All our second-hand clothing is selected with the utmost care, so you can count on items that are clean, fresh and indistinguishable from new clothing. The sharply priced new items we offer are often surplus from the stores and brands we partner with, allowing you to not only find unique pieces, but also score a good deal.

Contributing, what should you pay attention to?
Fresh & clean
Do you buy musty clothes? Neither do our customers. At Appel & Ei, we have a high standard when it comes to the quality of the items we accept. Therefore, we can only accept clean, spotless and (k) wrinkle-free garments that are in perfect condition. It is our mission to offer an assortment that is not only stylish, but also meets the expectations of our customers in terms of hygiene and quality.
Contemporary
Our customers are looking for trendy and contemporary items that have recently been in fashion, with a maximum of two seasons old. Therefore, we invite you to bring in your former favorites, but we kindly ask you not to bring large loads of outdated clothing. At Appel & Ei, we believe that style and innovation go hand in hand, and we want to keep our collection fresh and relevant for everyone who shops with us.
Condition
Detail is essential at Appel & Ei. If a button is missing, a seam is torn or a zipper does not function, we are unfortunately forced not to accept these items. So it is really worth making sure that your garments and accessories are in excellent condition. Well-maintained items not only radiate quality, but they also increase the chance of a successful sale. Take the time to carefully inspect your items.
Vacancies at Appel & Ei, will you come work with us?
We are constantly looking for sparkling, flexible and energetic go-getters who make it a sport to optimize clothing prices and feel at home in a team. Working with us offers a unique experience compared to a regular fashion store; your responsibility includes helping customers, explaining our concept, keeping the store tidy, and hanging up, taking out and sorting brought-in clothing, including pricing it.
A fun challenge!
