1 I am proud to be a customer, as well as a consignor for this upscale resale shop. I love expensive and name brand clothing, but did not see the need to shop at malls or boutiques. I went into 2nd Debut one day, just browsing and immediately I was hooked. Expensive name brand clothing, shoes and handbags that are affordable. I was proud to wear and carry the apparel I found there. Leita C. Out with the Old, in with the New!
