National Consignment Day

Ever since I was a child, I remember shopping second hand with my grandmother. It was a pastime that I always loved and it was also a way to get access to pieces I couldn’t really afford at full value. I continued shopping at thrift stores, consignment shops, and resale shops from college through my first career. Scoring some of my favorite pieces that I have in my closet to this day. 

When  The RealReal opened its soho store in 2017 I immediately started shopping there! The RealReal is the world’s largest and most trusted resource for authenticated luxury resale. It became a part of my New York City staple shopping locations and quickly rose to a MUST for me. I’ve found some of my favorite vacation pieces, critical work staples, and some of the best coats of my life there. I’ve been a huge fan. 

So when I found out that October 2 was National Consignment Day, I couldn’t help but spread the word. The RealReal founded the holiday of National Consign Day in 2017 to raise awareness of resale and help create a more sustainable future for fashion. National Consignment Day is designed to promote consignment in the apparel industry as a way to reduce waste. More than 80 billion pieces of apparel are manufactured each year and 75 percent of those wind up in landfills. National Consignment Day takes place annually on the first Monday of October and TheRealReal celebrates for the full month of October!

I’ve personally consigned so many pieces on TheRealReal.  The 3 main reasons to sell with The RealReal because their mix of luxury-obsessed experts and tech experts that can get you the best price every time.Their service is very tailored to you and they get things up on their site quick. Plus they handle every detail. Also you get access to the largest luxury community with over 33 million shoppers that will be looking to buy your items. Plus if you live in places like New York City, they can schedule a free pick-up with a RealReal concierge or you can drop it off at one of their store locations.
