Are you considering buying a preloved luxury item from Real Real or any other platform? Join me on this journey as I try to verify the authenticity of my Hermes Evelyn Bag and gain insight into whether we can trust preloved luxury platforms.

Find out what happened when my audience pointed out that the leather used wasn't Togo, as described, but Clemence. Learn how I got a response from RealReal customer service - and if they were up to the standards of luxury brands. Tune in to find out if we can trust these platforms or not!
