Consign with Us

How it works

Basically, you bring us your gently used clothing and accessories, we sell it on your behalf, and take a cut.

Why Trove?

Trove is one of the most popular consignment boutiques in Ottawa. When you consign with us, you not only receive cash for your items, but we also offer a 20% discount if you choose to spend your consignment balance in the store.

    We send e-transfers free of charge for balances over $100 and at a charge of $2 for balances under $100. If your balance is under $100, feel free to come to the store any time during our store hours to collect your balance in cash. If you decide to spend your balance back in the store, you will get 20% off your entire purchase.

  • You will receive an email notification when any of your items reach their expiration date. We will hold these expired items for one week from the date of the notification. After this period, the items will be donated to a women's shelter on your behalf unless you request a specific extension beforehand.

  • You can collect your balance in store at any time free of charge. Balances over $100 will be sent via e-transfers at no charge, there is a $2 fee for e-transfer requests under $100.

    Please email info@trovefashion.com to request a payout via e-transfer. E-transfers are sent Tuesday and Friday mornings.

    The reason for the $2 fee: Corporate bank accounts charge per e-transfer. Due to the numerous requests for e-transfers on small account balances, we have implemented a fee for accounts under $100 to help us recoup some of these costs and control the amount of e-transfers each month.

    Note: If you spend your balance back in the store, you will receive 20% off your entire purchase.
