Encore Consignment

Encore Consignment occupies a storefront at 423 Page Bacon Road in Mary Esther, just off US-98 between Fort Walton Beach and the beaches of the Emerald Coast. The shop previously did business as Encore ReSale 850, a name still visible on its original Facebook page and on several local directory listings, before rebranding to Encore Consignment. It is a locally owned, women-owned boutique, and it runs on a true consignment model rather than a straightforward thrift-store setup: local sellers bring in clothing, handbags, jewelry, and accessories, and the shop resells the items, splitting proceeds with the original owner instead of simply buying inventory outright and reselling it at a markup.

The selection leans toward trendy and vintage pieces rather than basic secondhand clothing. Local business listings describe a mix running “from new trends to vintage,” including items still carrying original tags alongside gently used designer pieces, and the shop advertises a broad size range for its clothing. Handbags, jewelry, and other accessories fill out the racks and display cases alongside the clothing, giving browsers a reason to look around even if they are not hunting for a specific outfit.

For visitors staying nearby in Mary Esther, Fort Walton Beach, or Destin, a consignment boutique like this fills a practical gap: a dress for a dinner out, a swimsuit cover-up, or a handbag, without paying full retail price at a mall. It also gives shoppers who enjoy thrifting or vintage hunting a stop that is not a large national consignment chain. Because inventory turns over constantly as new consignments arrive and older stock sells, no two visits to the shop look quite the same, which rewards a repeat stop on a return trip to the area rather than assuming a particular rack will look the same weeks later.

According to the shop’s listed hours, it is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 7 p.m., and closed Monday through Wednesday. These hours should be treated as a starting point rather than a guarantee: several third-party directories list different hours for this shop (one lists Monday, Tuesday, Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with Wednesday closed and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.; another lists Thursday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from noon to 8 p.m.), a common issue with small, independently run boutiques that do not update every online listing at the same time. Calling ahead at (850) 830-4107 before a special trip is the safest way to confirm the shop will be open.

Encore Consignment has no official business website at the time of this write-up, which is itself worth knowing for anyone searching online. The closest thing to a digital storefront is its Facebook page, still listed under the shop’s earlier name, Encore ReSale 850, and an Instagram account, @encore_consignfwb, using the abbreviation locals use for nearby Fort Walton Beach. Shoppers who want a sense of current inventory, or who want to ask about consigning their own clothing before a visit, should check those social accounts rather than searching for a dedicated e-commerce site. A similarly named “Encore Consignment” website that turns up in general search results belongs to an unrelated luxury consignment shop in the San Francisco Bay Area, not this Mary Esther boutique, so travelers should be careful not to confuse the two when looking for information online.

Anyone interested in consigning items rather than just shopping should call ahead to ask about the shop’s intake process, since consignment boutiques typically have specific rules about which brands they accept, condition standards, and how sale proceeds get split with the original owner, and those particular details were not independently verified for this write-up. For travelers packing light for a beach trip, the simpler case holds regardless of those specifics: a browse through Encore Consignment can turn up a designer find or a fun vintage piece for a fraction of its original retail price, right along the main road connecting Mary Esther to the rest of the Emerald Coast.
