Have you ever seen the meme about it being customary for Midwesterners to explain, upon being complimented on an article of clothing, that they acquired it at a significant discount? Well, it's funny because it's true! Here in Siouxland, we know the value of hand-me-downs and how buying used items can save money and reduce waste. And Rhea Lana's plays into that perfectly! Read on to find out how.

What is Rhea Lana's?

For shoppers, it means getting quality used children's items at a significant discount (about 60-90% off!) compared to buying new, and knowing that they will be clean, in-style, and in good condition. After the event, remaining items can be picked up by sellers along with their money or donated if buyers choose that option. Siouxland Rhea Lana's is also opening their doors to foster families in our area to choose before the clothes are donated!
Rhea Lana's isn't a traditional store that is open 360ish days a year. Instead, they hold seasonal shopping events lasting about a week, twice a year. Before the sale opens, there is time for consigners to bring in their items and for Rhea Lana's staff to get the sale set up. Then, VIPs and sellers get early access to the sale, and then it will be opened to the general public for about a week.
The first event at Rhea Lana's of Siouxland held was the fall/winter 2019 event, and now they're back with another great sale!
The fall/winter 2024 event is being held from September 9th through 13th, with exclusive shopping times starting on March 6th for those with platinum or gold tickets. There are also special shopping times on the 7th for consignors, silver ticket holders, and for healthcare heroes, military, moms-to-be, and teachers! And each ticket to the special access events covers two people, so you can bring your fave shopping buddy with you!
Rhea Lana's of Siouxland Fall/Winter 2024 sale will be held in the historic Aalfs building at 1004 4th Street. There is metered parking through the area and that metered parking is free after 5pm and on weekends
To be a seller at the next Rhea Lana's of Siouxland event:
There is also a VIP selling option. With the VIP program, Rhea Lana's staff will pick up your items, sort them, label, them, price them, and log them into the system. All you do is hand them your items, wait about a week, and then get paid! With the VIP program, you get 35% of the price of your items and Rhea Lana's gets 65%, and you basically don't have to do anything but give them your old things and wait for your check!
