VIDEO: Shop with a Purpose at Purple

New consignment shop, Purple, aids in the fight against domestic violence.

Looking for a way to sell unwanted clothes, bags, shoes and other accessories that you spent a fortune on? You can do that at while also helping those effected by domestic violence.

Purple prices clothes and all other items based on condition and retail value. The clothes are kept at the store for 90 days and if they do not sell the original owner has the option to either take the clothes back, if not, they will be donated to a shelter for those involved with domestic violence.

The blueprint of the store came from the fact that many women cannot leave the abusive relationship because they are not financially stable, therefor forcing them to sell their clothes and accessories as a mean for supporting themselves and children.
