THE MINT FASHION EXCHANGE OPENS IN SIMI VALLEY

SIMI VALLEY , October 25, 2008 – The Mint Fashion Exchange is that rare clothing store – mindful of the past, in-line with the contemporary, and energized by what we create for the future. The economically and ecologically sensible recycled fashion outlet offers designer jeans, high-end casual wear, classy everyday clothes, and interesting finds that are the hallmarks of proprietor Marie Herring’s selections. With an emphasis on natural fibers, refinement, and conscientious use, everything in the store is intended to encourage long and meaningful life.

“Bargain shopping is always in fashion, but especially during tough economic times, it’s important that the community have a vibrant resale store where customers can buy great basics and designer clothes without breaking the bank,” explains Marie. A genuine and personable entrepreneur, Marie handles transactions from a consultant’s perspective; she works with customers to find the values and styles that work for them. Clothing and accessories are carefully chosen, including a variety of sizes and prices, and Marie keeps requests from individual customers in mind as her inventory comes in. Receiving inventory by appointment, The Mint Fashion Exchange offers cash or trade credit for items customers sell to the store or consignment for more.

Marie Herring, owner and proprietor, has lived in Simi Valley for 6 years. She brings to the business many years of keen attention to people, preferences, clothing, and accessories. She is thrilled to present a responsible business model that supports the environment and community. A savvy shopper, Marie builds her collection with real people in mind and an eye on current trends. In addition, her experience growing up on farmland in the Midwest has given her an appreciation for the longevity of well-made things and the interconnectedness of materials, commodities, and community.
