“Marlene! I still have a coat she picked out for me to wear in Paris 4 years ago. I’m still getting compliments from strangers. A legend. ”

Our Beloved Marlene is Retiring after 20 years at City Opera Thrift Shop
Come visit in person, or send her a message below; we will be putting all the messages in a card for her!
A NEW CHAPTER: With a heavy heart we announce that after 20 years of bringing joy, light, style, and unmatched customer service to COTS, Marlene B. Gutierrez will retire on Friday, August 28th.
“Many thanks and blessings to Marlene for her good ENERGY. Thank you for your service to the COT community, Marlene! ”
We encourage all who are able to come to the shop (she works Tuesday-Friday) before August 28th to wish her well on this next chapter, and of course for one final chance to be styled by Marlene.
WE MISS HER ALREADY: Marlene has touched so many lives and wardrobes over the years and we can't express our gratitude enough for her commitment to our mission.
We love you Marlene! Here’s to your next chapter!
“Thank you to Marlene all the way from Germany! I shopped a lot in your 23rd Street location when I lived around the corner from 2012 to 2016… it was always a special atmosphere when Marlene manned the register or worked the floor. Enjoy your retirement!”
“I literally *just* met Marlene this past week, and was SO happy to do so. Even with that one chance encounter, her kind disposition and caring nature really touched and inspired me. I will try to pass by once again before the 28th, but godspeed and bless her in whatever she endeavors. With brand new and lasting love.”
