nce upon a good economy, people didn’t flinch when paying full retail for a designer label or think twice before purchasing an expensive outfit for their precious child who might wear it only a handful of times before outgrowing it. Today, consumers are savvy and smarter with their hard-earned cash, and many are discovering consignment shopping. When you shop consignment, you are able to purchase designer clothing and accessories at greatly reduced prices, helping you stay within your budget. You will find amazing designer pieces at a fraction of their retail value. Consignment shops today are different from what they were in the past. Stores are no longer filled with old merchandise no one would be caught wearing or using. Most carry a wide selection of quality pieces in great condition. In fact, some items have never been used and still have tags on them.

Most consignment stores have a primary focus such as women’s and men’s apparel, furniture and home accessories, or children’s clothing. They accept merchandise on a consignment basis, paying owners a percentage when and if the items are sold. Most pay consignors from 40 to 60 percent of the selling price and have a policy of displaying goods for anywhere from 60 to 90 days, although policies vary widely. Some resale shops also purchase additional items outright from individual owners and/or wholesalers. You never know what treasure you will find in a consignment shop or where an item may have originated. Whether it’s a statement necklace or a vintage handbag, you’ll find unique pieces no one else has. And wearing something unique that flatters you is what fashion is all about. It’s also the sustainable thing to do. Shopping consignment
