What Should you Consign?

So, now that you've cleaned out your closet to build the perfect capsule wardrobe, here are some tips on what is best to consign, and what to donate.

Donating to a local charity or cause is always a great option for unwanted or worn out clothing, but sometimes there are pieces that you would like to make a return on investment from. Maybe you never wore them or they are hardly worn even though you couldn't resist it in the store. These items would be perfect for consigning! At Gigi's you get 40% of the sale price. We also sell and promote our best pieces on many platforms such as our website, Instagram, and pinterest. This benefits you as a consignor by increasing exposure of your items for sale!

Here are key tips for choosing what to consign:

1. Is it a recognizable brand name?

Shoppers are looking for deals on their current favorite brands available at retail stores. Some of Gigi's best resale brands range from designer labels like Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Gucci, and Chanel to casual classics such as J. Crew, Banana Republic, Free People, Vineyard Vines, and Chico's.

2. Is it in good shape?

Check for stains, rips, tears etc. Gigi's takes pride in providing quality merchandise to our shoppers.

3. Is is current in style?

Gigi's sells styles from the past 2-3 years to provide the newest trends at a great value.

4. Is it current in season?

We are currently taking fall consignments. This would be items for layering and cool weather such as sweaters, boots, long sleeves etc. Save the heavy coats and sweaters for Winter. Keep up to date on our facebook page on when we change seasons.

5. Launder:

We accept cleaned and pressed items on hangers. This makes both our store and your pieces much more attractive. Also check for any needed touch ups like missing buttons, loose threads, etc.
