How it Works – A Renaissance Woman Upscale Fashion Consignment Boutique, Ridgeway ON

Over
the years consignment shopping has come out of the closet so to
speak, with everything from clothing to accessories to furniture
to furnishings it has fast become one of the largest growing industries
of our time.

A Renaissance Woman accepts both clothing and accessories
such as purses, shoes and jewellery as they are also in high demand.

If you are
unsure of what is being accepted along with what season please
refer to the attachment “A Renaissance Woman’s”
Seasonal Calendar or you can simply drop by the boutique or call
289.476.1084 and we will be happy to answer any of your questions.

*Consignment is by appointment only with
a maximum of
20 items per at time of consignment*

A
few do’s and don’ts of consignment…

– Make sure all apparel is in pristine condition
– Dry cleaned or freshly laundered and on hangers
– Current, no more than 2 years old ( exceptions may apply to
classic pieces and these items will be evaluated at the time of
consignment.)
– Items must have labels, zippers working, buttons intact, no
stains, snags, holes or any odours of any kind.

Also Note ** One very important fact to take into consideration
is not cutting off any of the tags off your designer or branded
label items. It is impossible for us to market any item if we
cannot prove either designer or size to the customers. Labels
do command the most money and the quickest sale.

Our aim is
to get the best possible price for your items as it’s the quality
that sells…we’ll be very picky at our intake so please bring
your best items in clean, ready-to-wear condition!

We cannot guarantee that we will accept all items; we make choices
based on our knowledge of shopper preferences and our existing
inventory.

The
Financial Part of Consigning

All Consignors
are issued a number that is uniquely yours and given a receipt
with your items listed at time of intake.

Then each
item will then be itemised by description, size, priced accordingly
and recorded on a more detailed inventory intake form (see following
attachment) then attached to your Consignors Agreement.

Each item
will then be merchandised on the selling floor for a period of
60 days.
40% of the retail selling price of your item will be immediately
credited to your account as your items sell.

Any items
that have not sold within the first 45 days a reduction of 20%
will apply.
Some goods maybe further reduced by up to 50% for special summer
or winter clearance that may be held at the end of that particular
selling season.

We provide
complete details of every item you’ve consigned, what items
have sold and what money is owing to you. And at any time during
the sixty day agreement any monies owing on items that have sold
you may pick up during regular business hours payment is in the
form of cash – for payments greater than $50 a cheque will be
is issued.
