Guidelines for Consignment

So you have a beautiful MK purse you received as a gift that just "isn't you"? Or maybe had a fun online splurge that the return process is not worth it? Perhaps it's just time to clean out the closet to make room for a few new season faves? That's why we are here! Here's the down low on the process...

What do we accept?

We accept higher end name brands or unique pieces of clothing, purses, accessories and footwear, that have been purchased in the last wo years in new or near new condition. As a guideline, if you can get it easily or reasonably in town - we don't take it. (Example: we accept Lululemon, Guess, BEBE, Wilfred, Free People, TNA, Talula, MK, Miss Me, Silver Jeans, Rock Revival, Karv, Jacob, Mexx, Banana Republic, Club Monaco, Jones NY, Nine West, Frye, Coach, Kate Spade... To name a few)

We do not accept: House brands from our local mall & area such as Suzy Shier, Bluenotes, Aldo, Style & Co, Jessica, Kismet, Le chateau, Garage, Reitmans, Warehouse One, Joe, BUM equipment, Smart Set, Gap, etc...

When do we drop off?

We Love how much you love us! That is why we can now only accept drop offs approximately 1 month per season, otherwise we cannot get through all your beautiful items in time to let them shine in our store!

Dropoff dates are announced approximately 2 months before the season (ex: February we announce spring drop offs etc). We post the announcement on our Facebook page, on our website,(yup right on here, look under DROPOFF DATES for up to date dropoff dates) answering machine and posted on our front door. We try to give you as much notice as possible, but the seasons change sometimes quicker than we all expect, so keep checking!

When we are accepting items, drop off time is Monday to Friday between 2-5 pm only. please respect these times, as it is very hectic to setup drop offs when we are not staffed for them :)

How many items can I bring in?

We ask that you bring us in a minimum of 6 items and a maximum of 2 bags or boxes (or equivalent on hangers). A great rule of thumb on bag sizes... If you carry them in, then they are not too big. Remember to only bring in the season we are accepting! We do not have a ton of back room space, so we really appreciate your cooperation!  All items must be cleaned and ironed, basically ready to go out. If they are folded nicely that is no problem, but if they are too wrinkled, they will not be accepted, sorry!

How do I get paid and how Much?

We pay you 30% cash (READY IN 8 WEEKS) or 50% In-store credit (READY IN 2 WEEKS) for any items we buy. (Ex: if you bring in two pairs of jeans and a top and they go out on the floor for $100 retail, you receive a cheque for $30 or you have $50 to spend on anything in the store.) The reason our customers love bringing us their items to sell from all over BC is we pay you when the clothing goes on the floor....you don't have to wait for it to sell like a consignment shop! It usually takes us approx 4 weeks to get items on the floor, then you come by and pickup your cheque, and any items we didn't choose to buy! It's easy!  Remember pricing is at our discretion, and it's your responsibility to come pickup your cheque... We are reasonable though, sometimes life gets in the way and we all forget things... If your cheque isn't picked up for 6 months, we move it to In-store credit for you to use anytime in the next two years!

Do you do consignment on formal, grad, and bridal gowns?

We sure do! As formal wear is a bit of a different clientele, we run our long formals on actual consignment. 50% cash goes to you when the dress sells, it's that easy! Pricing is again up to us, but if you would like to discuss it before it goes out on the floor for your gown we understand, just let us know when you dropoff and I will call you when I price it before it goes out, so you can decide if you are willing to part with it. We have tons of girls that love our gowns because they can afford them, so we do try to keep our grad gowns priced on the floor for under $300. Please remember the dresses must be cleaned and ready for the floor or they will not be accepted.
