Fresh–A Consign of the Times

TAGS: Fresh, March 2010 magazine, My Best Friend's Closet, shopping, consignment, Highland Park shopping

My Best Friend's Closet, a new consignment shop in Highland Park, has thrown open the doors to closets around the North Shore and plucked out the most current, trendy pieces, including Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Manolo Blahniks and Frye boots.

Prices for the almost-new fashion—almost nothing older than two years—are usually about a third to half of the retail tag. In keeping with the recycled nature of consignment, owners Susan Plumer Gerber and Gilat Zamost are using recyclable bags and restored pieces of decor. And the two fashionistas have a rule that they can't buy anything until after the summer. "It's that cute, we would be lapping it up," Gerber says.
