Item Prep

Step One: Get Your Items Ready

Make your items shine (the better they look, the faster they sell!)

Start Here:

  • Check our Accepted Items & Brand List before you begin

  • Wash, steam, and de-lint clothing—fresh + wrinkle-free = higher sales

  • Inspect everything carefully (no stains, holes, missing buttons, fading, etc.)

  • If it’s not something you’d be excited to buy, it doesn’t belong at Savvy

Consignor Guidelines:

  • Minimum: 15 items

  • Maximum: 200 items per seller

  • Rockstar Sellers (65%+ sell-through) may request up to 250 items


Not sure what to let go of? Ask yourself:

  • Have I worn this in the last 6–12 months?

  • Do I love it—and would I wear it today?

  • Does it fit me and my current style?

  • Do I have something to wear it with?

If it’s not a “yes” across the board… it’s time to pass it on.

Step Two: A little prep goes a long way— having the right tools makes this process easy and organized

You’ll need:

  • Hangers: WHITE plastic or velvet hangers preferred (different from our kids events). Wire hangers will be accepted.

  • Safety Pins: Attach tags through a seam or garment tag

    • Never pin through front of fabric

    • If no tag: attach at the right armpit seam

    • Do not pin items to hangers

  • Tagging Gun (recommended, not required)

  • Clothespins: For wide neck tops, skirts, shorts, leggings

  • Cardstock: White, 65 lb. or heavier

  • Packing Tape: For shoes

  • Colored Tape: Fun colors help identify your items

  • Hole Punch

  • Ribbon or Twine: For securing shoes

  • Colored Ribbon: For designer denim

  • Small Zip Ties

  • Painter’s Tape: For home décor tagging

  • Pricing Guide: Use as a reference when pricing

Tip: Tagging guns are under $15 online and are the best way to protect your items.

Step Three: Hang Items Properly

Important:

  • DO NOT safety pin clothing to hangers

Hanger Direction:

  • All hangers should face the same way

  • When facing the item, the hook should form a question mark (?)

Clothing Guidelines:

  • Sets: Secure together with safety pins or zip ties

  • Jeans/Pants: Fold in half over hanger (tag visible)

  • Shorts: Fold over hanger, secure if needed

  • Wide neck tops/dresses/kimonos: Secure with clothespins

Accessories & Shoes:

  • Belts, purses, hats: No hangers needed

  • Shoes: Tie together with ribbon/twine (leave ~5" slack)

Step Four: Enter & Print Tags

  • Click “Returning Consignor Login” at the top of the page

  • Enter items in MySaleManager and print tags
