Used, Vintage & Consignment in Gloucester, MA

“Always find something unique and special at this shop. I stop in frequently and the owner is lovely and fun. My friend and I have a standing annual date when I’m up in Gloucester in June, to stop in the The Dress Code and shop for something that catches our eye. As far as bringing consignment clothes in to offer, it’s an organized system, reasonable reimbursement and as long as your clothes are well presented on hangers and clean, they’ll entertain quite a few items, unlike other shops I’ve experienced ~who flip through your stuff with an attitude-like they’re doing you a favor. This owner knows it’s her business model. Treat people with respect ~ and they’ll respect you. Love the Dress Code.”

“Fun little shop in the character of the Annisquam village. Merchandise is donated by local residents and proceeds are used to fund upkeep and maintenance on the local civic structures. Folks are very helpful and there is a gallery upstairs that features local artists. Structure was once the one room schoolhouse where the villages children were educated.”

“This shop has something for everyone but it's especially good if you have a festive occasion to go to and you don't feel like spending hundreds of dollars. The men's section takes up about 1/4 of the store and children's section less but you can find great used jeans including Levi's and some designer brands in a big range of sizes. You can even find housewares here if you like vintage decor. I recommend this store to anyone coming from the city or out of state because it's the last vestige of the more wild and arty culture that used to thrive in Gloucester in the 70's thanks in part to the store owner himself. The place really should be a historical landmark because of how much it has improved the culture of Gloucester. The owner is known for these incredibly imaginative fashion shows that over the years have raised money for good causes like the restoration of city hall downtown. His store is like a public art piece that's totally authentic. If you are an appreciator of that then you will enjoy supporting this business.”
