Where to sell clothes and textiles in Montréal

4 businesses in and around Montréal that buy used clothes from the public — what each takes, and whether you are offered a purchase, a consignment or a loan.

Verified 2026-09-24 from each organization's own website. We are not affiliated with anyone listed here, nobody pays to be included, and we receive nothing if you sell to them.

How to tell what you have got

Before you call anyone, two minutes with the object settles most of it. None of this needs an expert — it needs a flashlight and a look at the back.

  • Teen and young-adult mall brands from the last 12 to 18 monthsIt buys all seasons year-round, takes walk-ins with no appointment, and requires items freshly laundered and free of odours. Sizes are adult only and the ranges are set per store: the London page gives girls 0 to 30 and up to 6X and guys XS to 4X and 28 to 44 inch waist, while the chain's national sell-to-us page gives girls 0 to 6X and guys 28 to 3X. Check your own store's page rather than assuming. No kids or youth sizes anywhere.
  • Premium outerwear and technical kit in near-new conditionBring it in June, not in October. VSP publishes its calendar: "Spring-Summer intake begins in December and Fall-Winter intake begins in June." By the time the weather turns, a shop is already full of parkas and will decline yours whatever the label.
  • Unworn items with the original tags still onKeep them separate and still tagged. Do not launder them or remove the tags to make them look tidy.

Rarely worth anything

Not a rule, and not a reason to bin something without asking. These are the things people most often expect to be worth money and find are not.

  • Mid-market and fast-fashion labels, at a luxury consignor
  • Clothing with stains, balling, repairs or odours
  • Household linens in bulk: towels, sheets, duvet covers, curtains
  • Single socks, single shoes, rags and fabric scraps
  • Underwear and worn-out basics
  • The whole-house pile, taken as a pile
Second-hand textiles are exempt from federal fibre-content labelling if labelled as second-hand Federal (Textile Labelling and Advertising Regulations, C.R.C., c. 1551, s. 9, under the Textile Labelling Act)

Section 9: "A prescribed consumer textile article that is clearly identified by means of a label as a second-hand article is exempt from the application of section 3 of the Act." The regulations do not define "second-hand", and the exemption is conditional on the article carrying that label. Relevant if you are reselling a quantity of clothing as a business rather than giving it away.

4 places in Montréal that take clothes

J'Adore La Fripe

Consignment Bring it to them
BuysLuxury and designer clothing, Handbags, Footwear, Jewellery, Outerwear
Won't takeItems they judge unsellable, off-season or off-brand, Items not dry-cleaned or freshly laundered
The dealConsignment, not outright purchase: they sell the item on your behalf and you are paid a commission when and if it sells, so the money arrives later and only on a sale. Their page states commission is based on the value of the item, but the actual percentages are not published in readable form on the site, so no split is recorded here. Intake is by appointment. Clothing must be dry-cleaned or freshly laundered and in new condition. Designer handbags must come with the original receipt or a valid certificate of authenticity; failing that, they offer to authenticate the item for you.
Where2652 rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal, QC H3J 1N7
Their page states you will be asked for your contact information and a valid government-issued ID to consign. Because the commission tiers are not published, ask for the split for your specific items in writing before leaving them.

Buys outright May collect — ask
BuysAntique furniture, Paintings, sculpture and engravings, Watches, Jewellery, Designer handbags, Musical instruments, Furs, Silverware and glassware, Asian art, African art, Militaria, Coins and banknotes, Vintage objects

No storefront address, no published prices, and the site does not say whether the visit costs anything or how you are paid — establish all three on the phone. Get an itemised offer, and do not let anything leave before a price is agreed for each piece.

Second'Or

Buys or lends Bring it to them
BuysGold and diamond jewellery, Valuable watches, Signed art, Collectibles, Silverware, Coins
The dealConfirmed on the shop's own pawn-shop page: it offers two different transactions. One is an outright sale — you hand over the item for cash and it is gone. The other is a prêt sur gage, a pawn loan, which is secured credit: the shop lends you money against the item, and you get the item back only if you repay. An unredeemed item is forfeited to the shop. The site publishes no loan term, fee or interest figure of any kind.
Where954 boulevard De Maisonneuve Est, Montréal, QC H2L 1Z1
The site states you must bring valid photo ID. Pawning and selling are two different contracts with different consequences — establish which one you are being offered before you hand the item over, and ask for the loan cost in writing if it is a pawn loan.
Visit their site →514-842-0569
We could not verify this city’s municipal rules for second-hand dealers and pawnbrokers from an official source, so we state none. Check with the City or the province before relying on anything you read about them elsewhere.
