All About National Consignment Day

What is Consignment?

Consignment is a business arrangement in which one party (the consignor) provides goods to another party (the consignee) to sell on their behalf. In this arrangement, the consignor retains ownership of the goods until they are sold by the consignee. Once sold, the consignee takes a pre-agreed percentage of the sale and the consignor receives the rest.

This arrangement is particularly popular in the resale and secondhand markets, including clothing, furniture and luxury goods. Consignment allows individuals and businesses to earn money from unused or unwanted items while enabling consumers to purchase goods at lower prices than retail. It also supports sustainable shopping by promoting reuse and extending the lifecycle of products.

History of National Consignment Day

National Consignment Day was established by The RealReal, a luxury consignment retailer, in 2017 to raise awareness about the environmental and economic benefits of consignment. Observed on the first Monday of October, the day encourages consumers to consider the value of consigning and reselling items instead of discarding them.

This day aligns with a growing interest in sustainable practices. By promoting consignment, National Consignment Day encourages people to see their purchases as investments that can yield returns even after the initial use. It highlights the environmental impact of reducing waste, supporting the circular economy, and the positive influence of sustainable fashion on the planet.
