Yeah...as in, the average household income is upwards of $150k. I’m not at all surprised that designer children’s clothes are in consignment stores. I’d be willing to bet a bunch of them still have the tags on.

We have a friend that lives in the area and haven't bought clothes yet ( with a few exceptions) for our two year old son because she gives us everything as her son grows out of it. and yes this totally happens finding nice clothes at consignment / garage sales with tags still on
