IMPORTANT: AUTHENTIC ITEMS ONLY

We do not accept replica or counterfeit items—no exceptions.

Donating your items instead of consigning is a wonderful way to directly support our nonprofit mission.

We sell authentic handbags, shoes, clothing, jewelry, and accessories.

High-End Designer Bags: We require authentication paperwork (authenticity card and/or original receipt) in order to consign. We do not authenticate items.

We also sell laboratory-grown diamonds/gemstones as well as mined diamonds, and jewelry in gold, white gold, and sterling silver.

Please understand: items will not sell for what you originally paid.
This is resale—recycling, rehoming, and helping each other earn money.

If you are not ready to let go of your items, consigning may not be the best fit.

All items must be:

• Clean, smoke-free (no cigarette smoke), wrinkle-free, and ready to sell
•  Clothing must be on disposable hangers (hangers you do not need back)
• Presented in selling condition (see “Selling Condition” in FAQs)
• If we clean, steam and/or repair any item brought in for consignment you will be charged a fee for this service.
   

We accept all seasons, all years, any size — year-round.
We accept women’s items for consignment. Men’s items may be donated.

Consignments run for 6 months. Once items are entered and placed under contract, they must remain in the store for the full 6 months — no exceptions (see FAQs).

Picking up items early is considered a breach of contract and will result in an administrative fee equal to 20% of the retail ticket price.

Consignments are paid out on a 60/40 split of the final selling price.
Items may be included in store-wide sales, and the ticket price does not reflect the exact amount the consignor will receive.

Payments are issued by DEPOSIT ONLY check, payable to the consignor.

Checks are available on or after the 21st, at the end of your 6-month contract, during regular store hours. If the 21st falls on a closed day, checks will be available the next business day, after you receive a confirmed email stating your check is ready.

Account status requests must be made by email only:

Consignors will receive a count of items brought in. However, it is the consignor’s responsibility to keep a detailed personal list of items for their records.

• Must be clean, smoke-free, and on disposable hangers (no exceptions).

  If picking up high-end items, the consignor is responsible for locating them (unless restricted areas require staff help). High-end items must be picked up within 2 weeks after the contract ends. After 2 weeks, unclaimed items become donation and will be sold for the nonprofit.
   

Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Christian Dior, Hermès, Christian Louboutin, St. John, Misook, Eileen Fisher, Prada, Valentino, Givenchy, and similar brands. Authentic fur items are also considered high-end.

Blooming Butterflies Inc. is our nonprofit supporting:

• Mentorship and support for autistic and special needs young adults
   

Our trained team prices items fairly based on our policy and consignor minimums.

An administrative fee of 20% of the retail ticket price per item will be charged at pickup.

At the end of your 6-month term, you must have at least $60 in sales to receive a check. If you don’t meet $60, your balance remains in your account until it reaches the minimum. Checks are deposit-only and available on or after the 21st at the end of your contract. Checks must be picked up within 90 days.

No—checks are never mailed. If you live out of state or travel, you may authorize someone (in writing or via email) to pick it up before the 90-day expiration.

We no longer offer store credit for purchases.

Appointments allow personal attention and typically allow items to be entered into inventory within two days—often the same day.

Clean and free of stains, tears, holes, peeling, scuffs, odors, toe prints (shoes), wrinkles, excessive stretching, discoloration, loose threads, missing beads, etc.

Donations and items donated at contract end support Blooming Butterflies Inc. Donation tax forms are available upon request via email.
