I ordered 2 pair of shoes, same size different designers. One fit the other did not. The return was straightforward, but the restocking fee is a bit steep and the process took way too long. Two weeks... See more

Fair pricing, fast shipping, beautiful item. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the interior of the item has a funny smell that was not disclosed in the listing.

Bag is in terrific condition however, it does have a very strong perfume-y/musty/cigarette scent that I wish was stated prior to purchasing. Otherwise the bag is physically in the best condition I’ve... See more

I appreciate the platform but there is no recourse for fakes. Not everything is authenticated as we are made to believe and things that are returned or reported as fakes are still sold. Bags are never... See more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE - BUYER BEWARE

I purchased a Chanel brown lambskin bag, CHA1452685 and listing said it was brown and showed it as brown. When I received the bag it was BEIGE and it was poorly dyed brown. The realreal responded saying I can not return it even though they did not mention it was dyed a DIFFERENT COLOR. The photos showed the bag was in perfect condition but when the bag arrived the poor dye job was cracking and pealing off the beige bag!

Great items not so great shipping costs

The amount of items available is amazing. I love the process and I trust the items are authentic and in the shape as described. I didn’t give 5 stars because the jacket I ordered was more of an XXS, not a small. And the return shipping is terribly expensive for the amount of items I ordered. Then when I had to return the item I had to pay more in shipping.

Excellent experience

I like that the pictures and descriptions make it easy to shop online. All flaws of any are listed, and you get tracking updates on your order. I will be back for more items!

Quality items

Just like most, if not all, pre-owned luxury websites you have to filter your choices to what your tolerance is in buying & receiving pre-loved merchandise. When I buy pre-loved designer items they have to appear to be nearly new at minimum or I won't buy the item. The Real Real has a lot of quality, extra nice items to choose from.
