have it all.
As for Debutante’s II on the other hand... while this store was a bit bigger and prices for some reason seemed a little better I will not be going to this store again. The gentleman who I believe to be the owner was very nice and made sure we knew just where to look for the sales which was ½ off most if not all of their summer items. After the discount the prices were really good. However, there was an older woman that worked in the store that truly made me feel like I was a criminal. She looked at me like I was nuts when I walked in with my children. Then it seemed every time I turned around she was there watching me. I picked out a dress to try on and she was kind enough to place in the dressing room for me while I continued to shop but when she realized I was not interested in purchasing the dress she gave me a serious attitude. I could not WAIT to get out of this store.
Again, the quality was wonderful, the dressing rooms were small but sufficient and set up very elegantly like the rest of the store, the store displays were elegant and again the gentleman in the store who I believe to be the owner couldn’t be nicer!
Over all I don't think I would go on a regular basis but I will go back again without my kids and really search for a great deal, after all I am a Broke Sister not a rich one.
The stores were very nice and very organized. It was quite obvious that a lot of time and effort and pride goes into making both of these stores happen and as a consignment shopper that is much appreciated. I would recommend this store to you but be prepared to pay for the quality you are getting...this store truly has only the best of the best...not a bad thing!!
Broke Sister #1's Review
Debutante's I, in Moorestown, NJ has been one of my favorite consignment stores to visit. I discovered it about 2 years ago while driving around. I don't frequent the store that often but have found some of what I consider to be really good finds. Last year I bought a pair of light brown suede boots lined with fur that can cuff down in brand new condition for $35, in addition to a beautiful red Liz Claiborne purse that looks like alligator skin for $20.
The Moorestown store is very quaint and small in size. Have you ever walked into a store and just loved being there? Well this is how I feel when I walk into Debutante's I. It's very cozy. When you walk in you do not feel like you are in a second hand store at all. Everything is displayed beautifully, and is very well organized.
Like my broke sister mentioned, the parking situation isn't the most convenient as it is metered, street, parellel parking unless you want to find a parking lot up in the busier part of the town and walk, just wear comfy shoes. The town, itself, is just adorable anyway.
Just like their website says, they carry "top notch" items with an array of designer names. Again, when it comes to prices, I'm going to have to agree with my broke sister and say it's a little too pricey for someone with kool-aid pockets. But that's not to say if you frequent the store you won't find a really good deal! I have! Just not today.
I noticed in both locations that the sizes range from 4 to 16 in clothes and up to a 12W in shoes!
As for Debutante's II, nice store, a little bigger in size and they offer a little more variety, ESPECIALLY if you are looking for jeans, and jackets.
I'd say that in comparison of the two locations, Debutante's I is more evening wear, business casual, and dressy where as Debutante's II offers the same as I, in addition to very casual, shorts, jeans, and dress down clothes. Everything is STILL "top notch" very clean, well organized, and displayed beautifully.
Prices are the same in Debutante's II as I, the only difference TODAY is that II was having big sales 50% to 80% off their summer stuff.
Will I go back again? I'll continue visiting Debutante's I looking for treasures, II on the other hand, possibly.
I have to agree with Broke Sister #1 in that I would return to Debutante's I before I would go back to II. I say this for no other reason that the lady in the store. I thought both had beautiful items, and if I went back I could possibly find a FABULOUS deal...just not today. The store in Moorestown is super cute and the ambiance screams class!! However, the price would prevent me from going too often...I own Kool Aid pockets! As I have said before and you will see time and time again...finding a GREAT deal is a search one store may not have it today but next week may have it all!!
