The Real Real - The Approachable Lux
Fendi, Gucci, Louis V oh my…luxury refined.
What makes this amazing?
Gone are the days, of those items are only for the real fancy types. The Real Real is the ultimate shopping experience. Where you can not only buy, but sell items too. From high end couture to the more mainstream labels TRR has everything you are looking for. Bags, shoes, clothing and jewelry galore. Many at 70% off retail. The idea being an online high-end lux resale that took off into even brand-new items. Each item is gone over extensively to prove authenticity prior to it being sold, so you know you are getting the real goods. It really is the best place to buy anything in my opinion. Think about that expensive dress you wore ONCE and has been sitting in your closet… well now you can sell it and upgrade into a new dress!
It is hard to go into a store and pay full price since TRR came into my life.
Super easy return policy too if it doesn’t work, which is key and one thing I really love.
You can also send in your own items to consignment. They will send you a bag to ship and if accepted they will list, sell and send you a check. TRR has stores in most major cities so you can physically shop as well or bring into sell if you prefer an in-person moment.
This is a girls best kept secret.

Julie Wainright is what they call a UNICORN. Creating a company in 2011 that was designed to bring affordable lux fashion to the masses. Julie being no stranger to technology space as she was a player in the dot.com space since 1997. TRR was different, a online consignment store that fired on so many cylinders. Compensation to sellers, items people wanted and a totally different approach to what it meant to shop secondhand stores. Her company grew gangbusters in the pandemic because people simply couldn’t go anywhere. 2022 she stepped down from the role and now the company is run by Rati Sahi Levesque. A brilliant idea that was last reported to be worth over $468 million in rev.
