Details about consigning designer clothes at Michael's, the upscale designer consignment shop for women

Michael's specializes in consignment. People (also known as consignors) bring us treasures to sell on their behalf. We don't own the merchandise — we pay the consignors when their goods sell. Sorry, but we do not rent out any of the merchandise in our store.

The clothing and accessories at Michael's come from all around the world. Beautiful items arrive every day. Part of the joy of shopping at Michael's is finding a treasure that's just for you. We accept women's clothing sizes 0–14 and typically only have one of any item.

ALL consignments MUST have a designer label or stamp intact. We specialize in high-end designer clothing and accessories but also accept designer housewares, linens, and fine china as well as high-end gift items for men such as Hermes ties and designer watches. We also accept fine jewelry.

We take items seasonally that are clean, fresh, in perfect condition, and are no more than two years old. The only exceptions to this rule are Chanel, Hermes, and Pucci items. We take items by these designers that are more than two years old if they are in pristine condition. We cannot guarantee that we will accept all items — we make choices based on our knowledge of shopper preferences and our existing inventory.

We prefer items be left with us for three months (six months for bridal gowns). However, the merchandise belongs to the consignor until it is sold and can be returned at any time with 24-hours notice. We split the proceeds with our consignors 50-50 once the item sells. An itemized list of all items we have accepted will be sent to the consignor in 3 to 5 business days.

Please note: our merchandisers must review garments in person — sorry, we cannot make judgments based on photos. If you can’t come to our store, you can ship items to us. Call us for more information.

Pricing policies at Michael's, the designer consignment shop for women

We price each item we accept based on our many years of experience in the industry. Items are reduced by approximately 20% every 30 days.

Typically, we display bridal gowns for up to 6 months and reduce the price of a bridal item by 20% every 60 days.

Depending on the wishes of the consignor, items may be sent to charity or returned to the consignor at the end of the consignment period. Consignors are paid each month for items sold the previous month.

Estate clothing liquidation

Need help closing an estate? We're experienced with quickly handling an estate's high-end, women’s clothing and accessories. We are prepared to assess, purchase, and remove these items as a group — on the same day. Please call to schedule an appointment.
