REWIND is a preloved clothing store at 75 Queen Street in Waimate. It sells second-hand vintage and labelled clothing, and the website says it also takes consignments. Anyone can drop in clothes, shoes or accessories, with a minimum of five items preferred, and receive a confirmation email listing the goods and their prices. When an item sells, the owner receives 45% of the sale, either as in-store credit or by bank transfer. Items stay at the set price for six weeks, then drop 25%, and after eight weeks drop 50%. Unsold items are donated to charity after 11 weeks, and credit stays on file for one year. Clothing should be freshly washed, without holes, stains, heavy wear or pet hair, and preferably no older than two years unless in very good condition.
Reviewers describe a shop with a great selection of clothes that look like new, good quality and fair prices. One says the store is beautiful, and that they would never guess the clothing was second hand. Another found the owner and staff very friendly and helpful, and enjoys sorting through the racks.
