You don’t have to pay full price, you can buy secondhand or discounted. Unfortunately, most inexpensive, fast fashion items will end up in the landfill and have a very short, disposable lifespan. Remember to buy great quality, not the lowest price! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606cbe114979c36d42b73762/1625009403817-FNQAJ95Q37K2FJ47ZATZ/PH_Consginment101_simple_2.jpg PH Tips - Consignment 101 - Take Care With Care Take good care of your items and check for stains after wearing.

There is just so much excess! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606cbe114979c36d42b73762/1625009710340-KC2RD582SEVK3E1LNLGD/PH_Consginment101_simple_6.jpg PH Tips - Consignment 101 - Give it Up Donate anything that is very worn looking, has stains or holes or is no longer desirable. It’s ok, it had a good life, let it go. Some tailors will mend your really great items for a small fee. Then they can go back into circulation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606cbe114979c36d42b73762/1625009823662-YS2IE7QRORAPZQPNSGRF/PH_Consginment101_simple_7.jpg PH Tips - Consignment 101 - Keep it Clean Be sure to launder your items before bringing them in for potential consignment. Get rid of any perfume, pet hair, excess lint, etc. The better the item looks and smells, the better its chance at being chosen for resale. https://www.pacificholidaypdx.com/ph-tips/category/PH+Tips monthly 0.5 https://www.pacificholidaypdx.com/ph-tips/tag/Sustainable+Fashion monthly 0.5 https://www.pacificholidaypdx.com/ph-tips/tag/consignment monthly 0.5 https://www.pacificholidaypdx.com/ph-tips/tag/Consignment monthly 0.5 https://www.pacificholidaypdx.com/ph-tips/tag/sustainable+fashion monthly 0.5 https://www.pacificholidaypdx.com/about daily 0.75 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606cbe114979c36d42b73762/79f28edd-4d60-431c-80d7-c2a51463c4c5/Allyson-+owner+of+the+shop.jpg About - Photo credit: Rach @surgalski Pacific Holiday is built on a community of consignors and customers who appreciate beauty, inspiration, boutique brands and independent designers.
