If you like having fun while you're shopping you'll love the “new’
Luxury Rags on Queens. Owners Joyce & Colette are very chatty
and the first to offer you a fresh brewed cup of coffee in a real
China cup.

Their idea was to create a fashion store with reasonable prices
so combining new merchandise with pre-owned clothes seamed
the logical choice. If these first 3 weeks of business are any
indication Luxury Rags has found the winning combination.

Joyce has worked in retail on the North Shore for the last 10
years.
Colette raised 2 daughters and calls herseif. a second hand
rose. She's hoping to add wardrobe planning and in-home
consultation to this new business. Colette has conducted
corporate fashion workshaps and recoynizes a need for this
service.

The owo owners are also very concerned about the
environment. New purchases are placed in paper bags and all the
store fixtures have been pre-owned. Being long term North Shore
residents “Edgemont Village already feels like home” said the
pareners.
