Back in July, we announced the opening of Purple Armchair on West Street, just off of Glenwood South. Sadly, after only 6 months of being open, Purple Armchair has called it quits. The owner has moved to Wilmington and the space that was previously packed full of furniture, is now very empty.
Luckily, Mel Snyder, who sold consignment clothing in the back at Purple Armchair, has taken over the front half of the warehouse for her new business Get Dressed. Get Dressed will have consignment items for the whole family. There are a lot of baby items, clothing for women, shoes and menswear. Maternity consignment is coming soon as well. Consignment percentages range from 70-30 for designers making their own clothing to 60-40 if you sign a contract before opening. Other than that it is 50-50 for most clothing. More Information.
Get Dressed will have its official opening this Friday with food and drinks (more information coming in the First Friday Agenda).
