how to consign

We are no longer accepting items for consignment due to our pending closure Sept 25th

Any consignor with an open account was contacted via email to advise of our closure in August. We suggested items be picked up by the end of August to avoid any loss of items. If an account had already or was due to expire naturally on or before August 31,2020 contact was not made, as outlined in the contract given at time of drop off, it is consignors responsibility to maintain good account status. Again, any contract which was cut short was contacted at the email addresses provided to advise of our closure and request dress pick up. Any financial amounts owning have been or will be paid out by Sept 26th, 2020. We thank all the consignors for working with our shop and helping make us great!

Any dresses that were scheduled to expire between March and June

have been extended until July 1st to allow time and opportunity to pick up if desired.

We have made the difficult decision to hold off on accepting more dresses at this time. This is for a couple of reasons.

It will allow us to maintain and increase space in the shop
It will allow us to increase the likeliness that we are maintaining the cleanest environment.
It will allow us time to ensure we can recover from the closures which were necessary. (Which we anticipate)

Please wait to submit your entries for consideration until this has been lifted.

Your dress was beautiful

... and you looked amazing in it. The truth of the matter is we cannot accept all dresses and need to stay focused on what brides these days are looking for. We don't want to put a "Best Before" date on our intake, but ideally it should have been worn in the last 0-7 years. Exceptions will be made. Some dresses 5 years old, we know aren't moving as well as others. Vintage is making a come back - however - vintage is a style and not all dresses from 20-50 years ago will fit the bill.

We are not a thrift store

Everyone wants the shopping experience to remember and a perfect dress. No pet hair, no stains or visible damage. (Example grass stains on the underside is ok, no one will see that anyway - but a foot print on the train is not ok)

For a dress to be accepted it needs to arrive clean (Shoot us a message - believe it or not, sometimes a front load washing machine can do the trick to save dry cleaning fees)

Gather your information

When did you wear it? What colour is it? What size was the dress originally? Did you do any alterations? Who was the designer? Was there a style name or number? Do you have it (You can sometimes call the place you bought it from to get this information). How much was your dress originally? (Remember things like accessories, taxes and alterations may be included in the price in your head... we are talking just the item you are consigning). How much are you wanting to make upon the sale?

Let us know

We are TESTING the submission option below. For fastest replies, please use the form below.

IF THIS DOES NOT WORK -

Send us an email to Tanya@SecondStory.Love with your dress/veil information.

When it comes to the photo - We aren't picky, it can be a stock photo or one of you in the dress - however, know that we may use it to help promote the sale of your dress.

Bring it to the store

After we receive your submission we will be in tough to let you know when/if we can accept the dress or veil. This may depend on style, stock, or season.

You are requested to review the Community Consignment Contract (listed at the bottom of this page) to submit the details. You will also indicate that you have reviewed this.

If you are a business looking to work with us, please contact us by email (Tanya@SecondStory.Love) for more details. We have worked with many businesses helping them to clear out aging stock, discontinued items, and/or if they are closing the shop to help recoup some costs.

Cashing Out

Of course, we can't guarantee a sale, but we do our best for you! Keep an eye on contract dates, and keep in touch with us. Once the item has sold, the amount transfers to a "store credit" where you can shop tax free, or cash out in the form of an e-transfer or cheque. For safety reasons, we do not keep cash in the store for consignment pay outs.
