Luxury that lives on: Fashion forward, Giving back

At Celery Consignment Boutique, our upscale women’s consignment shop is dedicated to offering chic, high-quality brands at competitive prices for every woman who wants to feel stylish and confident.

What makes Celery special

We give consignors the chance to sell their pre-loved and new items in our store for 90 days, with the opportunity to showcase them online through live Instagram feeds and our Facebook and Instagram shops. This way, every item has a chance to shine on multiple platforms, maximizing the chance to find its next owner. And if an item doesn’t sell in the 90-day period, consignors can choose to pick it up or donate it to Celery.

Three pairs of sneakers rest on a pink bench, showcasing varied designs: red and brown with a pattern, white with yellow accents, and beige with fur lining. A celery green shoe shelf adds a vibrant touch in the background.

How we make an impact

We host a semi-annual event to give women from shelters and other local organizations the chance to shop our donated items for free. This event allows women to find something special — whether it’s for a job interview, a graduation, or just a boost of confidence. Our goal is to help these women feel empowered and ready to take on whatever life brings their way.

At Celery, we’re passionate about giving preloved upscale clothing a second life, while also giving back to women who could truly use it. Whether it’s through consigning, donating, or shopping, we’re all about empowering women — one item at a time.

About Jennifer

I graduated from Auburn University with an Apparel Merchandising degree. After interning with an Atlanta magazine I had hopes the internship would led to a position with a fashion magazine in NYC. I began my first professional start in retail management at Buckle in their management trainee program. At the end of the program trainees are given the opportunity to go managed a store where available. I married an active duty military service member and we moved every three years. It’s hard to have a career when you are moving every three years. I had various jobs from retail, banking, call center representative, jewelry sales, and insurance sales.

How I Chose 901

Once I began to have kids I started selling their outgrown clothes and shoes and shopping second hand for their clothing. Eventually I was selling my unwanted clothing and making good extra money. My hobby turned very lucrative for me. And for the past two to three years I was reselling items online on various marketplace platforms. In 2023 came another military move and another decision about income for me. I was growing out of space to continue to sell my recycled fashion out of my home. I came across Celery’s Instagram post about being up for sale. My husband encouraged me to go for it. And here we are today selling sustainable style in Memphis, TN.
