(Re)sales #001
Introducing our new sales & trading report
As a reminder, Thursday editions are now all things sales!!! Firsthand and secondhand. Consider this your one-stop-shop sales & trading report.
Introducing (Re)sales
(Re)sales will include the following:
best sales of the week
juicy resale links under $300 (mostly TRR for simplicity’s sake — also we know our audience haha)
arbitrage opportunities — items so undervalued (to the point of mispricing!) that you might consider BNTL (buy now, trade later) aka resell for profit. In real estate, it’s flipping. In trading, buy low, sell high. In fashion, retail arbitrage.
For anyone new here, yours truly have been buying and selling secondhand since we were 13/14 respectively (think: 2013, pre #GirlBoss, pre thrift stores upcharging stained Zara blouses and mothball-scented Kasper jackets on their last legs), so we know a thing or two about the art of the (secondhand) deal, common pitfalls, “worn once” mythology, red herrings, false alarms, too-good-to-be-trues (read: counterfeits; yes, even perfumes are not immune), etc...We know every trick in the book and wrote the appendix. Consider Resale our mother tongue, native dialect, and the language we live, breathe, dream.
We are a receipts-based company after all, so here is proof of our first account being created with TRR back in 2013…(had to fish far back for this one)
So consider us your personal arbitrage advisors on fashion. And for a small monthly fee of $8 (this Substack subscription!), you get access to 10+ years of our expertise.
And with that,
THE TRADING FLOOR

SSENSE: The sale continues…would recommend biting the bullet asap because we’ve been noticing some price increases on sale items. Private sales also fluctuate a lot. Right now, thinking about Spinelli (private sale), Courrèges (some insane prices, less than full price J.Crew), and Tekla (amazing colors on sale). Further discounts, RUN. They keep adding more inventory, but a lot is selling out too.

Thinking about this Chloé gabardine cape (been in our wishlist FOREVER, $1153.60 from $2355), Lemaire cotton jersey top ($112 from $200), Pucci swim (lots of good options, $114.80 from $235), Leset Rio black pants ($127.40 from $260), Khaite Devra tee (a staple, $186.20 from $380), Leset blue wool/cashmere blend sweater (stunning color, so cozy, $268.80 from $480).

UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF $300
Loss leader department, c/o TRR
TRR ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITIES
Flip opportunities we're sized-out of or too loaded-up to pursue (our loss, literally)
Celine Mid-Rise Logo Jeans: Ridiculous deal. These jeans fit incredibly well (Chloe tried them on in London) and the lowest on the market we’ve been seeing is $500. They’ve been going really fast too on other platforms like Vestiaire.
