FAQ

WHO IS AUGUST?
August Zerbo is my grandfather who emigrated from Italy to Detroit, Michigan in 1927. His love of music, art, food and a passion for family and togetherness has deeply influenced my affinity for collecting pieces that enhance our lives together at home. I also am honored to carry his name as my middle name, Jenna August Zerbo.


DO YOU SELL ONLINE?
We are working on building our online experience and are aiming to be up and running by Summer ‘23. Until then, please follow our Instagram and send a direct message if you see something you like. We check our mailbox often and will reply to all inquiries in a timely manner.


WHERE DO YOU FIND YOUR ANTIQUES?
All around the world! We travel all over to flea markets, estate sales, garage sales, sides of the road, auctions, and probably your great-aunt Pearl’s attic. If you’d like us to keep an eye out for something special for you, just send us a note at jenna@augustshop.us with the particulars and we’d be happy to start digging.


DO YOU ACCEPT PRODUCT ON CONSIGNMENT?
If we love it, we want to buy it outright. We do not accept items on consignment, but if you are interested in selling an item, please drop me a line at jenna@augustshop.us and we’ll discuss next steps.


DO YOU SHIP?
We do! Shipping rates vary for the size and nature of the piece. Often we will tack on $10-20 to the cover the shipping and packing for an average sized piece, but for paintings, furniture, etc. the rates vary significantly and we will contact you to discuss the cost.


I HAVE SOMETHING I'D LIKE APPRAISED. CAN I BRING IT IN?
While I’d love to see your treasures and imagine their value, I am not an accredited appraiser and do not accept formal appraisals on any basis.


I MAKE MY OWN PRODUCT AND WOULD LOVE TO SELL THEM IN YOUR STORE. HOW DO I DO THAT?
Let’s talk! We love meeting new brands and would be delighted to see what you have available. We are interested in collaborations, exclusives, and products that are not mass-produced in any way. Please send linesheets, pricing, minimums, etc. to jenna@augustshop.us


I'D LIKE TO WORK AT AUGUST. ARE YOU HIRING?
We are currently looking to fill retail positions for Summer ‘23. If you are a talented, curious and enthusiastic individual with a love of connecting with people and an eye for merchandising, please send me an email at jenna@augustshop.us to see how you might be a fit!
