After you've worked through all the basics to bringing in consignments like how long your items are showcased, the split, seasons, styles and presentation requirements, there's one more step. You wanna know the knitty gritty of what we take, don't take, and why.
Don'ts:
-Wedding Wear: bride's and bride's maid dresses
-Formals: full length ball gowns
-Bathing Suits
-Lingerie
-Fauxs: Shoes, handbags, jewelry
-Maternity
-Vintage Clothing
Do's:
-Designer Clothing
-Designer Accessories
-Unique and Unusual Items
-Local Artists
-Vintage Handbags and Jewelry
Why?
The Don'ts list are all items which don't sell for us. We have no verifiable demand for them -> meaning when we've carried them they don't sell. Copies are illegal. Femme avoids them.
Audience:
We have found our regular clients are not looking, on their weekly visits, for these types of items. This helps you narrow down your drop off selection to items most likely to be accepted.
Economy:
It's important for an area like DFW to have many consignment/resale boutiques cause we all serve different/over lapping markets. Find a handful you enjoy working with to cover your different clothing needs.
Environment:
Femme is a cozy boutique which demands focus. If we attempt to broaden that focus the store quickly becomes cluttered and stressful instead of pleasant.
Money:
Time is money. If you're in process of moving a wedding dress, let us save you some time. We don't have the demand to service you. Time saved. Money Saved.
