FALLING INTO FALL! |
| Finally Fall! |
Falling
into Fall is kind of like falling in love. There is that snap and rush
to your senses and, just like that, you are smitten. Indeed, how can one
not love the thought of cooler, crisp weather, the gleaming red of
crunchy apples, the bright orange of pumpkins, the blanket you finally
get a chance to snuggle under, and the wonderful colors of the fashions
of Fall?
| Red Valentino Suit |
We
have an abundance of stunning autumnal designer pieces for our
shoppers! Peruse everything from lightweight jackets and coats, cashmere
wraps and sweaters, luxurious suits, beautiful designer scarves, suede
and exotic skin purses, belts and shoes.
| Suede Louboutins |
The
best part about these new items is the array of marvelous colors and
fabrics! Rich caramel brown, taupe suede, soft charcoal grey, shades of
cinnamon and gold, bright berry red, deep burgundy, and animal printed
everything. There are amethyst and jewel-toned taffetas, luscious
heather tweeds, sumptuous sweaters, leather slacks, delectable dresses
and elegant evening designs.
It
is just terrific to experience the change of seasons (even in Florida)
and the way that Fall fashions can exuberantly welcome you with a "new"
look! So, come on in and take a peek at our kind of Fall! |
INVESTMENT DRESSING |
| Chanel Sweater Coat |
During the last
year of wild and crazy swings in the economy, it is fair to say that
the old adage of investing for the long run still holds true. This
lesson can absolutely be applied to fashion and is becoming more
prevalent as women of style and substance return to the "classics" to
see their wardrobes through this unpredictable economic period.
| Chanel Black Boots |
While
buying classic pieces have always been the gold standard around which
fashion icons would create their "look" with marvelous accessories and
trendy "this season" items, it has become the wise and prudent way to
shop now.
| Nancy Gonzales Croc Purse |
In
fact, according to NARTS, the world's largest resale trade association
(of which we are members), "in recent years of economic flux, when
people watched their retirement accounts dwindle, resale has attracted
even more consumers. A new breed of shopper has discovered resale and is
taking advantage of the values found in both purchasing and consigning
or selling gently-used items."
Getting value for your dollar is of prime importance and what better way than a few important pieces around which you

build your "investment" closet. Who could argue with the sense
of owning a timeless Chanel jacket, an impeccably made Gucci or Hermes
handbag, a classic pair of Louboutin or Jimmy Choo pumps, a fabulous
Ferragamo scarf, a stunning St. John suit?
These investment pieces are the fashion linchpins for the smart and best dressed

women.
Consignment shopping allows one to purchase these marvelous, chic and
expensive items at a fraction of their original cost-and it is this
concept that is the real purpose of investment dressing-to be able to
blend accessible, incredible value with timeless quality and style. |
SOMETHING TO LOOK
FORWARD TO! |
| Fur Vest |
We
love October because our new, must-have furs begin to arrive for
"season". Keep your eyes open for the stunning line of brand new furs,
shawls, evening wraps, collars and other fun fur pieces from our
exclusive furrier, Skaneateles Furs.
| Wrap |
Whether
you prefer sable or mink, formal or funky-casual, natural or brightly
colored, we will have an unparalled selection! Our first shipment is due
mid-October, so check in often-the fur literally flies out of the store
as anxious customers pounce on the marvelous creations sent to us by
long-time furrier and friend Eloise Luchsinger! |
LAY-AWAY! |
"Everything
old is new again"! And that brings us to a marketing tool of the
past-the Lay-Away! Classic Collections has decided to institute the
availability of a Lay-Away program. This concept is especially
appropriate for consignment shoppers because typically the item that we
have is either unique or we only have ONE of them!
We
can't tell you how many times someone has fallen in love with a
fabulous purse, pair of shoes, dress, eveningwear, fur or piece of
jewelry only to say they will have to wait a day...week...month before
they can purchase that special item. Inevitably, they will come back all
excited to make their purchase, only to find that it has already been
sold. Unfortunately, we can't indefinitely hold merchandise or call the
manufacturer to order another one...and the buyer loses out. Which truly
is unnecessary when we offer a plan for shoppers who can benefit from a
Lay-Away program!
All
Lay-Aways are considered Final Sales and one item per customer will be
permitted at a time. We will require a minimum of one-third of the sales
price initially and the remaining balance one month later. The
merchandise will be removed from the sales floor and will be waiting for
your pickup! For pricey items, flexible and custom payment plans will
be considered. This program will be available in the future
for our Web Boutique. We hope that this program will make our beautiful,
quality merchandise more accessible to all of our shoppers! |
WELCOME! |
| Bethany |
We
are pleased to welcome Bethany Popp to our professional sales staff! A
graduate of the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Bethany has used her
B.S. in Fashion Merchandising wisely. With a background in retail
(Jessica McClintock, Nordstrom's and others) Bethany comes to us from
jewelry designer Charles Albert. Seen here in one of Charles Albert's
unique and incredible designs (which we proudly carry at Classic
Collections), you will find Bethany a delight to work with! |
NOW ACCEPTING FALL CONSIGNMENTS! |
| Bring Your Bags! |
Admit it. It's a
safe bet that you, along with every woman you know, has items in their
closets that no longer fit, that were never worn, that were well-meant
but unloved gifts, that were "what was I thinking?" purchases or just
haven't meshed with the rest of your wardrobe.
Classic
Collections is currently ACCEPTING FALL SEASONAL MERCHANDISE. We
particularly welcome your high-end designer and luxury clothing (dresses
and jackets), handbags, scarves, accessories or jewelry! We prefer new,
unused or gently worn merchandise that is clean, in perfect condition
and is currently in style. At this time, we are NOT accepting shoes,
winter suits and gowns. Please hold off on these items until November
and December.
The Golden Rule of
consignment shopping applies: "What you bring in to consign is something
that YOU would want to buy"! Don't forget, what you no longer need or
want is someone else's treasure! |
EXCITING NEWS!! |
| Gold Jewelry |
We are going to be
offering our consignors the opportunity to bring in gold and silver
jewelry for resale! Classic Collections will have appraisal services
available to professionally price merchandise and will be showcasing
this fine jewelry in the shop. Security measures are in place and we
invite you to go through all of your jewelry and bring in that which you
no longer wear or want. Why let it sit in a drawer? By selling unused
items, you can buy new treasures without the guilt! Please call for an
appointment to evaluate and consign your fine jewelry. Appointments are a
must! |
