Buy Less. Choose Well. Make it Last.

ClosettCandyy Consignment is a thoughtfully curated and joyfully inspired second-hand fashion boutique located in downtown Kingston, Ontario.

 

Created by personal stylist Jesse Whale, our goal is to help you build a quality wardrobe you love to wear, by providing a unique mix of basics and statement pieces from both modern and vintage brands. Most of the items in our shop are brand new or barely worn, and we are proud to give them the second (third, or fourth) home they deserve. â€‹â€‹â€‹

 

We are here to change the way people shop and think about secondhand clothing, by encouraging our customers to  only purchase items they need, and to consider their purchases as an investment for years to come, rather than just a "good deal". At ClosettCandyy we believe that shopping mindfully is much more rewarding than "retail therapy" in the long run.

  • What's your average service fee?
    The average service fee depends on your wardrobe and personal styling needs. Please send an email or fill out this form and I can provide you with a quote! Payment plans are available, and packages can be tailored to fit your budget. At the end of the day, working with a personal stylist is an investment that will save you time and money.
  • Do you offer payment plans?
    I sure do! Once we've established your wardrobe needs, we plan out the payment over 3 to 5 months to best suit your budget.
  • Do you work with clients outside of Kingston?
    I will gladly travel beyond Kingston to work with you. I've travelled to Ottawa, Montreal, Brockville, Kitchener, Toronto, Ajax, and more. A travel/mileage fee will apply in addition to service fees. Virtual Styling packages are also available for your convenience.
  • I'm a hard size to fit. Do you think you can help me?
    Of course! The majority of my clients come into our sessions thinking that they're a tough size or fit. But guess what? It’s not your body that doesn’t fit, it’s the clothing. I can help you understand your body shape and find the right pieces.
  • Will I have to try on clothes during our session?
    Yes, but it won't be as painful as you think. Fit is one of the most over-looked aspects of style and it is crucial to helping us make the best choices for your wardrobe. Trying on clothes and talking about likes and dislikes is often a fun and empowering part of our session!
  • Do you take photos of outfits for reference?
    Always. Whenever I create outfits for you during a Closet Audit or Shop Your Closet appointment, we take detailed photos of your fully-accessorized looks. I send the photos in an online album with style recommendations so you can print them out in a format that works best for you. Alternatively, I can also print and bind the photos for you in hand-held Lookbook.
  • What if I don't have a lot of money for shopping?
    Not a problem! I’ll teach you how to shop smart. We’ll share tips on how to buy the best quality for less. You’ll learn how to mix and match to create more outfits with fewer pieces. And, because we determine your optimum colors and styles, you’ll learn how to repeat your clothing successes and eliminate costly clothing mistakes.
  • Can you organize my closet?
    I can and I will. One of the key elements of the Closet Audit is organizing your wardrobe. We discuss how you get dressed in the morning and make a plan to organize your closet from there. We hang, fold, and arrange your clothing so you may find what you need and create outfits with ease. I also provide expertise on how best to store your clothing to keep it looking and feeling new. If you need an additional organizing session, that can also be arranged.
  • Can I host a style party with friends?
    Please do! I love working with groups of all sizes, for professional or personal gatherings. A Style Workshop can be arranged in a corporate setting with colleagues, at a boutique, or in a client’s home with friends and family. I tailor the style topic to the group, with live demos for a fun, educational, and interactive event! Learn more about Style Workshops and other events here.
  • Do you offer Virtual Styling?
    Yes! All of my personal styling services are available virtually. You can learn more about the benefits of a Virtual Closet here.
  • Do you work with men?
    I do. I work with men of all ages who need assistance with either professional, event-wear, or casual looks.
  • Do you offer Gift Cards?
    Yes! You can view and purchase Gift Cards here.
  • Do I have to share my photos online?
    Absolutely not. All photos on my website and social are shared with permission.
  • What is your Fabric Spray used for?
    It was designed to help you keep your clothing fresh between washes and prolong the lifespan of your garments by encouraging you to wash them less and instead use fabric spray to remove odors and refresh. However, it's uses are unlimited! It can be used to refresh anything and everything inside and outside of them. Ideas for use: refresh your bedding and linens, curtains and towels, shoes and hats, sports equipment, carpets and pet beds, use it as a room or body mist... Tips for Use... Always shake before use Spray from an inch away to freshen fabrics and furnishings. Tips for clothing: turn your garment inside out and concentrate your spritz on the affected areas (armpits, crotch, etc.). Hang in your doorway, shower, or by a window for 12-24 hours to allow odors to dissipate before hanging back up in your closet. Safe to use on: all clothing and fabrics, shoes, bedding, towels, upholstery, drapery, furniture, carpets, yoga mats, kid's toys, etc.
  • Do you offer refills?
    Yes! You can either return your bottle for a deposit or refill if it's one of the larger sizes. Learn more about these options here.
  • Is it non-toxic?
    YES! There are three simple ingredients that make up ClosettCandyy Fabric Spray: organic essential oils, vodka, and distilled water.
  • Do you deliver?
    Yes! Learn more about pick-up, delivery and shipping options here.
  • Is it safe around pets?
    Yes! There's not enough essential oils in a dispersed spray to affect your pets like a diffuser would. However, if you were to spill an entire bottle and your pet were to try and lick it up—this would be a safety hazard.
  • Where can I buy it other than your website?

Hi! I'm Jesse

I've always had a big love for personal style, the environment, and helping others. After a lot of hard work and some very fateful moments, I've merged these three passions to create ClosettCandyy: a style consulting and consignment business that empowers others to embrace who they are, discover their personal style, and start dressing for themselves—while also keeping mother nature in mind.​
​
I opened the doors to ClosettCandyy Consignment on November 17th, 2022 after six years working as a personal stylist and wardrobe consultant within Kingston and the Quinte West region. It was time for me to stop dreaming of my "store one day" and instead, open it. It has been a beautiful experience ever since, and I am so grateful to Kingston for the warm embrace that our community has shown ClosettCandyy.

P.S. Did you know I am also the maker of ClosettCandyy Fabric Spray? You can check it out and learn more here.

Today I had a consignment appointment with Jesse. She is very friendly and knowledgeable, you can definitely tell she loves her job and what she does! This is a very nice shop in the downtown area, highly recommend if you’re wanting to consign your brand name items or to just look around, she has a great selection of high quality items!


We will definitely be coming back in the future! I also follow the shop on instagram and always enjoy seeing all the new items that come in!! Thank you Jesse! :)

A beautiful, inviting space of carefully created consigned pieces. Working with Jesse for both consigning or buying is a great experience. Highly recommend you stop in and browse.

​First time shopper, lifetime customer! I am blown away by the quality of service and the quality of the peices sold at this beautiful shop! There is something for everyone here, from casual wear to statement pieces, from current styles to vintage designs! I came into the store because I seen a statement piece I absolutely needed to try on in an instagram suggested post. I was through the roof excited when I walked in and the owner, Jesse, knew I was the one that had commented asking if the item was still available. The price point was great, the quality 10/10, but wow, the service blew me away! Not only did she take the time to get to know me as a person, but she fully took her expertise as a personal stylist and helped me plan outfits based on what I currently have to work with in my own closet. The items are well priced, the quality is amazing because she vets each piece that comes in, and the service is genuine.

Valerie
