How would you like to own Kate Moss’ Marc by Marc Jacobs platform heels? What about Julianne Moore’s CHANEL bag? Or Tessa Thompson’s Miu Miu dress? Lake Bell’s Hermès tote? Today, The RealReal, the world’s largest online marketplace for authenticated, resale luxury goods, launches a star-studded celebrity (flash) closet sale full of tantalizingly covetable items in tandem with National Consignment Month. The offering boasts nearly 300 items from 19 different sellers, ranging from actors to stylists to tastemakers.

I know we’re all drawn in by the thought of snagging Annabelle Dexter-Jones’ iconic Loro Piana baseball cap à la Succession, but remember their celebrity hook is just that: a sexy plea to encourage shoppers to heed The RealReal’s Consignment Commitment. The appeal requests that consumers consign one in five items in their closets. Doing so would put fashion on track to achieve the 1.5-degree pathway laid out by the Paris Climate Accord (McKinsey Fashion on Climate report, pg 14). Just think about how much clothing already exists—why not recirculate those pieces to create a marketplace that begins to rival that of the primary counterpart? In tandem with the celebrity closet sale, The RealReal will make a $25,000 donation to Conservation International to help protect oceans, forests, and other living ecosystems.
