About Us

Consigning Women first opened its doors in 1989 in the Avondale neighborhood, just across the Ashley River from historic Charleston, SC. As one of the city’s very first consignment shops, it quickly became the go-to place for women to consign and shop.

In 1994, Ann Gadsden Shimer purchased the business and set about bringing new life to it. Sixteen years later, in 2010, she moved Consigning Women to its current location in Mount Pleasant.

After 30 incredible years, Ann passed the torch in 2025 to her longtime and dedicated shop manager, Owen Gregory, who has been part of the Consigning Women family for 15 years.

Today, Consigning Women is a beloved destination for women across Charleston, Mount Pleasant, James Island, Johns Island, Kiawah, and Seabrook. We carry all your favorite designers and feature one of the best luxury selections in the Lowcountry.
