For Amanda Mistretta, fashion is about more than style, it's about confidence, sustainability, and community.

When Amanda became the owner of Paula's Couture Consignment in January 2026, she saw the opportunity to combine her love of fashion, secondhand shopping, and supporting local businesses while continuing the legacy of a longtime Downtown Batavia favorite. Paula's Couture Consignment offers a curated selection of women's and gender-neutral clothing, shoes, handbags, and accessories, making quality fashion more affordable while helping keep clothing out of landfills.

Amanda's favorite part of owning the shop is helping customers feel confident and creating a welcoming space where everyone enjoys shopping. That same spirit extends into the community through partnerships with local organizations, charitable causes, downtown events, and collaborations with fellow small businesses. Paula's was recently honored as Best Consignment Shop in Kane County, a recognition Amanda says reflects the support of their loyal customers and hardworking team.

When she's not at the shop, Amanda enjoys spending time with her husband, Anthony, and their two sons, Phineas and Sterling. Visit Paula's Couture Consignment and discover the joy of sustainable shopping while supporting a locally owned small business.
