“Central Park Resale is meant to serve the needs of the young, trendy customer looking for unique, curated finds at an affordable price, as well as cater to the savvy and experienced New York shopper searching for high-end consignment finds, and potentially a spot to purge part of their closet,” Williams says. “We are excited to say we have it all.”
According to a store press representative, Central Park Resale offers “consignment of high-end luxury items; resale of stylish, gently worn fashions; sale of affordable and trendy thrift clothing (under $15); and a gallery offering exposure to independent designers, trunk shows, artists, and original art pieces.”
The store has also committed to giving 40 percent of all thrift department sales back to the store’s non-profit partners. They’ve already given to SWS for Domestic Violence Awareness Month and are currently reviewing additional partners.
The new store is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10am – 7pm and Sunday from 11am – 6pm. To learn more, please visit centralparkresale.com.
