TALKING SHOP: Fab fashions abound in Manayunk

CP's Kelsey McGlynn embarks on a hood-specific summertime boutique crawl. This week, she takes the Regional Rail northwest to tackle Manayunk's consignment shops.

Greene Street Consignment, 4313 Main St., 267-335-5478

The modern, vibrant vibe of Greene Street Consignment immediately caught my eye as I walked along Main Street Manayunk. As soon as I walked in the door, I was greeted by Rachael, a store employee who was more than happy to show me around the well-organized shop.

The sales floor is stocked with great summer styles in an array of colors. “Our clothing covers a big age range,” Rachael explained, “which makes us different.” Greene Street features mostly women’s clothing, but there's a small men’s section in the back. It's clear that Greene Street focuses more on trends than tags. Their clothing is unique, reasonably priced and there’s something for everyone — whether you're a middle-aged mom or just about to embark on your first semester at college. Put this place on your shopping to-do list as a definite go-to for colorful, seasonal styles.

Upscale Resale, 4255 Main St.

I was drawn to the brown vintage Prada shoes in the window of Upscale Resale. Inside, the time-warped décor mirrors the inventory. The store is stocked with high-end designer goods, both vintage and brand-new, such as Prada, Hermes, Gucci and Coach.

Upscale Resale has a little bit of everything for everyone. It’s the perfect place to fall in love with the past or step into the style of a modern-day fashionista. There's an eclectic selection of women’s shoes, dresses and shirts, but what really blew me away was the extensive men’s jean collection. This consignment shop is a great place for couples shopping; both the men's and women’s sections are packed with fab fashions.
