The more you buy, the more you save!  Of course B.B.’s Closet does not price any of the items, that is up to each of our consignors individually, but typically they price their items at 50% - 75% off of the original retail price. Also make sure to visit our Half-Price Sale later on Saturday where you can save even more! As attractive as our half-price sale is, make sure you also shop early on for the best selection.
