If you want to deck yourself out in all your favourite designer brands, but don't quite have the coin to justify not eating for the next week, Mio Tesoro can help you out. The Chapel Street store opened in 2005, and since then founder Elaine Yeow has put to good use years of experience working at Louis Vuitton, where she developed an incredible eye for fashion. Operating as a luxury consignment store, Mio Tesoro helps sellers of exclusive brands find a buyer. Fortunately, this also happens to be your ticket to land a bargain on some rarely seen pieces from the likes of Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Dior. Plus, you're helping the environment by buying less new and fast fashion pieces.
