In an industry inundated with fast-fashion brands, the steady rise of luxury resale retailers is a welcome change for those who prefer to invest in their wardrobe and shop more sustainably. Of course, you risk getting duped by a knockoff—something many fall victim to. For me, it was the “designer” necklace I purchased when I was 19 years old. Looking back, it’s inauthenticity couldn’t have been more obvious (I’m talking misspelled logo obvious), but at the time, I couldn’t believe I had found a high-end item I could afford. Nineteen-year-old me desperately needed a program like eBay’s Authenticity Guarantee, which has a team of trained experts who meticulously inspect each product that qualifies. When looking for luxury watches, fine jewelry, designer handbags, and sneakers on eBay, shoppers can feel confident that their purchase is the real deal. And since I’m always curious about what my colleagues are shopping for, I’ve tapped Associate Director of Fashion News Erin Fitzpatrick to share her current lineup. Keep reading to shop her selects, all of which are far more reliable than my great necklace disappointment of 2016.
