Consignment shops resell brand-name clothes and accessories at a discount-

buyers and sellers win

Completely new or lightly worn clothes can be found for huge discounts

These unworn shoes still have the original tags on

Vintage items can also be found on the racks

Designer clothes and accessories abound

In addition to clothes, there are also household items

Families can find clothes for everyone (Lugo family from East Haven)

Only $3 for earrings- it is a good deal

Buyer and seller both have smiles on their faces
