EXPLORING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RESALE AND CONSIGNMENT STORES

Navigating the world of secondhand or preowned fashion can be overwhelming, with so many terms and different types of stores offering something slightly different. Besides businesses like True Fashionistas consignment store Naples, resale is the most common type of secondhand store. While these two kinds of stores may appear very similar on the surface, consumers should understand some crucial differences to get the most out of their shopping experience.

REMEMBERING FASHION ICONS WE LOST IN 2022

We love our True Fashionista fashion community. Thinking of the whole reminds us that it’s not just designers and models who make the magic happen; it’s a varied pool of talented stars, both in front of and behind the camera and the sewing machine, creating art and helping to spread the word.

We pause at the end of 2022 to shine the light on the lives that the fashion world lost this past year, and the acts of kindness and opportunity in which they had a hand. They shaped many of the styles you shop for when you visit True Fashionistas consignment store Naples. Here we pay tribute to those talented individuals who contributed so much to the industry during their time with us.

HOW A PANDEMIC RESHAPED THE RESALE INDUSTRY

We’d like to think everything in the fashion industry is back to normal. The Met Gala properly happened on the first Monday in May. We’re out shopping again at our fave stores like the new 13,000 sq. ft. True Fashionistas consignment store, Naples, and we’re being as social as ever. Behind the scenes, however, two-plus years of COVID-19 has resulted in unexpected situations for the related industries of fashion, retail, and resale.

The fashion world, like everyone else, knows full well that now more than ever the masses need, crave actually, fresh designs and the runways with which to introduce them, even if it’s mostly the live streaming version. Who better than True Fashionista creative design types to come up with a way for Fashion Month to still somehow happen?
