How Resale works

Hi there,

Congratulations, at last you have made the decision to clear out some of the clothes you no longer wear! We can assist...

So you went shopping with the wrong friend who told you how fabulous you looked but you feel like a whale whenever you wear it; OR it’s the dress you bought for the “carnation pink colour scheme” required at the wedding you didn’t want to attend. Did you put on the Covid 10kgs or you just like buying clothes to give them a home?

Whatever the reason you are reading this because you want to make changes and a bit of moolah won’t go amiss.

We are a consignment store.

That means we take your clothes in, price them, put them on the rails and work our arses off to sell them, then pay you 40% of what the items sell for, at the end of the consignment period (which is 2 months).  Your phone goes ping and money is in your account -  Simple.

We are seasonal

The Brands we love – Trenery, Country Road, Witchery, Gap, Rare Earth, Habits, Zara, Sea folly, Mango, Old Khaki, Yarra Trail, Desray, Guess, Vero Moda, Michelle Ludek, Made in Italy, any European and American fabulous brands.  Gucci and Louis Vuitton would not be a miss either.

Condition – The clothes need to be:

Clean, free of sun damage, pilling, snags, discolouration, bobbling, handbag rub on the boob area, zips in working condition, no yellow armpits or foundation on collars, elastic not perished, no attic pong, moth ball pong (some people love it - most do not...we do not!). If you are a smoker, please make sure your clothes are washed and sealed in a bag before bringing in, as smoke has a sneaky habit of penetrating fabric and sadly we do not launder.

Clothes should not be more than 5 years old unless it’s a real classic.  Unique and newer clothes, the better.

Shoes…..ahhhh shoes…..how times have changed! 

You can leave the heels at home, we do not take heels.  Next time you in the queue at Woolies, look down, everyone is wearing Vans, Levis, Nike, ie, a takkie.  We sell those and flat sandals in Summer, and flat boots in Winter. They too need to be clean.  If not, give them a spin in the washing machine on cold (hot will shrink the inside! – not the boots, the takkies!!)

Handbags – we prefer leather. Pleather perishes and peels- even the new ones.

 

What happens to your unsold items?  

You have choices - DONATE or RETURNED

1 – At the end of your consignment we bring the prices down to move the last pieces. I.E, it goes on a SALE rail and is reduced gradually. This way you get the last chance to make some moolah before it is DONATED.

2 – The items go on the sale rail at a slightly reduced price and if it doesn’t sell, those items will be packed up and RETURNED to you.

We have a “Cheap as Chips” sale at the close of every month. These are items that YOU HAVE SAID WE COULD DONATE. This all adds up and we take these proceeds to homes / shelters and Charity’s in need.

Payment – As I mentioned in the beginning, you receive 40% of the total sum of what your clothes sell for, I do an EFT into your account and you will get an SMS notification. Then you come spend that money in our shop and start again.

 

Hope that covers all the question, if not feel free to contact us on
