consignment is a curated selection

Consignment and Thrift are often used  interchangeably, however they are very different stores and experiences.    

Consignment is a curated, hand selected offering of designer and boutique brands that are in NEW or next to new condition.  Consignment boutiques look for items that have been purchased new in the past 2 years and are current, on trend and in season.  They only accept items that they feel have a good chance of selling.  Items are inspected, steamed and beautifully merchandised for sale.  Customers are able to shop with confidence knowing that quality is of the utmost importance.

Thrift items tend to be of lesser quality, show signs of wear and are not freshly cleaned.  Thrift stores usually rely on volume and accept most everything that is brought in to them.  Items are not inspected, steamed and can have stains, damage & odours.

As a Consignment Boutique, Serendipitys may not  be able to accept all items that are brought in and we may not able to offer everyone an account.  We greatly appreciate your understanding that this is purely a business decision and not a personal reflection or opinion about you or your items.
