(NAPSI)-Fashionistas seeking the latest designer pieces-at a fraction of the retail cost-now have a new fashion haven.

Online consignment boutiques, also known as e-tiques, offer authentic, immaculate designer shoes, handbags, accessories and clothing but for up to 75 percent off what you would pay in trendy shops and specialty stores.

One consignment site, Christabelle's Closet Designer Resale Boutique, was created by Christabelle, a veteran of the beauty and fashion industry. Christabelle has made good use of her contacts-and trained eye for quality and detail-to find the most sought-after fashions on consignment.

Christabelle guarantees the authenticity of each item sold on her Web site. Customers can rest assured that the Louis Vuitton bag they covet is not a knockoff from overseas. A new customer (all customer and consigners remain confidential), recently stated "My friends want to know where I am getting all this money to purchase Prada handbags and gorgeous Jimmy Choo shoes! I am letting them all think I got a promotion at work..."

In addition to offering the finest in shoes, handbags, accessories and clothing for women, men and children, the site also offers a way to give back to those in need. Christabelle's Clearance Closet donates half of all proceeds from sales to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Money from sales in this section funds research to cure this debilitating disease that affects over half a million people in the United States.

So whether you're hunting for the perfect Fendi tie for dad, seeking out a gorgeous Gucci wallet or handbag for a friend, Baby Dior for your little one or Prada stilettos for yourself, the place to shop is online. And the fun doesn't end at "checkout"; each package is shipped in signature pink packaging and comes with a complimentary pink sachet for your own closet at home. There are consignment forms on the site, so you can consign your own designer goodies and make easy cash for yourself.

In operation since 2004, the e-tique offers visitors the opportunity to look like a million but not spend in the millions. To browse through Christabelle's Closet, visit www.christabellescloset.com.

Tip: Make sure to visit frequently-new items appear regularly and sell out fast.
