How to Consign with Us

While we do accept a wide variety of women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories, there are a variety of items we do not accept. Please contact us if you have questions about specific brands.

This includes:
• Traditional professional office wear (suits, unless they can be sold as separates)
• Used swimsuits/intimates/pajamas (including socks, tights, undergarments)
• Wedding gowns and other formalwear
• Locally-available big-box brands from Walmart, Kohls, Target (some exceptions might be made)
• Fast fashion brands like Amazon, Shein, and others.

Other Considerations
We occasionally accept high-end costume jewelry that is non-precious metals and stones (Brighton is a good example), but we prefer sterling silver, gold, and other non-reactive materials like fabric, thread, wool, etc. Swimsuits/socks/pajamas may be accepted ONLY if they are brand-new in the packaging.

Items should be in excellent like-new condition. We have high standards for what we’ll take, so be sure to pre-screen your items and do your best to ensure they are in ready-to-sell condition.

At the time of the drop off, all items must meet the following standards – no exceptions:

• Freshly laundered or dry cleaned as appropriate
• No stains/odors, holes or tears, pills or pulls, broken zippers, missing buttons or other fasteners that affect the usability of the item
• Items with excessive pet hair or smelling of smoke or mildew will not be accepted – NO EXCEPTIONS
• Clothing should be neatly folded in bags, bins, or boxes – please do not shove items tightly into containers as this may cause wrinkles in garments
• Shoes must be paired together
• Jewelry must be in good condition (minimal tarnish, no obvious flaws) and earrings must be in pairs; pendants should ideally come with a chain, but this is not 100% required depending on the quality of the pendant

Due to staffing and storage limitations, we must set standards for item limits.

• If dropping by with no appointment, please limit items to under 10. We may or may not have time to review these items for you as you wait, depending on how the day is going. If you are a NON donator, please plan on waiting a little longer than usual, or come back later in the day to pick up any items we cannot take.
• Small appointments may bring UP TO 20 items.
• Large appointments may bring UP TO 50 items. Anything larger than that requires special advance approval from staff; please call after making your Large appointment online to verify that we will have time on your chosen day to review everything.
• There are no appointments on Saturdays, because this is our busiest sales day, but if you need us to make an exception, please call and we will schedule an appointment for you.
• Please do not bring in any more than 10 jewelry items at a time unless you get advance approval from the store.

• *If you choose to have all unaccepted items donated, we may accept consignment intake outside of regular consignment hours.

• There is a $0.50 processing fee for checks. If you need the check to be mailed, the total processing cost will be $1.50.

• Consignors have one year from the date their item sold to request payment for that item. After a year, the unclaimed balance will expire and revert to the shop. Contact us if you feel you need special consideration.

• You may choose to use your balance as in-store credit, but we cannot accommodate a payout and use of in-store credit in the same day, unless your payout is under $50 and in cash.

• Jewelry items of lower value expire on the same schedule as clothing (60 days); higher-value items (over $15) do not expire until we feel they have been around for too long. We will contact the consignor if multiple items are being expired. If this is important to you, please keep track of higher-value items in your account and come reclaim them if they have been on the floor for more than 120 days. (4 months)

• High-value couture items: We try our best to ensure that all items being sold are what they claim to be. We will NEVER sell items we know or suspect to be counterfeit, even labeled as such. If you purchase a high-value item from Persimmon that you later find to not be genuine (through professional authentication services), we will refund your purchase price and the amount you paid for the authentication up to $20.

• Watches: We expect all consigned watches to be in working order, whether or not they have batteries. Our policy is to refund purchase price of any non-functional watch if the buyer has the battery replaced and finds that it is not working. We will deduct that amount from your consignor account and return the watch to you.

• Items we find damaged on the floor: If one of your items is discovered to have a defect after it has been accepted, we will attempt to contact you to return the item to you (if you are a non-donating consignor). We may choose to put the item on sale As-Is, or for donators, we may just donate or even discard the item if we feel it is not reparable.
