TWO UPTOWN GIRLS

Deana Bobbin tries to run her consignment shop with class, and thereby comes its name, TWO UPTOWN GIRLS. (Her partner originally was co-founder Dana DiBiasio, but now number two is her 10-year-old daughter.) Bobbin stocks designer labels when she can get them, such as Fendi and Gucci handbags. Upscale jewelry is always popular, purchased in buying trips to New York City and also from such local makers as Rock Royalty and Mary’s Makings. Recently a never-worn pair of Coach boots, originally $300, went for $80. You might also find a ballet tutu for your little girl, or sports outfits for either gender. As graduation time approaches there are likely to be prom dresses and men’s formal wear. Bobbin’s stock is supplemented by trips to the Manhattan fashion district, for boutiquey additions. | 1136 Kingstown Road (Route 138), Hope Valley | 401.539.9500
