    BS +++ (Actually, make that 20 star-shaped Van Cleef and Arpels pearls) I had an amazing experience at TheRealReal Soho location, thanks to the exceptional service provided by Lisa Min. Her professionalism, warm smile, and ability to make me feel at ease were unmatched. Her immense product knowledge was truly impressive and played a big part in my decision to purchase a Cartier Love band and a Rolex Submariner here, rather than from an authorized dealer. The store is fully stocked with a wide selection of luxury goods, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The space is clean, well-organized, and conveniently located near public transportation with plenty of parking available. I can't wait to buy more! Are you still reading? Stop waiting--go now. And to those who have left negative reviews, believe what you want, but you can't make everyone happy. Experience it yourself and see what I'm talking about. Trust me. I'm a vegan. Boomsauce Scale: BW - basura (trash) BS - basic (come on! Try harder) BS + - better (Yo! That's better) BS ++ - best (alright! Alright! Alrightttt!) BS +++ - Amazing location! now that's boomsauce!

    What i bought

    As an overseas customer who has purchased nearly 600 items from TheRealReal in about a year, I am truly disappointed with the original and outdated management system of TheRealReal. 1. It's certain that you often receive products that don't match the description. This is a common little trick of TheRealReal. It's hard to imagine that such a listed company could play such a 'naughty trick'. 2. Want to get a refund before shipping? No way! Temporary workers won't look at your purchase history at all. They'll take advantage of you whenever they can. Even if you just want to return a confirmed order to save on shipping and repurchase with additional items. Don't worry, different customer service representatives will use different excuses to deceive you. Even before shipping, you can't get a refund. The regret period is only 15 minutes. See, this is a rule that isn't written on the product purchase page. 3. Even though they could have chosen not to ship the items, The RealReal still decided to do so after I applied for a return. Let me think, were they afraid that if I returned the shoes, I wouldn't buy them anymore? How could I return an order that included over a dozen pairs of shoes? What if I didn't want to buy them anymore? It wasn't until I showed them my purchase history for the past year and my identity as a high-heel blogger that they apologized and said, "We'll return the package for you." 4. Even though their associate assured me: "We've already contacted UPS! Please rest assured! Please ignore the update of the tracking number!" I was still pleasantly surprised to receive the package and, under the delivery person's watchful eyes, checked the package and asked him to take it back to UPS. 5. After two weeks of no response despite the package being scanned at the warehouse in the sending country, I contacted UPS. UPS said that the sender (TRR) needed to be contacted. However, when I asked the sender, they gave me no information every day and told me to wait. 6. Later, I found out that those employees who claimed to have proactively contacted UPS to return the packages after shipment were lying. They were just repeating the same words every day to fob me off, telling me to take a break and stop messaging them. I think it might be me who has affected their chance to relax properly at work. 7. I'm currently very worried about an order that still has over 1700 US dollars that hasn't been refunded. However, the order interface shows "shipped" and all items as "not returnable", which gives me a whiff of taking advantage of loopholes and fraud. According to what an employee of TRR said, their courier services are all insured, and even if the goods are lost, compensation can be obtained. So now, for the order that I haven't received the goods and need to return and get a refund, its status has changed to "completed". Am I in a very "dangerous" position now? 8. TheRealReal Do you want to solve the problem? If so, don't let your family dolls talk to me anymore.

    Stain in skirt labeled "excellent condition"
    PAOLA E.

    This review is not for this specific store but rather for online purchases. TRR prides themselves on top notch quality control. However, there have been 2 separate instances where I have purchased items labeled "excellent condition" but that was not the case. 1) a Burberry leather skirt- purchased and never wore it so I decided to consign it with them. They send it back stating it was in poor condition. They got it just as they sold it to me. 2) I purchased a Ganni skirt labeled "excellent condition" when it arrived I hung it in my closet, but when it came time to wear (30 days later) I noticed oil stains in the front of the skirt. When I reached out to the asking for a refund the refused to provide refund for original payment only giving me a online credit i.e. I got stuck paying the original $15 shipping and would have to pay y we another $15 shipping fee for when I use the credit they gave. And I was as also asked to return the item. Like why punish your customer for your false marketing. I HAVE LOST MY TRUST IN THIS COMPANY.

    Great selection and merchandising of curated new and used. Also love that they have seating for men and art on display!

