We’ve had many requests for us to carry women’s clothing, but based on our sale history, it just isn’t feasible to take up rack space needed for children’s clothing for these items, which don’t sell as well. That doesn’t mean we can’t pass on those outfits we loved in the store but didn’t quite work when we got home or pick up new to me outfits without spending a dime. Those thoughts developed into Remix, a women’s clothing swap party.
How does it work? Children’s Market consignors and volunteers can bring 10 to 30 pieces of your clothing, shoes, jewelry, and other accessories with you at drop-off on Sunday or Monday. We will have a separate room set up for you to drop off your items. During Tuesday’s pre-sale, from 5 pm until 7 pm, anyone participating can visit the Remix room to pick out new to you items in exchange for what you’ve contributed to the swap. We’re talking no pricing, no tagging, no coming back to pick up leftovers. Anything left after the swap will be donated to Second Chance and Community Enabler for their clothes closets.
For each item you bring in a category, you’ll receive one exchange ticket for that category. Tickets can be swapped down to lower categories, but not swapped up to higher ticket items until 7:00. At that time, anything left is fair game for all participants.
What are the guidelines? · Please bring 10 to 30 items you no longer want (tops, pants, suits, dresses, scarves, hats, belts, coats, jackets, pajamas, sportswear, lounge wear, robes, formal wear, etc). Bring only current styles (purchased in the past 3-4 years) in good condition that can be worn by someone else. Make sure they are free of any odors, stains, excessive wear, etc. Freshly washed clothing of any season is welcome. All leftover clothes will be donated to charity.
