Research Your Boutique: Find a reputable consignment boutique that specializes in designer handbags. Choose Bags for Breakfast and you'll receive a personal luxury experience and you'll have piece of mind knowing that your once treasured handbag will be going to the best home I can find!

Prepare Your Handbags: Clean and inspect your handbags thoroughly. If you can, repair any minor worn damages like loose threads, to ensure they're in the best possible condition.

Provide Documentation: If you have any original receipts, authenticity cards, or dust bags, these items can add value and are important to the credibility of your handbags.

Set Realistic Prices: I will provide you a quote based on my market research and knowledge, but know that this setting the right price is an important collaboration to me, I want ensure you are happy with the set price for your handbag so I am happy to make any adjustments necessary to meet your expectations.

Sign a Consignment Agreement: This legal document outlines the terms of the consignment, including the agreed-upon price, commission percentage, and duration of the consignment period. All my clients are required to sign my consignment agreement to ensure a smooth transaction. You can find a copy of the agreement on my website. If you have any questions please do not hesitate

Promote Your Items: I am responsible for marketing and promoting your handbag! This is the fun part and I love sharing your bags with everyone! The more exposure they get, the higher the likelihood of a sale.

Stay in Communication: I will keep in touch with you throughout the process but please feel free to equally reach out to me! My relationship with you is important so don't be shy to check in with me if you want updates on the status of your handbags.

Consider Renewing or Retrieving: If your handbags haven't sold within the initial consignment period, we can discuss adjustments and whether to renew the agreement or if you so wish, retrieve your items. Remember that even though I have your handbags, you are still the owner of the bag. I think this is something a lot of other large companies fail to remind their customers and I feel a responsibility to help me clients feel empowered in their decision to consign with me!
