TheRealReal is the Real Deal
We’ve all dreamt of clutching onto a Dior Saddle Bag, a Chanel quilted crossbody, or maybe even stepping into a pair of Louboutin classic, red-bottomed heels. Yet unfortunately, not many of us are so financially affluent and fortunate to purchase these investment pieces on a college budget. Although we want to browse the stunning selections ourselves while walking the streets of 5th Avenue and the Miami Design District, that is not super realistic (*cries*). That where TheRealReal comes in.
TheRealReal’s online luxury consignment shop is the perfect site to search for vintage and resale luxury items. In the past, one might have considered consignment as a hit or miss affair, due to the reliance on location and surplus of fashionable finds in your area. However, the virtual element of TheRealReal makes consignment shopping from all over the globe doable and easier than ever before! When a Manhattan elite is selling her vintage Prada sunglasses for $100, or a Hampton’s socialite happens to post her LoveShackFancy sundress for just $125, we’re sold.
An exciting advantage to the website is you can just as easily be a seller yourself. If you are lucky enough to have vintage designer pieces you wish to exchange and revamp your closet, you can put your item up for sale on the site. Once sent in, your item will go through the consignment process at the San Francisco main warehouse to be evaluated, priced, photographed, and posted. Then when the piece is sold, sellers receive a check for 55% of the price, depending on the item this sometimes ranges between 40 - 85%.
Each designer piece has an authentication examination guarantee, making the browsing, purchasing and selling experience that much more reliable! You will be able to see the rating of their condition and properly evaluate the design due to the professional in-house photography of each item. Giving the site a clean, sleek design as opposed to the DIY photos taken on other second-hand sites.
Here are some of our favorite designer vintage finds that make our hearts…and bank accounts very happy.
These items are one of a kind and posted for a limited time only! First time shoppers receive a $25 reward and 20% with code REAL. So now that you’ve seen these gorgeous designs and the amazing deals, they have to offer… go shop, post your finds and tag us @theedgemag!
