We are currently purchasing spring items. Spring dresses, short sleeve blouses, light long sleeve shirts, skirts, shorts, etc. are desired (see full list below). There are some items we purchase year-round that may not be "in-season", as noted in the detailed list below.
We are overstocked with women's jeans, pants & shoes, and will be extremely selective in what we purchase. All shoes must be in "like new" condition for us to consider purchasing! We will also be extremely selective in purchasing discount brand clothing (accepting very limited and unique items of brands such as Forever 21, Target, Charlotte Russe, Wet Seal, etc.).

What do we pay for clothing?
We offer 25% in store credit or 12.5% in cash – of the price we might be able to sell the item for in the current season. We resell most non-premium items between $6 – $12, so you will receive on average from $1.50 to $3 each in store credit or $.75 to $1.50 in cash for each piece.
We pay extra for most premium labels, vintage and highly unique items. Conversely, we discount items from lower-end brands (i.e. Forever 21, Target, Charlotte Russe, etc.).
You do not have to wait for the items to sell, you receive cash or store credit for the items. You have six months to use the store credit.
Why can’t we pay more?
Some stores pay up to 50%…. Consignment stores do not pay you UNLESS your item sells, and their prices are often much, much higher than ours. Bohème is not a consignment shop. We pay you regardless of whether it sells, so we take all the risk because we don’t know if the item will sell or not. At $6-$12 for most items, Bohème is a low cost alternative shop and we couldn’t offer our customers these low prices if we paid more for clothing that we are not sure we can resell. Hope you understand.
Please keep in mind that even though we love to purchase or trade for all kinds of stylish and fun clothing, we have very limited space to keep "out-of-season" items and typically can't pay for clothing that we feel would be sitting and not selling for months. If we are unable to purchase or trade for your items that are out-of-season, you could hold onto them until a later date... or we would always appreciate you donating them to our store!
