Material Wrld and Intermix have partnered to establish a luxury resale service that will allow you to unload your designer duds. While there are a number of other resale websites, the new Material Wrld service makes the clothing exchange process infinitely simpler for the seller.
Through the luxury resale service, customers will be able to bring in their unwanted clothing and have it appraised by the educated Material Wrld staff. You can even save time in advance by consulting the company website to determine what brands they are accepting. Unlike online resale websites, the new Material Wrld service removes the hassle of haggling with buyers over a potential price and then waiting for the payment to go through.
The new trade-in service will operate as a series of monthly in-store events between June and December. The events will be held at select Intermix stores in New York City, Boston, Chicago, DC, Miami and Philadelphia.
