Nestled in a strip mall in North Boulder, Rags Consignments doesn’t appear to be much from the outside. But once inside, you’ll find the anti-thrift store - a hip, stylish and trendy consignment boutique with high-end, slightly used items at bargain prices.
Rags Consignments was founded in 1995 by Margaret Miner. Since that time, the store has expanded and has now consigned over 8,200 items. The store has attracted a high end clientele of consignors, so chances are good you will find top brands like Louis Vuitton, Manolo Blanik, Prada, Dolce and Gabana, Marc Jacobs, Coach and more. Sign up for the Rags email newsletter, follow the store on Twitter, or fan them on Facebook to get up to date information on new items coming into the store. If you see something you like online, make sure you shop quickly, as the great deals go fast.
Not only can you find great bargains at Rags, you can turn your clothing into cash (or credit towards a fabulous new outfit!) by consigning. The consigment period is 4 weeks and if items sell, the consignor will receive 40% of the sale price. Rags is very discerning about what they accept, so before you go, check out their consignment guidelines and brands they love/don’t accept lists. Rags also has a mobile service, so you can consign from the comfort of your own home ($10 service fee applies). Also, they can get very busy on the weekends, so try and consign at off times if you don’t have time to wait.
