The Garb Collection puts a modern, tech-forward spin on consignment shopping at 1014 Asbury Avenue in Ocean City, New Jersey, a barrier-island beach town in Cape May County known for its family-friendly boardwalk. Rather than the traditional consignment model, where a shop decides what to accept and sets its own prices, The Garb Collection rents individual booth space to sellers who stock and style their own displays, choose which of their clothing and accessories to bring in, and set their own prices without facing the item-by-item rejections common at conventional consignment counters. That booth-rental structure gives the sales floor a rotating, boutique feel, since dozens of individual sellers are effectively curating their own micro-shops within the larger store rather than a single buyer dictating the whole inventory. Sellers benefit from a commission structure that starts around 40 percent and can climb as high as 66 percent depending on sales performance, along with a real-time dashboard that lets them track how their booth is performing without having to call or visit in person. Merchandise sells through two channels simultaneously, in the physical Ocean City storefront and online, so a piece can find a buyer whether they’re walking Asbury Avenue in person or browsing from somewhere else entirely. The store keeps approachable hours for a shore-town shopping trip, open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm, making it easy to work into a beach-day itinerary or a weekend visit to Ocean City’s shopping district. Online shoppers who can’t make it to Asbury Avenue in person can still take advantage of flat-rate six-dollar shipping or opt for in-store pickup instead. The brand also builds a social shopping element into its calendar, hosting live shopping events on Instagram every other Thursday evening at 7:30, where new arrivals get shown off in real time to followers before or alongside their debut on the sales floor. The Garb Collection sums up its own philosophy with a tagline about offering more style and less waste, reflecting a broader push toward secondhand shopping as a sustainable alternative to buying new. The Ocean City shop isn’t the brand’s only location either; a sister store operates at 823 Haddon Avenue in Collingswood, New Jersey, giving the concept a foothold in both a shore town and a South Jersey suburb closer to Philadelphia. For sellers, the appeal is control: choosing what to list, pricing it themselves, and watching performance data roll in without middleman gatekeeping. For buyers, the appeal is variety: since inventory turns over booth by booth rather than through a single centralized buyer, the racks reflect dozens of individual tastes rather than one shop’s curation. The Garb Collection is a booth-rental consignment boutique at 1014 Asbury Avenue in Ocean City, New Jersey, where independent sellers stock, price, and track their own secondhand clothing and accessories sold both in-store and online.
