Welcome to Appel & Ei Leeuwarden

Secondhand and new clothing

At Appel & Ei Leeuwarden, you’ll find a wide range of beautiful, affordable second-hand clothing for both him and her. All our second-hand garments are carefully selected; they are clean, fresh, and hardly distinguishable from new items. The competitively priced items we offer are often leftover stock from stores and brands we collaborate with.

Do you feel like shopping or do you want to give your clothes a second life? If you want to know more about which seasons are relevant or how to select and offer clothing, check out our page about contributing. Shoes, bags and other fun accessories are also very welcome.

Consignment, what to consider?

Fresh & clean

Do you buy musty clothing? Neither do our customers. At Appel & Ei, we have high standards when it comes to the quality of the items we accept. Therefore, we can only accept clean, unstained, and wrinkle-free clothing items that are in perfectly maintained condition. Our mission is to offer a selection that is not only stylish but also meets our customers' expectations 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 Therefore, we invite you to bring in your former favorites, but we kindly ask you not to bring large loads of outdated clothing.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 renewal 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 doesn't work, we unfortunately cannot accept these items. It's really worth making sure your clothing and accessories are in excellent condition. Well-maintained items don't just radiate quality, they also increase the chances of a successful sale. Take the time to inspect your items carefully.

Where is the clothing donated to?

Local

Our stores not only support national charities, but are also committed to local initiatives that have a positive impact on their community. This means that your unsold contributions help to support both larger projects and small-scale local initiatives. For more detailed information about the specific goals and projects that we actively support, you are welcome to visit the relevant Appel & Ei store. Our team will be happy to tell you more about our involvement and the differences we make together.

Drop & Loop

Turn in your clothing, it deserves better through reuse or textile recycling. Appel & Ei contributes to sustainability by selling your unsold consignment and giving it a second life. In collaboration with Drop & Loop, we explore possibilities to also give non-sellable clothing a new life. This helps us comply with legislation and improve the Appel & Ei formula while supporting the environment. Never just throw away clothing; if it's suitable for sale, we're happy to sell it for you. Otherwise, you can give it to our staff for donation to Drop & Loop. Together, we make worn clothing circular.

Sheltersuit

Appel & Ei has teamed up with Sheltersuit to support a national charity. The proceeds from the yet-to-be-sold clothing are used to manufacture textiles for Sheltersuit, an innovative solution for the homeless and refugees. This wind- and waterproof coat can be transformed into a sleeping bag and features a spacious hood, an integrated scarf, and large pockets. The bottom can easily be opened, allowing the wearer to move freely.
