After years of working in business consulting and finance, Columbia native Kim March transformed her entrepreneurial experience into a passion project. Divine Consign, a resale shop that sells curated clothes and accessories, opened in October 2025 and has already seen strong support from Columbia's thrifting community. March was inspired to start the business after seeing a friend's success with a consignment shop, and she aims to provide an elevated thrifting experience with trusted brands and good condition items.

Why it matters

Consignment stores like Divine Consign offer a more sustainable and community-focused alternative to traditional retail, allowing shoppers to find unique, affordable items while giving new life to pre-owned clothing. As thrifting has grown in popularity, Divine Consign stands out by curating a selection of elevated fashion pieces in a welcoming environment that fosters relationships between customers, employees, and consignors.

The details

Divine Consign offers a different thrifting experience than typical secondhand stores, with a focus on higher-quality, name-brand items in good condition. March was inspired to open the shop after traveling and visiting consignment stores, which sparked her interest in sustainability and the community-building aspects of resale retail. The store has already hired long-term employees like first-year University of Missouri student Addison Gooding, who previously worked at a consignment shop in her hometown. March hopes to continue growing her staff and customer base through word-of-mouth, aiming to provide sizes from 2X to 4X and serve a diverse range of shoppers.

  • Divine Consign opened in October 2025.
  • The store hosted a Pajama Jam shopping event on January 31, 2026.
