It starts - with such emotion

For nearly 25 years Dress Exchange Agencies have flourished in the UK and a similar amount of time for Consignment Agencies as they are known in the USA. But there are none that I can find in Spain so HERE GOES!!!
The theory is straightforward. People (women only to start with) bring their pre loved designer clothes to the agency and other people come and buy it. The seller gets paid for what would only either gather dust in the wardrobe or eventually get thrown out, the buyers get designer clothes at great prices and the agencies takes a share of the sale price.
Seems simple. But in Barcelona we have so many great small designers that, whilst the clothes are great and stylish, we don´t always know the designer. This is NOT helpful when it comes to pricing! A great deal of research is needed to be fair to both buyer and seller. It is good fun doing the research but it is really time consuming and gets in the way of all the other requirements such as photographing the clothes, organising displays, promotion and of course, writing the blog.
So to the person who made life MUCH easier by bring in a pair of Versace jeans, a VERY big THANK YOU!!
