Designer Consigner is a big part of the reason why the Lehigh Valley loves luxury. Alexandra Fly opened the luxury consignment boutique with a clear vision: bring the kind of curated, high end shopping experience you would expect in New York or Philadelphia to the heart of the Valley.
Curating Something Special
Designer Consigner is not your average consignment shop. Walk through the door and you will find authenticated Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, and Prada alongside carefully selected contemporary brands, all displayed in a boutique setting that feels more like a designer showroom than a secondhand store. Alexandra personally oversees the authentication and curation process, ensuring that every piece on the floor meets her standards.
That attention to quality has earned the shop a loyal following that extends well beyond the Lehigh Valley. Shoppers drive from Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York to browse the racks, and the store's social media presence has turned it into a regional destination. Alexandra and her team regularly post new arrivals, and pieces often sell within hours of being listed.
From Passion to Business
Alexandra's path to opening Designer Consigner was driven by her own love of fashion and a keen eye for opportunity. She recognized that the Lehigh Valley had a growing population of style conscious consumers who wanted access to luxury brands without the full retail price tag, and who also wanted to shop more sustainably. Consignment checks both boxes, and Alexandra built a business model that makes luxury accessible while giving sellers a way to recirculate pieces they no longer wear.
The consignment model also means that the inventory is constantly changing, which keeps customers coming back. Regular shoppers know to check in frequently because the Hermes scarf or the barely worn pair of Louboutins that was not there on Tuesday might show up on Thursday. That treasure hunt element is part of what makes the store so addictive for its clientele.
A North Side Anchor
Beyond the business itself, Alexandra has become an important part of the North Side's retail renaissance. She is active in the local business community and has helped draw foot traffic to the neighborhood that benefits surrounding shops and restaurants. When customers come to Designer Consigner, they often end up exploring the rest of Main Street, grabbing lunch, or ducking into neighboring boutiques.
Alexandra also supports local events and has hosted in store pop ups and styling events that bring the community together around fashion. For consignors, she has created a seamless process that makes it easy to bring in pieces and earn money from items that were collecting dust in closets.
In a Valley that is increasingly putting itself on the map for independent retail, Alexandra Fly and Designer Consigner represent exactly the kind of entrepreneurial spirit that makes the Lehigh Valley's shopping scene worth paying attention to. She took a concept, executed it with impeccable taste, and built something that people genuinely love. That is the definition of a Main Street success story.
