Saturday sale at Designers' Consigner and Designer Exchange in St. Pete
I wrote a story for the St. Petersburg Times recently about development along Central Avenue in St. Petersburg. While reporting, I stumbled into a gem of a consignment shop on the west end near the beach called Designer Exchange. The same owners run Designers' Consigner in downtown St. Pete. I chatted up owner Julie Karikas about serious business for the story, and, like a good shopping addict, about their AMAYZING WARES. They had Trina Turk, Betsey Johnson, Chanel, you name it. It was a sparkly paradise. Here's a picture of the beach store:
Natch, I signed up for their mailing list. Good news. Designers' Consigner (the one downtown at 1033 Central Ave.) is moving out summer items to make way for fall. They're having a sale Saturday only -- take an additional 20 percent off things already marked 75 percent off. Apparently, the sale rack is quite packed. There's also a load off stuff marked half off. Designer Exchange, the beach store at 7038 Central Ave., is having a killer sale, too -- four racks of stuff for $5.
If you go, let us know what you score. And tell them Deal Divas sent you.
