The High Price of Cotton

An interesting ARTICLE appeared in this month's MSN Money. Record increases in the cost of cotton have resulting in many retailers, such as Gap Inc and Levi Strauss & Co, having to raise prices in their stores by as much as 15%...and it's getting worse!

What does this mean for you? The benefit is two-fold...

First, avoid the price increases and save money by shopping resale and consignment. Because we aren't paying for the cotton-to-product manufacturing, Born Again Resale & Consignment's prices will remain stable.

Second, turn this to your advantage by selling your underloved clothing now. The price increases in retail stores on everything from sheets and towels to socks and jeans will result in consumers turning in droves to resale and consignment stores for textiles of all kinds. Those jeans you'll never wear again, that sweater that's not quite the right color, your baby's outgrown sleepers, outfits, buntings, dresses, jeans, jogging suits and anything else will turn into cash!

For more information about how to sell and consign at Born Again, check out our Consignment Page.
