Love A Label? Sustainable Ways to Shop High Fashion
There are so many ways to wear and love luxury for less and more sustainably. Shelling out several thousand dollars for a designer bag isn’t ideal for most and maxing out your credit card for a few shots on the gram isn’t ideal for most, either. There are so many options to shop luxury for amazing discounts, sometimes paying even a third of what you would pay retail for designer pieces that you can hold onto for years. Investing in a piece that you can use and hold onto as opposed to buying trendier, less expensive pieces is a much more sustainable way to shop and live. You want to be smart when buying designer pieces second-hand because there are inauthentic pieces out there, but there are so many amazing second-hand designer retailers that authenticate pieces and stand behind their promises. Here are our favorite retailers to find designer labels for less all across the world.
The Real Real
The Real Real is the world’s largest online marketplace for authenticated, consigned luxury goods. Being the largest online marketplace, they undoubtedly have the vastest collection.

Stylists, celebrities, collectors and those who are simply curious visit Valois Vintage Paris to search for pearl-laden broaches, golden cuffs and glittering necklaces. With three stores on one street - and jewels that fascinate with their individual stories – Valois Vintage Paris is a treasure trove of rare and coveted pieces from Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Christian Lacroix and even some from Marguerite de Valois, whose byzantine-inspired jewelry inspired the name (and founders) of the store.
