From polished boutiques to practical children’s and maternity stops, Bellingham’s consignment and resale scene makes it easy to refresh your closet and home with quality pieces at sensible prices. Expect tidy racks, attentive service, and sustainable choices for everyday wear, special events, and even the grandchildren.
Let’s get to it.
Clothes Rack-Womens Consignment
Labels you actually want to wear, prices that don’t sting. Clothes Rack leans upscale without the attitude, pairing designer names like Eileen Fisher and Coach with modern mid‑range staples that hold up season after season.
The floor reads more boutique than bargain bin. Racks are tidy, sizes are easy to navigate, and the staff is the kind that offers a second option without the hard sell. New arrivals land daily, which keeps the treasure hunt lively. Free parking makes pop‑ins painless.
Quality is the point. They accept only clean, current pieces with no stains or pet hair, and it shows on the racks. For consignors, the process is straightforward: drop‑offs typically Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with Saturday by appointment; the store sets prices, standard payout is 40 percent with higher rates on designer items; balances are viewable online. Markdowns can start after about a month and items time out around 90 days, so read the contract before you hand over favorites.
Best fit? Budget‑savvy, style‑minded shoppers who appreciate a curated edit and the thrill of a good find. Follow their site or Instagram to time a visit around fresh merchandise, then let the racks do the persuading.
Serendipity
Curation over clutter. Serendipity keeps the hunt elegant in Fairhaven, where the racks read like a well-edited closet rather than a free-for-all.
Expect a boutique-to-designer mix with standout vintage, well-made basics, and shoes and accessories that actually elevate an outfit. Pieces are seasonally relevant and clean, and staff notes any quirks before you buy. Pricing sits in boutique-consignment territory, so you trade thrift-store roulette for quality and confidence.
The space is tidy, fitting rooms are comfortable, and the team offers hands-on help when you want a second opinion. New arrivals roll in regularly, and many hit their online shop too, including select handbags, occasional men’s pieces by appointment, and even handmade home textiles that live online-only.
Thinking of consigning? They run weekday intake windows, cap drop-offs around 25 items, and review everything before accepting. Items are listed in-store and online, and the team follows up after processing. The payout split is not posted, so call for details. Sales do pop up, but purchases are final, which further rewards slow, thoughtful browsing.
Flip Kids & Maternity Consignment Shop
On State Street near downtown, Flip Kids & Maternity brings a polished, boutique vibe without the overwhelm. Friendly staff keep it easy to browse, and prices make boutique labels feel sensible.
The draw is quality. Expect name‑brand children’s clothing from preemie through size 14, plus maternity wear, shoes, toys, small accessories, and baby gear, all looking freshly pressed and ready to hand down again. Stock turns regularly with the seasons, so quick pop‑ins tend to pay off.
If you consign, they screen at drop‑off and prefer current styles from better department or specialty stores, typically bought within the last few years. Keep pieces stain‑free and freshly laundered. You receive 40% of the final sale, with cash kept on account. Larger gear is best pre‑approved by email, and unclaimed funds after a year revert to the shop.
This is a smart stop for families who value condition and brand over sheer volume. Prices land in the mid to higher consignment range, but the edit is strong and the labels hold up. Grandparents refreshing the play‑closet and parents building a lean, hardworking wardrobe will feel right at home.
The Clothes Rack
Designer names without the designer markup. Clean, curated, easy to browse. The Clothes Rack reads boutique rather than bargain bin, which makes the hunt feel calm and productive.
Women’s clothing spans casual, business, and evening, along with shoes, handbags, jewelry, and accessories. Designer and vintage labels arrive often. Plus-size racks are genuinely stocked and easy to find.
Selectivity is the secret: only current, freshly laundered pieces in spotless condition hit the floor. Racks are grouped by type and sometimes brand for quick scanning. The Yew St area location offers ample free parking and an approachable, boutique vibe. Attentive staff can help with styling or consignor questions.
Pricing lands mid-range resale with periodic designer steals, and automatic markdowns keep turnover high. New items pop up daily or close to it, so repeat visits make sense. Consignors get set drop-off days, store-set pricing, a typical 40 percent split, and online balance checks.
