Downtown Silver Spring now has a fabulous addition to Bonifant Street with the opening of a new consignment store, On the Purple Couch.

Owner Bahia Akerele's mantra to reuse, renew and conserve has been well applied in the thoughtfully selected range of near-new, high quality women's, men's and children's clothing, accessories and jewelry. The merchandise is a collection of well priced, modern pieces ranging from dressier, high end labels to more casual, everyday wear. Having one-off pieces throughout the store guarantees you that no one else will be dressed the same as you!

In addition to the impeccable range of apparel, On the Purple Couch offers an array of new products including luxurious olive oil soaps from Made by Meika and Annie Sloan chalk
