SELLING

How to Consign with us?

Here at Twiice we work on a consignment basis. What this means is that you get paid as each item sells.

We pride ourselves on having a carefully curated collection so we will only accept what we love. If you believe you have something we will love, you can tell us about them in 3 different ways:

1. Fill in our very easy online form

2. Email us at info@shoptwiicesa.co.za

3. Whatsapp us on +27 (0)83 449 8075

If you choose to email or Whatsapp us please send the following for each item:

- brand name

- at least 2 clear photos of the front, back and inside.

- a photo of the authentication code if there is one

- it's condition, detailing any flaws or damage

- if the item is vintage

- if you have any original packaging and proof of purchase.

- the original retail price (if known)

- specific details of any alterations that have been done to the garment.

Once we have received ALL the information we need we will review your items and get back to you within 48 hours.

How Does Consignment Work?

Consignment means that, instead of us buying your items from you and then selling them in our store with a mark-up, we market and sell the items on your behalf. When the item sells, we make our money by taking a percentage of the price it sold for. By working this way, we’re incentivised to sell your items quickly at a fair price.

50% for items under R10 000

30% for items above R10 000

As a guide items are usually sold at 30%-60% of the retail price depending on the condition of the item.

What We Accept?

We accept a very wide range of luxury designer brands, from the really big names to the lesser-known treasures.

We accept women's items only, in the following categories:

- Clothing

- Shoes

- Bags

- Accessories

- Jewellery

- Vintage

If you are not sure if a brand meets our requirements please contact us and enquire.
