Co-owned by fiber artist Kayd Price and entrepreneur Arrica Wallace, Bargain Boutique is a local clothing store offering booth rentals for artisans, vendors, and consigners. Curated with a mix of vintage, handcrafted, and second-hand items, the boutique’s vibrant community of artisans and thrifters offers a welcome alternative to fast fashion. “I’m so grateful to be part of something that aligns with my morals,” shares Kayd.
The boutique is deeply invested in the community, offering a platform for 30 local artists to sell their wares, with artists keeping 70-80% of each sale. Kayd says, “When you shop here, you’re investing not only in a small, woman-owned business, but in your neighbor.”
Embrace 2024 Fashion Trends at Bargain Boutique
As the seasons change, it’s a good time to take stock of your existing wardrobe, replacing worn out items or filling in missing pieces. Shopping at Bargain Boutique means that you can experiment with new styles without stretching your budget.
Crochet: Bargain Boutique co-owner Kayd is dropping a new line of purple and silver hand crocheted items this fall, perfect for cheering on the Cats on game day.
Grandpa Chic: Look for cozy cardigans, tweed top coats, and pleated trousers. The boutique's men's section has greatly expanded since its founding.
Western Chic: Embrace western style with cowboy boots, fringe accessories, denim items, and statement belts.
Polished Preppy: Nail this classic aesthetic with crisp button downs, K-State polos, fitted blazers, and traditional patterns, such as plaid and stripes.
Quiet Luxury: This enduring trend is all about high-quality materials and tailoring without visible branding. Thrifted clothes usually do not fit perfectly, but simple alterations, like hemming pants, taking in a waist, or shortening sleeves, can make a garment feel custom-made.
Sustainability is one trend that never goes out of style. Bargain Boutique offers the perfect opportunity to elevate your style, reduce fast fashion waste, and support local artisans.
