Frequently Asked Questions


What is the difference between Decades and Decadestwo?
Decadestwo deals primarily with upscale designer clothing from the mid 90's to the current season.  Decades, our sister store, focuses on vintage couture from the 1930's to early 90's.

How does the consignment work at Decadestwo?
Decadestwo has over 2000 consignors from around the world. Celebrities, fashionistas, and exuberant shoppers comprise the majority of our consignors.

Place a call to the store and we’ll discuss the type and amount of items you have to offer (you need at least 5 to open an account with us). We will then set up an appointment to see if they are the right fit for our collection.
One of the hallmarks of our success is that the store is highly edited; therefore, we may only take 20% of what you bring in.

Please ensure the items are clean and are in new or next-to-new condition.

How does payment work:
We split the proceeds 50/50. Checks go out on the 15th of each month for the prior month’s sales. 

Do you sell online?
We have a strong eBay presence as well as our own website and blog.

How long do you keep the items:
Usually about 3 months (Longer for more special pieces).  After that time you will have the option to have items shipped back to you, picked up or donated. (See consignor agreement).

Do you ever reduce prices?
Normally we do not, unless a client is making a large purchase and/or we are having a special event. We ask our consignors to give us 10-15% leeway when making a sale.

Why should you consign?
Here are some reasons we have heard over the years:

1.  I only wore it once.
2.  I need room in my closet.
3.  I have other similar items.
4. I was tired and hungry when I bought it. :)

How do you set pricing?
We will jointly set prices with our consigners. If a garment has tags, we will price it at 60% off the original price.

If it is a hot handbag, is in stores now, or is a hot label like Chanel or Hermès, the item will be less discounted.

Do you make housecalls?

As long as the labels are right for us and there are over 100 things for us to review, we will make a housecall. There is an additional fee for housecalls for new clients.

What types of items do you like to consign?
Think of us as a mini-Barneys with a wider selection of brands.
Our clients tend to like newer and hipper labels… so Balenciaga and not Armani.  We do very well with handbags, dresses and shoes.

Can I use my credit for purchase?

You may use your credit in the period before consignment checks are sent out. Please note that once checks are cut, your available credit reverts to zero.

Do you offer trades?
We do not.

Do you disclose who your consignors are?
Never.  Everything is strictly confidential.

Thanks - Decadestwo.
