How to Consign
Prepare Your Clothing
Select pieces purchased within the last 2 to 3 years, in style and in no need of repairs or cleaning. Fold them flat in a reusable bag (no garbage bags). Excessively wrinkled items will be passed on. See our brands list and consignment checklist before you come.
Book & Drop
Schedule your drop in the link above. You can drop off anytime during the day you select. One bag per week, roughly 25 items. We presort while you wait for 10 to 15 minutes. You can pick up any items we pass on within two business days or have us donate them. You receive 35% of the selling price. Items are consigned for 60 days.
All Seasons
We accept all seasons, all the time. We store mid to high tier off-season pieces and put them out when they will sell best. Off-season storage requires a minimum retail value of $90 per piece. Not sure what is appropriate for the season? Check in with us. We are happy to help.
Check Your Consignor Portal
Let us handle the busy work while you make the money. Follow the status of your items on the Consignor Portal via our website. Pick up funds anytime, or use your store credit for shopping in-store or online.

Check the underarms
Deodorant marks and underarm staining are the number one reason we pass on a piece. Check both sides in good light, and give it a wash or a gentle stain treatment before you bring it in.
Check for pilling on knit trims
Cotton knits pill under the arms and along neck edges. A quick fabric shaver run fixes most of it.
If you can smell it, we can't sell it
Sunscreen and summer sweat linger. Air it out or wash before you bring it in.
Check the hem and lining
Summer dresses live at the hem. Snags, loose threads, and torn linings are the most common no's.
We celebrate our Vermont Style!
We love that casual style in Zippy (aka Manchester, VT). We are always most comfortable in linen, jeans, and sandals in summer, cashmere sweaters and boots come fall. We tend to steer clear of high heels. They are tough to walk in on those dirt roads. We love to get dressed up for dining out or a homey dinner party. When it comes to special events, we look for casual to semi-formal wedding guest attire, not wedding party. Business attire is a slow go for us, so we aren't taking much in business slacks and no suits.
