Buyers shop for what they need right now, or what they’ll need very soon. Consigning slightly ahead of the season gives your pieces the longest window to sell at a good price.
Late summer and early fall
Bring in coats, wool blazers, sweaters and boots. People start thinking about cooler weather before it arrives, especially when the first chilly morning hits Acworth.
Late fall
Holiday party season is a great time for cocktail dresses, velvet, sequins, and dark suits.
Late winter and early spring
Think light jackets, trench coats, spring dresses and lighter suiting. It’s also prime time for wedding-guest outfits as wedding season approaches.
Late spring and summer
Linen, cotton, summer dresses and lightweight shirts. Graduation and job-interview season can also be a good time for suits and blazers.
Why timing matters
Items stay on the Rack for 75 days. A winter coat dropped off in September has the whole start of the cold season to find a buyer. The same coat dropped off in March may sit while shoppers are thinking about spring.
The year-round exceptions
Classic tailoring, quality denim and designer pieces tend to sell any time of year. If it’s a timeless piece in great condition, don’t wait.
