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.
