On 86 Street in northwest Edmonton, at 5212 86 St NW, My Favorite Aunt’s has been operating as a consignment boutique since 1979, a run long enough that the shop describes itself as one of the city’s very first consignment stores, predating the current wave of resale popularity by decades. The business occupies more than 6,000 square feet, a scale that lets it carry considerably more depth than a typical small consignment shop, spanning current brand name womens fashion alongside a substantial home decor section, all offered at a fraction of original retail pricing. That combination, clothing and home goods under one roof, means a single visit can turn into both a wardrobe refresh and a living room update, which is part of why the shop has kept a loyal following across multiple generations of Edmonton shoppers. The store keeps a fairly specific weekly rhythm, open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, staying open later on Thursdays until 8 in the evening, and closing entirely on Sundays and Mondays, a schedule worth noting before making a special trip. For anyone interested in consigning rather than just buying, the shop accepts items by scheduled drop off appointment any day from Tuesday through Saturday, a structured intake process that helps the team manage the volume of current season clothing and decor pieces coming in from the community. The owners describe their own motivation simply, saying they love fashion, and frame the shop’s value proposition around a three part promise: shoppers save money buying secondhand, consignors make money selling clothing they no longer wear, and the whole cycle leaves less textile waste behind in area landfills. That environmental angle has become increasingly relevant as fast fashion’s waste footprint draws more scrutiny, positioning a decades old consignment shop like this one as an early, low profile example of circular fashion principles long before the phrase became a marketing trend. Because the shop has operated continuously since the late 1970s, it has outlasted countless newer resale concepts and fast fashion retailers that have opened and closed in Edmonton over the same stretch of time, a longevity that speaks to a loyal consignor and customer base built on trust in pricing and item quality. Shoppers hunting for name brand clothing without paying full retail, or Edmonton residents looking to turn a closet clean out into store credit or cash, will find a consignment model here that has already been refined over more than four decades of operation. My Favorite Aunt’s is a longtime Edmonton consignment boutique on 86 Street offering current brand name fashion and home decor across more than 6,000 square feet, run continuously since 1979 as one of the city’s original consignment stores.
