In Your Business - Susan Walter 'Dresses' for Success

"In Your Business" is a series on Roswell's female entrepreneurs and business owners. This week we'll get to know Susan Walter from Unique Consignment Boutique.

What is your business and how long have you been doing it?

is an upscale resale boutique in historic Roswell. We sell designer women's clothing and evening wear (sizes 0-22), accessories, shoes and handbags. We have appointments with consignors daily, so there is always something new.  Most important, the prices are amazingly affordable, so you can look like a million bucks without breaking the bank! The racks are organized by size and color, making it easy to find what you are looking for. You will always feel welcome when you come in and our staff is always there to help you find the perfect outfit! I opened my store in 2004 after working in the consignment industry for 10 years.

I think being in the consignment business since I was a teenager helped me learn the ins and outs. I learned how to be selective in choosing the clothing that I put in my store. You have to be able to shop and choose items for different styles and personalities. So, when people come in to my store to shop, there is something for everyone.

How did you end up in Roswell area?

I was born and raised in Roswell, Georgia. I have never lived anywhere else! My parents came from England in 1971. I went to Roswell High School and my entire family lives in or around Roswell. I love living here and being close to them and I'm happy that my kids have the same opportunity to grow up here.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I love spending as much time as possible with my two girls, Lily and Claire.  We love to go camping, going to the local Roswell parks and [go] swimming! When I have extra time, I really just like to relax and hang out with my friends and family.

How can people find you?

You can find us in a little yellow house off Marietta Highway in historic Roswell, 134 Marietta Hwy. Or online. We are also on Facebook and Twitter where you can find daily updates and photos! We are open 7 days a week.
