Shop Consignment in the Upper Valley & Update Your Spring Wardrobe
Apr 27, 2015 12:51PM ● By Victoria PipasThe Pink Alligator. This preppy consignment store carries new and used clothing from designer-label brands like Ralph Lauren, J Crew, Lilly, Talbots, Calvin Klein, and others. It’s great if you’re just browsing for basics like work-friendly khakis, polos, cardigans, or button-downs. You’re also likely to find that perfect summer dress, a half-off winter coat, a pair of gently used heels, and maybe even a designer accessory. The Pink Alligator has a charming setup; the pink- and green-adorned store is filled with rows of clothes organized by color. Most items are about half the price you would expect to pay in any of the shops mentioned above. So when you find that item at the Pink Alligator, it’s generally a great buy. In addition, this store now offers men’s clothing, so guys should check out the offerings too. The Pink Alligator is located behind the Nugget Theater in Hanover, New Hampshire. Check out their website to set up a consignment appointment or browse the new online store.
