Consignment Policy

Call for a brief assessment. We seek designer, new or gently worn, clean pieces. Make an appointment to allow us to observe condition and authenticity. Clothes do not have to be hung on hangers as we might press them.

Depending on their quality and quantity, we can arrange a pick-up of your items, limited to the five boroughs of NYC and parts of Long Island, New Jersey, Westchester, and Connecticut. Beyond these areas, you should ship the items to us. We do not cover shipping costs.

We reserve the right to reject items deemed unsuitable for resale at any time. We are not responsible for the damage to or loss of consigned goods.
