Thirty years of well-loved things.
In the spring of 1994, two couples — Christine and Johnny Crowell, Jamece and John Fondnazio — opened the first Home Consignment Center on a quiet block in Danville, California.
The idea was simple: most consignment stores at the time marked everything up at the start and discounted it down. We thought it made more sense to price things fairly from day one, the way a good shop ought to.
Thirty years later we operate thirteen showrooms across California and Texas, do over fifty million dollars in annual sales, and still treat every consignor — and every customer — like a neighbor. Our team is salaried with monthly profit-sharing, not commission. We host Bag Borrow or Steal as their exclusive brick-and-mortar try-on partner. And manufacturers now come to us with samples, overruns, and closeouts.
Well-made things should keep moving.
Fair pricing, from day one.
No inflated starts. No automatic markdowns. Just honest, comparable-sale pricing — for the consignor and the customer.
Floors that turn.
Three thousand new arrivals per store per month. What you see today may not be here tomorrow. That is the point.
People, not commission.
Our team is salaried with monthly profit-sharing. No one circling you on the floor. Help when you want it.
Quality, always.
We say no often so we can say yes meaningfully. If a piece does not meet our standard, we will tell you.
