Consign your own wardrobe with us
Our consignment service came to fruition late last year when a customer who was trying to sell a piece asked if we would rent it for her instead of buying it and quickly realised she could make a lot more money than she would on selling, plus she didn’t have to do a thing - just send us her item and sit back waiting for her monthly payment to come in! Consigning is the best and easiest way to monetise your wardrobe and continue the life cycle of your designer pieces.
Closet Clearout
How many times do you find yourself thrashing around through your wardrobe thinking, “Gosh I should really sort this - I can never find anything to wear!?” Yet every time you try and do a declutter you end up with the same pile of “oh maybe I’ll wear that one day?”. Resulting in you getting stuck with the same wardrobe full of clothes that either get worn to death or are barely touched.
A Covid19 Update
In light of the Coronavirus, we’re being mindful of the best ways that we can support and protect our community, our team and each other, all while trying to navigate this uncertain and unsettling time.
Wedding Season
One of the most common questions we get asked when we have try-ons or girls slip into our DM’s is “Is this okay to wear to a wedding?” which is usually followed up by “I have no idea what to wear!” Don’t worry girl, we've got you. We heard you. We saw you frantically looking under our wedding section.

The countdown is on to switch on your out-of-office, attempt to slowly make your way through your advent calendar & prep yourself for the Christmas parties ahead!
