YWCA Crowded Closet
For over 40 years, the Crowded Closet consignment shop has been a staple in our North Shore community and shopping destination for mid to high end women’s designer clothing.
YWCA Evanston/North Shore is now honored to have the opportunity to steward Crowded Closet’s legacy into the future. We’re also looking forward to enabling synergy between our two shops, Crowded Closet and YWCA Shop for Good in Wilmette.
Just like YWCA Shop for Good, 100% of profits from Crowded Closet support YWCA’s domestic violence and economic advancement programs, helping hundreds of women and children throughout northeastern Cook County.
Shopping options
- Shop in the store (see current store hours below): we’re at 40% capacity as mandated by new mitigation plan and we’re disinfecting surfaces with frequency.
- Shop online from the safety of your home: we’re constantly adding new items from both YWCA Crowded and YWCA Shop for Good to our website at ywca-shop-for-good.myshopify.com.
- Find something you like online? You can have it shipped or pick it up curbside.
