Pre-Loved Designer Fashion by the Sea!
the best little boutique in Sumner for 30 years
More than a Second-Hand Clothing Store
Time & Time Again and its owner Ali are as local to Sumner as the Scarborough Clock Tower and as popular as a destination. With a reputation for high-quality garments and excellent customer service, Time & Time Again has been a fixture for 30 years.
Staying true to her original ethos to provide affordable, second-hand designer clothes and accessories, Ali still gets a thrill from helping customers find a bargain that will last the test of time.
“I'm a firm believer that there is already more than enough clothes in the world, so why would you buy brand new? In a world awash with cheap, disposable poorly designed fast fashion, there is real joy in finding stylish quality designer clothing at a fraction of the cost,” says Ali.
It’s only right and responsible then, to re-circulate, re-wear and repair what already exists she says. “There’s plenty of excellent clothing sitting idle in wardrobes everywhere. So, let's get them out and re-circulating ladies.”
