A sarasota classic! The exchange is a wonderful place for either the consignor or the shopper. I am always able to find some thing I didn’t know I needed. The inventory is constantly changing and they only except the highest quality consignments available.

I like the Womens Exchange because there is always something new and beautiful... its like a mini museum. If you don't buy anything, at least you can look at things. They do mark downs every couple of weeks. Each item is priced individually. They have clothes, jewelry both fashion, fine jewelry and other jewelry, they have dishes, painting, knickknacks and furniture.

Very friendly employees at check out. Not many available on the floor for help though. Could have just been the time and/or day I was there, Tuesday May 17th 12:30. This is a typical consignment store and fun to dig around. They do a good job merchandising and everything is priced. They are cramped in the space. I found what I was looking for and left with a couple extras I wasn’t! I’ll definitely return.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Also, after you sign up for a consignor number, the furniture area requires photos and description of items with measurements, if applicable. They are wonderful to work with and will be as helpful as possible.

Is there a way to check on line which items have sold?

Beverly Wright | Aug 31, 2019
Thomas Skodzinsky | Aug 31, 2019

You can do so if you're the consignor of the items you're selling at their website. However, to browse and shop and to find out if it's sold, you'd have to be at the Exchange. Calling them could be an option. When any of my items gets sold, I get an email notification plus an envelope in the mail with a check and very detailed information about which items got sold and when etc.

How can I get the Drop and Go form?

Melanie Winchester | Aug 31, 2019
Thomas Skodzinsky | Aug 31, 2019

Okay. It doesn't work that way. Pay a visit during opening hours and let the folks there know you're wanting to sell an item. Sometimes they'll say come back tomorrow or sometimes if you get there early as they open, they'll have time to talk to you and have forms for you to fill out and to assign you a number that you'll use to label your things written on white masking tape. After this gets set up and all the paperwork is done, you email them a picture or pictures of a single item to sell with a description with weight and dimensions information. You wait for them to email you back if they'll take the item or not. This may take a day or two weeks. It depends how busy they are and how filled up they are. Be nice and courteous to them. They won't just take anything because space is now a premium there.

How many items can I bring at one time?

BJ Haven | Aug 31, 2019
The Exchange Inc. | Aug 31, 2019

Please go to the business office to complete the paperwork to become a consignor. They will explain how it works at that time.
