Revival Fall Buying Tips from Shopowner Sheila!

Currently we are in our Summer buying freeze (thanks again for your patience!), but starting on July 26th we will be up and running again seeking transitional Fall items.



Check out our video where Shopowner Sheila, the captain of the Revival style ship, answers that age old question, "What exactly are you guys buying right now?"

Why, I Could NEVER Trade...My Three Strand Pearl Necklace & Vintage Chanel Pumps

New mom, vintage maven, and Austin-based Revival doll Maggie, queen of the Blue-Eyed Baking Studio blog, would NEVER trade her beloved 3 strand pearl necklace or vintage gold Chanel pumps (greatest find ever)

"I found the heels while shopping at a resale shop in Indianapolis with my mom. Lovely- a demure style paired with a flashy color. (My husband) Kevin found the pearls in North Carolina and gave them to me for Christmas. When I wear them I feel sophisticated and gorgeous and they remind me of my darling husband. I also look forward to seeing Vivienne, my daughter, wear them one day, only if she asks first of course..."

We would LOVE to see the special items you could never part with. Email us your NEVER trade-ables, and a few words on why you love them, at info@revivaliowacity.com and we will post them!

Why, I Could NEVER Trade...My Grandmother's Vintage Gold Cuff

Shopgirl Sam would NEVER trade her Grandmother's Vintage Gold Cuff

"So, the thing I would never trade is my gold cuff that I inherited from my Grandma. I think it's gorgeous, but I've only worn it a couple of times. I would not trade it for obvious sentimental reasons but also because it's so pretty and gold and shiny."

Not sure what we are talking about? Here is a little more info on Revival's trade system:

We Shopgirls are students, artists, moms, educators...you know...professions not usually associated with Scrooge McDuck size moneybags. How do we afford to feed our ever-changing fashion fix, you ask? Many of you Iowa City ladies know the answer.

Trade is the answer. We chase our silky, vintage, high-end shoe, must-have accessory dragons with trade.

Here at Revival, we do not just sell clothes. Almost every day we buy, buy, buy clothes to add to our eclectic inventory. In fact, a good portion of our day is taken up by 'doing sorts;' what we call reviewing the potential merchandise customers like you bring in to sell.

Click here for a full explanation of our policies. Please be kind to us guys, we try real hard not be those Rock'n'Rose types. Although we would like take all your clothes, but we often just can't. Our selections are based on condition, season, and, most importantly, current store inventory.

Unlike many other consignment stores, Revival offers three options of payment for selling clothes- one of these being 'trade,' or store credit at Revival. Tax free and usable for up to a year, trade is a key component in a resourceful, fashion lovers revolving wardrobe. Trade is financially nifty, green, and plain good sense!

But sometimes, no matter the new item siren call, there are just certain special items that cannever be traded...the beloved, the one-of-a-kind, sentimental, or simply the greatest find ever. Send us yours! We wanna know!

Why, I Could NEVER Trade My...Silver Calvin Klein Sky High Pumps

Why, Shopgirl Anna could never trade her silver Calvin Klein Pumps!

"I hustled these BOMB silver Calvin Klein pumps from my tres chic former roommate a couple of years ago as payment for selling some of her clothes on Ebay (sadly, there was no Revival in Brooklyn). They are an automatic good time, and I swear my legs grow two feet when I put them on. There is a beautiful scratch on the toe from dancing too well at my cousin's champagne fueled wedding."
