Well priced and authentic clothes. I would say their sizing information has room for improvement. Often I get an item whose stated size is slightly different from what was advertised in the listing.

I didn't purchase these items. My account got stolen and a stranger who lives in Texas bought sunglasses from my profile (Keep in mind that i'm italian and i have never been to the USA).
I'm mad that this happened.

User-friendly interface and pretty good description. The best for me was the photos. They're outstanding. Shipping was fast and handling exceeded my expectations. I was only disappointed in one of my purses because I double-checked the description and given that both purses were described as "leather," I would probably have picked something else for the second one because they're completely different types of leather.

Was Looking for Men’s Brunello Cucinelli Shirt

I had been looking for a Brunello Cucinelli men’s cotton shirt for my husband and decided to continue my search through The Real Real after having shopped the website and having had good experiences. While scrolling through the selections, which was a very easy and user friendly experience, I came across the one I ended up purchasing. The price was excellent and included a further markdown. The condition was described with sufficient details. When the shirt arrived it exceeded my expectations with both the accuracy of the measurements as well as the condition report. Excellent experience, and will continue shopping the website. Extremely satisfied!

This purchase was a good deal as there was a 50% off holiday sale and I got a $25 store credit for my first time purchase. It's a nice purse in VERY GOOD used condition.

Fake!!!

Fake!!!! “I saved money to buy a decent work bag, spent a long time researching, and purchased a used Victorino in good condition. The bag arrived clearly a fake — the logo already missing pieces, no tag, no code, and no internal pockets. I contacted them and never received a reply. Do not buy from this website. It is misleading advertising; they only wanted to take my money. I’m even embarrassed to use this bag!

Not really as described

I feel as though the descriptions and photos don’t provide enough information or clarity to really understand the value of the purchase. The frames I purchased said they were in very good condition and only had a minor discoloration.. however, I received them with scratches all throughout. There were no photos that showed any examples of what they were referring to. I love the glasses themselves but don’t feel my expectations were fully set.
