Avalon Exchange, Cleveland Heights OH

NOT A THRIFT STORE. This is a resale store and fine for what it is. "Curated" clothes that appeal to their target market who would rather pay 3x than go to a thrift store and dig around.

A true thrift store, it's clearly all upcycled/second hand stuff.everyone is always nice when i come in and if all else fails, i usually find a solid tee or two.haven't sold items here yet, so can't comment on that experience.

Avalon used to be the place to find huge variety and the flyest clothes and shoes on the East side of Cleveland. They also used to value buying good clothes/shoes and helping the community. Today I brought in my entire collection (16 pairs) of designer pumps and ankle boots, thigh high boots I used for display and for burlesque. ALL SIZE 10, which is a less common size, and well sought after. Most of these shoes I had bought at Avalon, and most had never even been on my feet or ever walked in. They gave me $7.50 for two of the least exciting and most plain pairs of shoes. Since I had shown interest in donating, they expected I was going to donate all the shoes they SHOULD have bought from me. The clerk said "you can see we have a lot of shoes" (which they don't), and the variety and quality of clothes was worse than if I were to have gone dumpster diving (which I will prefer to what Avalon has devolved into). On top of it, they broke the vinyl bag I used to bring them my shoes. Coventry used to be the hippest place to visit, akin to Haight Street (SF, CA). Now it is a symbol of hate, with a black fist painted on the window across the street from Avalon. What a sad sorry shame, not worth the visit, not even worth the effort it took to write this review.

This place rocks! The staff is one of the most friendliest staff I ever encountered. The people working here are Awesome! A special shout out to Dennis who was so helpful and kind to say the least. Thankyou Avalon Exchange and keep up the Great Work my friends.

Meeeh, very few racks of clothing. I certainly wouldn't call this a vintage clothing shop. I've done better finding stuff at the goodwill.

Listen, you have people there doing literally nothing but sitting on the counter and being on their phones. Great place to never go. Thanks.

I adore this place and so do all my friends. Such great options at affordable prices. I only wish my elementary school kids could shop here and find things for themselves. They love street fashion and want to dress like their grown-ups.

Good finds here on some luxury designer stuff. Gotta go into the store for the real finds. They do post a few things on their ig. Always feels good to upcycle and look good at the same time.
