Let Fashion Forward sell your high end "gently worn" designer clothing, and 
	turn it into money for you! Your first consignment is done by appointment only, 
	and we ask for a minimum of ten items. Our proprietor will go through each 
	piece with you to discuss the price. We will also explain why we want to keep 
	certain items, and why we don’t want to keep others. This would also be an 
	excellent time for you to ask any questions you might have.  You then approve 
	the prices, and we will get your items on the floor within a week.  We are 
	here to make this as easy as possible for you. We have had steady success in 
	selling your items at the optimum price for you and for us! Each piece will 
	stay on the floor for approximately three months. At which time, you can opt 
	to either 1) Donate them to charity, or 2) Make an appointment to pick them up.

	(Please Note: If requested, we can arrange to pick-up large quantities of 
	merchandise. Consignments are also accepted via regular mail, UPS, or FedEx. 
	Items that are not selected for Fashion Forward will be sent back to consignor, 
	and the expense will be deducted from consignor’s check.)

	You will receive 50% of the final selling price of each piece. After your items 
	have been on the floor for one month, we will then mark down the price by 20%. 
	After two months, the price is marked down for the original price by 40%. Our 
	last and final mark down to each piece will be a 60% reduction. So you see, 
	our exclusive discount policy will keep customers coming back time after time! 
	This will greatly raise the chance of your item being sold. The markdown system 
	is clear and distinctly designated on each item’s price tag. As the consignor, 
	you will pocket 50% of the price at which we sell your item. For example, if 
	you consign a dress we priced at $100, and it sells within the first month, 
	you will receive $50. However, if it sells two months after it arrives at $60, 
	then you will receive half of that which is $30. For other terms and conditions, 
	please refer to our terms. There is an end-of-season sale twice a year in which 
	selected merchandise is reduced an additional amount from the lowest marked price.

	or not.  We only ask that they be "gently worn" and no more than two years old. We 
	will accept dressy, evening wear, casual, and office attire. We do not accept items 
	that are damaged, stained, wrinkled, or unclean. We prefer that each item be dry 
	cleaned before you bring it in. (Within reason of course! There is no need to dry 
	clean your jeans!) Here are some quick guidelines in case you have a questionable

	Are You Ready For An Appointment?
	Take a close extensive look at the merchandise you’d like to consign and ask yourself, 
	"Why would I like to consign this?"
	
	If your answer is, "It’s gorgeous and I adore it BUT…"
		• I will never be able to fit into it again
		• The color isn’t me
		• It doesn’t fit with my current style of life, so it will never be worn again
		• It’s been hanging in my closet for some time and I haven’t even removed the tags
		• It was an impulsive purchase or gift and I just can’t see myself in it anymore

	STOP!
	Give us a call for an appointment today! 
	Center City location: 215-772-0217
	Chestnut Hill location: 215-247-3868
	
	If your answer is:
		• It’s terribly worn
		• It needs to be repaired
		• It’s not in style any longer
		• It’s not well made
		• It’s old, and I just want to get it out of my closet!
	
	STOP!
	Shoppers would most likely share your viewpoint, so it’s not likely Fashion Forward 
	will accept them either. Perhaps you could donate them to a charity.

	Please use your best judgment concerning labels. The following list has been formed 
	from our experience with what sells best in our store, Fashion Forward. 
	If a certain brand has not been mentioned, please bring in the item for
