What do you accept?

Emily’s Closet accepts women’s clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry and accessories. Styles that are on trend and from the last 2-3 years sell best. The brands listed below are just some of those we accept. We actually carry hundreds of different brands!

We accept select short and long evening dresses, and new undergarments and bathing suits with their original tags.

Costume and sterling silver jewelry is accepted.

We accept spring items such as crop pants, light-weight sweaters and spring jackets, February through June and summer items, such as shorts, tank tops and sandals, April through June. Fall items, such as sweaters and fall jackets are accepted August through December, however winter items such as winter coats, boots, winter scarves, gloves and heavy sweaters will be accepted starting in October. No consignments will be accepted during July and January so we can get ready to accept items for the next season.

Clothing items must be clean and free of stains, pulls and pills. Everything must pressed and nicely folded in a tote or basket, however we prefer them to be on hangers (you will get your hangers back). Clothing in garbage bags are not accepted.

How much do I get after my items sell?

You will receive 40% of the selling price of the item(s), minus sales tax and a small item fee. If you choose to use some or all of your payout as store credit, you will receive a store credit bonus. Emily's Closet reserves the right to markdown or discount items during the consignment period.

For luxury designer items, you will receive 60% of the selling price, minus sales tax and a small item fee. Emily’s Closet will only accept authentic designer goods. "Inspired by" and "knock-offs" are not be accepted. If authenticity cannot be determined by the Emily‘s Closet staff, a third-party authentication company will be used. There is a $20 fee for this service and must be paid upfront.

How long do you keep my items?

The consignment period is 60 days from when the item is placed on the sales floor. You must pick up your unsold items within 7 days from the end of the consignment period or they become property of Emily’s Closet. The item(s) may continue to stay on the sales floor or may be donated to charity. Consignors are responsible for keeping track of when their consignment period ends. Emily’s Closet does not notify consignors of their consignment period ending. You can access your account from our website and view the items that have sold as well as your available pay out.

Do I need an appointment to bring my items in?

Yes. You can call 716.651.0500, email emilysclosetny@gmail.com, DM us on Facebook or Instagram @emilysclosetny, or complete the contact form below to schedule an appointment.

Remember, those items just sitting in your closet can put some money in your pocket.
