What is consignment? 

Consignment is when you bring an item of clothing to be sold at our shop and when it sells, you make a percentage of the sale. It values clothing beyond its first life. 

What kind of clothing and accessories do you accept?

Our team takes several factors into account when selecting items, including style, brand, fabric, overall condition, and current stock levels. We’re sourcing trendy, mid- to high-end street fashion and luxury items. We are always looking for sustainable fashion and small scale local brands. We also welcome eclectic and vintage styles in excellent condition.
Here is what we DON’T accept: fast-fashion brands, wedding and bridesmaid gowns, prom dresses, jewellery, new furs, business attire and office-wear sets. We are unable to accept items that are not freshly cleaned.

What are the drop-off times and how many items can I bring in?

No appointment needed! Our drop off days are Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays between 11 am and 4 pm.  Bring in a maximum of 20 items and we will have a look through your items.

Who determines the selling price and what's the commission?

We do, our experience has given us the knowledge of resale value and an understanding of the worth in our community. If you have any questions about our pricing please reach out. The consignor receives 40% of the selling price for items under $100 and 50% for items selling over $100 and on items that are from sustainable, small scale brands.

How long are items on the floor?

Consignment duration is 60 days, giving your items time to find their perfect match. After 45 days, we reduce the price (unless your items are priced over $50 and you have requested to have them returned to you. If your items don’t find a home, we'll lovingly donate them to the Comox Valley Transition Society. If you would like your items returned to you if they don't sell, let us know during drop-off, and we’ll email you when it’s time to pick them up. Please note that 2 weeks after notification, we donate any unclaimed items.
