Gabriel's Closet Children's Consignment Boutique — Local services in Maine Township

Rarely does a person get to have their cake and eat it to. When it comes to saving money vs. having nice things vs. living ethically all the more so. It takes divine intervention to reconcile such conflict. Luckily Gabriel's closet provides a brick and mortar space for such a miracle to occur.

Like their namesake, they exemplify the divine virtue of utmost moral conviction in their mission live without waste, while at the same time manifesting kindness of the highest quality to those who can't afford luxury in their current financial state.

They two perform acts of charity. The first is providing access to affordable high quality goods. The second is allowing the poor to maintain their dignity by being able to purchase it rather than experiencing the embarrassment that can accompany getting things for free.

Practically speaking, the store has a large selection, constantly cycling selection of high end items in good condition. Their prices are more than fair. To compare I bought my son a new pair of shoes of average quality at target for $33 dollars, I bought my daughter 3 pairs of high quality shoes for the exact same price and the entire experience was much more pleasant.

The staff at Gabriel's closet were so accommodating and respectful, and my daughter was able to play in their kids area while I looked around (the store is laid out in such a way that I could maintain visual on her the when time.)

Someone might read this review and think I am exaggerating or being paid to say all these things. This couldn't be further from the truth. This is just what an experience at Gabriel's closet brings out in me.

If you want to save money, own nice things, live more responsibly, and have an altogether much more pleasant shopping experience, go to Gabriel's closet.

If you hate yourself shop somewhere else...and reach out to me. I can help you find a good therapist.

HASHEM should bless the good people involved in Gabriel's closet that their work should continue successfully for many...

This place is really great. I was searching on Google Maps for places in the area to buy a children's clothes and Gabriel's closet came up. I took a look at the website where they also have a number of items posted online so you can see what might be there. Apparently they update the online store pretty often, even though you have to buy things in the physical store. The staff was really nice. The one improvement would be for them to have a dressing room for older children that want to try things on. The day we went there weren't very many customers, so they simply let us use...

Gabriel’s closet is a must to shop at and visit! I have shopped in person and also have had items shipped. Both experiences perfect and seamless. This family owned business makes you feel like you are part of their family! They have the best items and take extra time to help you find what you need! Not only is the shopping experience amazing but the community events are also adorable. Don’t forget to bring your littles along for shopping because there is an area for them to play in! A wonderful addition to downtown Park Ridge...
