CONSIGNMENT SHOPPING! (Swipe for full video)
Shopping at consignment stores is a great way to save money if you care about owning your own clothing from high end designers but don’t have the budget to be buying new Louboutins every week. But you have to be smart about it if you want to avoid getting scammed.

SITES I TRUST
I only have two go-to consignment sites (that also have apps) that I completely trust— Vestaire Collective and The RealReal. Both of these companies require proof of authenticity from the seller, then have them authenticated by their employer experts, then they provide the buyer with the paperwork proving that it has been authenticated. No, their discounts generally aren’t anything spectacular, but it’s worth shopping on them because once in a while you will find some AMAZING deals on designer items that you know are REAL. But you have to check the sites often, because the really good deals usually sell out within a few days of being posted. However, they have been involved in a recent lawsuit being accused of selling fake goods, but nothing has been proven.
There are other websites I trust for the most part that I’ve only had positive experiences with like Grailed and Lyst— but I don’t know enough about their authentication process to vouch for them and say they’re 100% safe.

SITES *NOT *TO TRUST
The #1 most common website that I see people get ripped off by is POSHMARK! I’ve purchased three times from them on separate occasions and all three times I received were obviously fake. I gave them multiple chances in hopes these deals could be real. But now when I check the site on occasion, I can tell that about half of the products for sale are clearly counterfeited.
Mercari also sells a lot of fake designer products, but they make it more obvious than poshmark because they’ll claim to be selling a real Louis Vuitton bag for $20. At least most sellers on Poshmark are smart enough to charge a few hundred to make it look more realistic.
