Thank you for wanting to pass on your treasures to Briefly Beautiful for another person to enjoy!
A few things…
One, please consider the integrity of the store and only bring unique clothing dating earlier than the year 2000.
Two, please be ready to leave items with the store without a pre-inventory check, as we do not buy a lot of inventory from outside sources. These items are carefully selected and may have to sit at the store for up to two weeks. If you do not feel comfortable in either of these situations, please email me to make arrangements along with photos to susie@brieflybeautiful.com, and we can discuss them.
Third, if your items are truly valuable, please sell them on your own, as the store may be unable to pay you what you feel is worth or what you paid. We kindly accept items for the store that cover broad scopes of value but do not have many items over $100. Customers shop at Briefly Beautiful for unique, curated, affordable vintage finds. We’d like to keep it this way and try to purchase easily washable, wearable, and vintage items suitable for many occasions!
Items you sell are paid with cash or store credit upon pickup. No cash advances or store credits are available during drop-off.
Prices vary on each piece based on size, style, season, condition, and brand. Your items will be assessed for price as each item in the store is.
Thank you for considering passing your treasures on!
We appreciate the lovely members of the community who have donated very special, unique, and beautiful finds to the store in hopes they will find a loving new home. They will! Thank You!
This community program allows Briefly Beautiful to buy items of unique quality from people around the area. A convenient way for customers to maintain a sustainable way to refresh their wardrobes while earning cash, store credit, or trading for vintage clothing items that align with the store’s curated styles and brand names. This program is designed to cater to fashion-conscious individuals who appreciate high-quality, stylish pieces and are looking to part ways with items that no longer serve them. Their time has been briefly beautiful, and should be celebrated by another person accordingly!
At Briefly Beautiful, customers can bring in a variety of items such as vintage clothing, discontinued perfume, select shoes, authentic vintage costume jewelry, lingerie, and accessories like belts and scarves to sell or trade. Susie carefully evaluates each item to ensure that it meets the standards of the brand and fits within the curated styles offered. While most vintage clothing items are accepted, jewelry undergoes high selection scrutiny to maintain the quality and aesthetic of the store’s offerings.
Clients who participate in the program can benefit from the opportunity to declutter their closets, earn unintended value for their items, and discover unique vintage pieces from the boutique to add to their collections. By embracing this sustainable approach to fashion, Briefly Beautiful encourages customers to embrace conscious consumption and contribute to a more environmentally friendly shopping experience. No fast fashion here!
As long as the item meets the standards for the store, it’s likely we will want to purchase! Each client receives their own bid for items as price depends on condition, season, brand, and style. You may decide to accept or decline, and then your payment will be determined.
For the best experience, we suggest you call 314-448-1710 to arrange a private time to bring your items. Coming during store hours may lead to a delay in purchasing as we work to ensure guests have the help they need while shopping what we already have in stock!
We look forward to seeing the treasures you have. Many have offered to come in with their belongings. When will you bring yours?
