Take Your Pick

We’ve all done it – spent more on our kids’ clothes than on our own. But, having to update our children’s wardrobes every 4-6 months, it’s not always practical to indulge in those doll-sized, high priced brands. Which is why we love Clementine – a consignment shop that feels like a high-end boutique. The store, run by the uberselective mother-daughter team Myrle and Cara Wall, is always stocked with European designers such as Jacadi, Bonpoint, Petit Bateau and Marie Chantal and stylish U.S. brands such as Tea Collection and Bu and the Duck, all at a 50-80% discount from the current retail price. Plus lots of cool shoes including See Kai Run, Naturino sandals and converse in the bargain bin where everything is priced from $1-10. Moms can shop the maternity room for Liz Lang, Cadeau and more while their babes rest in beanbags or play with the house toys. And when it’s time to unload your plush pieces, don’t forget to give back. Clementine accepts designer maternity, infant, and toddler clothing through 4T from every season at any time during store hours. Consigners receive 40% of the final selling price. 39 1/2 Washington Square South. http://clementineconsignment.com/
