Have you ever wanted to help out local charities? Just not sure how to start? Twice Loved Boutique is making it easy!

First, you start by going through your closets and your children’s closets. Take out anything that is outgrown, no longer loved or you have too many of. Bring them in to Twice Loved Boutique and tell us you want to donate these to a Charity Account.

Charity Accounts are a new feature here at Twice Loved Boutique. If you’ve never heard of charity consignment accounts before, here’s how it works:

Items are brought into the store, and when they are inventoried, they are put in just like a regular consignment account, except instead of paying the profits to the person who brought the items in, the money is donated to the assigned Charity.

Our first charity account is assigned to New Hope For Women out of Rockland, Maine. New Hope For Women is an organization dedicated to helping victims of Domestic, dating, and elder abuse victims in Waldo, Knox and Lincoln counties. They have a 24 hour crisis hotline which can be reached at 1-800-522-3304 if you or someone you know is a victim of abuse and needs help.

If you have a current consignment account at Twice Loved Boutique and would like us to transfer any of your items over to the New Hope for Women account, or if you would like to donate items to be put on this account, please give us a call at 207-722-3519.

If you’re getting the bug to do any of that Post-Holiday, Pre-Spring Cleaning, let us help!

We are preparing some updates for our store for our upcoming re-opening in May, including the addition of MORE racks (increased selling space and more specific organization to make shopping even easier for our awesome customers!). We are looking for fresh items to add to our inventory, new consignment accounts to be a bit more specific. Now typically our consignment accounts run for about 90 days (3 months from the date you bring your items in) but because we are closed for the time being, new accounts (and any items that have been brought in since November) will be extended, to begin on May 1st when we re-open, and will end August 1st, just in time to refresh for back to school and cooler weather sales!

Items we are looking for on Consignment for the summer:

• Girls and Boys school clothes
• Mens clothing of all sizes
• Maternity clothing
• Shoes
• Vintage and unique pieces

We may be looking for more as the time to re-open approaches, and we will know more once we have finished taking inventory and all of that business, so stay tuned

We also receive questions from people occasionally about whether or not we take donations. The answer is YES, of course we do! We will take nearly anything, but hope that our wonderful suppliers will take into consideration current fashions and things people most likely just will not want. Keep it clean and neat and no bags please!
