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.
Serendipitys is committed to providing high quality consignment from sizes 000 to 3XL.
As a true Consignment Boutique we accept Designer and Boutique brands only. Here is a list of some of the BRANDS THAT WE LOVE! There are brands that we are not able to accept as they are not what our shopping clients are looking for. Here are a few of the brands that we are not able to accept.
We accept freshly washed items, purchased new in the past 2 years that are in new or next to new condition neatly folded in a tote, laundry hamper or box. Items must be hanger ready and free of signs of wear with tags intact.
We want to ensure that our Consignors have an amazing experience and value quality relationships over quantity. If you have any questions regarding our consignment process, please reach out to us at 403-934-8355 and we will be happy to answer any questions!
Serendipitys is committed and focused on community. Any unsold items are donated to local organizations in Strathmore such as the Strathmore Overnight Shelter to ensure that all items go to those who are in need right here in our own community.
