Your first consignment is done by appointment so that we can create an account for you and do the following:
To schedule an appointment, please call us at 202-667-1122. Following your appointment, your items go out to sell the same day!
These are our most important terms for consigning at Secondi; we will personally review all of the terms of our consignment contract with you during your appointment to make sure we answer any questions you may have!
What we accept at any one time is determined by our current inventory.
March- May:Spring items accepted*
May- August: Summer items accepted*
September/Oct: Fall items accepted*
October-January: Winter items accepted*
_______________
*Please keep in mind that all clothing is contingent upon weather at Secondi! The stated timelines above are simply a guide. At the moment we are accepting fall and winter items. This means pretty dresses for day and evening, boots, sweaters, and outerwear that is unique and/or high-end and will sell quickly. We are accepting fewer skirts, work pants, and lightweight jackets. Due to the fact that fall/winter items are heavier, we are limiting all consignments to 20 items maximum.

Once you’ve consigned with us by appointment, you are free to drop off your items at your convenience! If you haven’t consigned with Secondi before, see above on making a first-time appointment to set up your account.
How to drop off your consignment at Secondi:
1. Complete the Drop-Off Listing Form (downloadable below). You may do this before you come, or in the store–whichever you prefer! If you are bringing in more than one bundle or group of items, we ask a separate item list be filled out for each. However you need sign only one Drop-Off Agreement line per consignment.
2. Bring your items in during drop-off hours (see below); we ask clothing be neatly folded (or on hangers if they are easily wrinkled).
3. Hand them over to one of our staff members; after we make sure that all forms are complete you are free to shop or be on your way!
We process drop-offs on a first-come-first-served basis (on average between 3-7 days) and will email (or mail if you prefer) an itemized list of the items we were able to accept, the prices, and a tally of any donations.
Please note:
We are unable to return items once they have been dropped off. If there are any items that you would prefer to have back if we are unable to accept them, you may prefer to set up an appointment at which time we will be happy to review your items and their prices with you. Any consignment that is mailed in will be considered a drop-off and reviewed as such.
We have changed how we provide Bread for the City donation forms: we now provide, by request, an end-of-the-year donation form that tallies total donations for the year. Please request a Bread for the City form after December 31st.

These are rough guidelines; they are not set in stone. We have more success selling well-known and designer labels than we do with less expensive brands or junior labels (XOXO, Rampage, and Forever 21).
Our general rule is that if it’s hard for you to part with, it will probably sell well!
