Our schedule of Seasons

How to consign with us:

We accept all of our consignment by appointment only.

Our appointments consist of a 3 month window for each of the 4 seasons 

noted above. We book for one season at a time. We do not accept out of season items during the current window of appointments.

​

If you have GEAR only, we may be able to get you in sooner!

interested in booking an appointment.

​

Consignment Terms:

60 days / 40%payout

There are just a few things we want you to remember when sorting your clothing and goods.

​

1) CONDITION is the #1 factor - regardless of brand, we know our customers

are looking for items in GREAT condition!

That means NO: stains, odors, pilling, misshapen/shrunken, holes/tears,

broken/missing fasteners, pet hair, name tags or removed brand/size tags.

​

2) AGE - items should be no more than 5 years old. Because...well...style! 

That includes clothing, accessories, toys, books and gear.

​

3) SEASON - we hold appointments based on 4 separate seasons. Separate your

apparel by season and bring only the appropriate items to your appointment.

​

Basically, in order to make your consignment experience the best it can be,

you should review all your pieces ahead of time and present them

in their very best condition to be considered for the store!

Prepare for your appointment

the key to consignment? >>> CONDITION!

​

Follow these 3 easy steps to make your consignment experience the most successful.

​

1. Sort your clothing items into three piles: GREAT, GOOD & POOR condition items.

​

• GREAT-condition clothing is NEW or looks new, has retained its shape, and bears little to no signs of wear and tear.

​

• GOOD-condition clothing is a little bit faded or worn with no stains, holes or missing/broken fasteners.

• POOR-condition clothing is stained, pilled, misshapen/shrunken, threadbare or has holes in it.

GOOD & POOR items should not be brought for consideration - instead - these items should be responsibly DONATED or RECYCLED.

​​

2. Prepare your GREAT condition clothing items & accessories:

• make sure items are clean and recently laundered.

• button, zip and/or snap fasteners

• remove name tags or initials

• place multi piece outfit items together (must be originally purchased multi-piece outfit, same size & brand)

• shoes should be clean, scuff free and no debris in the treads/soles

​

3. Pack up your items for your scheduled appointment:

• Fold clothing neatly and bring to your appointment in a reusable tote, shopping bag, basket, bin or box.

We WILL NOT review clothing brought in garbage bags!

• games, puzzles or toys with small or detachable parts should be placed in clear zipper bags.​​
