Coming back to Westport, Connecticut

Westport, Connecticut – nothing better then spending time in one of my favorite places on the east coast.  Leftover Luxuries is coming back to Westport for the month of June.  Sale dates are June 8th – June 24th.  Location: 877 Post Road East.

There is still time to Consign – please contact: wendi(at)leftoverluxuries(dot)com

Bridging the wide gap between auction houses and tag sales

Leftover Luxuries Sales Event is coming back to Westport. From June 8th through June 24th, the nations premiere high end, pop-up consignment shop will make its way back to Westport. For those looking to shed an expensive piece of furniture that no longer has a place or past-season designer clothing, handbags or shoes that are never or barely worn, there is now a custom made destination– but only for a limited time! Come experience the nation’s first and best high-end consignment sale event, specializing in home furniture & decorative accessories, with a secondary focus on Designer clothing, handbags and shoes.

All local residents, including merchants, artisans, antique dealers, and interior designers are invited to consign their items for the sale. Leftover Luxuries provides the rented venue space, advertising, staffing, merchandising, and all promotional material to help bring in potential buyers. One reason the event is so attractive is that consignees price their own items and walk away with 60 percent of the sale price. By requiring that ALL consigned items are pre-approved by a Leftover Luxuries agent, the level of quality is kept very high, and consignors can feel confident that their items are seen in an upscale atmosphere. The fast pace of the event (here and gone in 17 days!) helps generate real retail momentum and means that goods don’t linger in the marketplace.

Started in 2009 and based in Charlottesville, VA, Leftover Luxuries LLC is the inspiration of talented interior designer, Wendi Smith. Wendi is thrilled to be bringing this back to Westport.  The first sale in Westport was in May, 2010.  Wendi launched her company to provide a vehicle for clients to move some of the items they no longer wanted and to make room for purchasing new items at affordable prices. Wendi spawned the concept of merging a high-end sale amongst fashionable locals with a first class event. The nationwide success of Leftover Luxuries is testament to the staying power and universal appeal of her brilliant concept.  As seen in the New York Times, Wendi just recently finished an event on the Lower East Side and is making her way to Westport again.

Consignors get a “sneak peak” and “first dibs” at the Thursday night reception before the sale goes public. It is an experience that combines a high-end boutique, with the hard to come by rare Paris flea market finds!

This formula has been irresistible in high-end communities across the country. From Atlanta to Southern California, Westport CT to Richmond VA, Leftover Luxuries has generated thousands of satisfied consignors and purchasers– it’s the ultimate win/win situation! Westport has proven to be the perfect market for this proven formula of quick sales, carefully curated goods, high energy and enthusiasm. Changing the way we buy, sell and get the things we really want; we prove that someone’s leftovers are another person’s luxuries!  www.leftoverluxuries.com

Final Weekend in New York City

New York City…….can’t wait to come back.

This event has been a fabulous ride.  There is no place like New York City.  The lower east  side welcomed us with open arms.  If you have never been here, all the people that have touched us are kinda of like a box of chocolates.  You don’t know exactly what your getting until you take a bite and every single time you are pleasantly surprised.  Everyone from the guys working on the street to the plumbers that have had to come in here three separate times because of our ceiling was pouring like rain.

This weekend is our final weekend – everything gets reduced up to an additional 30% off.

The support from the papers to the bloggers has been unbelievable – we can’t thank them enough!  Written up yesterday by Racked, Shopping and Style Intelligence and by

Vintage Chanelblazers, Prada shoes, Marc Jacobs clothes, and more are already marked down up to 60% off, and on Friday, they’re taking off an extra 10%. Before they say goodbye on Sunday, the additional discount will hit 30% off. [RackedWire]

New York City

Loving the city.....so happy to be here

It doesn’t take long to fall right back into the pace of New York City.  I haven’t lived here for over 10 years and yet, every time I’m here it feels like I have never left.  Once you love this place, I honestly think it is a lifetime affair!

So excited about this trip being ALL about Leftover Luxuries.  The Lower East Side is really hopping….great neighbors and the people on the street can’t wait for us to open.  Drop off has started.  We are receiving everything from Lucite to Vintage Chanel.  Wedding dresses to furs.  AND, amazing, amazing furniture.

I was recently asked what my favorite part of Leftover Luxuries was – there are so many things.  I can’t believe how excited I get at every single sale.  I truly love what I do.

I think my favorite part is right after drop off ends.  After ALL the items have arrived and there is nothing but a sea of “things”.  All of those things coming from so many different people…..and then I get to work my magic.  I absolutely love setting up the space.  I love when the consignors come in and see their items in a totally different light.  I enjoy being an interior designer – but,  setting up all of the vignettes and merchandising Leftover Luxuries is truly exciting.  I get to truly use my talents and do it my way.  The objective is to mix all the consignors items in a way that displays them the best.  And, like my own home…….this space never stays the same.  Once items start selling, I love the remix of items throughout the sale too!!

