Deborah sold me a dress that she claimed was "Gucci" for $150 which was a half-off, store-wide sale price on the original price of $300. I noticed the dress had no tags on the inside on the back hem, or the inseam -- there was no evidence what-so-ever that it was a Gucci dress, but I bought it in the moment because of the excitement the staff and Deborah had for how it looked on me.

When I got home, I still felt strangely about the fact that there were no tags. I called her to express my concerns about the dress, after doing research on fashion duplication and fake product, and she was extremely unprofessional towards me. She would rant to me about trusting her word on the merit that she's been running this business for a number of years, and that the donor of the dress has been her client for a number of years.

This is all fine and dandy and I'm sure she has run this business for a number of years, but there was still no way to prove the dress was authentic for her to be charging $300 for it in the first place.

In order to ensure my happiness with the dress, she promised to reimburse half the cost of the dress for the trouble. This never happened. For the past 2 months, I've been calling over and over, leaving messages with her employees, texting her number, and she never returned any of my messages. I never saw the "refund" she promised me.

I will never shop at Hearts of Gold again. She has bad business practice and doesn't follow up with her word. If she can't do the latter, how am I to trust the "designer labels" she is reselling for ridiculous prices in her store? The math doesn't add...

This has got to be the best vintage store in town, and for an incredible cause — A unique, curated experience with everything from brand new Jimmy Choo to delicate crystal stemware, at unfathomably reasonable prices. Unlike other similar stores, there’s something for everyone at every price point and size here. Better yet, all proceeds go directly to an amazing cause. Can’t wait to attend a Thursday event in which a $10 donation at the door nets you store credit, free sangria and bites, plus incredible music and feel-good vibes. Selection often full of brand new donated items, rotating quite frequently. Staff is incredibly helpful and friendly, and if you have a chance to meet the owner, she will...

This is the most amazing thrift store I’ve ever been to in my life! And I’m an avid thrifter. The store is amazingly organized, and all the employees are so nice! Everything I found was high end and top brands, but the prices were thrift store prices. I don’t know how she does it. It’s the little details, like no limit on the number of articles you can take into the dressing room and the way they meticulously fold your clothes before bagging them that add finesse to the shopping experience. And the net profit goes to support an amazing charity that serves single moms in the city. I can’t say enough positive things about...
