Best Consignment Stores In Sacramento

Finding just the right thing to complement your personal style or personal space is a dream come true. Unfortunately, designer labels, inspired classics, cool trends and gorgeous antiques have one thing in common – they generally come with hefty price tags. Luckily, savvy Sacramentans can score great deals on new or gently used items that are available in consignment shops. Many shoppers enjoy the process so much that they bring in their own items for consignment; if an item is purchased, both the consignment shop and the seller make some money.

The fun and friendly couple who own m.a.r.k. are big fans of 50s, 60s and 70s designs, and clearly love what they do. If you have something in mind that they do not currently have in stock, let them know and they will try to find it for you. Layaway is available, which is not common in consignment boutiques.
