Current Boutique | Designer Consignment Shop

Happy hour just got a whole lot happier in Old Town. Current Boutique is hosting a free Sip &amp; Shop on Friday, July 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. at its King Street boutique — a summer evening of complimentary refreshments, personal styling, and luxury consignment shopping.
Part of the boutique's complimentary Styling Series, the event invites guests to unwind after work, browse fresh summer arrivals featuring designer and contemporary brands at consignment prices, and get one-on-one styling advice from the Current Boutique team. Whether you're building a vacation wardrobe, searching for a wedding-season statement piece, or simply looking for a fun Friday night out in Old Town, all are welcome — and friends are encouraged.
Current Boutique has served the DC Metro area for nearly 20 years, with luxury consignment boutiques in Old Town Alexandria, Georgetown, 14th Street DC, and Clarendon. The shop promotes sustainable fashion by keeping high-quality designer pieces in circulation at a fraction of retail prices.
The event is free to attend.
