Hello

I opened Wears & Wares in February of 2023. I am delighted to have realized a vision that combines my love of reducing waste and repurposing; art; and community. I look forward to bringing you high-end women's clothing; baby items up to 2T; and vintage items. I will also feature salvaged items as well as workshops.

The shop features items on consignment as well as my own repurposed and vintage items. The carefully-curated collection is always changing so you will want to stop by frequently. Thank you for your business and for supporting the western Maine region.

-Lisa Laflin, owner

There is always something new at Wears & Wares thanks to the

hundreds of consignors who support our vision.

Customer of the Month

Joanne Hall

Joanne lives in East Dixfield and resides at Hall farms where she and her husband Rodney produce maple syrup. She loves to come to Wears and Wares noting that it is a fantastic stop where you get personal attention. "It's always a unique experience and there is some really nice stuff!"

Wears & Wares Cares

We believe in giving back to our community so we created Wears & Wares Cares.

Sales

Clothing items are consigned on the shop floor for two months. If the consigner chooses to donate clothes to the shop after they expire in two months (which the majority of our consigners do), they are then sold on the sale rack and a portion of the proceeds of those sales will go to a specific organization doing important work in our community.

Wears & Wears Cares' recipient organization for May is LEAP, Inc.

For more tha 40 years LEAP has been supporting people with developmental, cognitive and intellectual disabilities to be actively involved in their communities.

Organizational Accounts

Organizations are also welcomed to set up an account and encourage their staff and community members to consign items to benefit their cause. Current organizations include the UMF Johnson Scholars Student Emergency Fund; LEAP, Inc.; and Safe Voices.
