Why Dior belongs in a rental closet
Dior's best-known pieces are easy to spot: the quilted Lady Dior, the curved Saddle bag, the Book Tote, J'Adior slingbacks and Tribales earrings. The Bar jacket, first shown in 1947, still shapes the house's tailoring.
Vintage Dior is welcome, including older Saddle bags, costume jewelry and silk scarves.
Dior bags and earrings go out for galas and weddings, and slingbacks for daytime events and showers.

Donate or consign?
If cash is the goal, a current Dior piece in excellent condition will sell on a consignment site once the commission comes out. Donating makes more sense when the piece is older, shows some wear, or you would rather see it worn again than sold once. You get an itemized receipt instead of a payout, and the piece keeps earning for charity.
How to send your Dior
- Request a free mailer and tell us what you are sending.
- We mail you a bag with a prepaid USPS label and a short instruction card. Nothing to print, nothing to pay.
- Pack it and drop it at any post office, or hand it to your carrier.
- We check and photograph every piece, and your itemized receipt follows in 5 to 7 business days.
Condition and packing: Normal wear is fine. Include dust bags, boxes or cards if you still have them, empty any pockets, and wrap each piece in a soft cloth before it goes in the mailer.
Where the money goes
Every piece is rented for two weeks at a time, then cleaned and sent out again. Net rental profits are split across the charities on our Honor Roll at year end, and every donor can nominate a charity to the list.
Questions about donating Dior
Do you take vintage Dior?
Yes. Older Saddle bags, costume jewelry and scarves are all welcome.
Do you take Dior costume jewelry?
Yes. Earrings and necklaces rent well because there is no sizing.
Is donating Dior tax-deductible?
Yes. FashionablyGood is run by OnlyFuego Corporation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. You receive an itemized receipt listing each piece within 5 to 7 business days of it arriving. The IRS asks donors to determine the value themselves, and a qualified appraisal is required if you claim more than $5,000 for one item or a group of similar items. We are not tax advisors, so check with yours.
How do I send my Dior?
Request a mailer. We send you a bag with a prepaid USPS label and a short instruction card, so there is nothing to print and nothing to pay. Drop it at any post office or hand it to your carrier.
What happens after it arrives?
We check it, photograph it and list it for two-week rentals with free shipping both ways. Net rental profits are split across the charities on our Honor Roll at year end, and you can nominate a charity to the list.
