The Patch

Cute cellphone cases, with a message on the transparent covers that speak about, "how social media ruins your mental health." It's funny because it's true. I couldn't find a cover for my type of cellular, unfortunately. It's a hip store with lots to see. I decided to move on because I spent all my money next door. I will return!

Cool store! Clean. Some old and some new items; nice concept. Loved my experience. The staff can be a bit intimidating though.

Nice and well cleaned aesthetic thrift store, Minus the thrift. The cheapest clothing item I could find was $15 in the men’s section, highest $50. I went here to find some cheap clothes just to find them in regular retail price. Might as well just go to a value village.

I’m always a fan of the clothing and deals at the patch but I’m in AWE of how rude a staff member was. It seemed like everyone in the store was an inconvenience to her. And the 30 minutes we spent in the store was uncomfortable. I purchased $230 worth of clothing and was tempted to leave it all at the register because I was so off put by the service. At least 3 other customers in the store 10 minutes to close. When I asked to try on some clothing, the response was ‘yeah well we close in 10 minutes, just so you know’... okay... thanks? I work in customer service as well, food service to be specific, and I know covid is stressful for everyone but the rudeness and the condescension coming from this girl was unbelievable. Customer service doesn’t seem fit for her.

I have been meaning to make this review for quite some time. I find that the items are carefully selected and follow the current fashion trends, the store is nicely organized/aesthetically pleasing which I enjoy. You want that Ralph Lauren polo shirt look, its here, you want that oversized sweater with a teddy bear or sunflower on it, its here and more. However I have two problems, 1. The attitude of the employees and owner are extremely rude and prejudice towards anyone who walks into the shop and is probably the main reason that I will not go back. Even my coworker got the same feeling from all the employees each time we went there and she was just tagging along with me while I was the one shopping. lol sorry didn't realize I just walked into a freaking CHANEL store looking like a drowned rat or something (eye roll) 2. The prices can be quite high for a used clothing store and for some of the items I can understand this but a lot of the items that they constitute as "vintage" is not believable and I am an avid vintage shopper so I'm not that naïve. TBH I find its just a label they slap on there to justify the price they wanna charge you... I actually found a dress with no price tags on it and when I brought it up to the front the way they judged it being "vintage" was by giving it one glance and confirming yes its infact vintage apparently lol when I can tell by the material its been made within the last 10 years max. Your better off shopping at a Plato's Closet where the prices are fair for used clothing and you wont be judged.

I found this shop on an unexpected visit to Guelph and was so glad I did! Didn't realize that it was a consignment shop until I started to look around. It's a great combo of new and used items, all displayed so nicely. Reminds me of my all-time fave consignment shop Common Sort (Toronto). Picked up a cute top and probably would have ended up buying more if I had more time to browse (my fault, not theirs!). I'll be back for sure!

A really nice little vintage store downtown! I got a nice denim jacket from here a while back and it's been great. Good quality stuff. The store has a wide selection of stuff, but it's very feminine style focused! I stop in every so often to see if anything catches my eye. Cool place!

I like the clothes but the staff is VERY rude. Especially the girls lol I don't know why. Whenever I walk into the store it feels like they're intentionally being rude to me for some reason. And I don't know why they don't change that even though in every review this is mentioned. Maybe you cannot be employed there unless you are mean idk. Although there was a guy who worked here today with blond hair and he was pretty nice and I felt welcomed for the first time so give that dude a raise please
