DC Consignments on Providence Highway specializes in high end fashion including handbags, as well as estate-like furniture.
In between helping customers with moving furniture, DC Consignments owner Michael Hajjar, spoke about the high end consignment business, estate sales, designer handbags and more.
The Dedham store opened in January of 2012, and Hajjar, originally from Cohasset, now living in Quincy, opened the first DC Consignments store in Natick in 2009.
"DC Consignments – more or less what we do is we consign high end women fashion, handbags, accessories, and what makes makes us different is we do mens clothes, furniture, and estate sales," said Hajjar to Patch.

"If you think about it, we’re taking in used clothes. We are valuing (used items). We attract high end inventory and sell them at reasonable prices," said Hajjar, adding some of the designer brands you'll see in the store at 910 Providence Highway, include: Louis Vitton, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Michael Kors, and Chloe.
In the back of the store is the furniture section.
"It’s consigned. We look at unique, quality furniture," said Hajjar. "Real wood and quality unique estate-like furniture, which implies not the big box (stores)."
