How will YOU celebrate Earth Day this Thursday? (At Collage we hope!)

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

 EarthDayWorldSo How Are YOU Going To Celebrate
 EARTH DAY on Thursday, April 22?
(We’re going to celebrate it all weekend!)

How About a Little ‘Green’ Shopping?

GreenFormal(Not exactly what I meant by ‘Green’…)
 
Maybe Collage Can Help!
This Thursday, all locations of Collage Designer Consignment are recognizing Earth Day as a reminder of one very EASY and FUN way to save the Earth’s resources….
Shop Consignment! 
Not only are you keeping perfectly fabulous clothes out of landfills, but we aren’t receiving shipping boxes & plastic packaging of new items, less pesticides are used because more cotton doesn’t need to be grown to fill our inventory and the list goes on!
Is there a more FUN way to conserve and recycle than shopping consignment?
We don’t think so!!

April22World
So What’s Happening at Collage on Thursday?
Snacks?  YES!  (How does dirt cake sound?)
First 25 to checkout get a CUTE hot pink recyclable tote bag!
Bring in up to 4 cute Spring Chico’s items get a $5 coupon!* (each)
Bring in up to 2 pair of designer jeans get a $10 coupon!* (each)
AND…. Don’t forget to use your Earth Day coupon below all weekend (Thurs – Sat)!

*Items must fit our regular consignment guidelines. 
Jeans must be high-end such as 7 for ALL Mankind, Citizens for Humanity, etc.. and retail over $130

Show the World How You Feel About Consignment Shopping!

Planet - Cactus New
This shirt looks so much better in person!!  Our Save the Planet, Shop Consignment t-shirt makes such a statement and shows that not only do you CARE about the Earth’s resources but  you are smart enough to DO something about it! 
(And it also shows that you know the BEST way to shop!)
Through our sister company, Consignment Chic, we’ve designed a line of private-label consignment-themed t-shirts that we’ve been selling to consignment shops across the country and they have been FLYING out the door in time for EARTH DAY! We sold out of our first run and then printed more and have sold out of smaller sizes again!
Hurry and get yours today!
We have a limited supply of Large – 3X in stock in a soft Cactus Green
that is hard to see how pretty it is in the picture above.
How can you get your Save the Planet shirt?

But hurry! They really are going FAST!
Hint – The shirt is green and is $16.98 BUT….take a look at the coupon below….

What’s New for Spring?

Friday, February 26th, 2010

You HAVE to COME IN and SEE all these CUTE SPRING ACCESSORIES for yourself!  I just had the best market trip in a long time and when you come to Collage you’ll see what I mean!  

Since this is a quick note to give you FIRST DIBS, I don’t have many pictures to show you.  You’ll just have to come in and see all these amazing purses, colorful scarves and great looking jewelry for yourself!  Come see us ASAP because these new Spring accessories are already selling fast!

Below are THREE of the NEW 2010 Spring Trends that we loaded up on. 

#1 Trend – FLOWERS

You are going to see flowers on purses, necklaces, pins, RINGS, scarves – EVERYWHERE.  I’m not talking floral prints, although you’ll see that, too – even in prom dresses – but what we are seeing is THREE-DIMENSIONAL flowers!  And you’ll find them all throughout all the Collage stores!

#2 Trend – LUCITElucite flower

Especially in jewelry, you’ll see lucite in clear, in bright colors and in smoky hues.  And when you combine lucite WITH flowers you are really on trend!  We’ve got them at Collage RIGHT NOW!   Start thinking ahead to what you are going to wear for Easter.  You may want to design your outfit around a cute lucite flower necklace!

#3 Trend – ZIPPERSzipper cuff

We started seeing zippers in jewelry and purses in the Fall and now they’ve made their way into bracelets, rings and and in non-traditional ways in apparel.  Then picture a 3-D flower edged with a zipper trim on a purse and you’ll be Ms Spring Fashion 2010!  Come to Collage and get yours!

We have much more, but these 3 trends above are so easy to interpret for all ages that we think YOU are going to have a great time with fashion this Spring, too!

Chic_t-shirtOh, and by the way, we are expecting our consignment-themed t-shirts to be in the stores NEXT week and will keep you posted!  You are going to LOVE them!!

 

See you soon at Collage!
