Tagging Instructions:
All items must be clean, with no missing parts, and in good condition.
A maximum of 200 items per consignor will be accepted.
Place all garments on hangers with the hook facing to the left (like a question mark ?). If you have a set, safety pin the set together before placing on the hanger to ensure they stay together. Keep those cute hats, booties, and pants with their partners!
We love boutqiue items! Click on the boutique items button for more details and tagging instructions.
ONLY seasonal items will be accepted.
Attach your tag to the top right of each garment with a 1-inch or larger safety pin OR you may use a tagging gun. (see photo example below) You may tag items under the arm if using a tagging gun.
Two piece outfits must be hung with the shirt on the hanger as normal, then flip the hanger around and pin the pants or skirt to the back of the hanger (through the shirt as well). This allows for both pieces to be seen easily and prevents pants/skirts from being lost.
All pants, skirts, and bottoms of any kind must be pinned to the hanger.
Clothing items with accessories (i.e., booties, hats, hair bows) may be pinned on the front of the matching item, preferably secured in a zip-top bag.
Toys and equipment must be securely tagged with packaging tape.
