Our mission at rethreads is simple:

To provide our costumers with a unique shopping experience. Rethreads is a locally owned and operated eco-friendly sustainable fashion boutique.

Are we a thrift store?

No, not if by thrift store you mean a store that sells other peoples’ giveaways. Thrift stores have little style either in their clothing selection or store decor.

We like to think of rethreads as offering a unique shopping experience. While traditional boutiques offer limited selections (though available in most sizes), rethreads by contrast offers a wide selection of high quality labels, but one of a kind when it comes to size.

Are we a boutique?

No, not if by boutique you mean a store with a very narrow selection of high priced labels and unsupportive staff that won’t wait on you if you look out of place.

Thus, we like to describe ourselves as a resale fashion boutique. For the shopper, this means that you never know which boutique label will be waiting for you in your size. One week you may feel like you walked into a Gucci, while the next week may feel like a Chloe store.

Colorful Accessories

Rethreads is a buy-sell-trade clothing boutique. What does that mean?

First, it means that we only accept clothes that have retained value: well-known quality labels in good or great condition. It means we are very selective about the clothing we curate. It means the clothes you find at rethreads will be as stylish and as well-crafted as you will find in any boutique, but without the exorbitant price.

For the seller with designer taste

Rethreads offers an alternative to consignment stores offering trade or cash on the spot for their lightly used designer styles. Whether you’ve grown tired of or no longer fit into that designer dress, skirt, blouse, shoes, or accessories, we offer the means to keep your closet fresh and trendy without breaking the bank.

Equally important to us and our customers is the cleanliness, ambiance and funky music that makes shopping at rethreads just plain fun!
