Buy 2nd Hand Pieces at Nordstrom. That's Right. Nordstrom.
Poplin client, Ashey, shows off her second hand pieces. We picked this one up on our shopping trip to Mercer Island Thrift then had it altered by my favorite tailor. 2nd hand pieces often invite unique pieces into your collection. See more of her second hand finds here.
As a personal stylist for women, it’s important that my recommendations align with my client’s values. Whether she is going for affordable options to keep her budget in check or she’s more interested in sustainability or Fair Trade, it’s all about honoring those values as best we can.
Over the past year or so, the requests for second hand pieces have sky rocketed. While we always catered to our the values of each client, now things are more explicit with sustainability modifications on every package. But things just got a whole lot easier.
Seattle Fav Nordstrom Offers Curated Second Hand Pieces
Our beloved home town hero, Nordstrom, has joined other large retailers like Macy’s and J.C. Penny’s to sell second hand clothing. (Of course, the Nordstrom selection contains a selection of the brands you love from the retail store.) I know, the first thing that is popping into your mind: Will they buy my used clothes?
Ha! Poplin reader, I know you well. You can sell pieces at the Nordstrom Flagship in NYC, but not in Seattle… so far. Sellers receive a Nordstrom gift card rather than cash back. So, that’s important.
But, Seattle-ites can dive into shopping online for second hand pieces right now. Here’s the link. Have a great time and let me know how it goes.
