About

Looks Better On Me Resale & Consignment is a women-owned consignment boutique in San Diego's Grantville neighborhood, carrying designer handbags, vintage jewelry, shoes, and clothing in sizes 0 through 5X from a storefront at 6940 Alvarado Road, Suite C, in the 92120 ZIP. Owner Trisha Donnelly opened the shop in 2014 with a multigenerational focus—the racks are organized so a grandmother, mother, and daughter can all find pieces in the same visit, spanning cocktail dresses and structured blazers to casual denim and knitwear. Consigned clothing that needs hem adjustments or waist tailoring before resale routes through Primo Alterations & Dry Cleaning in the same Grantville corridor, keeping turnaround tight for high-demand pieces. The handbag wall is the shop's signature draw, rotating authenticated pieces from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Tory Burch, Burberry, Kate Spade, and Michael Kors, all inspected for hardware condition and interior lining before consignment approval. Jewelry cases feature sterling silver, turquoise, Heidi Daus crystal sets, Eisenberg Ice brooches, vintage Camrose & Cross reproductions, and Swarovski accent pieces, with stock shifting as consignors bring new estates and closet purges. The Alvarado Road location sits just off Interstate 8 at the 70th Street exit, less than two miles from SDSU and within the same commercial pocket as several Grantville dining spots. Looks Better On Me identifies as LGBTQ+-inclusive and operates as a designated transgender safe space, extending the multigenerational welcome to a broad size and identity range. Product photography for consignment listings and social media passes through Bauman Photographers in the Grantville photo-studio cluster when high-value items need catalog-quality imaging. The boutique carries both pre-owned and new-with-tags merchandise, with many items arriving from estate liquidations and corporate-wardrobe turnover across San Diego County.
