Consignment Shop

Oh, Current, how well you know us! Owner Carmen Lopez opened her first consignment boutique in Courthouse in 2007 with the mission of giving Arlington’s party girls and social sophisticates a place to pass along their gently used—but still very now—clothing and accessories. Her idea was so popular that she expanded into a bigger space (just up the block in Clarendon) in 2015, and added three more stores in the D.C. area. Yet there never seems to be any shortage of on-trend clothes, shoes, bags and accessories from designer names like Tory Burch, Marc Jacobs, Rebecca Taylor and Manolo Blahnik, as well as some past-season favorites from the likes of J.Crew, Zara and Anthropologie—making sustainable shopping both easy and chic.
