Own a designer dress you love — on a hanger — or fashionable shoes just a tad too small? If your closet’s got almost-perfect items too cute to sell at a discount to a consignment store but too difficult to figure out how to wear, a new eco-boutique in Playa Del Rey called Give + Take can help.
Walk into Give + Take, and you’ll feel like you’re in a typical consignment store — except no money’s changing hands. That’s because Give + Take’s all about swapping, not selling.
“One of the important things in the environmental movement is shop in your own closet,” says Give + Take owner Dora Copperthite (above). “That’s the reason I’m doing this. Your closet is suddenly the closet of hundreds of ladies.”
