It pays to clean out the clothes closet


By Nicole Tsong
Seattle Times staff reporter



Nearly every closet has at least one splurge outfit hanging there in perfectly good shape, a reminder of a rash purchase that didn't work out. It's too precious to give away but takes up coveted space.

That's where consignment stores come in. They are the savvy solution for people with unwanted clothes that deserve a second, fabulous life, and they can garner a little moola in the process. "Somebody else will get really good use out of it," said Paula Iorio-Rosato, of Labels on Phinney Ridge. "So get a little bit of your money back and have somebody else use it."

Consignment shops sell your clothes and typically return 40 percent to 50 percent of the sales price to you at the end of a set time period, usually two to three months. If clothes don't sell, they are returned to the owner or donated to charity.

Victoria Yee, a clothing designer, consigns regularly at Le Frock on Capitol Hill. She can make more money selling handbags and shoes on eBay, she said, but clothes don't photograph as well and people like to touch fabrics.

She brings in clothes that she hasn't worn in months, ones that no longer look good on her and pieces she doesn't like. Consigning also helps her be a more disciplined shopper. She tries to buy unusual, high-quality clothes that will consign well if she doesn't love them.

"I like buying nicer things, and I can sell them back," Yee said. "I view clothes as more of an investment."

Guide to consign

Smart consigning starts with the pieces you bring in and knowing your consignment shop. They all have different aesthetics, and it helps to know what they want.

Consignment shop owners recommend bringing in current items bought in the last three or four years. Designer labels are even better.

One common mistake is to try to consign clothes that are fashion no-nos. If you don't want that Saks Fifth Avenue blazer from 1989, chances are the stores won't either.

"If something's expensive, and if they've had it 10 or 15 years, [they think] it's worth a lot and the fact is it's not," said Alexandra Oncken, owner of Alexandra's Exclusively Designer Label Consignment in downtown Seattle. "It's one of the biggest misconceptions about consignment."

It's also wise to have realistic expectations. Consigning will not get your money back from the original purchase. Shops sell pieces for up to one-third of the retail price, depending on the condition and the brand.

"People kind of forget if you get it brand new in a store, brand new means it's never left the store," said Gentry Michaels, who works at Le Frock. "You can get things on sale at a department store for up to 70 percent off. Come to a store like this, it has to be at least 70 percent [off]."

Here are some other consigning tips:

• Call ahead. Some stores' consignment appointments are booked up for two months. Others will take pieces you bring in that day.

• Accessories sell well. Bring in jewelry, handbags, scarves and hats in good condition.

• Stay seasonal. Most stores don't have storage for pieces out of season, so bring in winter clothes in fall and in early winter, and summer clothes in spring and in early summer.

• Designer labels sell. Labels sell better and are a requirement for some high-end consignment stores.

• Use care. Make sure the items are in good condition. Stores won't take pieces with buttons missing, shoes with uneven tread and so on.

• Be flexible. A consignment store has a specific audience, and might send you elsewhere if the owners feel they can't sell an item.

• Be patient. Your item may be on the floor for two to three months and possibly longer if the store puts it on sale.

• Check the kids' clothes. A few consignment stores sell children's clothes.

"You can save so much money all the way up until 8, 9, 10, when it kind of dies and they stop growing so quickly," said Wendy Douglas, owner of Me N Moms.

Selling direct

If you don't want to wait for your money, selling clothes for cash is another option. Some consignment boutiques buy for cash in addition to consignment, while other stores specialize in cash purchases. You typically will receive less money than from consignment, however. For example, Le Frock offers around 25 percent of what employees think the item will sell for whereas consignors receive 40 percent of the final sale.

Michaels encourages people with nicer or more unusual pieces to consign. The store prices it a little higher to see if it will sell, and also will put it on sale. The trade-off is that the piece might not find a new owner.

"The best consignors recognize you're going to do the job for them," Oncken said. "If something doesn't sell at the price you thought it would, it's because nobody bought it. We just keep marking things down and have a sale rack in the back as a last-ditch effort to get something for a piece."

Designer Luxury Daily - Gucci Scarves

Like designer handbags, you can never have too many designer scarves. Not only are designer scarves versatile, you can wear them as a hairband, belt or around the neck and even tied to your handbag, but designer scarves are timeless fashion accessories that can make an outfit look very modern. Accessorize with your favorite wool shift dress, or pair it with a mini mod skirt and you instantly look tres chic. Here's a designer scarf by Gucci that will transform that boring work attire into something Angelina would wear. Try it with a black pencil skirt and mile-high patent leather t-straps. We never knew scarves could be sexy.

