Women's Consignment
We offer professional consignment services for women's gently used clothing and accessories. Our team evaluates items for quality and marketability, providing fair compensation to consignors. Shoppers benefit from finding premium items at reduced prices while supporting sustainable fashion practices through clothing reuse.
Seasonal Apparel
Our inventory includes seasonal women's clothing like hats, scarves, and outerwear. We regularly update stock to reflect current fashion needs while maintaining quality standards. Consignors can earn money from seasonal items that would otherwise go unused, and shoppers find practical pieces at affordable prices.
Accessory Sales
We curate costume jewelry and fashion accessories alongside our clothing inventory. These items complement outfits and provide affordable style upgrades. Our selection includes both consigned pieces and new additions that maintain our quality standards while offering variety to customers seeking unique accessories.
Tru Earth Products
We retail Tru Earth laundry detergent as part of our sustainability focus. This eco-friendly product aligns with our commitment to reducing environmental impact through clothing reuse. The detergent complements our consignment model by offering customers an environmentally responsible laundry solution that maintains garment quality.
Boutique Experience
Our store provides a boutique-style shopping environment with personalized service. Staff offer one-on-one assistance to help customers find pieces that suit their style and needs. The curated inventory ensures quality selections while maintaining an organized, welcoming atmosphere that differentiates us from typical second-hand retailers.

What a delightful find for anyone visiting Ladysmith. New and gently used items abound in this tastefully arranged and beautifully managed and organised store. Many new fashions as well as some specialty items can be found here. Stock changes regularly so frequent visits are a must. Always a pleasure.
