Is it true that you buy clothes?

Yes!

So not on commission, I’ll get cash right away?

Exactly. You also have the option of choosing store credit instead of cash, in which case you will be credited 20% more than if you opt for cash. So if we were to buy things from you for CHF 50 in cash, you can also opt for shop credit in the amount of CHF 60.

And you buy everything I bring?

Nooooo! We’re selecting the pieces we think we can sell. After 12 years in business we have a good idea what works in our stores and what doesn’t – please don’t take it personally and give us a bad review on Google because you’re frustrated we had to pass on your clothes.

What kind of clothes are you looking for?

Cool, fun, fashion-forward and also timeless pieces for urban people. We take Fast Fashion clothes too, because we believe that since they’re here already, they should be worn as long as possible. Stilewise: Cos and The Frankie Shop are good examples.

And how exactly does it work if I want to sell something?

You come by with your laundered, nice-smelling, seasonal items in very good condition (without an appointment and please no more than fits in one Ikea bag for your first visit), we look through everything and tell you what we want and how much we can pay for those items. If you agree, we have a deal. If not, then not - no hard feelings.

Okay, understood. Should I maybe call ahead anyway to ask if it is really true that you buy things for cash and whether I should just come by without an appointment?

We’d rather you didn’t.

Is it the same in all your stores?

Yes.

Do you also take shoes?

Yes.

Do you also take accessories?

Yes.

Do you also take children’s clothes?

Yes, at Josefstrasse, we do.

Do you also take men’s clothes?

Yes.

Suits and business shirts?

No. We focus on casual everyday clothing.

How much do I get for my items?

Basically you can expect to get around 10-20% of the original price. Sometimes we pay more when we really love something; sometimes a little less if we think that it would otherwise become too expensive or if it’s no longer in mint condition. Our selling price will then be three times what you got.

What, I only get so little? It’s almost new!

In most cases this is more than what you would get at a flea market. Otherwise see «Why is this so expensive? It's secondhand!».

When can I come by?

Anytime, without an appointment. However, during opening hours there’s a better chance of us being there also. (Buying Mon—Fri 12—17, Sat 11—16h)
