Refashion has been consigning the wadrobe of Rochesters' most fashionable women since 1996. Each day, 50-60 consigners flock to Refashion with hundreds of items to consign.

The beginnings

Sisters and entrepreneurs Kristie Moore and Cynthia Hughes opened Refashion Consigned Clothing in September of 1996. With past experience in retail and consignment industries, they blended their knowledge of current fashion with an eye for selecting top notch apparel and accessories for the discriminating shopper.

Expansion

Because of rapid growth, Refashion expanded three times within their original space over the course of four years. With the goal of expanding into consigned furniture, a second location with more space was needed. In October, of 2000, Refashion launched Refurnish Consigned Home Furnishings, specializing in better quality consigned furniture and accessories. Shortly after opening Refurnish, clothing and furniture were merged together to form one large 5300 sq. ft. consignment "Super Store", now renamed Refashion Consigned Furniture & Clothing.

Introducing 'ReArrange'

With a passion for interior design and years of experience creating store displays and room vignettes their next expansion into an Interior Arranging Service was a natural fit for the sisters and the business. Hughes was professionally trained and is a graduate candidate member of the Interior Arrangement and Design Association (IADA). In January of 2003 Rearrange Home Interior Arranging was added to the list of services available through Refashion.

In the spring and summer of 2003 Hughes and Moore produced 2 redesign episodes with HGTV's syndicated show Decorating Cents. The redesign segments will be broadcast in the 2003 Fall season of Decorating Cents.

Refashion today

In 2004 Kristie Moore retired from Refashion and co-founder and owner Cynthia Hughes continued the foundation that has made Refashion famous for its quality and value. Growth has been based on Refashion's commitment to providing quality products and services, at reasonable prices with personal service in a fun and visually appealing atmosphere.
