C'est Magnifique Revente

Paris Fashion Week Autumn/Winter Ready to Wear 2015/2016 (yes we did say Autumn/Winter) is about to begin and it is without doubt that Paris Fashion Week has international intrigue. 
Some may be fortunate enough to be present at such a stunning runway show and are no doubt bubbling with excitement about what they will see on the runway. Designers such as Balenciaga, Chloe, Christian Dior, John Galliano, Louis Vuitton, Valentino to name but a few who will be showcasing their new masterpieces. What can we expect? How soon will these runway designs be watered downed with a "high street' version that will hit the stores? And let's be honest, a more affordable version. We shall, as we are sure you will, wait with baited breath to find out. 


The good news is that the wealthy and famous who attend these runway shows fill their enormous, but bulging, closets with the upcoming season's fashions and have no further use for those coveted items from seasons past. So what do some of the wealthy and famous do? They consign their items with us. That's great news not just for consignista.com, but also for you! No need to scratch your head as to why, because not only are these designer items affordable when consigned, but they have either never been worn because they haven't gotten around to it, or have been worn once or twice at a push. And the items we have on sale are not just limited to women's fashions either. Oh no! Fabulous children's items come flooding in, also with a sprinkle of men's designs. And while as the saying goes, the rich may get richer, some of our consignors, donate some or all of their percentage of their items' sale to a charity or cause of their choice. That means you are helping them give back when you buy those stunning items that were once in their closet.

Don't believe us? OK, so let's give you some examples of some of the items we have listed on our site, to put the proof in the pudding so to speak; How about an Oscar de la Renta sleeveless sweater NWT that was sent to a client directly from the runway? Oh, perhaps an array of black & purple label Ralph Lauren t-shirts and spring time sweaters that are in as new condition or NWT? Or an Yves Saint Laurent black tank, Prada shoes and handbags. The list goes on. The good news is that more items are being listed with us on a regular basis and inventory continues to grow. And as we say, the items we have just mentioned have 50% of the proceeds going to a charity or cause of the consignors' choice. It's a win, win for all. The consignor makes space in their closet for their newly purchased items, you get a great deal on a runway look and you both get to give back when an item sells. We think it's pretty neat.
So, make sure you keep on coming back to visit consignista.com to check out the goodies we are continually listing.
For now au revoir. Vous voir le mois prochain.
