Assess condition and cache
Is what you want to sell a viable item? Here’s what “gently worn” actually means: Clothing must be in good to excellent condition, intact and free of pills, pulls and stains. At Toronto’s I Miss You Vintage and I Miss You Man luxury resale shops, footwear must be nearly new or brand new and from no more than five seasons before. Garments should also be freshly cleaned before being consigned; most resellers steam intake items and use UV wands to disinfect purses and jewellery. (Accessories typically fare better in the consignment world, depend ing on their wear.) When consigning, find out if you’re responsible for any additional third party charges, such as dry cleaning or authentication, on high end goods.
