Products, taken entirely from donations, are tailored to individuals who are looking for trendy, fashionable and designer apparel and furnishings.

Through ventures like this, we are not only offering premium finds, but also building bridges to brighter futures, making a profound impact on workforce development throughout South Carolina.”
Prices at Auten’s Loft will range from $3.99 to $24.99 and are determined by current trends, designer and brand names. The shop will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday.
