Tucked into the Parleys Way corridor of Salt Lake City, Name Droppers is the outlet location of one of Utah’s longest-running upscale resale boutiques, sitting at 2350 E Parleys Way near the 2100 South intersection, not far from Sugar House and the mouth of Parleys Canyon. The shop is a sister location to Name Droppers’ flagship store on Highland Drive, and it exists specifically to move gently used and new-with-tags designer inventory once it has had its run on the main sales floor, which means shoppers walking in the door are hunting for markdowns on pieces that were already priced well below retail to begin with. Racks rotate through women’s clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry, and accessories from recognizable names in fashion, the kind of labels that typically carry three- and four-figure price tags new but show up here at a fraction of the cost because the store buys and sells pre-owned and overstocked goods rather than taking items on straight consignment.
What sets the outlet apart from a typical thrift or consignment shop is the curation. Staff are known locally for being selective about what makes it onto the floor, so the mix stays wearable and current rather than picked-over. The store also runs a recurring clearance push during the last full weekend of every month, when outlet prices get cut further, turning already discounted designer finds into genuine bargains. Regulars describe stumbling onto luxury coats, bags, and shoes priced at a small fraction of their original retail tags, the sort of find that keeps resale shoppers coming back to check the racks on a regular rotation rather than a one-time visit.
For a neighborhood that sits between Sugar House’s boutique row and the mouth of Parleys Canyon, the outlet gives East Salt Lake City shoppers a nearby option for secondhand luxury without crossing town to the Highland Drive store. It fits into a broader resale culture that has grown throughout Salt Lake City, where budget-minded shoppers and sustainability-minded fashion fans alike have turned to consignment and resale boutiques instead of buying new. Because the inventory is pre-owned or overstocked designer merchandise rather than fast fashion, shopping here also functions as a small act of sustainability, keeping well-made pieces circulating instead of ending up in a landfill while giving buyers access to brands that would otherwise sit outside their budget.
The two-location model, with the Highland Drive store serving as the primary boutique and the Parleys Way address functioning as the value-priced overflow, means inventory keeps moving and turning over, so frequent visits tend to turn up something new. Shoppers looking for a going-out bag, a work-ready blazer, or a pair of designer heels without paying department store prices can expect the selection to shift week to week as new consignment and overstock pieces arrive from the main store. It is a model built around the idea that quality designer goods deserve a second owner rather than a discount rack at a big-box retailer, and the monthly clearance weekends give bargain hunters an extra incentive to check back often.
Name Droppers’ Parleys Way outlet is Salt Lake City’s go-to spot for finding authenticated designer clothing, handbags, shoes, and jewelry at outlet prices, where monthly clearance weekends push already-discounted luxury finds even lower.
