Save Yourselves

Rescue Consignment Boutique

Delayed gratification? So five minutes ago. You like your pedis quick-dry, your packages priority overnight, and your oatmeal instant.

Hit Rescue for a need-it-now fix. The Allston store trades pristine clothes, shoes, and accessories based on season, brand, and condition.

Selling? The owners cut you in on the spot, giving you 30 percent of the clothes’ determined value in cash or 50 percent of the amount in in-store credit. Buying? Find trend-conscious pieces for men and women by the likes of Marc by Marc Jacobs, A.P.C., and Helmut Lang alongside a smattering of vintage items.

Stock is carefully culled and kaleidoscopically organized, with most prices below the $100 watermark.

Allowing you to restock your closet double-quick.

Rescue, 252 Brighton Avenue, Allston (617-202-3838 or rescuebuyselltrade.com).
