Pay The Rent or Buy Manolos? With Afterwards, a Diva Does Both!
Shoes – Dolce, Prada… MANOLOS – hardly worn and starting at $100. Need we say more? We will.
Welcome to Afterwards, a high-end consignment store with skin in the game to sell Diva-worthy garb; just sneak a peep at its clientele. Browse designer handbags, clothing and accessories (furniture, too) to your coveting heart’s content; they’re all one third to half of current retail.
True, other “already loved” locations may be on the short side of service. But Afterwards’ employees are so good, most average ten years in tenure. They remember not only your name, but that of your pooch… and your man. After all, Afterwards sells upscale fashion for men, too. Stop by this weekend for a storewide sale, and receive an extra 20% off with a copy of this column.
To be clear, Afterwards can be expensive – it’s not a place you’ll score five outfits for $50 small ones. But it is somewhere you’ll find a 20’s-inspired beaded silk Chanel for $2k less than at Sak’s. Deals abound, but Chanel is still Chanel. Never fret, frugalista. Sometimes they come down in price. Good things come to those who ask.
Beg, barter, buy and borrow like a Diva!
Afterwards, 1159 El Camino in Menlo Park, 650-324-2377



Carrie Bradshaw’s savior!
I heart Afterwards. Prob 2/3rds of my closet is from there!
Afterwards is an incredible little shop. They have an attached home store as well, with some of the most beautiful pieces you’ll ever see. Definitely worth regular visits.
Hello new shoes! Thanks for the heads up…I plan to do a pre-scope today!!! Sounds like the perfect excuse to upgrade my black heals.
