Hip Used Clothing: New Clothing Store Alternative Opens In Downtown Davis

A new hip women's used clothing store opens In downtown Davis. Cute and interesting clothing -- most prices only $6 - $12!

It's back to school time and your closets are full of clothing you aren't wearing... time to trade them in for store credit or cash at a new used clothing store in dowtown Davis.

It's called Bohème, and I'm the owner. We hand select every item in the store and offer store credit or cash for your gently used items. 

Most items and brands at Bohème are priced from $6-$12, premium brands such as True Religion, Joe’s Jeans, J Brand, BCBG and other top brands priced higher. For the hardcore thifters, bargain basket items are priced at just $3 each.

Bohème stocks all types of women's clothing: tanks, t-shirts, skirts, shorts, jeans, pants, coats, dresses, purses, shoes hoodies, and jackets.

Davis needed a used clothing store with hipness, and with style, in my opinion. Bohème is unique because we hand-select every single item in the store, trying to stock only items that people would really want — whereas most used clothing stores just try to resell every used item that comes in the door. We're much more selective — we do the looking and sorting for you so that you find cool stuff every time you stop in.

It's a fun way to clean out your closets and find something new and unique to wear.

Bohème is riding the wave of a current trend in retail clothing across the nation where used clothing shops hand-pick their items and feature retail spaces that are clean, fun and lively like traditional new clothing outlets. Stores like Bohème, Buffalo Exchange, and Crossroads Trading Co. are changing the way people think about used clothing shops by updating the retail space with a clean and current look, instead of the tired often unkempt look of the traditional used clothing shop.

Fashion conscious customers enjoy the dramatic savings of a used boutique like Bohème because famous name brands typically sell for between 20%-30% of what they cost when purchased new and because Bohème doesn't handle consignment clothing, prices can be kept low all year around.

Some of the top brands Bohème sells include: Abercrombie & Fitch, Aeropostale, American Eagle, Banana Republic, BCBG, Bebe, Calvin Klein, Citizens of Humanity, DKNY, Gap, Guess, Hollister, J.Crew, Joe's Jeans, Inc., LA Idol, Levi's, Loft, Lucky Brand, Mudd, Rampage, Roxy, Tommy Hilfiger, and True Religion.
