From boutique-polished closets to large seasonal sales, Carmel offers consignment and resale options that prize quality, organization, and fair pricing. Whether you are refreshing your wardrobe, outfitting grandkids, or hunting a standout piece for the home, these spots make shopping easy and enjoyable.
Let’s get to it.
Amanda’s Exchange
Treasure-hunt energy meets boutique polish at Amanda’s Exchange. A designer-purse wall anchors the register, jewelry cases line the front, and a separate shoe room stays blissfully organized. Even the furniture and home side feels curated, not crammed.
On Carmel’s north side, this full-service consignment boutique spans women’s, juniors, and children’s clothing with accessories to match. Think better brands with the occasional true designer, presented in tidy zones that make browsing easy on both time and knees. Staff stay friendly and helpful.
Prices sit mid to upper-mid, so everyday steals mingle with splurge-worthy handbags and fine jewelry. Stock turns quickly, with seasonal refreshes, sale racks, and occasional outdoor vendor markets that pull in artisan and vintage finds.
Consignment is selective. Clean, ready-to-wear pieces on hangers go through a brief inspection, and acceptance can be conservative. Payouts come as store credit or mailed checks once thresholds are met, and the no-returns policy means a careful once-over is wise.
Whale of a Sale
A pop-up that feels like a mega market, Whale of a Sale takes over Grand Park in Westfield, just north of Carmel. Expect stadium-size shopping and upscale consignment, with thousands of items priced 60 to 90 percent below retail.
Quality is the hook. Only clean, working, gently used pieces make the floor, with plenty of name brands and even tags still on. You will find infant-to-teen clothing and shoes, strollers, car seats, toys, books, nursery furniture, sporting goods, plus some maternity and women’s activewear, with a large-item area for cribs and highchairs.
Despite the scale, it is easy to move with purpose. The stadium-style layout groups by size and category, and checkout is clearly marked. Crowds swell at peak hours, so reserve a spot or grab a VIP presale. Half Price Day delivers a true bargain rush.
Best for budget-minded parents and grandparents who still care about brands and safety. It is ideal for bulk seasonal shopping or outfitting a nursery without the boutique bill. Expect a lively community vibe and efficient volunteers at checkout.
Consigned by Design
Think showroom polish with consignment pricing. That is the sweet spot at Consigned by Design.
On Indy’s north side along the 96th Street corridor, minutes from Carmel, you get a nearly 10,000-square-foot main showroom plus a 4,000-square-foot Annex. Plenty of breathing room for sofas, dining sets, and statement lighting to shine.
Expect rugs, mirrors, wall art, fine china, seasonal décor, and a tasteful sprinkling of jewelry and fashion accessories. Pieces skew current or timeless rather than quirky, and the staff merchandises by category, so browsing feels like shopping a well-appointed model home. Inventory turns often, which keeps the hunt lively and the quality high.
Pricing follows a clear 120-day cadence, stepping down about 20 percent every 30 days. Deal chasers can wait it out, while decisive buyers can pounce. Add delivery coordination and a 24/7 online storefront, and it is easy to act when the right piece appears.
Selling is just as polished. Intake is by appointment, standards are selective, and tracking happens in a real-time portal. There is a small setup fee, a 50/50 split, and monthly checks ready mid month. Prefer curated over cluttered? Put this on your shortlist.
The Toggery Resale Boutique
Think curated closet, not chaotic thrift. The Toggery Resale Boutique runs on one-of-a-kind inventory, so every rack feels fresh and intentional.
In Broad Ripple, it leans bright and organized. Racks are sorted by size, shoes and handbags get pride of place, and a small designer section adds sparkle. A few decor pieces, too.
Quality is the filter. Clean, on-hanger pieces only. Current styles and better labels. Luxury purses receive third-party authentication. Condition skews lightly used to excellent, with the occasional vintage gem that feels special, not fusty.
Pricing lands mid-range to upscale resale. Expect attainable labels alongside real designer bargains, so a sharp blazer or statement bag can pop without the sticker shock of retail.
Consignors get clarity. Intake on set days while you wait, selective decisions, and an online portal to track items and balances. Community buzz pegs payouts around forty percent, with checks or store credit available. New pieces hit daily, and the online catalog ships.
Uptown Cheapskate NE Indianapolis
With boutique-level polish and realistic resale pricing, Uptown Cheapskate on the northeast side makes quick work of a wardrobe refresh. A quick hop from Carmel, it feels curated, not chaotic, and prices stay kind to a smart budget.
Sellers appreciate the process. Bring an ID, buyers sort while you browse, then choose cash on the spot or a bump as store credit, often about 25 percent more.
Inventory leans current and brand-focused, from Lululemon, Free People, and Nike to Nordstrom-label finds. Expect shoes and purses, plus some kids pieces. Occasional designer handbags surface, and new arrivals land all week, so every visit feels like a small treasure hunt.
While the vibe skews youthful, style-savvy adults do well. Think elevated basics, premium denim, polished athleisure, and seasonal outerwear that looks fresh without the department-store price.
The store reads bright and tidy, more boutique than thrift. Reviews often call out friendly staff, and their social feeds flag promos, charity bag sales, and those brag-worthy #UptownFinds. Great for quick closet cash or stretching dollars on trend-right pieces. Less ideal for true vintage hounds or formalwear seekers, but a strong yes for everyday style at sensible prices.
