Smith and Co. Consignment sits at 1515 Union Cross Road in Kernersville, the Triad town wedged between Winston-Salem and Greensboro that has become a bedroom community for both cities while still holding onto its own small-town main street identity. The shop styles itself as a haven for discerning shoppers, a phrase that points to its guiding philosophy: rather than accepting every item offered, the store curates what makes it onto the sales floor, aiming to keep the selection tighter and higher-quality than a typical drop-off consignment shop.
That curation shows up across two very different product lines under one roof. On the furniture and home side, shoppers find furniture, antiques, collectibles, housewares, and home office pieces, giving the store a range that covers everything from a statement armchair to smaller decor accents for a shelf or mantel. On the apparel side, the shop carries women’s clothing and accessories in real depth, including tops, dresses, pants, and outerwear, plus lingerie, jewelry, and shoes, meaning a single visit can turn into both a home decor errand and a wardrobe-refresh trip without a second stop across town.
The store keeps a tight, predictable schedule, open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sunday and Monday, a rhythm that suits a curated consignment business more interested in careful intake and presentation than long retail hours. Consigning here runs through a formal process, with a written contract and a published FAQ addressing the questions most first-time consignors have about pricing, payout timing, and what the store will and will not accept, a level of documentation that goes beyond the handshake-deal approach some smaller consignment shops still use.
One detail that sets Smith and Co. apart from a purely transactional resale shop is its ongoing relationship with regular customers: the business runs a monthly drawing offering fifty dollars in store credit to newsletter subscribers, a small but recurring incentive that rewards people for staying engaged with the shop between visits rather than only when they happen to walk in. Combined with the store’s emphasis on sustainability and ethical consumption through resale, the drawing reflects a business built around repeat relationships rather than one-off sales, treating consignors and shoppers alike as part of an ongoing community rather than a single transaction.
For Kernersville and greater Triad shoppers looking for a mid-point between a big general antique mall and a narrow single-category boutique, Smith and Co. Consignment offers both furnished-home pieces and a genuinely deep women’s clothing selection under strict curation standards, all within a compact Union Cross Road storefront. Whether the goal is finding a piece of furniture with some age and character to it, adding to a jewelry collection, or refreshing a closet with pre-loved apparel that has already been vetted for quality, the shop’s curated approach means less sifting through low-quality inventory than a typical thrift store requires. Smith and Co. Consignment is, in short, a curated Kernersville consignment shop pairing quality furniture, antiques, and home decor with a deep selection of women’s clothing and accessories, run for shoppers who would rather browse a tightly edited floor than an unsorted warehouse.
