Guidelines for selling to Mothertree.

  • The Product

    We buy clothes. Yes, we love vintage, but our main focus is on QUAILTY over age. We welcome hand-me-down quality clothing of any age. We look for natural materials—wool, silk, cotton and linen —not so much polyester or synthetic materials. We buy art and homegoods as well but require photos first via email. We only buy higher-end shoes, ie Frye, Dr. Marten, designer, etc.

  • The Process

    Bring your clean items, packaged in a large shopping bag, plastic tote (or even a trash bag will do). If we have time at drop off we will go through the contents on the spot and offer approx 1/3 of the price we will put on them. For items of greater value ($120+) we offer closer to 40%. We pay with check or Venmo. Then, we find new homes for your lovely items.

  • We LOVE this.

    I often tell people that my job feels like finding new loving homes for previously loved puppies. Puppies that have been in a closet too long and want to go out and play. We understand how important items can be, and it’s not always easy to let them go. But we strive to do our job with love and understanding, handling your items or your loved one’s items with care and understanding.
