Alicia has 10 employees, includingChloe Marie who came to Return

Engagement through Easter Seals’WorkFirst job assistance program. “She’s aperfect employee because she’s detailoriented and is great at customer service,”said Alicia. “She’s an important part of ourteam.”

Return Engagement is located at 312Avenue I, Redondo Beach, and is openTuesday – Saturday from 11 am – 6 pmand Sunday 1pm – 5 pm. To sell youritems, call 310-375-0570 to make anappointment or stop by with eight items orless any Tuesday-Saturday. All items shouldbe new or like-new, clean and free of spots,tears and odors.

changed everything.“I was complimenting her on the

products she carried when she mentionedthe store was for sale, and it would onlytake a small amount down and a monthlypayment for me to buy it,” said Alicia, a

South Bay native. “I was only 24 at thetime so while I was intrigued, I didn’t thinkI could possibly swing it. But I wrote her aheartfelt letter, borrowed the downpayment from my parents and I haven’tlooked back since.”

Alicia’s innate business sense andinherent optimism are two big factors inthe store’s success.

“I still do business with dozens ofclients that have been shopping herebefore I even owned Return Engagement,”says Alicia. “It’s a win-win for customerswhether they sell here, buy here or both.For me, the best part is seeing a client’seyes light up when she finds the perfectitem at a great price, and helping those

selling their clothes make some money. Itnever gets old.”

Return Engagement was strictly aconsignment store for years. Under thatmodel, customers receive 50 percent ofthe selling price of their items once theyare sold. Items that don’t sell after a settime are donated or returned to thecustomer. Recently Alicia introduced otheroptions for customers to earn moneyfaster. For example, they can sell theiritems outright at 30 percent of theestimated resale prices for cash on thespot. Or they can trade their items for a 50percent store credit based on estimatedresale prices.

“Designer luxury items that are unique

and fit today’s casual lifestyle are amongthe most popular sellers, “says Alicia. “ Itell my customers that when choosingwhich items to sell, the harder it is to partwith the more likely it will be profitablebecause it’s probably something buyerswant.”

Return Engagement sells dresses,pants, shirts, skirts, coats, purses, shoesand other articles of clothing that are innew or almost new condition. Some of thebrands you’ll find include Louis Vuitton,Prada, Manolo Blahnik, Marc Jacobs,Jimmy Choo, Tori Burch, Coach,

One customer shows up daily to browse.Others drive over an hour every week forthe thrill of the hunt. And several flightattendants book their schedules specificallyto be in town when the store is open. Whatdo all these loyal shoppers have in

common? Return Engagement, a women’sclothing store in the Riviera Village that hasprovided resale therapy for decades.

A consignment and resale store, what

makes Return Engagement an addictivepleasure for so many is you never knowwhat you’ll find. One day it may be theperfect Louis Vuitton purse for less thanhalf the retail price. Twenty-four hours lateryou may stumble upon a pair of Vince jeansor a Prada dress selling for a fraction ofwhat you’ll find in specialty shops.

“We take in 700 new items a week sothe inventory is constantly changing,” saidAlicia Nay, who has owned ReturnEngagement for the past 22 years. “That

plus the fact that we’re very particularabout only selling items that are stylish andin excellent condition has led to a very loyalclientele. I hear all the time that customersget more compliments on the clothes theybuy here than anywhere else.”

Alicia never planned to be in theclothing business. After earning a graphicdesign degree in college she planned to goto graduate business school at USC. Shehad just taken a pre-admissions test whenshe decided to relax with a little shopping inthe Riviera Village. A chance encounterwith the owner of Return Engagement

I was so pleased at the way you handled the saleof my home of 42 years in the Hollywood Riviera.

Thank you for the professionalism you showed. Iloved the way you had the house “spruced up’ forthe sale.

As a recent widow, I was so pleased you contactedmy son, Andrew, and relieved me of a great dealof worry. Andrew is a capable businessman andspeaks highly of you too.

If we can do anything for you in any way, let usknow.

Sincerely,Marion Littlefair
