consigners
They entrust merchandise
Consigners are people or businesses that hand over goods to another party for sale or delivery.
In retail contexts, a consigner sends merchandise to a shop that will sell it on their behalf, with the consigner retaining ownership until the sale occurs.
The consigners dropped off vintage clothing at the boutique each week.
The spelling consignors is equally common, particularly in legal and commercial documents.
