Donate Luxury Fashion and Make a Difference
When you're cleaning out your closet, you might set aside a few items to consign at The RealReal or a local retail shop. That's a great way to get a return on your investment. However, your designer handbag or luxury dress can also make a significant impact on a woman's life by donating it to Dress for Success San Francisco. We collect these items all year, and we are currently sourcing for our Holiday Soiree Pop-Up Shop on November 17, 2024.
In our Career Wardrobe program, we aim to provide high quality, professional clothing for ALL women of ALL sizes.
Unfortunately, we do not get enough plus-size or petite-size clothing donated during the year, and we end up spending about $20,000 annually to fill this gap.
Since 2018, we have covered this annual costs through the re-sale of high-end items. Additional funds raised support all our workforce development and career advancement work.
The donation of your designer purse, high-end dress, vintage jacket, or piece of fine jewelry can underwrite a full outfit or MORE - providing confidence and, hopefully, employment for a client.
Most Needed High-End Items:
party dresses
handbags
high-end plus size clothing (11 Honoree, GIA/irl, Mac Duggal, Universal Standard)
All items must be in new or like-new condition.
Most Desired Brands: Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Longchamp, Louis Vuitton, Max Mara & Tom Ford.
Donation Drives: If you are interested in donating your high-end items, we have upcoming drives on Friday, July 26, Saturday, July 27, Wednesday August 28, and Wednesday September 25. Sign Up here.
If you can’t make either of those drives, please email us to arrange an alternate donation option.
