WEST PALM BEACH, FL – Season 2 Consign, the leading authenticated pre-owned luxury handbag and accessories company, has announced their interest in opening new locations in the vibrant city of Chicago for the first time. The innovative brand stands as the world’s first and only franchise opportunity of its kind, featuring a centralized e-commerce system and pioneering the modernization of luxury shopping online. Headquartered in West Palm Beach, FL, Season 2 Consign is looking to expand their presence in the Windy City. With an already established consumer base in the area, sisters and brand co-founders Monica Tapia-Mularski and Erika Tapia Schrieber are looking to build upon this momentum and are actively seeking franchise partners in Chicago to help bring sustainable luxury retail options to the city.

In recent years, Chicago has seen a rise in consignment stores, with the city ranking as the 5th best for thrifting and 4th for consignment shops in the nation. This surge reflects an increasing interest in sustainable fashion among Chicago residents. Despite being one of the most prominent metropolitan cities in the USA, Chicago often doesn’t receive due recognition as a fashion hub. However, the city is steadily emerging as a fashion Mecca, making significant strides towards establishing itself as the fashion capital of the Midwest.

“We established our brand with the mission of fostering inclusivity, accessibility, and sustainability in luxury fashion,” said Tapia-Mularski. “The overwhelming support we’ve received from the Chicago community through our virtual showrooms reaffirms the demand and interest for our values in the city. Chicago perfectly embodies our core principles, and we’re excited to collaborate with partners who share our vision as we strive to bring Season 2 to the Windy City.”

Founded in 2020, Season 2 Consign is a 100% female-owned non-traditional retailer, offering high-quality, authentic luxury handbags and accessories to clients worldwide. Maintaining showrooms nationwide, the brand provides a centralized marketplace to consign and sell luxury handbags from renowned brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Gucci, Fendi, and many more, placing an emphasis on sustainability and accessibility in the luxury space. Sisters and co-founders Erika Tapia Schrieber and Monica Tapia-Mularski bring over 15 years of expertise in the luxury handbag resale industry. Recognizing a significant gap in the market, the sisters created a modern and streamlined consignment model that offers an elevated aesthetic and exceptional customer service.

“At Season 2 Consign, our aim extends beyond mere expansion; we prioritize forging meaningful relationships with the communities we serve, introducing a sustainable approach to luxury retail access,” said Tapia Schrieber. “As Chicago evolves into the fashion capital of the Midwest, it presents an exciting yet untapped market for us. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to foster new relationships in yet another prominent fashion hub in the U.S.”

The luxury resale industry has been experiencing remarkable growth in recent years, and is expected to reach a market size of 52 billion US dollars by 2026, with a forecasted compound annual growth rate of 9.6 percent. Season 2 Consign is actively seeking franchise partners who are hardworking, sales-oriented, and possess backgrounds in fashion or business and a passion for interacting with their customers on social media. Together with their centralized e-commerce system, Season 2 Consign offers a unique franchise model that enables franchisees to market their exciting products without the burden of traditional retail store costs, allowing them to reach and engage with thousands of potential customers in real-time and eliminating the need to rely on foot traffic. Offering an easy-to-follow and scalable business model, franchisees will benefit from substantial growth and profitability potential, accessing training and resources to expedite business growth with minimal risk and allowing great work-life balance. The initial investment to open a Season 2 Consign is $178,284 – $274,034, with start-up costs varying based on location.
