From Louis, Gucci and Chanel to everyday brands, UpScaleIT is 3,000 square feet of designer fabulousness, for every size (XS-XXXL) and every budget. With a mission to help women define their fashion sense and find pieces they love and feel good in, every piece is carefully curated from the more than 14,000 consignors who bring their items to the store. Owner Alice Melsher, a former divorce attorney, is passionate about helping her clients find their fabulous and making sure each person leaves her store happy.
Luxury always sells best, especially luxury handbags — they are UpscaleIT’s best-selling item.
Here are her tips on consigning like a pro:
• Gravitate toward brands that are popular such as Lululemon, the North Face, Free People and Anthropologie. The better brands fetch higher prices and sell faster.
• Make sure your items are in good condition. For shoes, they should be almost new.
• The more unique the piece the better. Many people who love to thrift enjoy the treasure hunt and are on a quest to find and bring home a special, one-of-a-kind piece.
