When Donna Holloway opened her vintage second-hand store in 2008 in Kennewick’s Marineland Village, she had no idea she would outgrow the location within eight years.

Threads Consignment Boutique moved in August to its new location in downtown Kennewick at 127 W. Kennewick Ave., and the digs are as vintage as some of the clothes and furniture featured at the store.

The 1909 brick building was originally constructed as a department store. But during the last 100-plus years, it has been home to a wide range of businesses, such as JCPenney and the Academy of Children’s Theatre, just to name a couple.

But this boutique is no ordinary vintage outlet. Holloway says the store’s inventory is a unique blend of old and new that appeals to every age group.

“We buy, consign, and exchange women’s and misses’ designer and name brand clothing and accessories,” she said. “We also carry vintage clothing and accessories. And we don’t order any of our merchandise from China. We want unique stuff that you can’t find anywhere else in the Tri-Cities.”

That unique stuff includes everything from a 1920s flawlessly preserved dress, she said, to the latest in European fashions. And you don’t need a fat wallet to shop at the store, either. Most items sell below $50 with few items priced more than $100.

“I’m super picky about what we sell in the store,” Holloway said. “Like consignment pieces, which must be higher-end items in good shape. Our new location has not only given us the extra space we need for easier shopping, but gives the store an industrial and rustic feel, along with a romantic ambiance.”

The store also features the artwork of local artisans. Holloway’s daughter Brianna Guerrero is a jewelry and fashion designer who maintains a studio on the mezzanine floor at Threads. Her company is call Fugio.

Threads plans to have events each month that will focus on fashion and the arts.

“Our specialty is having a fun and relaxing place to shop where you can get all the help you need with fashion tips, styling and finding that one-of-a-kind item you might fall in love with,” Holloway said.

The store’s Black Friday sale event will be Nov. 18-19 and Nov. 25-26 the store will celebrate Small Business Saturday. Then on Dec. 3 and 10, Threads also will participate in Historic Downtown Kennewick’s annual Little Christmas Village celebration which includes a public ice rink, hay rides, visit from Santa and music.

“We are all about supporting small business and building a community where culture is thriving,” Holloway said. “At our amazing new location we aim to help in the revitalization of downtown Kennewick. And we are very excited to have a space where we can finally hold great events like fashion shows, ladies night, live music, etc.”

Regular store hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. Hours are extended to 7 p.m. Nov. 18-19 and 25-26.
