About Us

Labels Consignment first opened on January 9, 2004, in a cozy shop on Ellis Street. Twenty years later and with two locations to serve Whatcom County, we fill over 9,000 square feet with affordable, on-trend and designer items!

Our 50,000+ consignors appreciate our honest consignment, fair prices, and welcoming environment. Labels is Bellingham’s premier women’s clothing store, where locals and visitors can enjoy the “thrill of thrifting” at prices everyone can afford.

When our second location on Northwest Avenue opened up in February of 2012, we expanded our inventory and added home decor to the mix. Our housewares section full of modern, clean and functional household items has become wildly popular.

Our inventory changes daily with the non-stop drop-offs. Bring in your cute, clean, and current items for us to take a look at - no appointments needed! You can opt to take back your items once we search through them or we can donate your items to one of our four local nonprofit partners.  Please keep in mind that intake closes an hour before closing.
