House of Hope Resale in Barrington opened the doors Wednesday, Nov. 7 to a completely transformed space. “Not only is it the kick- off of our annual Holiday Premiere, but we are also premiering our newly-expanded store,” Caryn Habley, store manager said.

Main St. Owner Laura Howard said this isn’t your typically resale store. “It looks like a high-end boutique,” Howard described. “It does not look like a trunk store, it’s really unique.” Vanity Share sells popular labels like Ann Taylor, Banana Republic and J.

Resale was something Howard knew well before taking her knowledge and experience and forming her own business. “I found a great little corner, it’s been a lot of fun,” Howard said. “Thankfully, it’s gone over really well, because there’s …
