A Great Designer Consignment Shop on the Upper East Side

I’ve been trying to shop in a more sustainable way these days, and found the Upper East Side to have great consignment shopping. Last weekend, I went on a fun mission to visit as many as possible in the neighborhood and my favorite was Michael’s, located at 1125 Madison Ave. on the corner of 84th Street.

Michael’s Luxury Consignment Shop has been family owned through three generations since 1954 and they really work hard to curate a nice selection of designer clothing, shoes, handbags, and jewelry. Unlike some of the designer consignment shops I visited, Michael’s is well organized and laid out nicely. It feels like you’re shopping in a boutique, rather than digging through racks of items.

The shop often hold sales, especially at the end of each season and it’s not uncommon to find, say, a designer dress for less than $50. You can also find reasonable prices on shoes too. What’s your favorite consignment shop in the neighborhood?
