ASSINIBOIA — Jenna, from Silent H Trading Post in Assiniboia, says they have always offered consignment options on ladies’, men’s and children’s clothing. However, the business saw a need and decided to act on it, now offering formal consignment items such as bridesmaid and graduation dresses.
“I was inspired by the idea of how many of us often wear a fancy or formal garment once, and then it sits in our closet for many years after, with no need to wear it again. I thought that if I have this many dresses hanging in my closet, there must be other people with the same issue.”
The business started accepting graduation and bridesmaid dresses on Feb. 24, and so far, they have had an abundant, wonderful community response. Jenna says they received messages, phone calls and people dropping dresses off for consignment on the first day of the announcement.
Silent H Trading Post consignment program has been popular.
“We only accept certain items during specific times of the year, which we advise the public via our social media, website or in person,” adds Jenna.
The business says their goal for this program is to help the community, in general, offering an option to sell their graduation and bridesmaid dresses, offering dress options locally, for those who will be shopping this season for various events, that may be seeking an affordable budget option.
Silent H Trading Post carries local artisan creations and makes bath products in-house, as well as offering handmade leather goods. They offer western style home décor and home goods gift shop located at 128-Centre St., inside the Mom’s Florist building.
