Dandelion Kids store

A new children’s clothing consignment shop has opened at 2519 W. Maple Road, Bloomfield Township. The idea for Dandelion Kids sprouted from entrepreneur, mom and store owner Elizabeth Cunningham’s vision to design a bright, clean and organized kid’s resale boutique. “There really wasn’t another shop like this in the area. I feel like there was a lot of waste in the clothing industry and this is a way to reuse clothing. It’s also a great way for people to earn a couple bucks by cleaning out their closets, and on the buying side, it’s a way for people to get a great wardrobe at a reasonable price,” said Cunningham. Dandelion Kids provides consignees and savvy shoppers a welcoming environment with two private fitting rooms and an area for kids to play while their adult shops. The store showcases a curated selection of new-with-tag to previously loved merchandise featuring current styles from select high quality brands. Some of the brands available at Dandelion Kids include Hanna Andersson, Janie and Jack, Patagonia, Vineyard Vines, Polo Ralph Lauren, J. Crew and Lilly Pulitzer. The store provides a large selection of clothing and accessories for babies, toddlers, children and teens, with new inventory arriving daily. All new consignors must complete an online registration and an online consignment agreement prior to scheduling a consignment appointment. All appointments are scheduled online. Proceeds are 30 percent of the final net sales price. The store offers a 10 percent premium on the cash value of the proceeds if the consignors choose to receive store credit. The store is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Saturday. More information on consigning is available online at dandelionkids.shop.