    Came in from out of town and visited this place for some vintage finds unfortunately too pricey for my wallet.

    THR169327 / THR169488/ THR169489 DO NOT CONSIGN WITH THEM I dropped off 3 bags with them but I didn't consign agreement but they said they'll do appraisal for the price. After 1 month of checking the item condition and the authenticity suddenly on 3/27/2025 they removed the item from the listing and said due to internal reasons they can't return my items and deemed it as fake. When I told the realreal's cs that they never asked for proof or purchase they went radio silent and weeks later I received email from the authenticity dept asking for proof of purchase and when I submitted it they still denied to return my items stating it as a fake. Then I asked who did the authentication and the process of it and they went radio silence. I had to get my lawyer involved and they still haven't responded back. I also had 6 other The reformation clothing and 1 Stuart Weitzman boots they didn't return. I contacted the RealReal yesterday only to find out that their Instagram account blocked me. THR169327 - it saids it's been shipped back on their website but they never shipped it back and they put the reason as customer changed mind. I'll be dealing this to court if my items aren't returned

    Wallet purchased.

    I would rate a zero if I could. I have been a loyal customer of the realreal for years. Last year, I had bought an LV wallet from the soho location ($450) it is now shedding just like a fake one would, after much care. I stopped by LV to do a check recently, even though I know that real leather would NEVER shed, and they confirmed it was fake. I would beware of this store and location.

But that is why Unique Boutique -- and each item is unique -- is so much fun. A note -- someone reviewed it saying "I called to ask about furniture and the guy said no and hung up the phone..." This is what I mean about customers not understanding retail...you asked a question, he answered it and why should he stay on the phone with you ? There is no way this store has the space to accommodate furniture and once that is clear, there is nothing more to say, so salespeople hang up. If you would like them to apologize for not taking or selling something impossible, that is what you expect culturally, but other people do not think that is necessary in what is not a personal relationship.

I'm appalled by the way Jonathan, the owner, responds to many of the 1-star reviews here on Yelp. Not only does he appear to respond mostly to negative feedback, but his tone often comes across as rude and overly defensive. Jonathan, having a business for 30 years doesn't give you a free pass to be dismissive toward people who are simply sharing their experiences. There's always room for growth and improvement. Instead of being combative, take the time to really listen to your customers and consider their concerns--this could lead to positive changes and an even better shopping experience. That said, I visited this consignment store a few days ago, and Jonathan himself was actually very helpful and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the consignment process and was very pleasant throughout. The store itself is a bit overcrowded with clothing and shoes, which can feel overwhelming, but the selection is solid and the pricing is reasonable considering the focus on high-end pieces. While the clothing leans more mature, there are definitely options for all ages. This shop is exclusively for women--I didn't see any men's items, but that's not a dealbreaker for me. The clearance section is located upstairs, and while I did find a lot of regular designer names, I didn't spot many high-end pieces there aside from a few pairs of shoes. Also, the upstairs area definitely needs better ventilation--AC or at least a few fans would make a big difference, as it was uncomfortably warm. As for handbags, I might have missed them since I was more focused on clothes and shoes, but I didn't see any notable high-end options in that category during my visit. I plan to return soon with more time to explore. Despite my concerns about how the owner responds to feedback online, I didn't experience any issues personally during my visit. I actually had a positive shopping experience, and I would recommend this store. I just hope that in the future, there's some improvement in how customer feedback is handled publicly--it really does make a difference.

I bought what I thought was a high-end band for my Apple Watch, only to realize the exact same cheap, low-quality band is sold at Target and Amazon for a third of the price. The moment I opened the box, I was shocked. The photos online are clearly "enhanced" to look luxury, but the physical product is flimsy and doesn't match the description at all. When I immediately emailed to request a full refund, they started playing games. They claimed they wanted to "ensure my satisfaction" but insisted I send them a photo of the bracelet first--which is ridiculous since I had just received it and told them it was in the original condition. I sent them my original invoice to prove the purchase and reiterated that I simply do not want the item. Since then? Total radio silence. They have completely stopped responding to my emails. To make matters worse, their phone line is a joke; it seems to exist only to tell you they don't take calls or to leave you hanging. Do not waste your money here. You're paying "luxury" prices for dollar-store quality and zero customer support.
