About
OVERVIEW
The RealReal boutiques in Greenwich Village and Soho are luxury consignment stores that focus on authenticated designer clothing, handbags, shoes, jewelry, and watches. These locations offer a curated selection of high-end pieces, providing a more intimate and upscale shopping experience than traditional thrift stores.
ATMOSPHERE & EXPERIENCE
Both the Greenwich Village and Soho locations are designed to feel like modern, high-end boutiques. The ambiance is clean, well-organized, and aesthetically pleasing, making it a comfortable and inviting space to browse for luxury goods. Staff are generally knowledgeable about the designers and authentication process, providing a helpful, but not overly intrusive, shopping experience.
MERCHANDISE HIGHLIGHTS
The stores feature a vast array of designer items from brands like Chanel, Hermès, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Prada. Items range from clothing and accessories to fine jewelry and watches, with a focus on current trends and timeless classics. Prices vary depending on the brand, condition, and rarity of the item, but expect to pay a premium compared to regular thrift stores, reflecting the authenticated luxury status.
UNIQUE FEATURES
The RealReal's key differentiator is its rigorous authentication process, ensuring the legitimacy of all designer items. They also offer in-store consignment services, allowing customers to sell their own luxury goods. Visiting during the mid-week tends to be less crowded than weekends.
