Helpful Consigning Tips

Everything You Need to Know for Successful Consigning

  1. All clothing must be freshly laundered and pressed. No exceptions.
  2. Button those buttons! Snap those snaps! Zip those zippers!
  3. Pet Hair? Cob webs? Mold or mildew? Pilling? Leave home, please.
  4. Scrub those soles (especially cleats). Chunks of dirt do not sell well.
  5. Please do not insist when we kindly decline your item. We know what sells best.
  6. Do not bring back last appointment's rejects.
  7. Bring your dresses and blazers on hangers always. We will return your hangers.
  8. Wrinkled, stained and/or has a mothball, basement/attic smell? Leave home, please.
  9. When we have accepted your 20 items, please do not tell us you've left three Lilly's in the car.
  10. Please bring items in shopping bags with handles. Garbage bags only wrinkle your items. We like to boast we are wrinkle-free.
  11. Items must be less than three years old.
  12. Please call first for your appointment. We are a small store and can only accomodate so much. Kindly keep your scheduled appointment between 10:30am and 3pm ALWAYS.
