Closet Trading Co

The Closet Trading Co.

By Melissa Strand

The Closet Trading Co. is a women’s luxury designer apparel and accessories consignment store. They have beautiful and sought-after brands from Free People to Chanel, all in incredibly good condition and up to 90% off retail. Owner of The Closet Trading Co., Meghan Brock, started her business when she became disenchanted with her tech industry work and began to evaluate her passions. She is deeply passionate about fashion, particularly in the craftsmanship and beauty that is produced by high-end design.

The tipping point in Meghan’s decision to pursue this venture is the accessibility of resale prices, which allows customers who may otherwise not have access to designer labels to purchase items at prices that they can afford. She also greatly respects the resale business model and the sustainability of resale fashion. The fashion industry is ranked third as the largest contributor to global pollution, so being able to reuse and eliminate some of this egregious wastefulness in the industry is something she is very passionate about.

In March of 2023, Meghan made the very scary decision to leave the tech industry to sign a franchise agreement and open the first The Closet Trading Co. in Northern California. She worked incredibly hard to find the perfect store location, remodel and build it out to the gorgeous interior you see today, as well as build the perfect team of talented sales stylists. She just celebrated her second anniversary in October 2025, a testament to the popularity of this beloved Sacramento gem.

Meghan feels the aspect that sets her store apart from others is that it doesn’t feel like a consignment store, it feels like a high-end boutique. From shopping around the store, to purchasing a high-end designer piece, the customer gets to have the experience and excellent service that you might find when shopping at a retail designer boutique. They not only have the highest commission rates for consignors but will match any competitor’s quote on consignor items. Even though the products are deeply discounted, there’s no compromise on those special shopping experiences. Her customers have said that they love the ambiance of the store and of course, are so excited when they find that special piece that is perfect for them. To consign, there is no appointment needed and customers can drop off their items any time. Meghan and her team carefully pick what they think will sell best in the store, which are items from their favorite brands and styles from the last two to three years, in very good condition. They take in any brands that you’d find at Nordstrom as well as very high-end brands like Chanel or Gucci. Some of their current favorite brands include Jenni Kayne, Frame, Mother, Johnny Was, and Lululemon.

Meghan Brock and her family moved to the Fab 40s from Midtown about a year ago. She lives with her husband, 11-year-old daughter, Minuet, eight-year-old son, Kal, and four-year-old daughter, Sunday, as well as their Goldendoodle, Kirby. Meghan is an active tennis player at Sutter Lawn Tennis Club. When she is not working or playing tennis, her time is devoted to her family and participating in community events and fundraisers. She would like to bring more The Closet Trading Co. locations to Northern California. She feels there is a huge appetite locally for high-end and designer fashion, but currently there are limited options. She is so proud of the business model where she can offer fantastic prices to her customers with competitive commission rates to their consignors, so everyone wins. Her mission is to assist women in finding apparel and accessories that help them feel confident and beautiful, and her glowing customer testimonials speak volumes about the experience and feeling you will get when you walk through her doors.
