The RealReal

Luxury comes at a price that can be prohibitive. If your pockets are not as deep as your high-end tastes, you may be The RealReal’s target customer. This Soho shop is the brick-and-mortar manifestation of this e-retailer’s highly successful online site which sells second-hand luxury items including jewelry, clothes, handbags, accessories, furniture and art. You can find premium brands from A.P.C. to Zac Posen, and on-staff authenticators ensure that what you see is what you get. While listings are more affordable than the original price, this still doesn’t qualify as bargain shopping.
