One person’s closet cast-off is another person’s gently used, fashionable find.
85 per cent of Canadians participate in the second-hand economy and Alberta is particularly involved with the highest participation rate in Canada according to Kijiji’s 2018 Second-Hand Economy Index. With clothing, accessories and shoes being the most exchanged items, Calgarians are equally as stylish as they are sustainable.
Whether you’re looking to update your wardrobe or give some of your current closet items a new home, here are a few Calgary consignment shops that can help:
The Upside
There really is no downside to The Upside.
An online reseller of more than 200 designer brands, The Upside redefines the lifecycle of luxury clothing. All clothing items are curated with care, focusing on quality and current styles that buyers can acquire for a fraction of the original retail price. For sellers, The Upside’s consignment process makes reselling simple by providing complimentary at-home pick-up in Calgary and mail-in service across Canada.
How to consign: Make an account online and select at-home pick-up (Calgary only) or mail-in service.
Peacock Boutique
The Peacock Boutique makes sustainable fashion chic.
With locations in Kensington, Inglewood and the Beltline, each store has its own unique atmosphere where you’ll find trendy street fashion and vintage styles. In the interest of supporting the local community, what items are not sold during the season are donated to charity.

You can find everything from modern to vintage at Velour.
