Winter sale coming

Have you ever spent tons of money on clothing, shoes and purses that you use once and then they sit around gathering dust?

Your Stuff Consignment Boutique can solve the problem. The innovative store specializes in providing consignment opportunities to clients who get a return on their investment while benefiting other customers with great savings.

Your Stuff is located at 1083 Piney Forest Road, Danville and is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Owner/operator Sylvia Josey explains, “We have an amazing selection of boutique-quality recycled stuff for guys, gals, kids and the home. While a lot of our consignments are new with tags, we also stock new accessories such as sunglasses and hairbows.”

And it’s not just for ladies and children, there is also a men’s department that is geared toward the “younger set” with merchandise like jeans, sneakers and graphic tees.

The women’s clothing is segmented into three departments of juniors, misses, and plus sizes. “We are very proud of our women’s plus department and have quite a following of consignors and customers in these sizes,” says Josey.

For even more savings check out the winter clearance going on right now with spring and summer items being accepted for the upcoming season.

She and her staff are gearing up for the Spring Preview on February 5 when they reduce all remaining winter clothing to half price.

Josey opened Kids Stuff in 1993, an upscale consignment boutique offering children’s clothing, maternity wear, baby equipment and toys.

In 2002, she expanded and opened Your Stuff, offering upscale ladies, men’s and teen wear next door to the kids location.

Voted the best consignment shop in Danville, she is celebrating almost 29 years in business.

“Now we also have Home Stuff to meet local demand for small furnishings and home décor,” she states.

Josey brought a wealth of sales knowledge and experience with her after managing the shoe department at Frances Kahn’s downtown for ten years.  Kahn’s was an upscale clothing store similar to Rippes.  

As a member of the National Association of Resale Professionals (NARTS) since 1997, the store’s website www.yourstuffkidsstuff.com has been a “Featured Store of the Month” on the national directory of the association's website www.narts.org.

Josey attends the annual conferences and enjoys being involved in the professional organization. She has served as a speaker for multiple conferences all over the country. Josey says, “Staying involved in the national organization keeps me ahead of the curve. I always know the latest trends and tips for the industry. This helps both the store and our consignors to make more money.”

If you’ve never been in a consignment store before and expect it to be like a thrift store, you’re in for a surprise. Josey says there is a big difference between the two.

“Consignment stores are more selective in their offerings and can be almost indistinguishable from a fine boutique, offering only the latest styles and best quality of secondhand items. Far from the flea market feel of many thrift stores, consignment stores are the “Resale Royalty” of secondhand goods, offering designer brands and luxury goods for a fraction of their original cost.”

There is more than one way to get paid for your items. Some consignors at Your Stuff take advantage of the option of picking up their money for items sold as often as they like. “Some people come every day for lunch money and some wait until the end of the year and use us as their Christmas Club,” says Josey.

The proud store owner is very pleased when she can help her loyal customer base. “Our mission is to raise the standard of living for area families by offering quality used merchandise at budget prices and paying cash back on consignments.”