The £13,000 alligator skin handbag

(NOTE. Currency Conversion for $1.00USD is 0.51GBP. In other words, the 13,000GBP handbag would cost about $26,000USD.)

Let me tell you about the latest fashion must-have. It is made from either matte or glossy "exotic" skins, meaning deeply cruel and unsustainable python or alligator.

It comes in cherry red, metallic blue and a deep, lustrous gold. It is quite slouchy, and, at almost a foot long, is fashioned in the shape of a crescent. Tucked inside, amid a pure silk lining, is a discreet gold plate, upon which your initials will be engraved. Scroll down for more...

The bag's rivets and fastenings are made from handfinished vintage gold. When you take delivery of this new, fiercely-fought-over accessory, it will be in its own limited-edition quilted leather box, a bit like a coffin. The name of this bag? The Burberry Warrior, studded as it is with pseudo Roman coins. The price tag of this ridiculous item? £13,000. Burberry is an "exclusive" brand (meaning the shop assistants are snooty, the prices sky-high) that likes to celebrate its British heritage. It did indeed invent the trench coat, which became vital for keeping soldiers in the trenches warm and dry, but like most "luxury" brands it now manufactures most of it's garments and accessories in the Far East. There are other Burberry bags on offer this season (including the Beaton, the Bloomsbury and the Manor; I told you they like to harp on about their heritage) but it is the Warrior that is causing so much excitement. The bag (for that is what it is; something in which to stash your bus pass and your lippy - although this one also has pockets for your iPhone and iPod) was first launched at an 'exclusive' (goodness, how that word has been demeaned. Scroll down for more...

Every time I use it just exchange it in your head for "moronic" instead) series of soirees in stores in London, Las Vegas, Beverly Hills, Milan, Rome, Madrid, Kuwait and Moscow; you note they didn't launch it in Chelmsford, or Kabul. The giddy height of the top end of the Burberry price range has enabled the brand to increase the average price point of its handbags by more than 25 per cent. Sod the economic downturn, the troubles in Kenya and Pakistan, and global warming, there were enough over-Botoxed, impossibly spherical-breasted women lining up to buy the latest in a long list of obscenely expensive handbags that the Warrior promptly sold out (the oxymoronic £100,000 Chanel Forever, anyone? Or how about the £23,484 Louis Vuitton Tribute?) While I can understand that the wives of Russian oligarchs or Las Vegas gangsters might hanker after a gold piece of arm candy, I am intrigued to find out who on earth in London has felt compelled to put her name down on the Warrior waiting list. Jenny Eagle, 33, works for a celebrity agency called First Artists Management, is single and lives in Twickenham. Scroll down for more...

She says she received a hefty Christmas bonus this year, and that instead of frittering it away on designer clothes or shoes she is going to splash most of it on the gold version. "I put my name down for it early this week, and I am so excited! This will be the most I have ever spent on a handbag, and I know people will think it an extortionate amount, but to me this will be an investment and, hopefully, a family heirloom." Hmmm. And then a clearly successful and intelligent woman reveals the real reason she hankers after this bag. "I work in the celebrity business and rubbing shoulders with top celebs such as Kate Moss and Sienna Miller, you start to long for their designer accessories." Proof, surely, that no matter how sensible we think we are, we are all in awe of the stupid, tiny women who populate our red carpets, women who are nonetheless too bright to carry anything other than a freebie. Jenny goes on: "I know most people will think it's only millionaires buying these bags, but there are a lot of single, professional women like me who work hard for their money, and feel this is the ultimate luxury treat. "I don't have children to spend money on, so this is my way of pampering myself." It is funny, isn't it, how the notion of "pampering" yourself and being hardworking and independent have become so intricately linked with the notion of spending money on something that is gaudy and that we don't really need. It is almost as if we are trying to buy love, or happiness. A similar story is told by 28-year-old Xenia Xenophontos, a senior PR manager, who has a flat in Central London which she shares with more than 55 designer handbags, all pristine in their little cloth bags, their authentication certificates tucked neatly in the pockets, and all kept at exactly the right temperature. Scroll down for more...

She, too, is unashamed to say she has put her name down for a Warrior. "When I produce mine everyone will notice, and it will bring me a lot of kudos. "I buy bags both as an investment and because they are so beautiful. "I love them so much I even research the history of handbags. "My friends tease me, and I am well known in stores like Selfridges, where I place orders fo
