Meet the Owners

We thought it would be nice if you got to know our family a bit more before the fall sales. Many of you know me. I’ve been an owner of Divine Consign since we began in 2001. I can’t believe it’s been 16 years! I had no idea what I was getting into but I’m…

Selling a car seat

Car seats have always been a sought after commodity at Divine Consign. Everyone needs one. You aren’t going to get your baby home from the hospital without it.

Q&A: Who are those awesome people in pink?

If you’ve attended a Divine Consign Presale, then you’ve come face to face with a Pink Lady. We couldn’t run a Presale without these girls (and guys) and we wouldn’t want to. We call them our STAFF. They are some of the sweetest and hardest working women and men we know. Here’s what being on…

Presentation, Presentation, Presentation

When you’re prepping your items for the sale, you have to keep in mind that they will be compared to all of the others as shoppers decide what to purchase. You can go a long way in helping YOUR items stand out by taking the time to make them look nice. Take time to pin…
