T EI have a gal in the fashion industry who consigns with me. She is a writer, her stuff appears in Vogue. From time to time, she will give me a new couture item. How does she get them? They are give aways in celebrity goodie bags. $1,500 and up items are given away to get them into celebreties hands. Although my understanding is that the IRS is trying to crack down on this pactice. Also, top designors want their items seen in hi-profile situations (award ceremonie, etc) and will lend or even give their items to people in the industry who attend these events. But you can bet a lot of this swag ends up on ebay.
