Designer brands have successfully maintained their place in the fashion world for their classic design, exclusivity, and high quality. However, high quality often comes at equally high prices, a fact that prevents more people from enjoying these designer items. Fortunately, New Jersey residents can get their hands on authentic high-end designer clothing, bags, shoes, and accessories through local upscale consignment shop, Elegant Exchange. Conveniently located in downtown Manasquan, the store is a mere two blocks from the train station and a short drive from the beach.

Elegant Exchange was born in 2002, shortly after owner Birgit Graham retired from her career as a flight attendant with Delta and Pan Am. Her career, which spanned 35 years, greatly influenced her interest in fashion, as Graham was exposed to the latest fashion trends via fashion houses from around the world. Fourteen years later, this consignment shop is a local favorite when it comes to designer fashion.

The store carries a wide range of both casual and formal clothing styles, from classically simple blazers to elegant fur coats. Designer handbags—which are added regularly to Elegant Exchange’s eclectic collection—are especially popular and highly coveted at the shop. Some of the brands that Elegant Exchange carries include Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Louboutin, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Yves Saint-Laurent, among others.

Graham and the rest of the Elegant Exchange team closely scrutinize every article of clothing, each handbag, and all shoes to ensure that they are in prime condition. Every designer piece comes with a full guarantee of authenticity as well. Customers are welcome to make inquiries about items and styles that they want to see, and the team provides regular updates on their availability. Interested consignors can also have their items sold at the shop, provided that they review the FAQs on the Elegant Exchange website.

To get high-quality designer items in excellent condition at great prices, drop by the consignment shop or call Elegant Exchange at (732) 223-8300. To see regular updates on the newest designer items in the collection, “like” their Facebook page as well.
