So what is a

Dress Agency?

A dress agency is a type of boutique that sells pre-owned clothing and accessories on behalf of individuals. It acts as a middle ground between the seller and the buyer—offering a curated selection of good-quality second-hand fashion at a fraction of the original price. Sellers bring in clean, wearable clothes, shoes, handbags, and other accessories, which the shop displays and sells. Once an item is sold, the proceeds are typically split between the shop and the original owner, with most dress agencies operating on a 50/50 or 60/40 commission basis.

Unlike charity shops, which rely on donations and are often less selective, dress agencies focus on style, condition, and quality. Items are hand-picked and presented in a boutique-style setting, creating a more personalised and enjoyable shopping experience.

The History of Dress Agencies

Dress agencies have been around in the UK for decades and were especially popular in the mid-20th century when fashion was less fast-moving and quality garments were made to last. They provided an elegant and discreet way for women to update their wardrobes, particularly in times when buying new clothes was considered a luxury. As fashion and sustainability trends evolved, dress agencies adapted—offering a stylish alternative to high street shopping and making it easier for women to sell their own clothes rather than throwing them away.
