Junk Couture opens in Hamilton Square

Saginaw Township Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief

A women’s new and resale boutique, Junk Couture is an elegant upgrade from the usual resale shop. Owner Eric (E.J.) Banning has used his background in fashion wardrobe and merchandising to present an appealing display of designer and custom created clothing, shoes, purses, and accessories.

Upon first walking in the door, Junk Couture appears to be a fashionable women’s clothing boutique, tastefully decorated for a warm and inviting atmosphere. Items for sale are in excellent condition with well-known brand names ranging from Aeropostle to Versace.

Banning’s idea was to provide a fun atmosphere for people to come in, and if needed, get personal assistance in finding the right clothes. “When something looks great and fits the way it’s supposed to, you feel good about yourself,” says Banning. “It helps boost confidence.”

Junk Couture will be sponsoring two special events this month. On Saturday, December 18, there will be a jewelry show featuring the CiCi Carter Collection, from Noon to 6:00 p.m. There will also be a free clothing give-away at the end of December, benefitting women and teens in need (call for date and time). Donations will be accepted until the 20th.

Banning, along with his business partner, Susan Quinn, are strong believers in supporting the local economy, co-networking with other business owners like Shawna Davison of Davison Interior Designs.

Junk Couture is also working on a “recycled junk” line of clothing, custom painted by local artist Eric Schantz. The concept is to turn used clothing items into wearable works of art. Finished items can be purchased at the shop, or you can bring in your own and have it “custom junked” by the Couture Crew.

Future plans include a salon, which will offer services such as hairstyling, permanent makeup, manicures, and pedicures.

Located in Hamilton Square, 318 S. Hamilton St., Suite 4, in Saginaw (across from General Top & Trim), Junk Couture offers a 50/50 consignment, and accepts Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. They also have gift certificates available, perfect for the holiday season.

Business hours are Tuesday through Thursday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. To consign your designer items, or to learn more about what Junk Couture has to offer, call (989) 799-5555.
