How To Consign At Cuties
It’s as easy as A-B-C to consign with Cutie Patuties!
A. Approach your child’s closet (Don’t be afraid, it won’t bite)—Identify which items no longer fit, are they still in great shape? Are they Clean, Current and Cute? Bundle those items for this season, label and pack next season’s items so you are ready.
B. Bring this season’s items to Cutie Patuties. Consignments accepted 7 days a week, 10am - 3pm —No Appointments needed!
C. Count your Cash! Your account starts to add up as soon as your items sell!
Repeat your A-B-Cs as needed!

Spring/ Summer items
December 1st - May 31st

Do I sign a contract with you?
A. Yes! We want to make sure you understand how it works, so we do ask that you sign an agreement with us. You can read it over and click HERE to download our consignment agreement.
Can I really consign without an appointment?
A. YES! We have open drop off 7 days a week, 10am - 3pm. You can drop off up to 2 laundry baskets worth of clothing (use our baskets & hangers), or 2 up to kitchen sized bags of shoes & accessories, or toys & books. Your choice of what to bring in, just up to 2 per day (but we're happy to see you again tomorrow if you have more to clean out of your closets later!)
Can I consign almost any baby or kids’ items?
A. YES! We love it all. Just keep in mind your items must be Clean, Cute and Currently in-season (December 1st thru May 31 = Spring / Summer, June 1 - November 30th = Fall / Winter) and in great shape. That means we don’t want clothes with rips, stains, missing buttons, animal hair or yucky smells on them. Items with multiple pieces or attachments need all pieces and all items must be in working order, including batteries or light bulbs, if needed. (Of course, we DO understand that your items will be gently used.)

I have heard clothing must be delivered to you on plastic hangers. Is that true?
A. Yes. But we will give you free hangers, in advance, or once you get to the store. To save you time we suggest picking up hangers beforehand, and hanging your items at home. This also gives you the chance to inspect the clothes so you only bring in items in great condition.

How much money do I make?
A. You may choose to receive monies owed to you either by store credit or in cash. If you keep your monies owed as store credit you earn an additional 5% for all items sold, earing up to 55% of the sales price. If you would like to pick up your monies earned in cash, you can pick up your account balance with your Photo ID up to $100.00 at any store location. Once your account reaches over $100, a check is issued on the 1st of the following month, available to pick up after the 1st. We set the price on each item we sell. See below for a link to the current consignment contract.

How do I get paid?
A. Once you’re a consignor, your account is updated automatically when your items are sold. You can then use your credit towards a purchase at any time. If you want to receive your payments as cash, come into the store, show us a picture ID, and we’ll pay you in cash for any amount we owe you under $100. Checks are printed on the first of each month for consignors owed $100 or more and are available for pickup in store after the 1st.

To earn even more, keep your earned money as store credit to use towards future purchases. Keeping your earnings as store credit adds 5% to your payout. This can mean you earn enough from last season to buy new items for the season coming up. Pretty sweet deal, huh?
If the items you bring in are unaccepted or unsold within the consignment period (60-90 days), they will be donated to local charities.
How do I know how much money I’ve earned?
A. There’s an app for that! Actually, when you sign up as a consignor, you will receive online account access so you can check your balance from home. It’s fun to watch your money grow!