Gown & Glove Bridal Consignment
Off-the-rack bridal that respects both budget and timeline. Gown & Glove Bridal Consignment makes that possible right in downtown Bellingham, along Cornwall, with a tidy boutique feel that keeps the focus on the dress.
Inventory leans “new or once-worn,” so condition and tags matter, and it shows. You’ll find wedding gowns across reported size ranges, plus bridesmaid dresses, veils and headpieces, shoes, and accessories. There’s formalwear for prom and homecoming too, along with thoughtful options for mothers of the couple. Prices read budget to mid-range, with the occasional designer surprise.
Shopping here is straightforward. Racks are organized by length and type, which makes browsing calm rather than chaotic. Many pieces are sold off the rack, so when the right gown appears, it can go home the same day.
The extra lift comes from alterations. Fittings and tailoring happen in-house, so that great find becomes a great fit. Value-focused brides who appreciate sustainability and a no-pressure try-on experience will feel right at home.
Consigning? The shop operates on a consignment model, and specific payout terms aren’t posted publicly, so it’s best to call for current details.
Labels Women’s Consignment
Two storefronts, one mission: cute, clean, current. Labels Women’s Consignment keeps it polished and practical, with prices roughly 50 to 80 percent off retail.
The mix is broad without feeling chaotic. Clothing, shoes, accessories, beauty, and a modern housewares corner mingle with occasional furniture and seasonal finds. New drop-offs arrive daily, so the floor shifts constantly. The steady refresh brings a thrill-of-thrifting vibe, yet it stays tidy for those who prefer order.
It also works well for consignors. Bring items during business hours, no appointment needed, and tagging associates handle research, pricing, and listing. You get 40 percent, cash for balances under $100, check for amounts over that, and inactive balances after a year convert to a gift certificate. Intake stops an hour before close.
Best for value-minded shoppers who want current styles with the occasional designer surprise. Two Bellingham spots, James Street and Northwest Avenue, make popping in easy, and the social channels flag fresh arrivals.
Wee Ones Reruns Inc
Safety checks, stroller-wide aisles, and prices that keep the diaper fund intact. That is the draw at Wee Ones Reruns, a long-standing go-to for families around Bellingham who want practical without fussy.
The focus is everyday essentials that actually get used. Expect infant through early elementary clothing, shoes, maternity wear, toys, and a steady lineup of baby gear like strollers and car seats. Items are clean and current, with parts intact and safety checked. Staff know their stuff, and can walk you through how larger items fold or adjust, which saves guesswork.
Inventory turns quickly, so there is real treasure-hunt energy without the chaos. Fresh arrivals land weekly, seasonal displays are front and center, and the mix includes both consigned pieces and a few new basics brought in for resale. Consignors are paid after items sell, so the racks stay curated rather than cluttered.
A roomy, stroller-friendly floor, sorted-by-size racks, and a small play area help everyone keep their cool. Prices run budget to mid-range, with occasional higher-value finds priced sensibly, plus periodic markdowns. Easy parking in the neighborhood shopping area is the final nudge to stop by.
Bella Boutique & Consignment
Think curated racks, tidy displays, and prices that make sense. Bella Boutique & Consignment delivers.
Across Ferndale and Blaine, you get a boutique feel without the fuss. Well-edited women’s pieces, a sprinkle of men’s, handbags, shoes, jewelry. Seasonal rotation keeps it current, with occasional formalwear. Ferndale adds a touch of home decor.
The angle is budget-friendly style with a sustainable heartbeat. Most items are new or gently loved, and midweek intake means fresh arrivals often. Prices sit in the affordable to mid-range lane, so trying something new feels easy.
Thinking of consigning? Expect great-condition standards, roughly a 90-day term, and about a 60/40 split, with 40 percent to you. Outright buys are by appointment at around a quarter of list price. Staff explain it clearly.
Woman-owned and community rooted, Bella makes it simple to keep tabs on new arrivals through active socials. If curated secondhand without the dig appeals, these are two stops worth putting on the loop.
