The Chic Consignment Closet is located at 46 Main Street and is owned and operated by Lise Nardone.  The boutique opened on June 11, 2009 and replaced Stitch Boutique, which closed in May of 2009.
In the late 1880's Moses Stevens connected the Marland Mills - one in Andover, one in Haverhill, and one in North Andover - by telephone.  This was the first telephone in Andover. Moses Stevens had bought Marland Mills from Abraham Marland in 1879.


In April of 2009, Nardone began to sell consignment items in her boutique for young women called Gigi's of Andover on Essex Street.  The idea proved to be successful and Nardone decided to open a separate high-end consignment clothing and accessories shop.
In the 1958 dial telephones came to Andover.  The first exchange was Greenleaf (475).  Andover originally had a 617 area code.  It was first changed to 508 and finally to 978 in 1977.


The store specializes in designer juniors, misses and women's clothing and handbags.  Most items in the store are priced at approximately one-third to one-quarter of the original retail prices.  Some of the most notable brand carried in the store include Burberry, Prada, Diane von Furstenberg, Coach, Loui Vuitton and Lacoste.  Women interested in dropping off clothing for consignment can receive up to 40% of the piece's selling price.  The item should be in excellent condition and no more than 2 years old.
