Guidelines for a successful consignment

The following
are important guidelines when considering
consigning clothing & accessories:

  • clothing must be in “ready to wear” condition
  • Items must be checked carefully for cleanliness, freshness, intact seams, buttons, snaps, etc.
  • Contemporary styles – most recent (1-2 years), popular, classic pieces, high-end or better-department store labels
  • Please refrain from any scented fabric softeners or “moth balls”
  • Shoes & handbags follow the same guidelines as to quality, style, and condition (no scuffs, worn leather)
  • We will also consider fashionable costume jewelry & other accessories (belts & scarves).
  • Items are taken in current season as follows:
    • February thru March – Spring
    • April thru June – Summer
    • July thru September – Transitional Fall (light wool knits, gabs, long-sleeve jackets, raincoats)
    • October thru December – Winter & Holiday
  • Consignment period is 90 days—items selling for < $40 are paid at 40%, items selling for > $40 are paid at 50%.
  • Appointments not necessary but a prior phone call would be appreciated!
