Calling all Creative, Kick-Ass Vendors to Sell at Our Boutique

Le Thrift Consignment is looking for lovely ladies or gents who have kick-ass gift products that they would like to consign with us during the holiday season.

We have noticed a spike in sales of gift items at our retail location, hence wanting to give our clients more options. We would also like to feature these products online at our e-commerce site.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for items fashion, beauty, home decor related. Items that are handmade or original. They cannot conflict with the vendors that already sell with us.


Chicago Candle Factory's amazing candles
What have we sold in the past that has done well?

We have had success stories with Chicago Candle Factory, Mashallah Jewelry, Mercury Sunglasses and Balmies Lip Balm.

How does consignment work? 
You bring us the goods, we sell them for you. You will receive a handy portal that tracks your product and sales so you know your balance. We pay you out monthly.


Mashallah Chicago bracelets
What do we expect from our vendors? 
If you are a cosmetic or beauty line, we need samples for our customers to try the product. We also need branded displays that tell our customers who you are. If product gets low or stale, we expect you to refresh the inventory monthly.

Be realistic with your pricing. If the product is priced to high, it's not going to move. Also, remember that consignment means that we take a cut of the sales. We are offering our vendors 60% of sale with this promotion.


Mercury Sunglasses vintage style
Along with selling at our boutique and online, you will have a feature on our blog about your product.

How do I submit my product?
Email Christine at christines@lethrift.com with links or photos of your product, price point and information about you and your brand. 


Don't take it personally
If you submit, and we decide that your product is not a good fit, there may be a million reasons why. You might have the best product ever... but it may not be a good fit for our customer or niche. 

That's it for now!

Audrey Inspiration-A Classic Pearl Necklace with a Twist


At LeThrift we have the lovely Audrey Hepburn to look to daily for style inspiration.  It's almost as if she is watching over the store and every customer that comes in to help them find that special item.The painting was inspired by Audrey's iconic character in Breakfast at Tiffany's.  A classic movie to watch for great style inspiration from the clothes to the interiors, but not exactly a favorite.  Watch the movie for the fashion because that is the best thing about it.

Pearl necklaces will be forever classic and timeless. Pearls are heirloom pieces. Who wants a pearl necklace that looks exactly like everyone else's though?  I have nightmares about someone wearing the same thing as me.  Certainly I'm not the only one?!?  Part of the reason why I prefer to shop vintage and local designs is it helps to ease the fear of being someone's twin.  I adore classic pieces, but with a twist, a pop, or a sparkle.

A fabulous chunky, baroque pearl necklace made by a local artist.  This necklace sparkles with different sizes, textures, and colors of pearls and crystals.

A vintage faux pearl necklace mixed with black beads and metal chains.  All tie together with a delicate black bow in the back.

A vintage multi-strand faux pearl necklace accented with black and smoky grey quartz like stones.

This locally made necklace is a delicate blend of white baroque pearls and clear quartz.

Mixing and mingling of baroque pearls and black onyx beads in multiple layers this necklace is handcrafted by a Chicago artist.

Choose the piece that feels the best to you, the piece you don't want to put down, and can't stop thinking about. Jewelry shopping should never stressful. It's a treat.  Remember to have fun with your pearls.

The Perfect Handbag

Any fashionista could tell you that the perfect handbag is a key piece in every gal's wardrobe.  A great bag should be thought of as an investment in your style- a staple piece that will define your look for decades to come.  But what about us thriftonistas?  Most of us don't have hundreds of dollars handy to invest on amazing designer bags.  What we can do is spend a much smaller amount of our hard earned dollars on an equally amazing handbag from Le Thrift.  

Whether you are a label-lover, or a seeker of all things vintage, LeThrift.com has an amazing collection of gently used bags.  Looking for Kate Spade, Coach, or Dooney & Bourke?  Le Thrift has tons of designer treasures.  It can be our little secret that you paid a fraction of the retail price.  It's okay to spoil yourself sometimes thriftonistas, you deserve it!
