New

It has been another very busy August at The Garment District. Every year we try something new & this year is no exception.

Though we love tradition - every year we try to do things that improve the store. When I think back all the little things we have done have really added up. Once upon a time we had shared dressing rooms, an elevator engine that made an amazing racket and only one cash register. This year we've revamped the front of the 2nd floor adding more retail space & hopefully improving the checkout process. As a result for the 1st time you can see a tiny portion of the back of the store from the front staircase. When I first saw this it really made me appreciate how big the store is.

Other than layout & floor space we've also worked hard to improve our clothing selection. This year we've enlarged the designer clothing section we started only a year ago. Also we've been selling more & more new clothing & accessories and have expanded these sections to keep pace. By expanding the floor space we are still able to keep the enormous selection of used & vintage clothing you've come to expect from The Garment District.

Every time there is some change in the store there needs to be a moment to reflect on the past. I had a customer say to me the other day: "I heard you were closing Dollar-A-Pound!" I assured her it wasn't true. To me Dollar-A-Pound is tradition. It's an experience different than anything you are likely to find elsewhere. Every year we like to make some type of improvements. 10 years ago we didn't sell new clothing. Now its the 3rd best selling section in the store. But that doesn't mean we leave our roots. We expand it, change it, mold it so next years experience is better than the last.

Hope you like this years changes.
