HOW IT WORKS

 

                               HOW CONSIGNMENT WORKS AT NORMA JEAN’S CLOSET

CLOTHING CONSIGNMENT
Consignment is a fantastic way to redirect your clothing and accessories that you no longer use. It allows you to pay it forward to our community of fabulous women in Gresham.  Whether you love recycling, or have a few shopping mistakes in your wardrobe, we are here to help you.  Our store offers a warm environment for both our consignors and shoppers to buy and sell contemporary items in excellent condition.
Part of the success of our business is that we are highly selective.  Let us help you identify what items work best for our consignment process.

YOU ARE LIMITED TO BRINGING IN 15 ITEMS PER VISIT.  ONE VISIT PER WEEK.  CLOTHING SIZES XS-2X.

CONSIGNMENT SPLIT IS 40% (consignor) and 60% (to be split by owners 30% each)
                                             
IS IT RIGHT FOR CONSIGNMENT?

WAS THE ITEM PURCHASED WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS?
We specialize in the most contemporary items.  Accessories may be an exception to the age limitations.

WAS THE ITEM CLEANED SINCE THE LAST TIME YOU WORE IT?
We do our best to only take in only items that are in new, like new or excellent condition, free of stains, holes, or odors.  If you would like us to review items before going to the expense of dry cleaning, we can do that at any time.

IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD WEAR HERE IN GRESHAM IN THE NEXT 3 MONTHS?
We only take items in that are seasonally appropriate.  Our seasons follow these parameters:
Spring Feb-April, Summer May-August, Fall Sept-November, Winter November-January

WHAT CONDITION ARE YOUR SHOES IN?
Are there any toe prints, shoe pads or scrapes in the leather of your shoes?  Any flaws need to be repaired before consignment.

                                                                                                                                                                     PLEASE LEAVE ALL ITEMS ON HANGERS
 This helps us see your items easier and keeps them in better condition.  Exceptions to this rule are jeans and all accessories.  We will always switch out your hangers upon acceptance so you may take them with you.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT INTIMATE ITEMS.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT FUR COATS.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT BRIDAL WEAR, MOTHER OF THE BRIDE/GROOM DRESSES, PROM.

WE DO NOT ACCEPT ALFRED DUNNER, CROFT & BARROW, APT. 9, GOODWILL, WALMART, K MART OR THRIFT STORES.

   HOW TO CONSIGN

Consignment is accepted during our normal business hours.  We will look at your items right away and let you know what will work before you leave.  Please call ahead to be sure it is a good time to consign and what season we are taking.
Any overlooked issues (dry cleaning, repairs or laundering) will incur appropriate service charges and will be deducted from your account.
Consigned items are left here for a 2  month cycle, items cannot be returned early per the contract, no exceptions.
We do our best to price items competitively in the resale market.  Prices are not determined on the spot. We always research comparable items in the current retail market and price accordingly.  Higher coveted designer bags may be priced higher due to demand.  If you remember how much you have invested into an item, please let us know and we can take that into consideration.
All consigned items follow the markdown process listed below.  The only exception to this rule is our jewelry and shoes with no markdowns unless authorized by the consignor.

  MARKDOWN PROCESS                                                                                                          1st/2nd Month     Norma Jean’s original price
  Last week garments will be 30% off original price

Going forward we will have 2 store wide sales a year, all items in the store will be marked down to 50% of their original price point, regardless of their consigned timeline.  These sales will always be  over the Super Bowl weekend in February and the last weekend in August.  It is a great time to purge any last remaining seasonal items. There will be other sales during the year determined by the owners if business needs a boost or for Black Friday, Small Business Days or various holidays.
