Best Second Hand Store, Winner Elise! Clothing Company Address: 310 Alamaha St., Unit 3, Kahului, HI 96732 Phone: 808-893-5473 Email: info@eliseclothingcompany.com Website: http://www.eliseclothingcompany.com I know you've seen the ads for Elise! They're the ones that always feature some hot naked chick. Yeah, you know the ones I'm talking about. Elise! is the type of second hand store that sells "pieces" instead of mere used clothing. Elise! takes the grunt work out of scouring rummage, garage and yard sales for that perfect outfit that screams "indie-fabulous." My favorite part of the store is at the back—Elise! always has some cuttingly clever word-tees (my not-so secret indulgence). Oh, the picture of the half dressed stud in one of the dressing rooms doesn't hurt either.
CONSIGNMENT STORE, Winner Elise! Clothing Company Address: 310 Alamaha St., Unit 3, Kahului, HI 96732 Phone: 808-893-5473 Email: info@eliseclothingcompany.com Website: http://www.eliseclothingcompany.com Sorry, Kermit. It is easy being green. Just head to either of Elise!’s secondhand shops and find out how easy it is to buy, sell and/or trade trendy threads -- and get other gals green with envy. More than cute, Elise! is cost-and Earth-conscious (read: you get bang for your buck while keeping you bootie looking bangin’). But wait, dear readers. Elise! ain’t exactly a consignment shop. Rather, they buy all their inventory upfront--which keeps everything easy peasy lemon squeezy for clientele. No wonder Mauians know that when they have “nothing to wear,” they ought to hop on over to Elise!.
A certain hipster chain will charge you about $60 for a shirt that looks like it was found in a local consignment store. You balk at the price, aren’t consignment store finds supposed to be cheaper? The sullen teenage mascot rolls his eyes at you, “It’s supposed to be ironic,” he exhales. However, if you shop at Elise, you can actually buy a shirt from a local consignment store, for a reasonable price. But, if that’s not cool enough for you, maybe you can ask the friendly and accommodating staff to glare at you, when they ring you up. 840 Wainee St., Lahaina, 808-661-5473 / 310 Alamaha St., Kahului, 808-893-5473 / 95 E.
