Sell an item at it's prime. The most coveted items are always in-season and on-trend items. Such items can sell close to it's original retail price (or even more in some case)!
Resale value is heavily influenced by market demand, trends and seasonality. Once items get marked down at the end-of-season, the resale value will be affected accordingly.

We always tell our consignors to flip their hangers in their wardrobe around the the start of the year. If you find that a hanger was not turned around by the end of the year, you have not worn this in a year.

If you have not worn an item in a year, it is probable that won’t wear it again in the near future. The longer an item sits in your wardrobe, the more it will depreciate. Also, natural fabric disintegrates over time resulting in discolouration, stains, moth holes. Any defects will affect an item's resale value.

Start a habit of keeping original tags in pockets! Start storing away authenticity cards, original receipts, dust bags, replacement heels or other accessories in a dedicated storage in your closet.

Any original accessories and tags may add value to an item's resale price and helps minimise authenticity concerns.

Always buy your size carefully to avoid making any alterations. Alterations to a garment's original design will affect the resale value significantly.
