Took my daughter here after overhearing good things in line at another place. It didn’t disappoint! So much variety and the sweetest girl helped us out! We will definitely visit on our next trip to Durham.

Let me say. As a plus sized person this is THE most positive shopping experience I’ve had in a long time. The vibes are awesome here and they’ve got something for everyone!

The selection of clothes is always fun, colorful, and quality items. I always find great pieces that make me feel like a bad b. I enjoy selling/trading clothes for store credit so that when I find a piece that speaks to me, I don’t have to use my actual money. The employees are always welcoming and helpful.

I love LOVE LOVE RUMORS!!!!!! there’s literally no other store quite like rumors. LGBTQ+ friendly and offers a plethora of styles and size options. Shop here if you have swag and style 🙈 !

I used to love this store, but over the past year the selection seems to have gone downhill. On the racks while I was in store, DIY projects were priced well above reasonable for items fraying and self cut that were not finished and would fall apart with washes. Another item had visible damage and was not marked as is (if I remember correctly it was 10+). Not a lot of selection differences, mostly denim coats, t-shirts, and most sweaters leaned more towards grandma than trendy vintage. The plus size section was lacking and mostly filled with 3x+. On the plus side, staff is ALWAYS friendly and lovely to chat with and the store is quite clean and organized. The shoe selection has also improved a lot, but not enough to negate the other issues. Unfortunately the selection just doesn't garner me traveling as far as I usually do to look. (1+ hour out of town) Hopefully things will look up with newer donations!

Love Rumors! They have GORGEOUS, high quality clothing and I find unique, well fitting pieces every time I go! The associates are also the absolute friendliest and I have always felt incredibly welcome shopping there. The gender-neutral organization makes it easy to find your style, too!
