3. CONSIGNMENT STORE OPENING IN WESTWOOD VILLAGE
From the UCLA Daily Bruin:
2nd street, on the corner of Kinross Ave and Westwood Boulevard is a new consignment store that provides more access to sustainable shopping for the Westwood community.
2nd Street is a Japan-based consignment store that offers second-hand luxury, vintage and streetwear clothing, according to its website. While the store has not announced an official Westwood opening date, the location is likely to open its doors to the public before the end of July, said Michael Russell, executive director of the Westwood Village Improvement Association.
Customers receive cash or store credit for selling their used clothes to 2nd Street, which the store then resells, said Miles Garofola-Lam, the internal social director of Refine LA, a sustainable fashion club at UCLA.
