Do you consign or buy?

We purchase items outright. We offer consignment for special items that have a retail value over $1,000, such as designer bags and diamond rings.

We purchase womens wearables dating from the 1970s through the 1800’s. This includes clothing, jewelry, purses, hats, and shoes.

Children’s clothing, long fur coats, wedding dresses made between 1930 and present, gloves, items made from endangered species, furniture, household items.


How do I sell to you?

Give us a text or call at 610-738-9952 or email shopmalenas@gmail.com with a description and a few photos of what you are looking to part with. From there we will either ask you to drop your items off in-store, or we may schedule an appointment for you to bring in your items for review. The shop phone is a cell phone. We strongly recommend sending pics of the items you want to sell prior to making your appointment.


Is an appointment needed to sell?

No, not necessarily. We do buyouts mainly on a DROP-OFF basis. You may bring your vintage clothing and accessories directly to the Boutique during normal business hours and our staff will provide you with the necessary paperwork and information to sell with us. From there, Malena will review your drop off within 48-36 hours and reach out to you directly with a buyout quote or consignment terms, if applicable.


Do you make house calls?

We will accommodate house calls depending on the volume of items and approximate location. We kindly ask for a sampling of photos or videos.


Are you a thrift or consignment store?

Neither! We sell a carefully curated selection of women’s vintage clothing and specialty items. All of our items are purchased from the original owners outright. We use expert care to clean and mend the pieces and present them to buyers like you.


What brands do you absolutely not want?

Micheal Kohrs, Talbots, Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Pendleton, Samsonite, anything after the 1990s.


Do you buy jewelry or designer items?

100% yes! We buy estate jewelry and costume as well as designer bags, scarves, clothes and more.
