Consignments

Whether you want to free up space or bought something on impulse, consigning with the Designer Archives ensures you achieve the best price for your treasures. We take the hassle out of reselling your items and save you from burdensome online auctions. Auction sites charge more than 30% in fees and achieve as little as 10% of the recommended retail price. We market your luxury goods to achieve the best return possible.
