I bought an Evelyne III PM from TRR, and brought it into Hermes today to ask about getting it cleaned. Of course, I was extremely curious to see if they would question / call out the bag's authenticity. The SA inspected it carefully, and thought that overall the leather and hardware was in great shape... No callouts re authenticity, so I am very very relieved!!! On a side note, they don't clean the canvas strap on the Evelyne as part of the spa cleaning, so the SA actually advised me to try cleaning it gently with Woolite. The other option is to buy a new strap for $1275. :shocked:

1275 for a canvas strap? Isn't the whole bag only like $3k?

I’d recommend Luxury Garage Sale as opposed to TRR. They are a bit pickier but their prices are higher, no surprises and no returns.

My beef with LGS is that they don't cover shipping insurance on the stuff you send to them over $100. If you want to cover your goods over $100, YOU have to pay for it, despite the fact that they are taking a 40% cut on your consignment. I refuse to send stuff to them because of that.

Does anyone have any experience consigning furniture with TRR? I've been considering consigning some of my nicer clothes with them, and we have a few antique furniture pieces so it would be nice to take care of it all at once. I'd rather sell them myself if they're going to be severely undersold though.

I was going to sell 2 purses with them last year. I had a lovely assistant contact me right away. I didn't sell through them because I would get paid on a tiered system. I don't think they had buy-out? Someone here probably has an update with the details. I'm not sure how they pay out.

I'm curious and would like to know myself.

Got a really awesome deal because TheRealReal didn't know what they were doing, haha. I got a genuine Karung snakeskin Lanvin Happy bag for $380 from them (apparently snakeskin Lanvin Happy bags used to go for around $2200 new). TheRealReal had labeled it as embossed, and I believed it. When I saw it in person though, I was starting to think it might be a genuine! A very kind TPFer with their own Karung bag told me that they also think my bag is genuine Karung based on comparison, and then I started googling and found the original listing on NM and it definitely is real snakeskin!! I almost feel bad for getting away with suck a steal :eek: Anyway, I just wanted to share on this thread and encourage anyone to comb TRR for steals like this. I wrote about it a bit more and included a pic at this post but I don't want to be spamming a bunch of threads with the same pic and info! :) https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...-3-4-500-00-bags.975555/page-11#post-32466268

That's a great buy! I noticed that they don't sell Lanvin bags in general for a lot of money. They are so pricey new but you can get them for under $500 on TRR! Congrats on your find!! :)
