Elegant Elephant Boutique

We all want what's best for our children. We go to extremes to buy clothes for our cute little ones. Sometimes big name clothes, such as Burberry, Dior and Armani, is just a dream (ok for most of us who don't have millionaire status or a membership to the actors guild) but one mommy of 2, soon to be 3, decided she wasn't going to let that stop her.

Angela, owner and creator of the Elegant Elephant Boutique, is a wife and mother of 2 girls, ages 5 and 17 months, with one more on the way. Suffice to say this momma has her hands full! When her first daughter came along she realized her obsession with couture clothing, such as Deux par Deux, was draining her account so she started searching consignment shops. Angela found this mentally, and physically, draining since for every 3 stores she'd go to she'd be lucky to find one designer name outfit. That's when the lightbulb went on! Literally, her husband turned on the lights :)) Just kidding. An idea of great proportions was created.

Elegant Elephant not only carries plenty of designer names, or only couture names I should say, but also does consignment. So you could purchase a clothing item with a name like Catimini for your child, or consign your childs Eliane et Lena outfit. Here's how the consignment works:

• Clothing must be in excellent condition with little signs of wear and from a smoke free home. We only consign high end brands (no gap, gymboree etc)
• We offer two options for consignment: 

1. You determine selling price, you get 45% of the final selling price. This option normally works well with lower 
2. You determine selling price, we charge a flat fee for each item. If the item does not sell, we do not take a commission

      

Here are the fee's:
Top $5
Dress $8
Coat $16
Hat $3
Pants $6
Shoes $10
Other: to be negotiated
**So for example, if you wanted to sell a coat for $100, and it sold, you would get $84 and we would get $16

• Once you have determined which option best suits you, contact us through email, to set up an appointment. We meet clients in the GTA all through London.

          ***If you are outside these areas, you can ship your items to us. Please send pictures prior to shipping as we need to approve what we sell.          We are now offering a discount on fee's when you ship your clothing to us for consignment ($1 off commission per item!!!)
