No, not all brands are accepted. We have a table of accepted/not

When does new stock come in?

I aim to have a new drop every second Wednesday. Next drop date will be announced on my instagram and also at the top of the home page.

Who decides the price of the items?

I'll do that for you!

When finding the right price for your items I take a number of
factors into consideration when selling preloved clothing, such as, RRP, condition, brand and current resell value.

I decide prices that are fair to you as a consignor but also fair
for the customer.

What happens to items that don't sell?

If your item's don't sell within 6 weeks of being listed I will put them on sale and if they still don't sell for another 6 weeks you have three options:

  • I can purchase them
    from you at 25% of the current list pricing (eg. if something is on sale for $20 you will get $5 for that item.
  • I can return them to you at your cost
  • I can donate to mums4mums- a charity dedicated to new mums.

Can I add more to my order?

You are welcome to add more to your order up until you receive your shipping email. To do this place another order and put a note in the cart saying you are adding onto *order number* and select pick up.

Do you offer returns or exchanges?

I totally get how hard shopping online can be. If you receive your
items and they don't fit or you don't like the style etc. you are welcome to return them at your cost within 7 days of receiving them.

If you receive an item that is in worse condition than stated and
wish to return it I will cover the cost of postage.

As we are a second hand store we are unable to offer exchanges,
however, you are welcome to return items and exchange for anything else that is available on the website.

Please email me with your order number and reason for return-
