It is really scary how much time I can spend in this store and always find one thing. I had the pleasure of working with Avery who was extremely patient as I was running loose like a kid in the candy store. Looking at everything and then I found a wallet that I've been on the hunt for a very long time. He shipped it out for me so don't live in New York any more which helped with the sales tax. I will be back again when I am in town to just take a peek! read more

Soho NYC accepted a return of one of my consignment items - A Ralph Lauren purple labor dress valued at 1800 dollars on the website. Not only did they accept the return outside of their return policy, the dress is completely ruined with makeup and spray tan all over it. I'm devastated this was a brand new dress with tags. I trusted this company to take care of my consignment, and they completely ruined it. This is a horrible company and even worse management who never returned any of my calls or emails and continuously lied to me about their return policy, which is clearly posted all over their website. What store would accept a dress outside of their own return policy, covered in makeup with clear signs of wear at the hem?! read more

RealReal seems best to shop online. Every time I come into a physical location everyone just stares at me. I came in mid afternoon on a weekday and not one person would say hi, a few people were helping others but looked at me as if me walking in was bothersome. I decided to still venture in and made my way to a back counter and saw a Chanel wallet that was a gorgeous green and I wanted to verify it was the specific shade I was looking for. The person behind the counter looked at me while I was looking at the wallet in the case and it was probably so awkward that they felt forced to ask me if I wanted to see it because I wouldn't leave. I had asked them if there was any indication of the specific color or year/season it was. They pulled something up and looked at a code and just said "it just says green". I took that as a sign to just go. But on the bright side I did buy a cute bag on their website! read more

As usual, I am thrilled with the service I received from TRR! This time however, it was a personal visit with Brian and Kevin, how nice to have that one on one exceptional experience. This just solidifies my confidence in this company. They were so nice and went above and beyond to make sure my special request was accommodated. Thank you so much!!! read more

Not only did they raise their shipping prices, they now use a low quality shipping company. That company loses things and when they do, The RealReal takes days into weeks to do nothing. They do not even bother to contact the shipping company when there is a known point at which the lost package was being handled. The shipping company simply states the item is lost. On top of that The RealReal makes it very difficult to locate a phone number for them. When you do, the staff refuses to allow you to speak with a manager. Zero stars would be the better review. Bad performance; bad service; bad outcome. Best to cease doing business with this company. This is NY experience but I have had the same elsewhere. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The RealReal - Soho - Stain in skirt labeled "excellent condition" - Women's Clothing Near Me - New York, New York

People experiences based on what they got so maybe I visit the store for many times, and I don't care if anyone will greet me. I walk around freely and if security will stare at me a bit, it won't bother me. When I saw when I was interested in, I called the staff and he willingly to help me nicely. I tried on the bag, asked about more details, no push, no rush even go out of the tangent. Good thing about going to store, you get to see the real and can feel the item. But not all the items online are in the store, so I always check before I go. I have experience sell and buy luxury items from them and It went well. I honestly want to say they charged too much of fee like 30% of price go to them not including discount but you are secure with protection, so this is the price you have to pay. read more

I've been to TRR SoHo to consign and shop. The consignment staff in particular is super nice and super quick. I always feel like I'm getting vibe checked at spots like buffalo exchange or vintage shops but it's all warm and friendly here. Plus the clothes and shoes are genuinely great selects. My boyfriend loves vintage watches and has a real field day looking around. The prices are about market value according to him. The designer shoe selection is amazing, not too worn, slight price reduction read more

