Everything Old is
New Again at
Riviera Resale Store
One customer shows up daily to browse.
Others drive over an hour every week for
the thrill of the hunt. And several flight
attendants book their schedules specifically
to be in town when the store is open. What
do all these loyal shoppers have in
common? Return Engagement, a womens
clothing store in the Riviera Village that has
provided resale therapy for decades.
A consignment and resale store, what

makes Return Engagement an addictive

pleasure for so many is you never know
what youll find. One day it may be the
perfect Louis Vuitton purse for less than
half the retail price. Twenty-four hours later
you may stumble upon a pair of Vince jeans
or a Prada dress selling for a fraction of
what youll find in specialty shops.
We take in 700 new items a week so
the inventory is constantly changing, said
Alicia Nay, who has owned Return
Engagement for the past 22 years. That
plus the fact that were very particular
about only selling items that are stylish and
in excellent condition has led to a very loyal
clientele. I hear all the time that customers
get more compliments on the clothes they
buy here than anywhere else.
Alicia never planned to be in the
clothing business. After earning a graphic
design degree in college she planned to go
to graduate business school at USC. She
had just taken a pre-admissions test when
she decided to relax with a little shopping in
the Riviera Village. A chance encounter
with the owner of Return Engagement

changed everything.
I was complimenting her on the
products she carried when she mentioned
the store was for sale, and it would only
take a small amount down and a monthly
payment for me to buy it, said Alicia, a
South Bay native. I was only 24 at the
time so while I was intrigued, I didnt think
I could possibly swing it. But I wrote her a
heartfelt letter, borrowed the down
payment from my parents and I havent
looked back since.
Alicias innate business sense and
inherent optimism are two big factors in
the stores success.
I still do business with dozens of
clients that have been shopping here
before I even owned Return Engagement,
says Alicia. Its a win-win for customers
whether they sell here, buy here or both.
For me, the best part is seeing a clients
eyes light up when she finds the perfect
item at a great price, and helping those
selling their clothes make some money. It
never gets old.
Return Engagement was strictly a
consignment store for years. Under that
model, customers receive 50 percent of
the selling price of their items once they
are sold. Items that dont sell after a set
time are donated or returned to the
customer. Recently Alicia introduced other
options for customers to earn money
faster. For example, they can sell their
items outright at 30 percent of the
estimated resale prices for cash on the
spot. Or they can trade their items for a 50
percent store credit based on estimated
resale prices.
Designer luxury items that are unique
and fit todays casual lifestyle are among
the most popular sellers, says Alicia. I
tell my customers that when choosing
which items to sell, the harder it is to part
with the more likely it will be profitable
because its probably something buyers
want.
Return Engagement sells dresses,
pants, shirts, skirts, coats, purses, shoes
and other articles of clothing that are in
new or almost new condition. Some of the
brands youll find include Louis Vuitton,
Prada, Manolo Blahnik, Marc Jacobs,
Jimmy Choo, Tori Burch, Coach,

Alicia has 10 employees, including

Engagement through Easter Seals

perfect employee because shes detail
oriented and is great at customer service,
said Alicia. Shes an important part of our

Another Satisfied Client

Congratulations to the

Creamery Gift Certificate:

Dear Igor,
I was so pleased at the way you handled the sale
of my home of 42 years in the Hollywood Riviera.
Thank you for the professionalism you showed. I
loved the way you had the house spruced up for
the sale.
As a recent widow, I was so pleased you contacted
my son, Andrew, and relieved me of a great deal
of worry. Andrew is a capable businessman and
speaks highly of you too.
