National Consignment Day: Buy What You Love, Consign What's Next

Buy what you love. Wear it well. Consign it when you're ready. Find what's next.

That cycle is what National Consignment Day is all about, and it's what we do every day at My Sister's Closet, Well Suited, and My Sister's Attic. Our consignors trust us to give their designer pieces, menswear, and home furnishings a second life. This year, we're celebrating by looking at why resale matters more than ever, for your closet and for the planet.

Resale isn't a trend

Secondhand used to be the alternative. Now it's where many shoppers start. According to the ThredUp 2026 Resale Report and GlobalData, resale is projected to grow 2× faster than the overall apparel market through 2030.

That growth reflects a real shift in how people shop. Luxury buyers check resale before retail. They sell a bag to fund the next one. They treat a well-made piece as something with lasting value, not a one-season purchase.

For designer pieces from Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Manolo Blahnik, Valentino, and Dior, that value holds. Quality construction and timeless design are exactly what make a piece worth consigning, and worth buying secondhand.

The environmental impact of consigning

Every consigned piece is a small decision with a real impact. When you consign:

• Quality pieces stay in circulation. A great handbag or blazer keeps being worn instead of sitting unused.
• No new materials are needed. A resale purchase skips the raw materials, water, and manufacturing behind a new item.
• Emissions go down. Based on a Life Cycle Assessment with Green Story Inc., ThredUp reports that buying secondhand instead of new reduces emissions by 25%.
• Great pieces get a second (or third) life. Luxury is built to last, and resale lets it.

Sustainable fashion doesn't have to mean compromising on style. Some of the most beautiful pieces in our stores have already had one life and are ready for the next.

Why consign instead of selling it yourself

Selling designer pieces on your own means photographing, listing, answering messages, negotiating, and shipping. Consigning takes that off your plate. Our team handles authentication, pricing, merchandising, and the sale, so you can focus on what's next.

One tip before you bring items in: hold on to original boxes, dust bags, and receipts. They support authentication and can help an item's resale value.
