Sequel

Although this Ivanhoe store has been around for almost a year now I was unaware of its existence until yesterday. It’s tucked behind some trees so it unfortunately doesn’t stand out as you pass by. But if you do happened to see it, stop in and shop around. They have a new fan in me.
It appears to be a consignment shop, based on the merchandise, yet they consider themselves to be traders. The idea is that you bring in your well preserved clothing, jewelry, shoes and purses in exchange for money or store credit. So you are immediately compensated for your goods. And to let you know what they are currently seeking, they post a sign in the front window so you don’t waste your time bringing in items they will not accept.
They carry men’s and women’s clothing, shoes and accessories and are very careful about what they choose to take in. Each item seemed to be in impeccable shape and for the most part, will carry a name brand with it. In some cases it’s not just a name brand we know like the Gap but an upscale label that would be very pricey if purchased new. Yet, their prices were extremely reasonable and shockingly cheap. AND… while I was there, everything, literally everything, was 50% off. So the $ 9.99 pair of adorable capris I picked up were only $ 5! You can’t be that.
If you go with someone who doesn’t share your fervor for shopping, there are lovely sofas and a table full of magazines for their viewing pleasure.
