We know you know how to buy … but, do you know how to sell? Keep reading for tips on how to sell your own luxury items to The Vault:

Diana Ford, director of luxury goods and gatherings at The Vault Luxury Resale, encourages those interested in selling their clothing, handbags, jewelry, and shoes to bring them to the store on Brentwood Blvd. in Brentwood. “Buyers are available Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.until 5 p.m. and no appointment is needed.” They are looking for labels from the better department stores and boutiques, in like-new condition, and are less than three years old.

Ford recommends that prospective sellers keep in mind a few things:

●Right now, we want activewear and designer sneakers.

●We are always interested in designer handbags and jewelry.

●Our customers buy 25 tops for everyone pair of pants we sell so we don’t buy as many bottoms.

●St. Louis is not a walkable city like Chicago or New York where women wear long fur coats for warmth; we typically do not buy them. However, we do sell contemporary mink jackets and do very well with them. We’re always looking for those.

●Vintage, that is garments made more than 25 years ago and which clearly reflect the style of that era, makes up only about 1% of our inventory. If something amazing comes in, we will buy it--vintage Chanel for example–but we pass on more vintage items than we buy.

●Labels we love: Eileen Fisher, Madewell, Lululemon, Lilly Pulitzer, J.Crew,Alice & Olivia, Vince...as well as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, and Prada.
