Posh Finds will celebrate its one-year anniversary with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, October 30. Since opening in 2014, the clothing store has filled a need in the South Shore community for gently used women’s clothing and accessories. The ribbon cutting provides an opportunity for the community to check out this locally owned store and shop for the winter season.
Owned and operated by Krystal Garcia, Posh Finds offers a range of stylish clothing that is gently used and gentle on your wallet. Posh Finds was born out of Garcia’s interest in affordable fashion.