I love the story of where these items come from and where they end up at.  I am actually going to start showing “before and after” pictures of items

I love all the new people I get to meet – from the consignors to the shoppers.  Here in New York,  everyone working on Orchard street have been extremely welcoming!

I enjoy it all….but, there is only one thing that I wish I can change……..all the time away from the people I love – I could not do this without their support.   Specifically my boys.  In February, Atlanta took me away for three weeks and now New York……Xander, my eight year old, said, “mom, I’m really going to miss you”.  Jarrett, who is twelve and was born in NYC said, “I’m going  to miss you too, but you gotta do this mom – seriously,  it’s New York”.

Pictures of all the items for the New York City Sale coming soon!

Consignment Shopping: Spotting the Good Deals…….by M. Grace Maselli

This article was recently written in the Homestyle Magazine…..design for your home and garden.

I can’t thank the local communities, consignors and shoppers, enough for all of the support that has been thrown Leftover Luxuries way. I am truly grateful and blessed that I  love what I do!

 

“If someone sends me a Lucite table, ” says Wendi Smith, interior designer and owner of Leftover Luxuires LLC based in Charlottesville, “I’m already creating ‘vignettes’ in my imagination – pairing the Lucite table with a green mohair covered French settee, a chandelier, and maybe a leopard rug.”

Smith is referring the way she artfully arranges and displays high-end consigned items to entice buyers to purchase a wide range of luxury goods. She sells these objects on behalf of her business and consignees-her clients- who receive 60 percent of the asking price. And much like her vignettes, Leftover Luxuries is a business Smith envisioned and founded in 2009 when the recession hit with force.

“I knew the timing was right. And as an interior designer I continuously have leftovers from my work with design clients that are also consigned.” Smith explains, “and I didn’t like the craigslist or eBay selling experience when I tried to sell items this way.”

So, in a complete departure from either of these ubiquitous sales channels, Leftover Luxuries operates in Charlottesville and key cities around the United States several times a year in temporary, rotating physical spaces that Smith rents for a limited period of time.

“I didn’t want to be tied to a storefront 365 days a year, “says the energetic entrepreneur.

Smith pre-approves all hopeful consignor submissions by way of pictures sent to her website (www.leftoverluxuries.com)

“I don’t approve on style, but on the shape a given item is in”, says Smith.

Once she gives a consignor the green light to consign wares, that person has three days to drop off the merchandise.

Smith’s first sale in 2009 happened in 800 square feet of retail space with the sale lasting just a day and a half.  Using social media sites like Facebook and personal invitations, Smith has expanded her sphere of influence such that subsequent Leftover Luxuries sales events have occurred in 6,800-square-foot spaces with “events” in Charlottesville and two events a year, spring and fall, in Richmond, Atlanta and Westport, Conn., for example, with the “best of the best merchandise displayed,” Smith says.

By far the most arduous task and an expensive component of the overhead in a Leftover Luxuries sale is locating and renting an available venue. After items are dropped off, Smith allots two days for set up, and one night for consignors’ private party where sellers get first dibs on goods, all of which is followed by 10 to 12 days when the public gets to shop. Consignors can also include commercial and local retailers with leftover inventories. Anything not sold or picked up at the end of a sales event is donated to local charities. “Habitat for Humanity, the SPCA and many more,” she says, also citing the green benefit implicit in recycling used, albeit well-cared-for goods.

And though the name Leftover Luxuries implies expensive, don’t let the appellation fool you. “If four women walk into the sale space – there will be one that can only spend $5, one that can spend $50, another $500, and another one $5,000. My job is to merchandise to all those price points,” Smith says.

Furniture, Clothing and more at Leftover Luxuries

What makes Leftover Luxuries different from other consignment stores?
The first thing that comes to mind is that it combines so many different items together. It isn’t just furniture or clothing. Leftover Luxuries combines it all together.  Consignors  range from local residents and business owners. We have NEW and Slightly used items.  For our Charlottesville sale we have items from Kenny Ball Antiques, Vintage Vixen, Lynn Goldman Studio, REDD, The Artful Lodger, Moattar Rugs, Avindy Jewelry and Noa Lily. 

I also think it’s the type of items we get and how we mix it all together. Where else can you walk into a store and sit in a brand new Baker chair that retails for $3,000.00 and also find Limoges dish ware? The Baker chairs are priced at $800 and the Limoges dish ware sold for $550.00!  Or how about a gorgeous roll-top desk that originated in London and a pair of gorgeous French chairs, circa 1770?

From Chanel belts, shoes and handbags to religious icons – Religious icons are sacred images, most commonly associated with Eastern Orthodoxy, and are considered to be “prayer made visible.” Icons are important, not only as examples of early Orthodox Christian art but especially as devotional tools for prayer – and who has not heard of Chanel?  Leftover Luxuries has it.

Beds, dining tables, Sofas, rugs and lighting – we have it.
Dishware, hats, antique fans, artwork and mirrors – we have it.
Outdoor furniture, vintage clothing and designer handbags – we have it.
Linens, jewelry, sconces and shoes – we have it.
