How long have you been open?

Eight years in January.

Did you choose this location for a particular reason?

Olyphant is a great location with other fine, small businesses. The town is very active and busy like the Olyphant of the past. When I was young, I used to ride the bus with my grandmother to shop in Olyphant. Olyphant has always been known for their stores and shopping.

What kind of items do you carry?

I resell famous designers - that's first and foremost when I opened the store. Currently, I have things like Gucci shoes, a cuff bracelet from Chanel, Tiffany sterling silver jewelry and a large vintage selection, as well as a lot of famous designer purses and sunglasses, and Express and Limited merchandise. It makes me very happy when I can offer a pair of $400 Gucci shoes for under $100 in usually mint condition. Along with consignment, we sell new clothes with New York fashion labels, 70-90 percent below retail.

Do you cater to a particular clientele?

Everyone wants to look fashionable. So basically my clientele is an all-age range. The main clientele, though, is women who love designer labels.

What is the biggest misconception that people have about consignment stores?

I'm not the consignment store of the past. Design 2 Consign is like having a mini Sak's Fifth Avenue in your backyard.
