Responsible shopping at Bombshack

Bombshack Apparel is a new-and-used children's clothing boutique that opened in Rossland, B.C., on April 2, 2016. Breaking from consignment policy, owner Alicia Gray pays up front with cash or store credit for gently used children’s clothing in sizes 0 to 16. Resale is a little higher-risk for her, but less of a gamble for the people who bring items to her. Thanks to Rossland’s multinational population, Gray’s inventory includes brands from the U.K., New Zealand, South Africa, Spain and other countries. Tapping into Rossland’s developing talent, Bombshack also consigns jewelry and art made by local children.
