A fashionista can't help but drool when she sees designs by Coco Chanel, Valentino, Balenciaga, or Manolo Blahnik. She may assume that these brands are for celebrities and the elite. This is not exactly true.
Here is another bit of classified information that people find shocking: the average person can afford items from these world renowned designers. Works from these designers are timeless. Today a fashion savvy woman could throw on a Valentino dress or Chanel cardigan from 50 years ago and still look fabulous. When these items age they become vintage, making them even more chic.
How is it possible for the average person to afford clothing with a price tag between three and six figures? Consignment shops are a great way to get authentic high-end designer goods that are completely affordable. It is normal to be wary of purchasing used goods, but when the gently used goods are designed to last a lifetime, it is a worthwhile investment.
When purchasing goods from high-end consignment shops authenticity is guaranteed. The consigning process is taken seriously. An individual who wishes to sell their goods must set up an appointment with an expert to guarantee authenticity of their items before they are sold. Making a purchase at a consignment shop is the perfect way to make some of the designer goods you have been dreaming about your own.
A few high-end consignment shops in or near Virginia are: Chic Envy, Annie Cream Cheese, and New to You. Chic Envy, in Fairfax, VA, recently sold a pair of Manolo Blahnik black suede kitten heels to a 20 year old college student for $85. The heels were worth $700. Chic Envy receives and sells Christian Louboutin, Coco Chanel, Gucci, Manolo Blahnik, Valentino, and Jimmy Choo on a frequent basis.
Most consignment shops will have a waiting list and they will call clients when the designer items arrive. When something old becomes something new, a dull wardrobe comes to life.
