For an unbelievable 25 years, Loloâs Consignment has been part of the fabric of St. Helena and the larger Napa Valley.
I can still remember the day we opened in September of 1996 in what is now The Wydown Hotel, known then as âThe Donaldson Building.â At the end of that first day, a friend inquired as to how it went and I answered with wonder, âpeople came in and actually bought things.â
Loloâs (my daughter Laurenâs nicknameâshe was 5 years old at the time) was the end result of a business plan written originally to be a childrenâs resale store. However, that opening dayâs store inventory included womenâs and menâs clothing as well as a few painted chests and tchotchkes.
