Rhea Lana's seasonal consignment events unite customers with an extensive orchestration of name-brand children's, juniors', and maternity items. During each apparel exposition, gently used clothing items, furniture, and toys greet customers at up to 70% off their retail price. Items sold at Rhea Lana's are generally in excellent condition and each must pass a thorough inspection process, complete with a written exam and obstacle course. Clothing items ($3+) include quality body banners by manufacturers such as Gymboree, Ralph Lauren, and Gap. While exploring the labyrinth of back-to-school vestments, parents will also find a vast collection of postnatal necessities such as City Trend strollers ($59+) and Baby Bjorn carriers ($15+). Books, sporting goods, and DVDs also adorn the events, which will be held regardless of outdoor or indoor weather conditions. Parking and admission to the event is free.
