Clothes Mentor Resale Stores: Cost Conscious, Environmentally Conscious!

By Lee-Anne Hamilton

Q: What is the difference between resale, consignment and thrift stores?

A: Resale stores like Clothes Mentor purchase clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories directly from customers and then offer the seller cash or store credit for any items that meet the quality standards. So, you can be assured they have been thoroughly assessed and in the case of luxury designer brands, professionally authenticated.

Consignment stores receive merchandise from sellers and then attempt to sell them on their behalf. Payment is received only after the items have been sold.

Thrift stores are usually a not-for-profit entity that sells donated products. There is no compensation given. A tax donation receipt can be offered.

Q: Why should I shop resale for my clothing and accessories?

A: There are several reasons to shop resale. For starters, your money goes farther, as is the case when shopping with Clothes Mentor. Our prices are typically up to 70 percent off retail. Resale is also about sustainability. It extends the life of an item by keeping it out of the landfill. The energy and resources that went into creating the goods have already been used, therefore the carbon footprint is reduced. Finally, because Clothes Mentor carries so many brands and styles, you can curate a unique wardrobe. And with a constantly changing inventory, Clothes Mentor offers the opportunity to experience the thrill of the hunt.

Clothes Mentor is locally owned by Lee-Anne Hamilton, who has almost a decade in the resale clothing industry. She believes all women should have the opportunity to purchase fashionable, affordable, quality clothing and accessories while making a positive impact on the environment. Let Lee-Anne and her friendly, knowledgeable staff help you update your wardrobe and feel amazing.
