Bellocchio Upscale Resale requires an appointment for consignment and items are placed on the floor shortly after the meeting. Bellocchio takes women's designer clothing that is of high-end name brands on a 90-day contract. Once the period has passed, the consignor can pick up the merchandise for a small one-time fee or the company will donate it to the Dress for Success charity with a tax receipt form for donations. Prices for sale are reduced to 60 to 70 percent off retail prices so not only can consignors look to sell, items can be found for a bargain to spice up the wardrobe.

The consignment shop is for women's items only and sells the pieces in six dedicated rooms in the historic house. One of the rooms is even set aside for a clearance selection. All items must be clean, wrinkle free and no odor. Items will be accepted or rejected on the spot and any addition rejections during the first 48 hours will be notified. Those items must be picked up or they will be donated and not placed in inventory. See the shop's website for specific instructions on consigning clothing, accessories and other items.
