How It Works
Buy and Sell, and Play with your Clothes
ReFashioner is a curated consignment store in which YOU supply the exquisite merchandize (and so do we!)
Is it a Shop? Is it a Giant Shared Closet? Is it a Designer Swap? Is it a Community?
Yes! Buying is as easy as on any etail site. The one difference is you'll become a ReFashioner member on checkout. It's free, and there's no pressure to do anything more than shop. Or swap! Sell something, leave your proceeds your account, and use them to shop for "free". If you want to sell (or swap) your own spare couture, read on...
It’s easy to hautecycle your couture...
If you didn't join yet, scroll up and click "Apply". Once you have your own customizable Closet (it's free), you're ready to upload your pieces.
Raid your (real) closet, pull those exquisite things you never actually wear, lay them out and decide what they’re worth. (Be a bit generous--you’re not wearing them, after all.)
If you have no idea what to charge, just put a zero in the price field and our Fashion Police will suggest prices. You may alter them as you like later.
Photograph your pieces, front back and LABEL--plus details or styling shots if you like. Then hit “submit an item” and follow the instructions. Don’t forget to tell your garments’ stories and choose 'emotion tags' at the end.
The Fashion Police then vets your pieces (if we reject any, please don't take it personally), and edits out the background, then we send them live on the site. You’ll get an email when that happens.
Strapped for time? Or already selling?
If you've already lost your patience/motivation/will to live, contact us. If your stuff is supergreat, we want to help... (Not yet a nationwide service, but we'll do what we can.)
If you're a vintage dealer, professional or semi-pro seller (Ebay, Etsy): Welcome! We don't mind the odd double listing--just remove it if it's gone. And if you want to make it more official, contact us. We'd love to work out a marketing program with you.
Want to swap? Go cashless?
ReFashioner beta (2010-2012) was the original Curated Swap Site. And the Swap lives on... When you sell something and leave your proceeds in your ReFashioner account (instead of cashing out) the amount is applied to anything you buy on the site. It feels like shopping for free!
Meanwhile...
Shop! You can search by Designer, category, size, color, pattern, material, era, or any combination thereof. You can also search by emotion tags, Just In items, or find favorites in our Collections. Checkout's easy: load cart; log in; pay.
Meet your fellow ReFashioners! Browse their Closets, Stalk their Closets, read their questionnaires and stories, surf to their blogs, stores, and sites. This is more than shopping. This is fashion.
When a fellow ReFashioner buys your piece...
You receive an email with the prepaid mailing label. Put the item in a USPS box, stick on the label and mail it. After the tracking info enters the system, you can cash out (from "Transactions" tab in "My Account")--or use your proceeds to shop on ReFashioner. (See above)
And...
Don’t forget to keep an eye on our blog, reMAG, for updates, features, interviews, member call-outs, nonboring sustainable fashion news, and all sorts.
We also do Tweet, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and anything else they may have invented last week
