A Guide To Selling Your Items With Studio61
At Studio61, we buy and consign a carefully edited mix of contemporary designer, luxury, and high-quality Australian fashion. We hand select each piece for style, quality, season, and condition so it’s ready for its next life on the shop floor.
What We Look For
Brand: quality labels with craftsmanship and original design.
Leather: we love designer leather bags
Fabric: we favour natural, premium and eco textiles
Condition: clean, fresh, no stains, odours, pilling, or damage.
Seasonality: we buy in line with the current season and local climate.
Demand: selections vary with what’s selling, sizes needed, and what’s already in store.
Accessories: we love sunglasses, belts and jewellery
We don’t accept fast fashion, corporate workwear, formal/bridesmaid gowns, uniforms, or visibly worn/unclean items.

Footwear
Footwear is tricky to sell unless in pristine condition. We only accept styles we know we can sell such as high end sneakers, flat shoes and some luxury items. Very high heels are hard to sell (even if they are luxury brands) so we tend to avoid heels higher than 5 cm.
