A must-visit for the savvy, ‘green’ shopper

East Town Women’s Shop has been the place for the best in Milwaukee consignment shopping since 1928. The shop’s present location is on the second floor at 159 N. Broadway, in the heart of the trendy Third Ward.

Known for its fashionable and upscale merchandise, East Town Women’s Shop features designer brands in never or very gently worn apparel. In addition, find famous-name accessories. Clients also bring in mint condition men’s items – ties, hats and even Harley-Davidson jackets with the tags still on them!

Resale shopping is enjoying a renaissance, thanks to both the state of the economy and the urge to “buy green.”

At East Town Women’s Shop, you’ll find that shopping is fun again. Money goes farther and you can “buy up,” with better quality at any price level.

Savvy resale shoppers know that stores like East Town allow you to put together a look that is all your own. Let your imaginative, creative side loose as you peruse the racks. At resale prices you can afford to try a new style. Then, if it's not for you, just pass it on.

Personalized help in finding what looks good on you, and exploring new options, is available at East Town Women’s Shop. As a woman-owned business, the shop is known for friendly and warm service.

Resale shopping also means being eco-savvy. The cost to the environment for new items includes depleting the soil, adding fertilizers to the watershed and increasing air pollution with shipping by truck or boat. Plus, you may be saving that designer item from the landfill.

Stop here once and you’ll be hooked! If you see something you like, it’s best to snap it up. Prices are so good, items disappear quickly. East Town Women’s Shop is a store that you’ll want to visit often, since the inventory changes constantly. For more information, phone 273-1030 or visit www.easttownwomensresale.com.
