Do You Ever Go To High Scale Consignment Shops?

[ Edited ]

This just came in to one close to us where I take handmade jewelry I want to pass on.  I love the combinations in this skirt!  If you're a 4-6 contact me and I'll tell you how to get it!

 

Also, last year I purchased this Jimmy Choo bag, if you missed it on the other thread, at the other shop I take things to.  Unique pieces can be found in these shops!

Good finds!

 

I only go when I need something for a special occasion.   There is a town nearby with a median family income of nearly $200,000 and they have good taste.  The ladies use the consignment shops to buy and sell.   Sometimes I go just to look.

Tampa has a couple of high end consignment shops.  One had a client that flew to Paris and shopped frequently.  Her one top was $3,000 at the shop, used.  They had some beautiful items.  We would just go and look or sometimes buy for that special occasion.  Or should I say we would go and dream!

@ZhillsThese are in no way like what you experienced.  The shop where I got the Jimmy Choo bag ocassionally gets things from the owner friend who is in LA.

 

We have a few extremely affluent areas here like most places.  Occasionally, something will make it's way into one of the shops.  I prefer Linden Consignment (FB), where the handbag (in handbags) is shown and she also has the cute skirt I put up.

 

Our consignment here has changed to only the better and top brands now.  They carry Talbots, Chicos, Eileen Fisher, Bananna Republic, and nice jewelry.  They prefer my Karen Kane to my Michael Kors.

My sister goes to some of them.  I only go to consign or donate.  I'm "weird" about ever buying anything used.  One of my sisters would not be caught dead in one, and the other will occasionally buy, LOL.

 

I will go in one to consign but not purchase.

There's one around the corner from me ... it's been there about a year.  Never been inside!

Re: Do You Ever Go To High Scale Consignment Shops?

I have never been in a consignment shop for fashions.  I have never, ever worn a hand me down item or anything that was used.

 

I have purchased used wooden furniture, but not interested in upholstered furniture items.

 

I hate to go into antique shops.  Too many spirits are still attached to their estate goods.
