INA NYC closes 13th Street outpost

The Union Square location of INA NYC has closed, a for-rent sign hangs in the front window here on 13th Street between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue.

The designer consignment store, dating to 1993, has several NYC locations. For now, just the outpost on Prince Street is open. INA expanded to 13th Street in 2014.

Openings: Handsome Dan's on 1st Avenue; INA 'super store' on East 13th Street

Handsome Dan's Snocone & Candy Stand quietly opened late last week at 186 First Ave. Per the store's About on Facebook, Handsome Dan's serves "the Finest Homemade, All-Natural Snocones, Vintage Sodas, Hot Cider, Old-Time Candy, Cotton Candy, and Chocolate this side of the Mississippi!"

Proprietor Daniel Levin opened his first stand in Williamsburg in May 2012.

Previously, 186 First Ave. near East 11th Street was home to A-1 Music for 26 years until January.

Meanwhile, INA opened its sixth consignment shop on East 13th Street near Fourth Avenue last Monday…



This location is dubbed a "super store" … and it does look pretty massive as far as these kind of places go…



Here are some details from Racked's coverage of the opening:

While the stores typically consign higher-end names — their list of acceptable designers includes Chloé, Balenciaga, Judith Leiber, and Rag & Bone — they'll now also be accepting what they're dubbing as "secondary brands." That includes J. Crew, BCBG, Urban Outfitters, Uniqlo, Diesel, Theory, Banana Republic, Express, and Anthropologie.

This space was previously home to Photo Tech Repair Service, which merged with its location on West 34th Street.

Photo Tech Repair Service moved away from its home on East 13th Street between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue last fall ... merging with their West 34th Street location…

And now signs are up announcing the new tenant — another location for INA …



Here's more about INA via their website:

INA is New York’s most established designer consignment store. Since we opened in 1993, we have been accepting only the finest designer clothing, shoes, accessories, and select vintage, all carefully curated by our trained staff. In addition to choosing merchandise that is only of the highest quality and condition, INA staff are attuned to current fashion trends, as well as being collectors and followers of couture history, examples of which often find their way into our stores.

Currently, the closest INA shop is at 15 Bleecker St. between the Bowery and Lafayette.
