Carousel Clothing is a consignment store. But what exactly is the difference between a consignment store and a thrift store, or used clothing shop? There are many differences…
At a consignment store, you will find higher end clothing than in a thrift store. At Carousel clothing, we are very selective in terms of what sort of clothing we will accept.
The styles of clothing in a consignment store is typically much more current than what you would find in a thrift store; we don’t usually carry clothing older than 5 years.
You will also find higher end labels than you would in a thrift store. At Carousel, we carry labels such as Lida Baday, Sandwich, Nougat, and Talbots.
We also offer brand-new jewellery to help you accessorize your outfit.
At a consignment store, you can find quality, current fashions, much more easily than at a thrift store.
In a consignment store, you can expect a higher level of service than you would find in a thrift store. We are always happy to help you find all the pieces you need to create a complete outfit, go out to find a different size, or just to offer a second opinion.
Thrift stores typically host many cluttered racks of clothes that you need to dig through just to find your size, let alone something to suit your taste.
Consignment stores are much better organized. Each room in our store showcases a different type of clothing, such as cocktail dresses or business casual wear.
Not only do we arrange our clothing racks by size, but we also organize them by colour, so you can quickly find something to suit your style. Our store is large enough that we can offer a wide selection, while still keeping enough space between displays so that you can browse comfortably.
We specialize in ladies’ clothing, so you can quickly find what you are looking for, rather than having to navigate through racks of men’s and children’s clothing.
While shopping at either a thrift store or a consignment store is sure to save you money, you’ll find much better quality products, service, and a better overall shopping experience at a consignment store.
