Top 5 upscale consignment shops in South Florida

If you're loco for logos from designers like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Cartier, Prada, Pucci and Gucci, then hit South Florida's high-end consignment shops to save big bucks on those and other ultra-luxe brands.

The consignments cater to savvy shoppers on the hunt for the very best. They don't pay retail. It's utterly unfashionable.

Paulette Cooper Noble, author of "Bargain Shopping in Southeast Florida," ($17.95 at ShoppingInFlorida.com), says high-end consignments offer fabulous deals on designer goods. Her book details 250 area thrift and consignment stores and also offers helpful shopping advice. "It's really hard to pick my Top 5 because there are at least 20 great spots, but here goes."
