The RealReal is the best of both worlds. First off, it's technically a consignment shop, which means we snag each piece at a major discount (we're talking upwards of 70% off). Secondly, it's exclusively a designer consignment shop, meaning we're able to shop brands like Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Balenciaga, and more. As if that's not enough, it encourages sustainable shopping practices since, as we all know, shopping secondhand is better than buying brand-new.
It's no surprise, then, that we're constantly scrolling through The RealReal's website, attempting to spot the best pieces and the best discounts. It's not always easy. With such a large selection, it takes a little work and a lot of determination. (As any fashion editor will tell you, online shopping is a marathon, not a sprint). But we're used to it, which is why we sifted through 500 products to find the top 25 on the entire website. Keep scrolling to see our favorite picks from The RealReal, from brands like Saint Laurent, Celine, Mansur Gavriel, and more.
Saint Laurent's iconic Sac de Jour is more than $1500 off its estimated retail price, and this cobalt blue color makes it stand out from others in the crowd.
This newsboy cap from Celine is the accessory we didn't know we needed in 2020.
This iconic Chanel flap bag was given a modern twist with a coating of multicolored sequins. It's a smart investment piece at more than $1000 off its estimated retail value.
An example of office-appropriate boots we actually want to wear on the weekends, too.
We only have one word for this velvet clutch that comes complete with metal hardware, and that word is chic.
These small gold twist hoops are right on-trend (and will continue to be right on-trend throughout all of 2020).
This mini plexiglass Gucci bag looks like something Hailey Bieber would wear, and we mean that in the best way. Right now, it's almost $600 off its original price.
A Hermès scarf makes any wardrobe feel like a high-end fashion archive. We like the opulent pattern on this one.
The dimensions of this sleek Mansur Gavriel bucket bag are (dare we say) perfect. It's large enough to hold all your essentials without looking bulky or heavy, thanks to a sleek silhouette.
Speaking of classic silhouettes, these aviator sunglasses are available for only $60.
No, you're not dreaming. This is a real-life pair of Manolos for less than $200 and in a classic slingback design no less.
The blocked nature of this design puts a cool spin on a classic black blazer.
This dainty pewter bag is a perfect (and budget-friendly) addition to any bag collection.
Hunter green patent leather, a pointed toe, and a stiletto heel are the three most important elements to creating a sleek boot.
You can never go wrong with a pair of classic round sunglasses, like these from Stella McCartney, the queen of sporty-chic designs.
This Louis Vuitton bag is priced at $445. It's original estimated price is more than triple that number, so now's the time to indulge.
This is the year we're bringing back statement rings. This one, from Tiffany & Co., is available for less than half of its estimated retail price.
These embroidered kitten heels are only $75. Let us say that one more time. These embroidered kitten heels are only $75.
A Lanvin bag priced under $300? Say no more. This metallic baguette bag is basically made for wearing with a pair of high-waisted jeans and kitten heels.
This Chanel Satin Track Jacket is almost $2000 off its estimated retail value. We love the pearl details; it's like the French way to do athleisure.
Saint Laurent sneakers are a surefire way to make a casual weekend outfit look a touch trendier (not to mention more elevated).
We firmly believe in the power of a sleek cognac belt. It makes for a simple yet eye-catching accessory.
This vintage Bottega Veneta bag looks light and summery, which is why we think that it would make a perfect vacation companion.
We're planning on pairing these square-toe, wrap-around sandals with light-wash jeans and a white tee for an effortless model-off-duty kind of outfit. Those just happen to be some of our favorite kinds of outfits.
