Labels Designer Consignment To Hold Lake County's Largest Consignment Event
Next month, women throughout Lake County will have the opportunity to attend the first annual Labels Designer Consignment sale. This is slated to be the largest women's shopping event in Lake County. Over a three-day period, attendees can expect to select among leading brand name items such as Lululemon, Anthropologie, Kate Spade, Coach, Levi, Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs and other brand name items depending on the selection of items collected.
According to a 2021 Forbes report, there has been a significant rise in the resale business in the retail world citing that the secondhand clothing business has become a mainstream part of the fashion world with more and more brands taking part in the resale segment of the industry. "In 2021, the global market value of secondhand and resale apparel was estimated to be worth $96 billion U.S. dollars," noted Statista, an online platform that specializes in market and consumer data.
The RealReal reported that more than half of its sellers in 2021 were Generation X or older, or at least 42 years old and younger shoppers are the ones most often purchasing these secondhand clothes.
Lisa Torres, a self-recognized fashionista and founder of Labels Designer Consignment, is working to bring the expansion of this resale shopping trend to Lake County. "This one-of-a-kind shopping event will allow women to buy fashionable pieces at a great price while also selling their own pieces and earning money," says Torres. "The resale and consignment market is so important as we strive to protect the environment through our sustainable resale model," adds Torres.
Labels Designer Consignment will have a drop off weekend where sellers can bring their clothing and accessories to be featured in the sale. The drop off dates are May 12th-14th -- sellers can register for an appointment after registering for the sale at labelsdesignersale.com.
The Labels Designer Consignment event will take place at the Holiday Inn, 6161 W. Grand Avenue in Gurnee. Sale hours are Thursday, May 18 and Friday, May 19 from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm and Saturday, May 20 from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. For more information visit labelsdesignersale.com.
