Things to Think About
Take a good look at each item you're considering for consignment and ask yourself "Why am I interested in selling/trading this item?"
If the answer is "It's a beautiful garment and I love it, BUT"
* it will never fit me again
* it's just not my color
* my lifestyle has changed and I'll never wear it again
* it was an impulse buy and it just isn't "me"
You're on the right track. Bring 'em in!
If the answer is:
* it's more than 3 years old (with the exception of vintage items)
* it's worn out
* it needs repair
* it looks dated or out of style
* it's not very good quality
* I just want all this old stuff out of my closet
Shoppers would feel the same way you do about these things so it's unlikely The Trusty Threads will accept them. You might consider making a charitable donation of these garments.
Preparing Your Garments
Clean and fragrance-free sells the best! The cleanliness and appearance of your garments is crucial. All garments must be freshly dry cleaned or laundered. They do not have to be on hangers, but neatly in a bag or box.
We urge you to check each garment in bright daylight for:
* soil/stains especially around collars, cuffs, underarms and crotch areas
* missing/loose buttons and closures
* torn/stained linings
* faded or uneven colors
* problems with zippers
* snags, pills in knitwear
* holes or tears, don't forget to check the seams
* lint or pet hair
