Online Consignment Stores Becoming Mainstream

May 19, 2008
ALBUQUERQUE, NM -- 05/19/08 -- Consumers once thought of consignment clothing stores as they thought of thrift shops. Images of old clothing from the 1980’s would run through consumers minds. 2 Time Couture has changed that. Located in Albuquerque’s trendy EDO district, 2 Time Couture offers shoppers top quality merchandise and customer service in a boutique environment. “Many shoppers thought consignment meant old and low quality, but it’s just not true.” said Mildred Ramthun, owner of 2 Time Couture. “After people visit 2 Time Couture, their perception changes. Most of our clientele had never shopped consignment in the past, including myself.” 2 Time Couture opened in 2005 on the idea consignment can be a form of mainstream shopping by offering high quality clothing, superior customer service and a great location. 2 Time Couture has recently added online shopping to accommodate customers located outside of Albuquerque. “We have a high standard for all the clothing we accept. We go through every piece to makes sure the clothes are in like new condition. Our customers always know they are getting top quality.” In addition to clothing, 2 Time Couture also sells handbags, shoes and accessories. “We are very strict on the designer handbags we accept and require the certificate of authenticity to ensure we only sell authentic handbags.” As the economy continues to struggle, Consignment is becoming an option many consumers are now considering. In addition to great clothing, consignment offers the additional benefit of allowing consumers to “go green.” For more information on consignment and 2 Time Couture, please visit shop2time.com or call 505-242-3600. ### Media Contact: Marc Ramthun Phone: 505-242-3600 \n e-mail: This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it Website: www.shop2time.com
