Our Consignment Process: What to Know

With over 21 years in business, we know what our customers love and what sells. That experience guides us in selecting items for our sales floor.

Clothing: We accept 5–30 items of women’s and juniors’ brand-name clothing in current styles from the last 2–3 years. Older items will be donated.

Please bring clothing freshly laundered, wrinkle-free, and on hangers, with one item per hanger. Items should be clean and ready for display, with buttons buttoned and zippers zipped. We do not steam clothing. Items with excessive wrinkles will be donated.

Need hangers? We have recycled hangers from other consignors available at the shop for you to take home and prepare your clothing for consignment.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Accessories: Accessories are treated separately from clothing. Shoes, handbags, and other accessories must be clean and show little to no wear. Handbags should be in excellent condition, including the handles, bottom corners, interior lining, and zippers. Please check all pockets and compartments for personal belongings before consigning.

Bring accessories in a shopping bag that you can leave with us. Items brought in garbage bags will be declined.

Authenticity: All items must be authentic. It is illegal to sell counterfeit or "designer-inspired" items.

Jewelry: Jewelry consignment is temporarily paused. We have lots of fabulous pieces waiting to reach the sales floor! Jewelry is one of our most time-consuming categories to process, so we’re taking time to catch up. Thank you for understanding!

Consignment Period: Clothing and accessories are consigned for 60 days.

Payment: Consignors receive 40% of the final selling price (minus any fees or taxes) for most items. Designer handbags receive 50% of the final selling price (minus any fees or taxes) if priced over $100.
