THE CONSIDERED HANDOVER

Share a piece with a clearer handover.

A practical checklist for discussing fit, condition, care and return expectations before clothing changes hands.

Make the description useful

Start with what the next person needs to know: the garment type, labelled size, relevant measurements, fabric and care label. Describe visible wear honestly. Clear photos in natural light can show shape, colour and condition without disguising marks.

  • Measure the garment consistently and explain how you measured.
  • Photograph the front, back, label and any wear.
  • Say what is included, such as a belt, lining or spare buttons.

Agree the details before sharing

Discuss the intended occasion, fit questions, handover timing and whether the piece is being borrowed, sold or simply considered. If borrowing is involved, agree a return date, care expectations and how to handle a problem before anyone commits.

  • Confirm collection or delivery arrangements directly.
  • Agree who arranges cleaning and follow the care label.
  • Keep a written record of the condition and agreed terms.

Leave room for a thoughtful return

Check the item together where practical and record any change in condition. Raise a concern promptly and describe it clearly rather than making assumptions. Give the garment time to be cared for and stored before its next outing.

Keep personal contact details private and use a trusted channel for any transaction. This website offers wardrobe inspiration and planning guides; it does not provide live stock, checkout, payment handling or a rental guarantee.

Prepare one piece at a time

Choose something you know well and make a small information sheet: measurements, condition, care, timing and questions to resolve. The aim is a clearer conversation, not a perfect-looking listing.
