The Daily Oklahoman Features ChicXchange

Closet chic lands in Edmond boutique

EDMOND — Imagine being able to buy trendy clothing and name brand items such as Louis Vuitton, Brighton, Coach and Fossil at tremendously lower prices than retail.

That’s the vision Andee Brenner, owner of the chicXchange, has for her women’s’ clothing consignment boutique in downtown Edmond.

The chicXchange opened three weeks ago at 101 E Hurd, between Boulevard and Littler.

“I came up with what I thought were some great names,” Brenner said.

“But I did a little research and found they were all taken. So I’m thinking chic and exchange, girls exchanging and chicXchange came out as the name.”

The shop carries all sizes of women’s clothing.

“Trendy things that are in great shape,” Brenner said. “Plus jewelry, clothes, purses, shoes anything that’s girly.”

Brenner began the business by first going through her closet. She then emailed her friends, and soon the store was fully stocked.

The shop offers a 50-50 consignment agreement on a 60-day consignment contract.

“As your items sell, you get 50 percent of the sales price,” Brenner said. Consignment items are seen by appointment only. Brenner said there is a lot of competition in the local consignment business. “My goal is to be reasonable on the prices,” she said.
