I love that here in Michigan one of our favorite things is that when someone compliments your outfit, we have to announce where it\u2019s from and how great of a deal it was as if it were a rule. Nothing gets more Michigan than that. It\u2019s fun to listen to people brag about their amazing finds and how little they spent when they shop second hand. BUT on the other hand there are some rumors circulating about consignment shopping that aren\u2019t so great. So we thought we\u2019d discuss some of the myths and help you navigate the dos and don\u2019ts of second hand shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth #1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Consignment & thrift shopping are the same<\/strong>. Nope. Both are resale but there is a difference. Often times when you go thrift shopping, items there are donated. This means anyone can just drop off a box of anything. This generally happens when people are cleaning out their closets so it ends up being more of a box of surprises that may or may not be so nice\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consignment shopping is more selective therefore prices tend to be higher. We believe in value. When we take in items at our store, we are looking for items with low use to hardly used to ensure they have plenty of life left for you. Furthermore, we look for designer brands and unique one of a kinds that you\u2019re not going to be able to find other places.<\/p>\n\n\n
