Accepted Items

Our goal is to offer a unique, exciting shopping experience to everyone who shops at Wardrobe Revival. That means having an extremely high standard for what we will and won’t accept at the sale. We want shoppers to leave feeling they had the chance to shop high quality, on trend items while also saving tons of money rather than paying retail prices. We want consignors to enjoy high sell through rates and turn their pre-loved items into cash.

To that end, we accept items that are in excellent condition, in style, and available in stores in the past 3 years. Items not meeting these standards will not be accepted. Each consignor can enter up to 175 total inventory items, which includes a maximum of 100 clothing items. The minimum price for inventory items is $5. Consignors should have at least 20 items OR $100 in inventory to qualify for shopping the Consignor Presale.

For consignors with high end items from brands like Free People, Anthropologie, Madewell, lululemon, Athleta, Alo, etc., there is an option to enter more than 100 clothing items. If you think this applies to you, email wardroberevivalsale@gmail.com after you have entered your first 100 clothing items into the inventory system and we can take a look at your inventory.

Consignors: Be sure to check out the “Tagging & Preparing Your Items,” and “Pricing Guidelines” pages.

Women’s Clothing Sizes 00/XXS to 26+/4x:

Every item brought to the sale will be inspected for stains, holes, and excessive wear and tear. Items should come from a smoke free home and anything with even a hint of a smoke, musty, or mildew type of smell will not be accepted.
Consignors are expected to do their own inspection and avoid bringing items that don’t meet the sale’s standards.
Clothing should be in style and current (meaning it should have been purchased within the past 3 years).

There is a limit of 100 clothing items per consignor. This limit is set to encourage consignors to ONLY bring your newest and best. The sale is not designed for you to dig out totes and totes of old clothes that have been in storage for years.
Instead, we want you to focus on your best name brand items, your highest quality items, and things that shoppers will get excited about finding at the sale TODAY.

There is a limit of 10 pairs of jeans per consignors, and only 3 of those are permitted to be skinny jeans. This is in an effort to maintain high sell through. We learned at our first event that people have a LOT of jeans in their closets, but we want to be sure we’re bringing current styles and brands that shoppers want to see. Therefore, unless/until skinny jeans make a bigger comeback, we will have to limit what we accept.

For consignors with high end items from brands like Free People, Anthropologie, Madewell, lululemon, Athleta, Alo, etc., there is an option to enter more than 100 clothing items. If you think this applies to you, email wardroberevivalsale@gmail.com and we can take a look at your inventory. It will be required that your inventory is labeled with the brand on every item.

At the spring event, we will accept seasonally appropriate items for spring and summer. At the fall event, we will accept seasonally appropriate items for fall and winter. This means we will not accept winter coats at the spring sale, and we won’t accept something like a linen sundress at the fall/winter sale. Athletic shorts and tanks will be accepted year-round.

Our sales floor will be organized by category. For example, all dresses will be organized in one section (by size).
Examples of some of the clothing sections we will have: activewear (all sports bras, athletic leggings & tops), fan zone (all high school, college, and professional spirit wear-adult sizes only), tops, bottoms, dresses, coats, formal wear, loungewear, etc.

While Wardrobe Revival is geared towards women, we recognize that it is a great opportunity for both shoppers and consignors to buy and sell high demand men’s clothing and shoes, too! We do not anticipate many men shopping at the sale, but if you have popular brands and styles of men’s items from the teens or men in your life, we welcome them! Keep in mind that buyers will be the moms and wives of the family, so you’ll want to stick to the brands and styles that they’ll happily pick up for the men in their lives.

Brands should include those along the lines of alo, Lululemon, Vuori, popular golf brands, Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, Vineyard Vines, Banana Republic, etc. We also anticipate team branded items such as Purdue, Colts, and local schools, will be popular in this section, so bring those as well! This is not an exhaustive list, but should give you an idea of what types of brands you can bring.

There is a limit of 25 pieces of men’s clothing and 25 pairs of men’s shoes.
All items should be in excellent condition and current in terms of design and style.
