About Us

The Turnabout Shoppe

was founded in 1991 by Elaine Sugarman and Herb Kutzman and is expressly focused on the sale of women's clothing and accessories from the world's finest designers at incredibly low prices. The shop is said to be one of the finest shops of its kind in America, selling both new (from stores) and gently worn items (from consignors).

The Turnabout Shoppe is located in a charming antique wood frame house, built in 1869, in downtown Wellesley, Massachusetts, an affluent suburb of Boston.
The Turnabout Shoppe opened its doors in 1991. Ever since, we have seen thousands of pieces, most of which, however, don't make it on to our racks. We inspect our consignments with an exacting eye and take in only the best.
On any given day, we carry clothing and accessories from Chanel, Hermes, Giorgio Armani, and Prada. You will also find the following designers:

Gucci Lanvin Etro Michael Kors
Escada Burberry Versace Donna Karan
Dolce & Gabbana Reem Acra Calvin Klein Nina Ricci
Chloe Valentino Dries Van Noten Badgley Mischka
Christian Dior Stella McCartney Zac Posen Ralph Lauren
Max Mara Narciso Rodriguez Anya Hindmarch  
Moschino Jil Sander Brunello Cucinelli

As with our clothing lines, our accessories are just as varied, designed to give you a complete look – at a very reasonable price. Our accessories range from shoes, handbags, and hats to scarves and costume jewelry. Just about anything to complete that special outfit.