This review is not for this specific store but rather for online purchases/selling. I am very disappointed with Real Real consignment special Markita Gibson. She calls herself Senior Luxury Specialist. I sent my Marc Jacob bag which is in very good condition (only used them a couple of times). Real Real/Markita didn't inform me how much the items would be sold after they gave me the estimate of the price. Also, Markita doesn't inform me of the commission rate. Please do not buy or sell your items from Real Real. Real Real lucky that Yelp doesn't have 0 stars. If you need to buy or sell your items go to REBAG or FASHIONPHILE. read more

so the story continues.... I purchased a dress for my wife as we have been invited to visit the white house... my wife found this dress that kate middletown had and i ordered it... she is a size 0 or 2 and the dress was a size 2... a size 7 came when i called costumer service to speak about it i was hung up on 9x... their call center is out of india they have no idea what they are doing i dont think they can even transfer you to a manager they are useless so basically they told me that they will be happy to send me a return label to ship the dress back for free... oh wow of course its 5 sizes to big what do you think we were going to do with it use it as a table cloth? so it gets better the dress shows back up on the realreal for 100$ more money again in a size 2 so i ask for a $100 credit so i can get the dress in the correct size they refuse and i order my wife the dress for $100 more in a size 2 bc again we are going to the white house. this sat a package comes its the dress yeeeey! but in a shyamalan plot twist the dress comes in a size 4... I tried to call on sunday they are closed... i call on monday i speak with a paulie she confirms they are out of india i explain the whole situation and she finally agrees to send me to a manager which i sit on hold for 6 mins than she hangsup on me ... i call back and speak a man named steve again he confirms hes from india ... i explain the story to him about 4 items come that are wrong and now i have 2 dresses each time that i have purchased that are rsupposed to be a size 2 yet they are size 7 and size 4... i let him know i would like to speak to a manager and he refuses he tells me there are NO MANAGERS and offers me a $25 site credit ... i ask why i would want 25 dollars when i can just make a new email address and get $25 dollars ... these people are worthless and a waste of time... im calling my credit card company i am tired of trying with these scam artists. read more

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 read more

Stay away as a Consignor they are a horror show. I had a large commission they made a site credit. I wanted the money. Lied cheated. Run.

A month after this, my credit card was used to make two purchases of men's Gucci loafers and a gold Rolex watch . These had been shipped to a new address IN ARIZONA, where I do not live. It wasn't caught by REAL REAL, PAYPAL, nor my bank , Wells Fargo I'm out $26,000. 00 because of COVID the time frame and lack of support staff. Don't buy from REAL REAL in SoHo, they will retaliate if you return things. read more

Very disappointed, not with the stores but the online system. I sold some Christian Louboutin boots that i wore less than 10 times, in a condition that is way better than any shoes you see posted online. They have the audacity to post them at a 72% off retail price. It's honestly a joke, this will be my first and last time selling through them. They retal for $1290 and they listed them for $355, honestly extremely disappointed. Don't sell or buy from them. read more

i'm so tired of pretentious places like this acting like they're all that. I'm a VIP consignor. I literally built your business. There's no help to be found anywhere. Everybody is extremely unhelpful. They tell you "one moment" and sit and type on the computer in front of you for minutes on minutes on minutes. I've seen it in multiple TRR locations across the country. The 2.6 star rating does not surprise me at all. Barely any eye contact. The feel is that it's transplants from wherever working in here to get some extra side cash. Vibe is so bad. y'all sure do know how to kill a stroll in Soho vibe. I hope it closes and these transplants all those their jobs. i'm not saying this in a bitter way. I'm saying this because it would literally make soho better. read more

Would give zero stars if that were an option. Many issues to cover here. One of the items I consigned with them, a brand new/unused Hermes wallet that was confirmed received by them in an email and packaged/sent to them exactly how they instructed me to, was later claimed not received. I filed a complaint with them, only to receive automated responses and no actual resolution for over 6 months, only to be told that I must have packed it incorrectly or forgot to include it. All this despite the fact they confirmed its receipt by email. So they essentially stole my wallet, claimed it was my fault, denied any accountability, and did not compensate me in any way for it. DO NOT CONSIGN ANYTHING WITH THIS COMPANY. They are scam artists and take zero accountability even when all evidence points to them. Not to mention their consignment rates are ridiculous. read more

