Inventory Guidelines

Though we love all things fashion, our guidelines are designed to match the right type of inventory with our community of shoppers online and in-store. If you have a question about what you should or should not bring or send, please call or e-mail our consignment take-in department at 972-233-7005 ext 202, or info@chadallas.com.  Here’s what our shoppers are looking for on our sales floor:

 

Type

All clothing including dresses, tops, skirts, pants, sweaters, jackets, swim wear, exercise, formal wear, maternity and outerwear (including furs). Clothing sizes 0-22. We also sell handbags, jewelry, shoes, scarves, hats, gloves, and accessories as well as limited small gift items. 

Condition

New, nearly new, or very gently-loved items. Items should be clean, free of any odors (e.g. smoke, perfume), debris (e.g. pet hair, lint) damage (e.g. holes, stains) and clothing should be unwrinkled and on hangers.

Age

Fashionable and currently in-style. Generally, this means less than 2 years old. We do accept selected timeless vintage items over $200 original price.

 

Price / Quality

Our shoppers typically seek merchandise from iconic designers and we give priority to this type of merchandise. However, we do accept items from top tier ‘casual brands’ when inventory levels permit. We do not set a minimum original sales price, but typically, our customers are looking for items that originally sold for $40 or more.

 

Season

We match our inventory to the appropriate time of year. We take clothing for each season at the following times:

 

Spring           Jan-March 

Summer       April-July  

Fall                 July-September   

Winter           Oct-Dec

           

Fur season begins Oct 15th and runs through March 15th. Furs should be in excellent condition and less than 5 years old. Classic older furs that have been properly stored also accepted. On age damaged furs we can recommend donation options.
