Inside Modo: The Brands Our Customers Love Most

One of the questions we hear all the time is:

“What brands do well at Modo?”

The answer changes a little with the season, but looking back at our recent sales, a few things are clear: Portland shoppers love great denim, easy layers, natural fabrics, comfortable shoes, interesting prints, and pieces that feel current without feeling too trendy.

Here are 50 brands that have sold well for us and that we’re always happy to see come through the door when they’re current, clean, and in great condition.

But the Brand Is Only Part of the Story

A label can help, but it isn’t everything.

A beautiful linen dress from a smaller designer may be a better fit for Modo than an outdated luxury piece. A great pair of jeans can sell faster than something more expensive that no longer feels current. A well-made jacket, interesting print, perfect boot, or beautiful bag can stand out even if the brand isn’t one everyone knows.

What matters most is the whole piece: condition, fabric, fit, season, style, and whether someone would be excited to find it on the rack today.

Thinking About Consigning?

If you have pieces from these brands — or similar labels — we’d love to take a look.

We’re especially interested in current, clean, in-season clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, and accessories that still feel fresh and wearable.

And if you’re not sure whether something is a fit, bring it in. Some of our favorite pieces are the ones that don’t fit neatly into a brand list at all.

That’s part of what makes consignment fun.

The best closets are collected over time, and the best pieces deserve another life.
