Retail · Hanwell

Second Showing Boutique is a women's consignment shop at 1299 Hanwell Road on Fredericton's south side, and it has been at this for more than 25 years. The store calls itself an uptown boutique with a downtown vibe, and the format backs that up: instead of thrift-store jumble, the floor is a curated selection of good-quality secondhand clothing, footwear, purses, coats, and accessories, priced fairly and organized like a regular boutique. Shoppers who review the store repeatedly mention the same things: quality pieces at sensible prices, helpful staff, and an owner known for kindness and for treating her consignors well, which keeps good inventory flowing in. That consignor relationship is the engine of the place; if your closet is full of well-kept clothing you no longer wear, this is one of the established places in Fredericton to consign it, with an online portal for consignors to track their accounts. The shop moved online in 2020 as well, so a couple hundred items are browsable and shippable through its web store, with shipping included on orders over $150, though the in-store selection is far larger than what makes it to the website. One extra worth knowing about: the boutique offers private shopping events for groups of up to ten, which works well for a friends' night or a small celebration. If you are hunting for a specific size or category, inventory turns over constantly, so stopping in regularly beats one big visit.
