GENERAL

What items does Greene Street accept for consignment?

Greene Street accepts seasonal clothing and accessories at all of our locations. All Greene Street locations accept men's and women's items as well with the exception of our Lambertville location (women's only) and our Men's store (men's only). All clothing and accessories should be clean, in excellent condition, and less than three years old to be considered. We may make exceptions to our intake guidelines for older designer pieces. We do not accept vintage items or home goods at this time.

What does Greene Street NOT accept?

- No PANTS - unless NWT (new with tags, unworn), in-season, designer label, and/or very unique; pants are not a great seller and may be declined regardless of label and condition.
- Typically no fast-fashion brands like H&M, Forever21, Torrid, Old Navy, Walmart, Target, Kohl's, etc.
- Greene Street is also much more selective with women's suits and blazers unless NWT and/or J. Crew or Theory and up.
- Tailoring - men’s and women’s suits, blazers and other items should have minimal-to-no tailoring.

- Shoe boxes - Greene Street generally will only consider shoe box(es) if they correspond with accepted shoes, the box is in excellent condition, and the shoes are high end.

How does Greene Street authenticate high end, couture, and/or designer items?

Greene Street pricing personnel research fair market value for each designer item based on age, condition, label and demand. A High End Form may be filled out by the consignor at drop-off, to aid us in the pricing process. Designer items may be accepted or further passed-on at the time of pricing based on condition, age, style, demand and authenticity. Faux designer items will not be accepted, and designer items may be further passed-on without additional purchase receipts and/or other valid authenticating documentation.
