Plato’s Closet is holding its “Fill a Bag” clearance event on Saturday at 10 a.m., offering shoppers deals and savings on gently-used clothing and accessories.
During the “once-a-season” promotion, according to their website, customers are invited to bring any bag of their choice, fill it with clearance items and receive 90% off everything inside. The event is open to the public.
The store, located on Shaw and Fifth avenues, buys and sells reused clothing, shoes and accessories. Currently, Plato’s Closet is buying clothes from customers for all seasons. Items in demand include tanks, shorts, sandals, denim and dresses. All sizes are welcome, and no appointment is necessary to sell.
In addition to offering cash on the spot, sellers can choose to trade in their clothing for a 10% discount on their purchase.
Because shoppers can bring any bag with no size restrictions, many come prepared with tote bags, backpacks or even large shopping bags to maximize their savings.
Apart from the event, customers can earn cash for cleaning out their closets and bringing in seasonal items like jackets, sweaters and boots. The buying process is simple: bring in clean, trendy items, wait for them to be evaluated by staff and choose to either accept the cash offer or trade in for an in-store discount.
