No appointment needed! We accept drop offs anytime during our business hours. If you would like to wait for your items to be processed, please call first to make sure we have the staff available to process items on demand. See our How We Work page for more details.
Yes, you can. You can drop off your items anytime during business hours, but don’t forget to come back later to pick up your cash/credit and the items that we cannot take. We ask you to come back within 24 hours of being notified that your items have been reviewed.
Please allow a few minutes to fill out paperwork if this is your first time selling with us.
Our customers are looking for women’s adult sizes in excellent condition. They love contemporary and unique designer brands. Trendy vintage sells well too! Business attire, swimsuits, undergarments, bodysuits and basic athletic clothing don’t sell. Designer athletic wear does do well. We are always looking for jewelry, handbags, accessories and shoes. We do not take children’s clothes.
A good rule of thumb is to bring in your ready to sell pieces that your friends would want. If it is damaged, stained, pilled or has an odor - donate it. As much as we love our furry friends, please make sure everything is free of pet hair.
We selectively buy items based on season, style, condition and customer demand. Please bring your freshly laundered items in one or two tote bags (no hangers, trash bags or boxes please!).

We give you cash or store credit once we’ve reviewed your clothes. We can also pay you via Venmo or check. We keep track of your store credit for you and it never expires!
So many terms, isn't it all the same!? Not quite. Consignment is when the consignor gets paid after the items sells. Thrift is when items are donated and then sold (this is usually nonprofit). Vintage simply means the item is more than 20 years old. Resale (that's us!) is when items are bought outright and then resold.
We buy directly from people here on Nantucket Island. This means we get beautiful pieces from literally all over the world! We buy from people who are just visiting, summer residents and Nantucket locals. This creates a wonderful and unique collection that we are always excited to share with you!
