| There are few high end purses (LV, Gucci) I am interested in, and I really like the idea of buying one second hand/vintage, not only for cost reasons but a little wear can look nice and also just from an environmental perspective. I see ebay has a "verified" option, and there are some other sites. I've tried a few local stores but it's so hit or miss what they have and I haven't found what I'd really like. Does anyone have any experience with sites that they feel are reputable? |

| Fashionphile, as others have mentioned. I have a gorgeous Gucci bag from there in pristine condition. |
| Ann’s Fabulous Finds—I have bought and sold designer goods with them, very nice to deal with. Yoogi’s and Fashionphile are also reputable. No experience with RealReal. |
| Julia Rose Boston. Have bought and sold from them. She has a great instagram profile and website. |
| As others have mentioned, the ones in NYC are really the best. I know it's probably not something you'd want to do, but if you ever get a chance to come to NYC, you should go in person to see everything. There are several high end consignment shops with so many options. |
| Highly recommend Her Authentic. Her inventory is always changing & the buying process was so smooth. I’d rather buy from a person in this situation than a website with thousands of options. |

I just purchased an LV purse from TRR last week, and I am very pleased. The purse is in top-notch condition but was listed as "very good." I don't see any flaws with it and it looks practically brand new IMO.
I also purchased a Tiffany bracelet and earrings listed as "very good," and they arrived in excellent condition. With that, don't think going with excellent/pristine are your only options, because "very good" is generally "great" or darn near, IMO. |
| I've bought and sold on the Real Real and it has worked well. |

If you are local to the DMV, though, try Wardrobe Rescue in Vienna. If they don't have it, you can tell them you are looking for it. |

I like Wardrobe Rescue but in general prices are quite high for designer bags unless she’s having a good sale. Do your research vs online. It’s nice to buy something you can try on first though and quality is good. |
