When I received it, the first thing I noticed was the feel and weight. It just felt off to me. And when I examined it next to my other two straps, I knew something was wrong with it.
I spoke to TRR and expressed my concerns. I offered to send photos. They weren’t interested. I am sending it back, but, buyer beware!
Lanvin bags hold terrible resale unfortunately. I know this as I have tried to sell a few and have literally gotten pennies for them.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!!
I have a love/hate relationship with TRR. I get very little money for items I send them, that cost me a fortune, but it is better than nothing. I have to constantly call CS as their listings are so inaccurate in terms of item size, description, etc. I have to be my own advocate when I sell. I listed a very expensive bag and their photographs were awful. The interior looked stained, which it was not, as there were shadows cast on the inside. I asked them to retake the photos, and it was basically hopeless. Luckily, it sold anyhow but I think it may have been showcased in the Soho store.
On the buyer end, I have done well, since I don't think they always know what they are listing. I scored a brand new Rag and Bone bag for 1/2 of retail (bag was brand new, current collection) with my coupons and their 20% off.

I've had that problem on various sites but it worked if I switched browsers.
That’s how I feel. Love, hate.
I like
that they come to my apartment to get my stuff.
that they are consistent about sending out consignment checks.
that I have gotten some bargains on there
And that stuff isn’t ending up in a landfill and that it is being used.
I dislike:
That they are so inconsistent about what designers they will take
Their ever-shifting policies on % commission.
That I referred someone and I have to fill out a W-2 to get my referral bonus.
That what they show in the listing isn’t always consistent with what the condition is.
And that fakes have started popping up. [emoji35]
I have only done home appointments. I did have this issue with Fashionphile and was told it was the browser I was using.
Thanks, I've tried a different browser and it didn't work. I can access TRR site without any problem using both browsers, but I can't download the shipping label.
Hi everyone!
I was wondering about your thoughts. There are so many jewelry pieces that have been catching my eye on TRR as of late. I know that there are some issues with authenticities on the site, and so it has been making me pause a bit. Some of the listings have a 14k or 18k stamp, which one could assume was real, but then some say that they have been tested for 14k or 18k purity. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? The pieces aren't super expensive, but I still don't want to be tricked. Anyone have any experience with how accurate the information is?
