Donate Designer Fashion and Make an Impact
When you're cleaning out your closet, you might consider consigning a few pieces at The RealReal or a local boutique. That’s a great way to recoup your investment. But what if your designer handbag or luxury dress could do even more?
By donating high-end items to Dress for Success San Francisco, you can directly impact a woman’s life. We accept these donations year-round and are currently sourcing standout pieces for our Holiday Soiree Pop-Up Shop on November 15, 2025.
Through our Career Wardrobe program, we strive to offer high-quality, professional clothing for ALL women, of ALL sizes. But every year, we face a shortage of plus-size and petite-size options—costing us roughly $20,000 annually to fill that gap.
Since 2018, we’ve covered this need through the resale of donated high-end items, with any additional funds going toward our workforce and career development programs.
Your donation of a designer purse, a vintage jacket, a luxury dress, or piece of fine jewelry can underwrite a full outfit or MORE. Your generosity can provide confidence, opportunity, and the first step toward meaningful employment for a woman in our community.
Most Needed High-End Items:
party dresses
handbags
high-end plus size clothing (11 Honoree, GIA/irl, Mac Duggal, Universal Standard)
All items must be in new or like-new condition.
Most Desired Brands: Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Longchamp, Louis Vuitton, Max Mara & Tom Ford.
Donation Drives: If you are interested in donating your high-end items, mark your calendars! We have upcoming drives on Wednesday, June 18, July 16, and October 15. Read more about our Donation Drives here.
If you can’t make any of those drives, please email us to arrange an alternate donation option.
