What Type Of Items Are Accepted?
We accept like new, up-to-date
maternity clothing that has been freshly laundered or
dry-cleaned.
(Items must be a maternity
specific brand.
We do not take
undergarments or pajamas.
Swimsuits in like-new
condition will be considered.)
Clothing must be in near
perfect condition and ready to sell when it arrives to
the store – no buttons missing, broken zippers, tears,
pilling, stains or odors.
The better the item looks, the more likely it is to sell
and the more money you will receive.
Clothing must be
pressed
and either on hangers or be neatly folded .
It is
very important to bring items in without wrinkles. This
helps your items to sell much faster.
Our customers look for a
variety of brands and styles of clothing. We offer
everyday brands like Gap, Old Navy, and Motherhood as
well as higher end brands such as Mimi Maternity, Pea in
the Pod, Olian, Sweet Pea, Japanese Weekend and
Babystyle.
Higher
end brand name items tend to have the best resale
turn-around.
We
look for all styles of clothing from business attire and
formal dresses to jeans and t-shirts.

Is An Appointment
Necessary For Consigning?
Yes, the first step is to call for an appointment to
bring in your clothing.
We know your time is valuable, that is why we
require appointments. We never want you to have to wait
while we assist someone else! We are very flexible with
appointment times:

What Happens At The
Appointment?
At the time of your appointment,
we briefly inspect your items giving you back any items
we feel are not sellable. The standard drop-off
lasts approximately 15-20
minutes, depending on the
number of items you wish to consign. We will inspect the
items more closely at the time they are entered into the
computer. We do occassionally miss a spot or problem
during the drop-off appointment. If items are found to
be unacceptable during the formal inventory you will be
contacted to return and
pick
up the items. If the items are not picked up within one
week they are given to charity, as we do not have the
space
to
store them for you.

Is There A Contract?
At your appointment we will have a one-page, simple
consignment contract for you to read and sign.
Click here to view the contract online.

How Are Items Priced?
Items are priced by the store
manager during the formal inventory.
Prices are determined based
on retail sales value.
We try to price items
between 1/3 and ½ of their retail sales price. You will
receive 50% of the sale price on "Higher-End" items
(brands such as Mimi Maternity or Pea in the Pod).
You will receive 40% of
items for all other items (brands such as GAP, Old Navy
and Liz Lange).
Please trust that your
items will be priced at the market rate for resale
clothing.
We
want you to feel good about leaving your items with us
and you have the right to change your mind about
consigning any items for any reason.
If you don't agree with the
pricing, the items can be
picked
up by you at any time.
We do ask that you contact
the store a minimum of 24 hours before arriving to pick
up items so that they can be ready for you when you
arrive.
Our goal is to make the
consigning experience better than you expected.

Do Items Get Marked Down?
Yes, we mark down clothes as follows: 10% after 30 days,
20% after 60 and 30% after 90 days.

of the next month.)

$25 or more at the end of any given month will receive
payment.
Accounts totaling less than
$25 at the end of the month carry over to the following
month.

How Long Are Items Kept?
Your items will be kept in the
store through the end of the season. The Spring/Summer
season concludes the end of August.
Fall/Winter
season concludes the end of February. At the end of
every season we have a 1/2-price sale on all remaining
items from that season in the store.
back to top
If You Change Your Mind
You can pick up items at ANY time during the season with
no penalty fees. If you decide that you don’t want to
sell an item for any reason at any time, call to have
items pulled for you. We request a 24-hour notice so
that we can have your items ready and waiting for you
when you arrive.
back to top
Where Do My Unsold Items
Go?
If you do not contact us by the
end of the season, the items that do not sell will be
donated to charity.
If
you ask to pick up unsold items we do require that all
items are picked up within 2 weeks of the season ending.
At this time, unclaimed
items will be donated to charity.
