Most of the top sellers on Poshmark display their clothing a some type of mannequin form. It might be a full size mannequin, a ghost mannequin, a dress form or a torso. Regardless of the type, they all help enhance the presentation of clothing. The better something looks, the better it sells.
A mannequin is an investment for your business. BUT this investment does not have to be expensive. You can buy a second hand one that we sell at Mannequin Madness.
We get them from national retail chains when close or remodel stores and resell them at discount prices on our website and in our warehouse in Oakland, Ca. So if you are in the Bay Area you can pick it up there and save on shipping.
We’ve been in business for 20 years and have resold mannequins from almost every major retailer ranging from Nordstrom, Christian Dior, Ralph Lauren, Macy’s, Adidas, The Gap, Men’s Warehouse, Bloomingdale’s and more. Most of the mannequins we get are female forms in small sizes, but sometimes we get plus sizes and male and children’s forms.
All the photos in this blog are examples of from our used mannequin section. As you can see a secondhand does not mean they are distressed or damaged. In fact sometimes the mannequins we get are still brand new still in the box like the ones we got several years ago from American Apparel when they went bankrupt.
The quality of the second hand mannequins from retail stores is so much better than the new ones you can find at sites like Amazon or Roxy Display. We know because we sell those same new ones too which are imported from China.
Mannequins from a retail store are often custom made and have to be strong enough to withstand being in a busy retail environment with lots of different people handling the mannequin.
We prefer to sell used mannequins because by doing so we are diverting mannequins from ending up in landfills. And it promotes the circular economy, which helps to reduce climate change.
So since Poshmark sellers are also promoting the circular economy, we want to support them by offering a 15% discount on all our second hand mannequins.
To get the discount, you must like us on Instagram or Facebook and then send us a DM with your Poshmark ID. We will then send you a personalized discount code to get 15% off. The code will be valid for 3 months in case you want to buy something else when we get different inventory in stock.
