RE-SALE OF THE CENTURY: Store offering 75% off high-end items
The Berkley re-sale store will be offering up to 75% off on high-end merchandise on Aug. 5.
Berkley’s Council Re|Sale, one of the oldest resale stores in metro Detroit, is holding a special 75 percent off Summer Super Sale on Aug. 5 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The store, located at 3297 W. 12 Mile Road, is known for featuring high-end clothing, including designer wear, professional attire, shoes, evening wear, home décor, and other treasures — all generously donated by the local community.
At the Summer Super Sale, 75 % off normal prices will be storewide. Popular summer clothes such as shorts will be just $1.25 instead of $5; short dresses will be just $3 and long dresses will be $3.75; sandals will be $2 and flat shoes will be $2.50.
High-end brands in stock
Designer and high-end brands currently in the store include Tory Burch, Akris, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan and Kasper.
An Akris jacket will be selling for $12.50 instead of the regular $50 (retail $400 up to $2,000 and more) and a Donna Karan suit will be $15 instead of $60.
Bridal gowns are also available as well as stunning home décor, including original artwork, glassware, and crystal.
A Lennox 80-piece tableware set will be selling for $67.50 instead of the regular $250, a Lennox cake plate for $7.50, a Limoge candlestick for $6.25, and a complete silver-plated silverware set for $50.
A great cause
Proceeds from the store support the many projects of National Council of Jewish Women, Michigan (NCJW|MI), a nonprofit organization benefiting Detroit area women, children, and families in need.
“We decided to hold the Summer Super Sale to give metro Detroiters struggling with inflation and high food prices a chance to refresh their summer wardrobes at bargain prices that most people can afford,” explained President of NCJW|MI Sallyjo Levine.
“With the dog days of summer fast approaching, we wanted to give our many regular customers — and hopefully some new ones — the chance to look their best in the hot weather. And with our beautiful home décor on sale, there’s an opportunity to give your home an update too.”
Detroit-area fixture since 1930s

Money raised from the store funds many NCJW|MI projects including the annual Back 2 School Store, Backpack Project for homeless children, blankets for children in the hospital and in foster care, Kosher meals on wheels, literacy outreach, and social action initiatives such as voter rights advocacy.
