Where in NYC?

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.

I've bought and sold on the Real Real and it has worked well.

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.

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.

Julia Rose Boston. Have bought and sold from them. She has a great instagram profile and website.

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.

Fashionphile, as others have mentioned. I have a gorgeous Gucci bag from there in pristine condition.

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?
