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.

Just like YWCA Shop for Good, our resale boutique in Wilmette, 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.

We sell mid to high end women’s designer clothing, outerwear, shoes, boots, purses, jewelry, and accessories. We get new consignments weekly, and are continuously restocking with up-to-the minute prestige-label clothing and accessories in excellent condition. We often have brand-new items with manufacturers’ and store tags still attached.

Store hours:

YWCA Crowded Closet is open for shopping:

  • Tuesday – Thursday, 12 pm – 5 pm
  • Friday and Saturday, 10 am – 5 pm
  • Closed Sunday and Monday
