Most consignment shops pay only after they sell your merchandise.

Magnolia Boutique and Resale takes a different tactic. They pay on acceptance.

The shop at 5140 Sunset Blvd. in Lexington is across from Target with most clothing priced at $5 to $10.

Their strategy has helped them stock Chico’s, Max Studio, Kim Rogers, Ann Taylor, Loft, Multiples, Banana Republic, Worth, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors and other name brands.

They constantly offer new clothing for the entire family in all sizes including shoes, purses and cosmetics.

If you are selling, call 803-520-0011 to make an appointment. Items need to be clean and folded but not on hangers. Hours are 10 - 6 Monday - Saturday and Sundays 12 - 4.
