ABOUT US
BEST OF THE BEST
Relatively new to the "high end" consignment business in Palm Beach, Classic Collections has made a major splash and very quickly garnered a well-deserved reputation as Palm Beach's premier designer and fashion re-sale boutique.
Showcasing the "Best of the Best", Classic Collections only accepts well-known designer women's apparel, handbags, shoes and accessories that have been "momentarily worn" or are brand new. With the extremely high level of sophistication, wealth and taste that defines the affluent Palm Beach area market, our Consignors have allowed us to offer a selection of merchandise that is simply unparalleled in the re-sale industry.
PASSION FOR FASHION
You either have a "passion for fashion" or you don't. In Palm Beach, we are extremely fortunate to have Consignors with exquisite taste who are avid collectors of designer and couture clothing, handbags, shoes and accesories. These sophisticated, discerning people bring Classic Collections items from around the world that reflect their "passion for fashion" and their eye for extraordinary, unique or simply impeccably hand-made treasures.
THE FUN OF THE HUNT
Classic Collections has an abundant and continuous flow of top-quality merchandise from our Consignors in the Palm Beach area communities, as well as those locations that many of these fashionable people enjoy during the summer season. As our reputation has spread, we have made many new consignor friends through the USA and Europe. With this ever-growing world-wide connectin, the "Hunt" becomes even sweeter as we offer an outstanding array of distinctive and classic merchandise that is unparalleled in most re-sale shops.
RESALE THRIVES IN ANY ECONOMY
According to NARTS (National Association of Resale and Thrift Shops), the resale industry is one of the few recession proof segments of the retail business. In fact, Adele Meyer, Executive director of NARTS says, "Not only does the resale industry survive during economic slowdows, but it grows and thrives." The appeal is two-fold, consumers are attracted to buying quality merchandise at a fraction of the original cost and there is also a financial incentive to sell, consign or donate unused or unwanted items. With the economy posing a challenge and the fact that many people have an overabundance of possessions, savvy SHOPPERS and SELLERS are realizing a real need to recycle. Clearly, the industry offers the best of both worlds for customers, the chance to shop and save, and for consignors the opportunity to turn no longer needed articles into cash!
NARTS MEMBER
Classic Collections is a proud to be a member of NARTS (National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops). This trade association for the resale/consignment industry provides communication, education and information about industry trends, networking, marketing and advertising, product vendors and guidelines for professional development. With over 1,000 members, the Association promotes public recognition of the industry and provides consumers with information of member shops.
COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIPS
We are active members of the Palm Beach Chamber of Commerce as well as the Royal Poinciana Assocition, a destination shopping area that offers a diverse selection of wonderful retail shops and restaurants. Both of these organizations provide the opportunity for Classic Collections to work with the other committed local business leaders in promoting the services and unique qualities that make Palm Beach so very special to residents and visitors alike.
CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES
As active participants in our community, we believe in 'giving back' and work with various charities throughout the year. Classic Collections has donated new merchandise for Charity Auctions to such groups as schools, charities benefiting sick children, animal rescue organizations and others. We also offer a Charitable Donation Policy in which we donate part of our profits to charities that our Consignors have earmarked for donations out of their consignment proceeds.
