Women's Resale Clothing Store Opens in Eagle Rock

Focused around recycling, 'the Xchange' is a one-shop stop for just about everything a lady might need to wear on a daily basis.

Ladies—and gentlemen—please note: There’s a new women’s resale clothing store in Eagle Rock, a one-of-a-kind retail venue in the neighborhood.

Called “the Xchange,” the store is located right next to the and trades, buys and sells everything from clothes, jewelry and handbags to shoes, sunglasses and hats.

The store opened last Friday, March 23, without any fanfare or advertising. It replaces a construction contractors' licensing school—and the space is totally redone for the purposes of a retail space.

Located on 1741 Colorado Blvd., the idea behind the Xchange is to recycle goods—“you know, the whole green concept,” said co-owner Marissa Larry. “We’re trying to save the Earth by recycling.”

She added: “Instead of going out and buying new clothes, you can buy gently worn clothes.”
