What’s the best way to resell your clothing item?

There’s a number of ways to resell an item you’re ready to let go of, from physically visiting your local consignment shop to creating a listing on a resale platform like Facebook Marketplace.

These are the options available today, but it’s also a pretty big hassle. Not only do you need to individually research each item and find similar items to figure out the right price to list it at, if you bought it a while ago, this information might not even be readily available anymore!

With a digital archive tool like Carouge, you have all your fashion data stored at your fingertips to instantly generate a pixel-perfect listing when you’re ready to give your clothing item a second life.

Here’s how it works:

• Unlimited digital archiving: Connect your the Gmail you use for shopping to import all your past online clothing purchases or paste a specific product URL to load in all the details—from retailer, purchase price, brand, and even an item description! Tag your item(s) and organize however you want—by color, by season, by cost—whatever makes the most sense to you. Store your receipts so you can easily prove to shoppers someday your items’ authenticity.

• AI-powered listing descriptions: When you’re ready to give your clothing item a second life, generate an eloquent listing description with all the important details via AI in one click. You can even retry the AI description generator for more writing iterations.

• Accurate pricing suggestions: Our proprietary clothing resale commission calculator uses market analysis across millions of past listings to determine a suggested listing price. Forget looking up the retained earnings at each platform—Carouge allows you to instantly cross compare your potential retained earnings between resale platforms like Poshmark, Thredup, TheRealReal, Fashionphile, Grailed, eBay, Vestiaire Collective, and Depop

• Resale estimator while shopping: Download the Carouge Chrome extension and use it as your handy shopping assistant. Check real-time resale estimates while you browse online and add any item to your collection directly from the extension in one click. Garner peace of mind knowing the price you can eventually resell your item at—who knows, it might even sell for more than the retail price if you’re a savvy shopper.
