Plato's Closet

Even though I swore to never return in my last review, I gave Plato's Closet another chance and was pleasantly surprised. I took in several items to sell and made some decent money. Their clothing is stylish and looks brand new. The staff was much friendlier than the last time I was in (2009) so I'm hopeful that the negative reviews they got really made an impression. They still size you up when you walk in the door, but insteading of yelling that your stroller (and therefore your kids) isn't welcome, they politely ask if you'd like any help. Well done, Plato's Closet. I'll be back to shop for myself, and for my son's back-to-school wardrobe. $10 jeans can't be beat! more

Had a good time here, found a nice t-bags ($10) dress and forever 21 colorful mini sweater ($4). The older lady was there, but she was very nice to me... I asked her about the $2.00 nail polishes and makeup and she was extremely personable. I am a black girl and I went in with my Latino boyfriend, and she did not follow us around the store or look at us suspiciously or anything. Of course this may be because we are a bit older than the teen clientele that usually walk in there... I'm 28, my bf is 38. Most of the stuff is a little bit younger than I am used to wearing.... they do tend toward more of the teeny bopper clothes, like Old Navy, Hollister, etc. If you really want to look for more stylish designer clothes, try Crossroads or Buffalo Exchange. But I will definitely go back...maybe until I turn 30 or so! haha. more

Although I didn't purchase anything from the store I give it high stars for the amazing job at keeping the place clean and organized. I must admit that even for a second hand shop they keep the place better organized than some stores at a mall. Of course female shoppers are crazy and like to touch anything even if it's not their size or style. Parking lot is smaller than most but there is plenty of street parking and it's located right next door to a Baskin Robins. I'm not sure about you but shopping and ice-cream? Uhh yes please! more

I love Plato's Closet in Monterey!!! Excellent selection of soooo many stylish jeans, tops, belts, shoes...basically everything!! The staff is very sweet and helpful. Definitely recommend it!!!!! more

Good selection, good prices, and the owner is always nice and remembers me by name. more

Finally! Went to Plato's closet with my single used and not used clothes and accessories today. I dreaded visiting this place coz of the previous reviews.\r As soon as I get there, the lady that seems to be in charge greeted me and asked me if it was my first time being there. She told me how it works and that I can either sit or browse through their collections while I wait, which I did. So many good stuff! The place was neat and organized! The other staff was also nice and accomodating :)\r It wasn't even a long wait. All in all, it was a great and pleasant experience for me esp it was my first time being here and oh yeah, I got me a nice large purse and some cash! (~.~) more
