Have you heard of Eco Chico Kids Resale Boutique? I visited recently and it’s a must-see for frugal family shoppers whose kids seem to outgrow their items as soon as you buy them.
Eco Chico Boutique is located in West St. Paul, Minnesota, and is a vibrant and eco-friendly shop. The boutique offers a lot of high-quality, gently used, affordable baby and kids’ clothing, accessories, equipment, and toys.
The shop is owned by a local mom, Krystell Escobar-Theisen. I talked with her and learned she and her husband have 3 kids and a strong business background. She wanted to open a shop that would save families money while also saving the environment at the same time. And it does do both by giving used items a new life, reducing how many new items a family needs to buy, and pricing items affordably. Items here are priced at around 70% off the retail price, and are 50-60% cheaper than you’d find even at Target.
The store’s atmosphere is welcoming, chic, and colorful. In fact, all the wall art was painted just for the boutique by a local artist from Electric Machete Studios.
Eco Chico sells items for babies through kids size 18, as well as maternity. This means clothing, toys, baby equipment, strollers, books and a variety of other items families can use. And the selection is always changing as they buy 70-80% of what people try to sell here. That’s great news for families looking for make some money getting rid of their used items!
