If you appreciate quality fabrics, thoughtful styling, and prices that respect your budget, Missoula offers a refined mix of consignment and resale shops. From boutique edits and size inclusive selections to purpose driven thrift and well kept kids’ gear for the grandkids, it is easy to refresh closets and rooms without paying full freight.
Let’s get to it.
ReStyle Clothing Exchange
Boutique polish at secondhand prices. ReStyle hits that sweet spot where racks look curated, pieces feel current, and the total at checkout still makes sense.
Expect gently used brand-name clothing for teens and adults, plus shoes, accessories, and purses. The edit is trend-forward with a few vintage gems that fit the vibe. Pricing lands mid-range for resale, often up to 80% off retail, and there is a small $5 and Under area for happy surprises.
Shopping is easy on the eyes and the nerves. Wide aisles, tidy sections, real dressing rooms, and friendly staff create a boutique experience rather than a dig-and-hope thrift. New arrivals drop often, and if you comment or message, they will hold a piece for 24 hours.
Selling is straightforward. This is not consignment. They buy on the spot with cash or store credit by appointment, and anything they pass on can be donated into their mystery bags that benefit local nonprofits.
Best fit? Brand-conscious shoppers who appreciate a clean, organized browse and want modern pieces without retail sticker shock. There is a small men’s section and only a toddler corner, so it is not a full family stop. Neighborhood vibe west of downtown, plus a dog-friendly touch.
Magpies Chic Consignment Boutique
From XS to 4X, the racks are dialed in, and the staff will actually style you. Magpies Chic Consignment Boutique keeps the thrill of the hunt, then removes the chaos.
Expect brand-name and boutique labels suited for everyday polish and professional wardrobes. Prices land in that sweet spot where quality feels attainable without thrift-store randomness. The boutique vibe runs strong, with tidy displays, smart pairings, and even the occasional complimentary beverage.
Fresh arrivals roll in constantly, so the floor stays lively. After an initial run, items slide into markdowns and tag-sale moments, with the occasional vintage piece or small home accent keeping things fun.
Consigning here is straightforward. Most pieces get a 60-day spotlight and earn a typical 30 percent payout, with itemized monthly statements so nothing feels mysterious. Bring items clean, pressed, and on hangers, since presentation matters; truly standout pieces may be purchased outright. Unsold items can be reclaimed after the term or donated if not picked up.
The newer, roomier spot off Stephens Ave helps with parking and browsing comfort. Choose Magpies if curated, size-inclusive fashion and friendly styling support beat bargain-bin digging every time.
Hope Thrift Boutique
Mission meets style at Hope Thrift Boutique. A community-run shop from Hope Rescue Mission, it pairs a bright, boutique vibe with real impact for Missoulians experiencing homelessness.
Racks are color-sorted and tidy. Expect women’s and men’s apparel, some kids, shoes, accessories, books, home décor, kitchenware, and a few household goods. Consigned furniture anchors the floor, with occasional vintage or design-forward one-offs that feel curated.
Pricing runs the gamut. Everyday tags lean budget friendly, while mid-range stickers show up on consigned furniture and rarer finds. Deal chasers can watch for Dollar Days, tag sales, and by-the-pound events at the RESCUED warehouse. New donations arrive daily, so turnover is brisk.
Have furniture to consign? They pre-screen by email or phone, then split proceeds after the sale. Pieces need to be clean and in sale-ready condition, and the staff will advise on suitability so you do not haul a loveseat for nothing.
Set along the SW Higgins corridor, the shop is mid-sized, easy to browse, and staffed by people who are genuinely helpful. Ideal if you want a boutique look, thrift prices, and the satisfaction of shopping with purpose.
Kid Crossing
Smart move number one, check the rental shelf first. Pack‑n‑Plays and high chairs are available short term, handy for visiting family or a quick trip, and they keep big gear from taking over the garage.
Shopping feels purposeful, not chaotic. Clean, recall‑free gear in like‑new condition sets the tone. The mix runs from newborn through size 14+/XL, with maternity, toys, books, strollers, and swings. New inventory lands daily, so repeat visits often pay off, and the staff is helpful without hovering.
Selling is straightforward but planned. They buy outright for cash or store credit, or take items on consignment. Expect roughly 25 percent in cash or up to 35 percent as store credit. Appointments are required and often run 3 to 6 weeks out. Donations are welcome without an appointment, and quality, popularity, and current inventory guide what they accept.
Great fit for budget‑minded families who still care about labels and condition. Also strong for grandparents who need gear without committing to full price. Do note the strict 30‑day hold policy on unclaimed items. After that, donations are made. Overall, a well‑run, locally owned spot that keeps kids’ essentials moving without the clutter.
