The Green Jeans story.

Nine hundred miles from home, two stylish sisters — and their mom, flown in from Wisconsin — turned a shared love of shopping into the most-talked-about one-week shopping event in Charlotte.

The story

Nine hundred miles
from home.

Sixteen years ago, two sisters from Milwaukee discovered something that would change their lives-and shopping in Charlotte forever.

Dana and Cindy have always shared a love for fashion, finding incredible deals, and living sustainably. During a visit back to their hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, they stumbled upon a pop-up consignment sale and were instantly hooked. It wasn’t just about saving money-it was about giving beautiful pieces a second life while making shopping feel like an adventure.

They looked at each other and asked, “Why doesn’t Charlotte have something like this?”

So they decided to create it with a secret weapon: Mom. Rita flies in from Wisconsin for every single Green Jeans sale and runs the sales floor with unmatched energy, organization, and just the right amount of tough love.

What shoppers are saying.

Word on the street

Green Jeans is a fashionista dream come true! Best brands, amazing selection, super prices and spacious dressing rooms! Eco friendly and wallet friendly, that’s my style!

— LA, Mooresville NC

Consignment sales are more fun than any shopping mall. You come out with 5 times the stuff at a fraction of the price! The selection and quality at Green Jeans was phenomenal and I love knowing that all unsold inventory is given to five amazing charities! Everybody wins at a Greens Jeans sale!

— Melissa, Davidson, NC

I always find top name brands at very reasonable prices including a new, leather Coach purse for $20! All items that I have found are in new or EUC condition and I look forward to going to every single sale. My advice is to bring a friend and take your time!

— Patrice, Charlotte, NC

Green Jeans provided a great variety of items. It appealed to me (a Mom) and my two teenagers… so what a spread. I have loved wearing my Nanette Lepore purchases and get tons of compliments. The girls have enjoyed the jeans, tops and purses. Great sale and wonderful prices too!

— Donna, Mooresville, NC

Consigning with Cindy and Dana was fast, easy and fun! They were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend consigning with these sisters!
