Ventura County residents have a new opportunity to save a mint while refreshing their wardrobes at Simi Valley’s new eco-minded buy-sell-trade clothing store for women, men and juniors.

SIMI VALLEY, CA – The Mint Fashion Exchange is that rare clothing store – mindful of the past, in-line with the contemporary, and energized by what we create for the future.

Proprietor Marie Herring’s selections emphasize natural fibers, refinement, and conscientious use; everything in the store is intended to encourage long and meaningful life.

“Finding good deals is always in fashion, and especially during tough economic times it’s important that the community have a vibrant resale store where customers can buy great essentials and designer clothes without breaking the bank,” explains Marie. A genuine and personable entrepreneur, Marie handles transactions from a consultant’s perspective; she works with customers to find the values and styles that work for them. Clothing and accessories are carefully chosen, including a variety of sizes and prices, and Marie keeps requests from individual customers in mind as her inventory comes in.

Marie Herring, owner and proprietor, has lived in Simi Valley for 6 years. She brings to the business many years of keen attention to people, preferences, clothing, and accessories. She is thrilled to present a responsible business model that supports the environment and community. A savvy shopper, Marie builds her collection with real people in mind and an eye on current trends.
