Swanky secondhand in Marblehead
A reader recently tipped us of to Madam Had'em, a high-end, well-edited consignment boutique in Marblehead. In addition to Chanel scarves, St. John suits, and Prada suede pumps, there's a good selection of jeans (J Brand, Theory, 7 For All Mankind), with some pairs costing around $30 or even under, with the store's markdown system (10 percent off after 30 days, 20 percent off after 60 days). Skirts range from around $10-$125, and stylish, like-new shoes can be had for under $20. Madam Had'em is at 160 Washington St., Marblehead, 781-639-7798. www.madamhadem.com
