Clothing, accessories, home furnishings

Reclayme Consignment, 504 S. Edgemoor, is a designer consignment store featuring new and like-new clothing, outerwear and accessories for women, men and children. In addition, the store also sells home accessories, including artwork.

"We have the best designer labels, and we have a full range of sizes for women - up to 5X," said Dottee Thompson, who along with Sandra Elmore, owns Reclayme Consignment. "We're a full upscale resale shop."

Although the store opened its 3,500-square-foot showroom on the southeast corner of Edgemoor and Kellogg a mere two months ago, already it's filled with well-known brands, like St. Croix, Liz Claiborne, Escada, Polo, Gap, Lucky and Tommy Hilfiger. Discerning parents will recognize a number of designer boutique brands. In addition, Reclayme's jewelry and accessories selection includes a variety of pieces at attractive price-points.

"At Reclayme, name brands fill the store, but we have prices that make sure we can reach every single person, ranging from $6 to $300," said Sandra.

"We make sure somebody else enjoys what you bring to us," said Dottee. "We consign all those wonderful things you paid nice prices for, and then leave in your closet because they don't fit or because you're ready for a change."

Of course, this also means that buyers at Reclayme Consignment must be choosy in their selections. "We have turned some items down (that were offered by individuals for consignment)," said Dottee. "It has to be that way because we want each customer to walk through our store and love what they see. Even our previously owned items look absolutely like brand new."
And, just in time for the holidays, Reclayme Consignment is offering a limited time promotion. For the cost of a $50 gift card, Reclayme will put together a complete in-store makeover, including an outfit, and hair and makeup tips.

Dottee and Sandra know first-hand what a difference a new look can make. The two recently received makeovers from stylist Kathy Marymann. We have a host of people to whom they are grateful. "Thank you to our friends and family who have supported us, who helped us move to this location, who showed us a lot of love. We want to especially thank our husbands, Joseph Elmore and T.C. Thompson, because without them, this wouldn't have been possible," said Dottee and Sandra.

Dottee previously owned 2nd To None, a retail consignment shop on South Rock Road, and worked for nearly two decades at Dillard's and Henry's. Sandra, who worked as an inspector at Spirit AeroSystems, retired three years ago. They met while attending the same church, and after being prompted by a recurring dream, Sandra asked Dottee if she'd like to become a partner in a new consignment store venture - just as Dottee was praying for direction in her own career.
"It was exactly that clear cut, and the business has been growing phenomenally every since," said Sandra. "We are truly a fairy tale of a business."
