When do I bring clothing in? Do I need an appointment?

We prefer that you would make an appointment. It would be best if you called the store before coming in to check on what season we are taking and if we are accepting consignment drop offs at this time. 

• If you have more than 50 items to bring in we would prefer that you make an appointment.
• If you already consign with us and you have Less than 50 you can come in during regular business hours ( However,there can be an hour wait while we go through your clothes)

Appointments can be made during regular business hours MON - SUNDAY

BEST TIMES- Seasonal dates for consignments are:

  FALL & WINTER = March  - August (clothing brought in after August will be late on the floor)

  SPRING & SUMMER = September  - January ( "Don't worry about being late" we sell Spring/Summer all year on the sales floor)

 We still WILL accept clothing after these seasonal dates however, they may not sell at the best time in the season.

ANYONE WITH AN APPOINTMENT WILL BE SERVED FIRST!
