CommunityNothing here is thrown away
A piece that does not find a buyer in ninety days has not failed. It goes, at the consignor's choosing, to two organisations doing serious work a short distance from our door.
Downtown Eastside Women's Centre
The DEWC has served women and children in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside for over forty years, providing a safe space and vital daily services to some of the most marginalised women in the city.
Donated womenswear goes directly to women who need it — including the good pieces. Warmth and dignity are not a lesser use for a well-made coat than resale is.
dewc.caBabyGoRound
A British Columbia non-profit that collects, sorts, and distributes gently used children's essentials — clothing, equipment, and toys — to families who cannot afford them new.
Children's clothing is where donation makes the most immediate difference, because a growing child needs the next size whether or not the money exists that month.
babygoround.caWhat happens to a piece, start to finish
You consign it
We authenticate, measure, photograph, and price it, then put it on the floor and online at the same time.
It has ninety days
Shown properly, circulated to First Access members who match it, and given every reasonable chance to sell.
You choose
At the end of the period, collect it or ask us to donate it. Most consignors choose donation, and we never make that choice for you.
It goes where it is needed
Womenswear to the DEWC, children's to BabyGoRound. Nothing goes to landfill and nothing is baled for export.
Pieces not collected within 14 days of our notification are donated, as set out in the consignment terms.
A resale shop that sends its leftovers to landfill has not solved anything. It has just moved the problem back a season.
Why we do it this wayConsign, and decide where it goes
Your pieces earn you their proper value first, and do something useful afterwards if they do not sell. Both halves matter.
