Vestiaire Let Me Play Dress-Up at Their Warehouse—10 Finds I Didn't Want to Part With


When Vestiaire Collective invited me to their NYC warehouse last month, it was like a fashion-editor’s daydream. All around me were racks up racks of the most covetable designer vintage and secondhand pieces a fashion girl could ever want. ’90s Gucci! Like-new Khaite! Prada nylon! Like a kid in a candy store, I found myself plucking piece after piece to try on, and before I knew it, my arms were growing heavy under the weight of all my selections.

If you’ve ever shopped on the resale platform, you’re well aware that the peer-to-peer system slows down the time between purchase and receiving your order since each piece get rerouted through their authentication team (tough for instant gratification, necessary for quality control). But the team clued me a little-known hack for finding the best stuff and making sure it hits your doorstep in record time. Essentially, the Vestiaire outpost I visited is home to a bunch of authenticated pieces that are ready to ship. You can browse this selection here. Of course, if you want to skip ahead to what’s really worth buying, simply peruse my edit below, where I’ve included outfit photos and my personal review of 10 ready-to-ship items from Vestiaire’s warehouse. Shop now, thank me later.

As soon as I walked into the showroom space, I locked eyes with this Khaite jacket. Between the buttery-soft leather and streamlined silhouette, I didn’t want to take it off despite the mid-July heatwave NYC was experiencing that afternoon. It felt nearly mint condition and was priced accordingly—just under its retail value—despite being a discontinued style.
