Designer accessories at a fraction of the price
Passion doesn't even come close to describing my love of fashion, especially high-end designer accessories. I grew up in the retail business. My family started Furchgott's of Florida generations ago which was the first high-end specialty department store of its kind in Florida. At the time, and even later, I didn't know I would also go into the business of fashion until I graduated college with a degree in Journalism. Although I tried it for a while, I found that newspaper reporting just wasn't for me. By this time, Furchgott's had sadly closed the last of its seven stores in Florida, as the off price stores began to flourish.
The idea of consignment was just coming around and there wasn't much when it came to high-end consignment. I was in my early twenties when I went to work for a good friend in her consignment boutique and fell in love with the business. A few years later, I opened Jill's Consignment in 1996 in Orlando, Florida.
And that's where it all began.
Three years after opening Jill's Consignment, I expanded the business by adding Jill's Consignment.com, our website, at the urging of another friend who was a fashionista, shopaholic and beginning web designer.
In 2002, after seeing the impact of the internet, we made Jill's Consignment.com its own separate entity, and moved our operations to Jacksonville, Florida (my home town). Since then, Jill's Consignment has flourished. Our consignors are the best in the world. They come from all over the world, but mostly the fashion capital of the United States, New York City, and the enclaves of Palm Beach, Florida.
Since first opening our store in 1996, we've built a solid and world-renowned reputation as the best in the business. We've done this by following a few simple rules, the most important of which... BE HONEST. We don't have contracts with our consignors. We go on the simple principle that if you do business the right way, you will continue to do business. We want our customers and our consignors to be so happy with us that they tell all their friends and that is how we've built Jill's Consignment from a little shop in Orlando to a world-wide internet sensation.
We have been recognized nationally and locally as one of the top designer consignment stores in the nation by Mademoiselle, The Orlando Sentinel, The Dallas Morning News, Redbook, Forbes.com and more!
