Lilly welcomes us to Mary's Exchange.
_________________________
Right on the 24 MUNI line, Mary's is a practical gal's consignment shop with irresistible offerings like brand-new handknit sweaters with pointy hoods and puff-ball zipper pulls for only $65 (see photo to right) and used Coach bags at a fair price (they always seem to have Coach & Kate Spade--on this visit I spied a big old-style black Coach backpack for $125, not a bad price at all).
Of course the selection varies but Mary's seems to consistently offer sizable selections of pre-worn designer jeans, not-so-boring office clothes, colorful designer leisure wear, designer handbags, and cashmere sweaters. This time I was smitten with the dazzling array of sparkly brooches and couldn't stop eyeing the impressive cotton skirt selection. Labels you'll bump into here, many of them local, include Citron, CP Shades, Weston Wear, Michael Stars, and Haley Bob.
Maybe it's time to purge: Mary's offers a 50/50 consignment deal: you leave items for 50 days, you split the selling price 50/50. Consignment drop-in hours are 12:15-3:30pm Sunday-Friday.
You'll also find new goods here. Owner Wendy (Mary's is named for Wendy's daughter) also buys inventory direct from vendors and you can find last season's items here and overstock from vendors like Neesh, Flax, and Solitaire.
