Labelling of hats:

  • All hats supplied to Como Centre Pop up Shop are to be labelled with milliners/makers label and ready for sale, i.e. Combs, elastics, headbands etc attached. Any hats presented without a comb, elastic or headband attached will not be presented for sale until made ready by the milliner who owns the hat.
  • The cost of any repairs or additives that need to be done on the spot to facilitate a sale, will be charged to the Milliner concerned, and deducted from the sale price. The cost of any repairs will be noted by attending staff and deducted from any final payment due, or an invoice will be issued.
  • All hats on consignment need to be one off designs or clearly specified as being part of a range of the same style.

We promote the uniqueness of our products and need to be confident we are correct in our assumptions.

 Inventory sheet:

  • A blank inventory sheet Inventory Sheet – MAA Pop Up Shop. Please fill out all relevant sections, name, contact details, banking details and a description of each piece (for identification purposes) and the amount you wish to sell the piece for. The completed inventory sheet will need to be included when hats are delivered to the Pop Up Shop.
  • If hats arrive without an inventory sheet, they will not be displayed for sale until the inventory is completed. The shop staff WILL NOT fill out the sheet for you. ONLY the sheet provided is to be used for your inventory. Should you wish to send photos of your hats, to help us identify them, please attach a separate sheet to the inventory sheet.
  • We recommend that you keep a copy of your inventory sheets for your own reference.
  • Up to 20 hats per milliner can be sent. We will request extra stock if required and items may be delivered or sent to replace items sold. Should you wish to send extra hats to us initially, (especially for the convenience of country and interstate milliners) then 20 will be displayed and extra hats will be used to replace sales made from your range. Only 20 of your designs will be displayed at one time but they will be rotated to give maximum exposure to our clients. This may alter if we run low on stock, in which case all hats sent will be displayed.
  • We recommend that extra business cards may be sent to the pop up shop to enable potential clients to contact you directly.

Identifying your hats:

Each hat must have attached to it two tags, a price tag and an identifying tag (two business cards attached to the hat will suffice).

  • The price and hat number/identifying description etc. must be on the reverse of both The number allocated to each hat from your inventory sheet is the number to use on the corresponding price tag/card. One tag will stay attached to the hat at the time of sale for the purchasers information. The second tag is retained by the shop manager with the payment receipt attached in order to facilitate milliners’ payments.
  • Unsold pieces can be collected on last day of trading or, by prior arrangement, from the Pop up Shop.
  • Any uncollected pieces will be returned through Australia Post, C.O.D. ordinary mail, and a fee charged. Please notify us if any alternate arrangements need to be made for return of hats.

Payments for sales:

  • Payment for sold pieces, minus commissions and any relevant deductions, will be made weekly where possible, with the final payment being made after the POP UP SHOP has concluded. Payments will be made by EFT directly to a bank account (banking details to be supplied by each milliner on the inventory sheet). Please advise if EFT is not suitable.
  • Reasonable care will be made to ensure all pieces remain undamaged whilst in the care of the MAA Pop Up Shop. Should an item be damaged whilst in the care of Pop Up Shop, the MAA will, within reason, cover the cost of repair. Poor workmanship is not covered.

Advertising:

  • Images of hats may be used on social media for promotion of the Pop Up Shop, but will not have the milliner’s name attached.
