Second Time Around



I always walked by this store but never went in. This past weekend, I was doing some retail therapy with my close friend and we decided to check it out.

Located at 1728 Chestnut St, Second Time Around promises to be a treasure trove of fashion goodies every time you walk through the door. Second Time Around is an upscale consignment company that carries new and almost new designer clothing and accessories. With 2,700 square feet of merchandise, they feature high end brand name designers, better brand names, and a room full of clothing and accessories priced at $20.00 or less. Not only that, but they also carry mens apparel and accessories, so your boyfriend can browse and shop for himself while you do the rounds.

They really do have great merchandise, and everything was very organized and easy to find. The store is divided up by sizes and categories, which makes it relatively simple for customers to browse.

Not only is it a great place to find a bargain, but it is also a fantastic way to make some money for clearing out your closet! They make it really easy to consign. Customers can either call a location to schedule an in-store appointment, schedule an in-store appointment online, or they can fill out an online consignment form and mail them the items. Some other important information on consigning with Second Time Around: the items are placed on the sales floor for 90 days, customers will receive 40% of the final selling price, and items are priced at 25%-30% of their original retail value.

I am going to recycle my unwanted clothes and accessories, and I hope to earn some money for them! Scheduling a consignment visit with Second Time Around shortly…!
