Over the past six years I have purchased many shoes, and I am always impressed with the vast variety and styles to choose from.

My handbag was exactly as described. I was just a little disappointed with the packaging, once I believe that when you buy something on the expensive side a nice packaging makes the experience better.... See more

More bad experiences than good

I wish TRR would get it together, it has such potential.
A The Great sweatshirt arrived with paint all over it. They called it "moderate discoloration". This sweatshirt is in "ruined" condition.
A Guest in Residence sweater. Came with stains all over it and they called it "moderate pilling". I thought it was food stains and accepted a $15 credit toward dry cleaning, but the stains didn't come out and I threw out the sweater. The condition was not "good" it was "ruined".

I believe the men’s size 9 that I was sent are a woman’s size 9 because I can’t get my foot into it comfortably. I tried to return and now it’s gonna cost $160 to return something that was misrepresented very dissatisfied and I won’t use this site again.

Fake Luxury Item

In July 2026, I placed a multi-item order (#R437245214) that included a pair of silk Tom Ford dress socks. For the second time, I received a pair of "Tom Ford" socks with absolutely no tagging, embroidery, monogramming or any other credible evidence that the socks were from the brand. I contacted TheRealReal and, given that the item was final sale, they insisted they were authentic and refused a return. Be very careful with final sale items because even if the item has a significant condition or authenticity issue, it's often a tremendous amount of work to even get them to honor a return.

Tried to shop and sell with this company and it was a mess! No one knows what they are doing, merchandise are over priced, and if you try to sell something they give you a lower price than if you went to a pawn shop!
I wouldn’t do business with them again

I feel like I just stepped out of Bergdorfs when I wear your beautiful, curated designer clothing, purses, hats, jewelry including Graff earrings and a 5 carat diamond and pearl ring, shoes, you name it The Real Real has it! This past week end we went to a Hospital event and I wore a couple of the items mentioned above and a $4995 new with tags Marchesa beaded dress, long gloves, a feather hat, Manolo lace heels. and a Chanel tiny alligator bag, my partner wore a like new cream white Brioni silk jacket, Brioni black shirt, and black pants all The Real Real including the socks!

They sold my designer purses quickly

They sold my designer purses quickly. The pricing was fair and on a couple of purses I requested back because I felt they underpriced it. They returned them back to me well packed and intact. Customer Service is also very good and responsive.

No resolution. I paid extra for ability to return and I’m still waiting for a response even though the “deadline”
To return has passed while I’ve been waiting for a response

Found a beautiful Gucci belt that was a limited edition and I could not buy any longer. It was listed as being in excellent condition and it was! It arrived quickly and was packaged nicely. It was my first time buying from the The Real Real and I would not hesitate to buy again from here. Great experience.

Product description:

I like the fact that the pricing and deals are the best on the market. I love the fact that the goods are being shipped straight away.
Unfortunately, the item descriptions need significant improvement.
Ordered green leather pants; what arrived was black.
You couldn't see in the picture whether the colour was dark green or black, but it was described as GREEN.
Ordered an M-size leather coat as per the description; what arrived was size XS.
Ordered silver pants in EXCELLENT condition; received silver pants with dark brown spots that you could not see in the photos.

Actually Legit!

Fast shipping, IGI report came back accurate, great price & I love my ring! I ordered a jewelers loupe off Amazon (local jewelers charged over $200 to access) and found the IGI numbers on my diamond and it came out legit!
