How to Consign
Consigning
at Velvet Beret
is easy.
Call or email us
to set an appointment to bring in the items you'd like to consign.
We will go through your Things with you to decide which items we think will have
the best chance
of selling in our shop
and that are
seasonally appropriate.
​
We ask that you
bring your things in
clean, pressed,
and on hangers.
Which items
have the best chance of selling
in our shop?
Items that are
as current as possible
(with the exception
of true vintage items),
are seasonal,
and are in excellent condition
(clean and free
of snags, tears,
holes, stains, etc.)
​
High end
designer label items
stay relevant longer,
so even if these pieces
are a few years old,
they are still in demand.
Consignment shoppers
are always on the hunt
for designer handbags, shoes, and accessories
so those pieces tend to sell very well in the store.

The Details
The consignment period
is 3 months and
we offer a 50/50 split
on most items.
you will be given
a higher split
on high end
designer pieces.
We will go over
all of this with you during
your appointment.
​
Pricing
We research each piece
and then
set prices accordingly.
Our goal is
to price items to sell
within 30 days
without a markdown.
We will discuss acceptable pricing
of any high end
designer pieces
with you
before we put them
into inventory.
​
Items on the floor
are subject to markdowns
or discounts,
but high end pieces
will not be
marked down.
If we receive offers
on those items,
we will contact you
and you can
accept, or counter
with a price.
​
What Happens
to Unsold Items?
At the end of the consignment period, you must contact us
if you would like
to collect your things.
We'll let you know
when they will be ready.
Otherwise,
they will become
the property
of Velvet Beret.
We will donate them
at our discretion.
Presently,
donations are made
to the RI chapter
of Dress for Success.