I had to negotiate with my boyfriend to get him to let me review this place, as very few people seem to know about it, and he wants to keep it that way! It's in the basement of The RealReal, and there aren't any signs on the outside or upstairs advertising the café. I shopped at TRR upstairs many times before discovering it because all the women's stuff is upstairs, and you have no reason to go downstairs unless you're shopping mens, consigning, or.... visiting the café! When we discovered the café, we were thrilled to see that they serve Sightglass Coffee because we used to live in San Francisco near the OG Sightglass and haven't had access to it since moving back to the East Coast. It can be tricky getting coffee here, because there isn't a bathroom. But there is a lovely outdoor patio/garden that actually stays quite warm in the winter because it's surrounded from the wind. My boyfriend says the coffee is excellent, and the citrus spice hot chocolate is amazing as well. For oat milk they use an Australian brand instead of Oatly because Oatly supports deforestation. Also the baristas are always friendly! It's hard to pick a favorite, but I'd say that Jason, who we've found there two Saturdays in a row, so safe to assume he works Saturdays afternoons?, is our favorite. He offers free boxed water to customers who are just passing the barista bar to consign items, and he even gifted my boyfriend a bag of coffee beans on our way out. Please no one find out about this place, although my review is really not conducive to that goal. read more

This is a wonderful high end retail store that you can sell your Couture goods on consignment. You also have the wonderful opportunity to buy high end goods of jewelry, shoes, men's and women's clothes as well as coats, hats, and handbags. I have sold and bought from the real real for 10 years now. The customer service is excellent! The store and this location is honest so if there's an Hermès bag or Chanel bag for sale it's authentic. They also have a location on the upper east side. read more

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. read more

Trusted this company to sell my items. They had sent back 17 items as they could not consign and they packaged it so horrendously, that the box completely tore and all of the items fell out.

Great customer service! Was well taken care of immediately upon entry. Came to the counter and someone showed up asap!

Sold me a Fake Bags... I ordered a Saint Laurent handbag, the description said authentic with the bag. I received the bag in the Real REal bag, not a YSL bag. I thought it was strange so I asked the company for authenticity papers, especially after looking through the bag for the serial number tag and not finding it. The company never responded to my request. I sent a second request and again was ignored by the company. I filed a BBB complaint requesting a refund and offering to return the bag with the RR tags on it and the company informed the BBB that had provided me the documents I was requesting. They dared to keep repeating that lie to the BBB until they closed my complaint. Now I have to assume the Fendi bag I purchased is fake as well. If you decide to purchase from them just know you may not get what you expect. read more

This is a review for their online store. Negative star if I could. Never have I ever experienced such outrageous practice like this company. They took my consignments and recorded them on their En Route email. Then they claimed they couldn't locate one of the items after weeks and weeks of email exchanges and follow ups. They simply said NO compensation. Guess what - the next day, I found my shoes on their website listed at a price much lower than what was initially quoted. And no, they were not listed under my sales. I don't know where that money is going. I am stunned. Customer service stopped responding all together. read more

I started consigning with RealReal about a year ago. My experience has been pretty good until recently. Firstly, the account manager ghosted on me, no response to my email/text. Secondly, the pricing evaluation went insane, I consigned a pair of brand new Paul Smith dress shoes in the original box with labeled price at $550. Guess how much they paid me, $30! RIDICULOUS! I tried to contact them to remove the item and ship them back to me before somebody bought them. It took them 3 days to get back to me and of course it was too late. Make luxury live longer, what a great concept, but the implementation by RealReal is disappointing. Not to mention that they constantly drop the price and run promotion on your items without giving you any notice. What a house of robber barons. read more

Walk passed all the clothes, look for the staircase and take it down to find their Cafe tucked away in the corner! This review is for their cafe. We loved it, we tried their lemon tart, cheesecake, shwarma wrap and few other things (can't recall). They were all tasty, grab and go style items. The cashier/server was soooo nice, wish I got his name, we chatted it up and he gave us his tops recs on what to try, before heading out. We enjoyed our items back at home.

I had heard of this store on the internet but never knew there was an actual brick and mortar shop. It was fun to look around in a luxury consignment shop.

There is a great little coffee shop in the basement too. read more
