Why Supporting a Local Store Matters

Sep 12
2 min read

When you shop at a local store, you're doing more than making a purchase. You're supporting people, businesses and the community around you.

At The Velvet Studio, a significant portion of every consignment sale goes back to our local consignors. When you purchase a consigned item, you're helping someone in our community turn something they no longer need into money they can use.


We're Consignment, Not a Thrift Store

The Velvet Studio is a curated consignment boutique. We offer a more elevated shopping experience with quality clothing, purses, vintage finds and unique pieces, along with Maker Goods from local creators.

Our prices aren't traditional thrift-store prices, and that's intentional. We carefully select, process and merchandise items to create a boutique-style shopping experience where you can discover something special.


Your Purchase Helps Create a Community Cycle

A consignor brings us something they no longer need. We prepare and merchandise it. You discover it and give it a new home. The consignor earns money from the sale.

When you purchase from a local maker, you're directly supporting their creativity and small business, too.

It's all connected.


Make an Afternoon of It

When you visit The Velvet Studio, take your time. Browse the store, check out the Maker Goods, dance to the '80s playing in the background and then walk around downtown Reedsburg.

You may discover a shop you've never visited, grab a coffee or find something else you didn't know was here.


That's the fun of shopping local. Slow down, look around and discover something new.

Thank you for shopping local, consigning with us and supporting our makers. Every visit helps keep our community vibrant and our downtown thriving.
