We have a great resale/consignment scene in Brooklyn with 4 resale shops for Brooklyn kids, 2 of which also sell maternity. Although I am never sure I will find exactly what I need, I seem to have great success going to each one for my specific needs. LuLu’s Then & Now has a robust collection [...]

Madison Rose Maternity is the go-to place in Brooklyn for maternity resale: the clothes are in great condition and the displays are beautiful. You feel like you are walking into a carefully edited boutique of a stylish friend’s clothes and niceties, not a resale shop. Now, Madison Rose is joining the increasing number of kids’ [...]

Has anyone been to or sold items at the Be Green Consignment Sale in the past? I’m tempted to sign up as a consignor but the pre-organization I would have to do sounds daunting. The Be Green Kids Consignment Event is happening in just a couple of weeks- and whether you want to consign or [...]

Three new childrens’ clothing resale shops have opened up in Brooklyn in the last month.

The ribbon cutting ceremony for its inauguration was this Tuesday- and store namesakes “livie and boo” were there. (see top photo) [...]
