What to Know Before You Submit
(submission form below)
We accept a small number of pre-loved items at a time — and only those not currently available in our inventory.Think rare leathers, past designs, or pieces with beautiful patina and character. In fact, we love to see signs of a well-lived story.
Our studio reviews each submission carefully. The more unique or sought-after your item, the more generous your store credit offer may be. That said, we may decline your item if it doesn't meet program guidelines or resale feasibility.
This is a trade-in program, not a resale platform. We do not pay cash. Instead, accepted items are exchanged for Chic Sparrow store credit — so you can find your next companion while helping another journaler find theirs.
