If you can’t find it at the mall, it doesn’t exist. Ummmmm, no
FATE is a consignment shop that suits about everyone so you can find that gem you've been looking for. so we have it all! With the surge of internet shoppers and more than ever busy lives, we're getting a lot of new consignment- yep, a lot with tags! We keep up with current trends but we‘re more attracted to those rare items that define (or challenge) your own personal style. With new consignment being hauled in everyday- this week you could pick up a vintage Escada blouse and next week a brand new Stella McCartney bag. Or, maybe what you've been looking for has no brand- it's just the coolest bamboo bag or vintage earrings you've ever seen. Stop in, find your FATE.
CONSIGN
Okay, let's get real. Sixteen years ago when we started this business as Ali's Closet, we were one of a hand full of consignment shops in Denver. We've experienced many shops close, and many open and close within a few years. Why? With the insurgence of big online marketplaces like ThredUp and The RealReal, and the popularity of 'sell your own stuff' sites like Poshmark and NextDoor, the climate has shifted. Even shops that typically carry new inventory have a used selection of clothing and accessories now. Resale is a multi-billion dollar a year industry, and luckily, FATE is still in the game! Resale shopping attracts consumers from all economic levels. There is no typical resale shopper, just as there is no typical resale shop. No one is immune to the excitement of finding a treasure and saving money. Astute shoppers take advantage of that savings while addlquality to their life when money saved (or made) is used for vacations, entertainment, funding college or expanding family activities. With an increasing awareness of the importance of reducing waste, we are progressing from a disposable society to a recycling society- that's pretty stinking cool! Plus, when you consign in Colorado with a Colorado born business, your money and the benefits of that money stays in Colorado. FATE is proud to be a Coloradoan and we're especially proud to be your "new" favorite consignment shop.
CABOODLE
The definition of the whole (kit and) caboodle means: everything there is. In FATE's case, that means everything from handmade ceramics to mid-century barware. The "kit" could be the cutest potted plant you've ever seen to the "caboodle"- a rare edition of Little Women. Thing is, you just never know until you stop in on the regs.

50/50 SPLIT
We wouldn't have a shop if it wasn't for you so we're an equal 50/50 partnership. You actually make more than the shop because of overhead, tags, staff, etc. That's pretty cool! Items are on a discount schedule and reduced by 20% one week before you consignment ends. Occasionally, we have special events and offer a discount to guests/shoppers. Often we're only reducing a particular style of item on the floor- like 20% OFF handbags at one event and then 20% off jewelry at another.

Your consignment contract is for 60 days. That's pretty self explanatory.
