Unlike secondhand clothes, secondhand fruit is useless thanks to an overabundance of juggle wounds. Enjoy secondhand products untainted by clowns with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $40 worth of preowned designer clothes and accessories at Women's Closet Exchange on Gravois Road.

Women's Closet Exchange's handpicked selection of pristine lady things has earned it recognition from piles of fashionable females, as well as St. Louis Woman Magazine. Lightly worn clothes that look heavily unworn fill the boutique's bright interior, with many bearing designer labels such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Coach, Dolce & Gabbana, and Juicy Couture. Due to the nature of the business, the inventory is in constant flux—questing shoppers never know what gems they might unearth from a rack, a shelf, or the diamond mines beneath the store. On any given day, customers might find a Tory Burch tunic for $59, a BCBG Max Azria dress for $38, or some True Religion jeans for $49.

Human filters with a skilled eye give prospective goods a careful inspection before OK'ing the best for sale, so only the cleanest, most contemporary, toppest-notch of merchandise makes it to the floor. Discovering your new favorite garment is half the fun of shopping at Women's Closet Exchange; the other half is playing Ghost in the Graveyard among the racks, so bring along a few finery-famished friends.

• This is a great consignment store if you are looking for high end, professional clothing. The times I have shopped there, I never saw clothes that looked worn. – Sarah S., Insider Pages
