If you like to mix the old with the new, Rewind Consignment Clothing is for you. Located on the corner of 10^th Avenue and Macleod Trail N, this women’s clothing store offers a mix of fun and casual consignment items along with new pieces from trendy brands like Jascari, BB Dakota, and Pink Martini. Catering to women in their 20s to 40s, the shop also carries a great array of accessories including scarves, purses, shoes, belts and jewelry from indie Canadian designers such as Flight Path, Millicent, and hARTware. Rewind’s great character can be found not only in the sundry merchandise but also in the heritage building it occupies – brick walls, wooden flooring, ornate moldings and a tin ceiling add to the overall charm of the store.

The store specializes in private shopping parties and personal appointments for those looking for a more personal shopping experience. Special events and customer loyalty cards reward shoppers who come to Rewind. Owner Krista Hopfauf took over the store in 2008 hoping to offer a different kind of shopping experience to Calgarians. “I like to get to know my customers and provide good customer service to my clientele. Recycling fashion is important and consigning gives people an opportunity to make some money off their unwanted items and the chance to change up their personal style more often without breaking the bank. At Rewind, we offer reasonably priced selections for every season because we want our customers to look great and find great deals.”

EXCLUSIVE: All new customers to visit Rewind will receive a 15% discount on their first purchase! Just print off a copy of this story or mention that you read this Calgary is Awesome post.
