New location for boutique downtown consignment shop

PLATTSBURGH | Caché Elegant at 9 City Hall Place in Plattsburgh -- now located next to staple Mexican restaurant The Pepper -- is a trove for local treasure hunters. The boutique consignment shop carries clothing, shoes and jewelry, but also home decor and pieces crafted by local artisans. And consignors keep 50 percent of what items sell for. "I try to find unique, one-of-a-kind items," owner Barbara Hugus shared. The store offers a variety of home decor items, from refurbished accent tables to glassware and candle holders. Hugus said during the pandemic year, a number of shop visitors have sought to re-style their homes -- a task she has recently been able to assist with. Hugus described the styles of her inventory as mid-century, shabby chic, and classic. Formerly located at 26 City Hall Place, the move provided a space that she called "not too big and not too small." After a two-year search for a new spot, the store re-opened on Nov. 10, and since then things have been going "really well," Hugus told Sun Community News. "City Hall Place is really good for foot traffic." Many of her former clientele have returned, saying "I'm so glad that you're open" in a time when other local businesses have needed to pause or close down operations. Hugus loves to create what she called "vignettes" in her store window and throughout the boutique using a combination of clothing and decor pieces. "Try these smaller stores and boutiques," she said. "Definitely go in and take a look." The boutique is closed Sundays and Mondays, but is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
