When the local ladies-who-lunch tire of their designer threads, they often drop them off at this nonprofit consignment store that benefits a local shelter for abused women and children. So while you're paying cut-rate prices for their Armani, Escada, and Gucci castoffs, you can feel good about your spending spree, knowing you're helping a worthy cause.
