I don't understand, how does consignment work?
In a nutshell - consignment is an agreement between you, the consignor, and I, the owner. You allow us to sell your items in our store, in return we share the profit - it’s a 50% / 50% split,
in-store credit only.
Why would I consign and not just try and sell it myself?
Legit questions.
Personally, we never enjoyed the hours spent answering Facebook inquires, scheduling pick ups, dealing with no shows…so the benefit of consignment is that you earn money by doing very little work!
(easy money honey).
Do I need to make
an appointment?
Nope, just swing by any time during the week. We don't look through your stuff on "on the spot", cause it can be weird, so you just leave them with us and we get to it when we have some down time.
How long do you keep my items for?
The consignment period is for 3 months. At the end of the 3 months, whatever hasn't sold will be donated. We have many organizations we donate to such as Lanark Interval House.
What brands do you accept/not accept?
That's a hard one cause, to be honest, labels don't really matter, right?
But for real, here are a few brands we tend to like: Artitzia, Athropoligie, Free People, Club Monaco, Frank and Oak, Lululemon, anything linen (I’m a sucker for linen), Stüssy, Vans, Nike, Levi’s...you get the gist!
What happens once you've sold my item(s)?
If your items sell, you'll get a store credit. Sadly, there will be no payout options.
You can always check out your info via the Ricochet Go app.
Sold, what do I need to know before I head over to LIDA's?
Cool, so stoked to be doing business with you - here’s what you need to consider before heading over:
Is your stuff in season?
Sept – Nov: Accepting Fall clothing
(chunky sweaters, hoodies, long sleeves, jeans, active wear, joggers and sets, fall jackets). *think cozy, sitting by the fire on cool nights...
Early November: Accepting Winter Outerwear & accessories
(thicker jackets, leather gloves, cute beanies).
Feb – July: Accepting Spring & Summer clothing
(shorts, tanks, skirts, lightweight pants, sundresses, swimsuits (liner & tags must be attached).
We love all natural fibers; we'll never refuse linen, wool, cashmere or silk!
*Sometime...our shelves get too full, so to allow us time to "catch up", we temporary close our intake for a little bit. We post updates on our Socials make sure to follow us.
Is your stuff current?
We focus on current trends only. Meaning, if you're items were purchased more then 5-7 years ago, they may not fit our vibe. We really stick to current, street style fashion.
Amount:
30 items or less - folded or laid flat. Please, don’t bring your stuff in a suitcase, garbage bags or on hangers - not the look we're going for. A tote bag will do just fine!
Condition:
MUST BE CLEAN (trust me, I know when it's not), excellent used condition, smoke-free, no smells or pet hairs. We won’t accept dirty, stained or damaged items (let’s not waste our time, we don’t want to go through your dirty laundry)!!!
Gender & Size inclusive:
Although we don't carry "masculine" clothing, we love gender neutral clothing. Gender diversity celebrates gender and body diversity in the spirit of free expression! We take XXS to XXL, if you don’t see your size – consign with us.
We don't accept: shoes, intimate or sleep wear.
