Plano’s thriving consignment scene gets a digital boost as Labels Designer Consignment Boutique announces the rollout of an online shopping platform. The move lets customers browse the boutique’s curated selection of upscale apparel and accessories from the comfort of home, then either pick up their purchases at the store or have them shipped directly.
Online features tailored for local shoppers
Owner Judi Gugel explained that the new system is designed to complement the brick‑and‑mortar experience rather than replace it. Shoppers can place an item on hold, visit the shop to try it on, and finalize the purchase online once they’re satisfied. “We want to give our customers the flexibility to shop how they prefer,” Gugel said.
Partnership with Thrift Score
To broaden its reach, Labels Designer is partnering with Thrift Score, a community platform that helps consumers locate secondhand retailers. The collaboration will list the boutique’s inventory on Thrift Score’s searchable database, making it easier for Plano residents and nearby shoppers to discover the store’s offerings.
Recent relocation and growth
Earlier this summer, Labels Designer reopened inside a FlexEtc‑owned space after moving from its former location at 5809 Preston Road, Suite 590. The new venue provides a larger showroom floor and modern amenities that support both in‑person and online operations. Gugel noted that the relocation has already attracted a broader customer base, and the online expansion is the next logical step.
Supporting the local economy
The boutique’s growth aligns with Plano’s broader push to support small businesses and encourage sustainable shopping practices. By extending its market beyond the physical storefront, Labels Designer creates additional jobs, generates more sales tax revenue, and promotes the reuse of high‑quality garments—a win for both the community and the environment.
What shoppers can expect
- Easy navigation of the boutique’s inventory with high‑resolution photos and detailed descriptions.
- Secure checkout and multiple payment options.
- Flexible fulfillment: in‑store pickup for immediate try‑on or home delivery for convenience.
- Hold‑and‑try service that lets customers reserve items before committing to a purchase.
Gugel emphasized that the boutique will continue to host regular in‑store events, such as styling workshops and seasonal sales, ensuring that the personal touch that defines consignment shopping remains a core part of the experience.
Looking ahead
With the online platform now live, Labels Designer Designer Consignment Boutique aims to expand its digital marketing efforts, including targeted social‑media campaigns and email newsletters highlighting new arrivals. The goal is to attract shoppers from across Collin County while maintaining the boutique’s reputation for quality, affordability, and community‑focused service.
