Reciprocity

Go for the clothes, stay for Toni!! Seriously, I think she may be one of the best humans I have ever met. Not only is the shop full of high-end retail for fabulously low prices, but the shopping experience is made complete by the warm, welcoming, incredibly kind and nurturing vibes Toni puts out into her space.

I found an adorable top just in time for the warmer temperatures here in the mountains. I can’t wait to go back and find more goodies. ♥

Reciprocity is an Asheville treasure that has been serving the community with unique fashion finds and a welcoming atmosphere since 2009. Located conveniently on the corner of Brevard Road and Haywood Road, just across from Biscuit Head, it's a must-visit spot for fashion enthusiasts.

From the moment you step in, owner Toni and her lush greenery create a warm and inviting environment, giving off those perfect jungle vibes. Toni's background in social work shines through in their commitment to fostering connections and community through clothing and social justice donations. They're now celebrating 14 incredible years in business, thanks to their dedicated customers and their impact on the community.

Reciprocity offers an array of new and resale women's boutique clothing featuring popular brands like Free People, Frye, Anthropologie, Madewell, and Urban Outfitters. Their denim collection is extensive, occupying an entire wall, and their selection of boots is fantastic.

The shop's ambiance is best described as boho and chill, reminiscent of shopping at your fun and artsy aunt's place. One unique detail that sets them apart is that everything hangs on wooden hangers, ensuring nothing falls while you browse.

Besides their excellent stock of seasonal items, you might even encounter a friendly store doggie during your visit, and well-behaved dogs are welcome too. Toni and her staff are not only knowledgeable about fashion but are also great folks to chat with for recommendations on how to make the most of your day in Asheville after your shopping spree.

Reciprocity's hours make it convenient for shoppers with different schedules, and they accept up to 15 in-season items for store credit when you're looking to sell. What's even better is that your store credit never expires, giving you the flexibility to shop at your own pace.

Parking is a breeze, with free parking available around the corner, shared with the nearby guitar shop. The store itself is easily accessible, all on one level, with no stairs to navigate. The fitting rooms offer ample space, making your shopping experience comfortable.

Payment options are convenient, as you can pay with cash or card, and returns are accepted for store credit.

I've personally found some fantastic pieces at Reciprocity, including a cozy white sweater perfect for the holidays, a colorful knit poncho, and versatile leopard-print shorts that go with everything. It's the place to discover unique fashion items that stand out.

In summary, Reciprocity is more than just a clothing store; it's a vibrant part of the Asheville community. If you're in town, be sure to stop by, say hello to Toni and the team, and explore their wonderful collection of clothing and accessories. Your wardrobe will thank you, and you'll be supporting a local business with a heart for social good.

We had such an amazing experience! From the moment my friend and I walked in, we were genuinely and warmly welcomed. Toni was wonderful, and her store had so many cute clothes and accessories. I will definitely return💞

Fantastic selection of vintage and other brands like Anthropologie and Free People. Clothing is clean, organized, not overly packed into racks and priced correctly. My favorite boutique in town!

Lovely shop and dog friendly. I found the cutest locally made waist bag. Tony was very nice. Emma pie and I will definitely be back.

A friend of mine suggested I visit this store when I had the chance to come to Asheville again, and I am SO glad I did. The ladies working there were kind and helpful. When I found something I wanted to try on, they asked if they could place it in the dressing room for me, which was a new experience for me! It made shopping a joy. The store had a fun mix of casual and dressy clothes, and lots of different style jeans to try!

This is one of the only places I shop in Asheville. I have a neurological disorder, and because of the heart of the owner, I am able to shop and function. The prices are great, the inventory is always full of great finds, and the atmosphere is so safe and fun! Definitely worth your visit and money!

Friendly owner that allowed us in even when store about to close soon! She was helpful, friendly and we loved the selections and ohhh the prices!

LOVED this shop! My 20 year old daughter and I both found fun items and were treated as welcome guests by the owner who was just the right amount of helpful. The items (both resale and new) are well curated and in good condition, which is refreshing. I live out of town and have also purchased an item to be mailed to me from her Instagram. Highly recommend! Looking forward to my next visit in town.

Love this place. Friendly staff. Always something new. Quality inventory.

Love this store! Both ladies are extremely friendly, helpful, and personable. Small town vibe. Great quality clothing! I go back at least once a month to see what’s new!

What a great shopping experience during the pandemic. I was able to choose my time online to have the store to myself! On top of that Toni the wonderful owner helped seamlessly guide me to my new favorite pair of pants! So much love for this women owned business!

A must see! This woman-owned, independent small business is such a gem. They have fabulous inventory and Toni (and her employees) really care about the customers. This is easily one of my favorite places to shop in Asheville! Note about parking - if coming from 240 on Haywood, there is free parking on the opposite side of the building. Only took me a couple months to figure that out (aka, read the sign that clearly says that!) :)

One of my must-stop-shops every time I'm in Asheville. They keep an interesting selection of great condition items at super reasonable prices, especially compared to some other thrift and resale shops.

Love this place! The store is so cute. I consign my clothes with them, they always give great store trade credit. Also, truth be told, I buy most of my clothes come from Reciprocity too. The sisters are both so welcoming and helpful. Thanks for making shopping so easy and fun!!

This shop and the owner are why Asheville is such a wonderful place. When I first moved here I needed some cute but solid boots for work. I left with my favorite pair of Fryes (2 years running) and a new friend. I’m always recognized when I come in and so are other shoppers. There’s always a very supportive community vibe, it’s like I’m shopping with a couple of girlfriends every time I go in. We have nice chats and even sometimes a meaningful conversation. And of course leave with something new to me that I feel great about! If you want one of the best shopping experiences go here! You’ll look cute and feel empowered!

Tony, the owner, is amazing! The store has a bohemian vibe that is carefully selected, no junk!

I purchased a pair of booties and my shopping experience ended with Tony having me pick out a pair of free socks and giving me a hug.

This store is such a special place! Toni is an incredible ray of sunshine and has built an amazing community around her shop. Reciprocity constantly has new inventory and the best service. It’s always fun to stop by and see what’s new!

This place was really cute. There was everything from nice, cheaper items to big brands. The owner was very nice and helpful when looking for certain pieces, and she even gave us a discount. Would be a regular here if I lived in town. You can bring clothes in for cash too!

In the market for a truly AVL experience? You'll find it here! This store has its spiritual roots in the happy times... WAAAYYY back when we did cool stuff like, race kayaks in the reflecting pool and joust bikes on Lexington. If you want high quality goods at reasonable prices; purchased from a kind person with a genuine smile and community values... ALL ARE WELCOME 😁✌💗
