Eco-Chic Celebrates 35 Years of Redefining Luxury Resale

Eco-Chic is celebrating its 35th anniversary, marking over three decades of operation in the luxury resale market since its founding in 1991. The Valley-based company has expanded from a single Phoenix boutique into a multi-brand family serving Arizona and California with authenticated designer goods. This milestone highlights the long-term viability of the circular economy within the luxury sector, demonstrating how high-end consignment has evolved from a niche concept into a mainstream retail powerhouse.

Founded in Phoenix in 1991, Eco-Chic entered the market with a vision to professionalize the secondhand shopping experience, moving away from crowded, unorganized stores toward a polished boutique model. CEO Heather Zorge notes that the company aimed to create a better way to shop and sell luxury items, a philosophy that has allowed the business to grow into a regional leader. Over 35 years, the company has expanded its footprint beyond its original Phoenix roots to include locations in Scottsdale and Chandler, as well as a significant expansion into the California market and the launch of an online inventory platform.

The Eco-Chic portfolio now includes several specialized brands that cater to different segments of the luxury market. My Sister’s Closet serves as the flagship for authenticated luxury fashion, featuring high-demand labels such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermès, Prada, Saint Laurent, Dior, and Rolex. The company further diversified with My Sister’s Attic, which focuses on designer furniture, artwork, and home décor, and Well Suited, a dedicated luxury menswear division offering designer suits, sport coats, shoes, and watches.

Beyond its retail success, Eco-Chic has positioned itself as a pioneer in the circular fashion movement, emphasizing the environmental value of extending the life cycle of luxury goods. By facilitating the resale of millions of items over three decades, the company has integrated sustainability into the high-end retail experience while making designer brands more accessible to a broader audience. Looking forward, the company intends to maintain its high standards while exploring new market opportunities to further expand the luxury resale movement.
