There is no better time to clean out your children’s closets than now! It’s easy - follow these 5 simple steps!
Step 1: Gather those cute clothes!
Go through your children's closets and pick out those boutique-quality clothes that are in excellent condition. The Monkey Exchange will only accept:
- Minimum of 10 items
- Spring/summer clothes for our spring shows and fall/winter clothes for our fall show.
- Girls and boys sizes from NB to 16.
- Only upscale name brands from boutiques and trunk shows. Please refer here for a list of example brands we take and don't take.
(NO 3 letter monograms please)
- Clothes free of rips/tears/holes, stains, missing or broken buttons/zippers/snaps.
- Clothes that are in style and in excellent condition only!
- Clothes on hangers
- Bows, Ties, Belts, Shoes, Bloomers, Hats, Tights, Socks
Step 2: Tag your clothes!
You have two choices - do you want us to tag for you or do you want to tag?
1. EARLY DROP OFF: For a fee of $25 (that will be deducted from your paycheck), we will tag your clothes for you!
2. REGULAR DROP OFF: For a fee of $5 (that will be deducted from your paycheck), you bring your clothes already tagged directly to our show location.
Tagging Tips:
- Please print tags on white cardstock. Regular paper WILL RIP as shoppers go through clothes and we don't want your tags to fall off!
- Fill out the following information clearly:
Price: This is completely determined by you, but we recommend about 25%-30% of retail
price if used and about 50% if new with tags.
Size: Use standard sizes (i.e. 3m, 6m, 9m, 2T, 3T, etc). Please do not use general sizing (i.e. S, M, L)
Description: Simply describe what you are selling (i.e boy seersucker shorts or girl's pink smocked dress
with bloomers, etc.)
- Attach your tag with a safety pin to the front right area (as you are looking directly at it)
- For bows/headbands, please put in Ziploc bag and put tag inside of bag. You may put more than one bow in a bag.
- For shoes, please put in Ziploc bag and put tag inside of bag. On right side, please write gender and size largely with a black sharpie marker.
