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.
