Upscale resale shop moves to Exchange Street

Second Time Around

New England resale chain Second Time Around recently moved its Portland consignment shop from Fore Street to Exchange Street, into the storefront previously occupied by Simply Chic. The Exchange Street store is now the main store, while the spot on Fore Street is called the Annex and all the clothing there is priced between $5-$20.

This shop is a popular stop for local fashionistas who don't want to drop a lot of Benjamins for the latest looks. Browsing through the racks, I spotted all the hottest labels from Gucci and Marc Jacobs to Banana Republic and DKNY.

Second Time Around

Here's Manager Jessica Powers sorting through a stack of clothes dropped off today. She says business is booming, and she expects the new location on the high foot traffic Exhcange Street to boost sales even more.

Should you want to bring in your own gently used threads into the store to sell, here's what you need to know.

1. You need to call or go online and make an appointment
2. Everything needs to be in perfect condition
3. Nothing you drop off can be more than two years old
4. You need to clean the clothes before you drop them off

Clothing that still has tags attached is marked at 50% off retail price and everything else is priced at 40% off retail.

Second Time Around is located at 28 Exchange St. It is open Mon.-Sat. 10 am- 6 pm and Sun. noon-5 pm. Second Time Around Annex is located at 367 Fore St. and maintains the same hours. FMI or to schedule a time to drop off items, call 761-7037.
