New to downtown Drayton, The Family Clothes Line recently threw open its doors at 24 Wellington Street. Owner Andria West, who describes herself as a “mompreneur” is excited about her new business venture.
West’s vision for her business is to be the “go to” shop for new, pre-loved and consignment, seasonal apparel for area families. As a mother of two small children, West began searching for an opportunity to generate an income for her family while still being the primary caregiver for her children. Her first opportunity came through Bonita Boutique, which spring-boarded her to launch The Family Clothes Line. The store specializes in high quality brand name consignment clothing which in turn gives families an opportunity to profit from their gently-loved clothing. West offers a wide variety of boys and girls newborn sizing to size 16, women’s sizing: 0-Plus, as well as a men’s section, making The Family Clothes Line a very economical place to shop. West admits consignment can be challenging in terms of finding people willing to consign their clothing, but encourages them to give it a try. “It’s a great way to finance your new wardrobe.” The store also features locally hand crafted items, partnering with other “mompreneurs.” There is such a great selection of previously-loved clothing as well as an ever-evolving selection of new items such as: handcrafted soaps, pillowcase dresses, children’s baking aprons, tutus and hair accessories. West is always looking for creative new products to feature and invites local crafters and seamstresses to visit.
The Family Clothes Line prides itself on providing a family friendly atmosphere. In keeping with this goal the store also features a play area so that parents can relax and shop while their children are entertained.
Be sure to check in weekly as new quality items are always arriving. Great merchandise doesn’t stay around too long but The Family Clothes Line hopes their customers do.
