The Sensible Threadz’ philosophy is all about maintaining a “Win-Win Community Approach for Everyone.”
During this trying economic time period Sensible Threadz has also assisted its’ customers in saving substantial clothing costs by allowing them to bring in their used private label clothing items that they have and they can either receive cash or a double value in-store credit to apply to other items in the store. Some customers have actually walked out of the store paying absolutely nothing for their items by taking advantage of this in-store concept. The store also carries over 15 different local artisan hand-made and custom made accessory items. This allows members of our community to benefit by having their items viewed locally and gives them an opportunity to have a supplementary income.
