How to Consign at Houndstooth (BOSTON)

We’re excited to receive your pre-loved items for consignment at Houndstooth Boston or Houndstooth Hamilton. Here’s what you need to know:

  • We accept current women's clothing, footwear, accessories and women's jewelry.

  • Items should be ‘like new’, gently used, or new with tags (NWT).

  • Per visit to Houndstooth, you should please limit your consigned items to no more than 20 of your best items.

 

  •  We prefer in-season items but can accept some limited pre-season goods at our discretion. 

  • Houndstooth will steam and present items to their best advantage. If we find a tear, stain, holes or other defect, items will be donated, except for “Luxury Items."

  •  Please note, if you need to drop off and prefer not to wait for us to assess your items, you may leave your goods provided any unaccepted items will be donated at Houndstooth’s discretion.

  •  We cannot return hangers or shoeboxes accompanying your consignment, so if you anticipate wanting these back, please do not leave them with us.

  • Be advised that your items may be marketed or sold at any Houndstooth location. 

 

Payment, Fees and Commissions:

 

Please pay special attention to the following:

  • Payments: If your consignment balance is $50 or more, your check will be mailed on or about the 1st of each month. (If balances are less than $50, then balances are retained in consignors account, however consignors may present in person to request a check.

  • Postage Fee: A check postage fee of $2.00 will be deducted from any check mailed to you.

  • Handling Fee: Please note that a handling fee of $1.00 is added to the sale price of each item, payable to Houndstooth and charged to the buyer (not to the Consignor) to defray costs of steaming, cleaning, presentation and wrapping.

The above rules, terms and conditions apply to the Houndstooth LLC Consignment Agreement, as they may be applied from time to time, and may be changed without notice by Houndstooth LLC in its sole discretion.
