Inside The RealReal’s Swanky New Brooklyn Store

by Freya Drohan

The RealReal has opened up shop in Cobble Hill. The expansive 2,500-square-foot location is the designer resale giant’s first foray into the borough (there are already TRR boutiques in Soho and on the UES), and with interest in luxury consignment continuing to surge, it looks like Brooklynites seeking unique pieces will be like proverbial kids in a candy store.

Located at 163 Court Street, the airy space features womenswear and menswear ready-to-wear, plus footwear, accessories, fine jewelry, watches, and home and art. To give the Brooklyn outpost its own distinctive vibe, there’s a hand-painted tile mural by local artist Cassie Griffin, which compliments sustainable cork flooring and plywood cabinetry. There’s also on-site cleaning, repairs, and bespoke alteration services, and two luxury consignment offices and complimentary fine jewelry/watch/handbag expert valuations (so if you’re planning a spring clear out, take note.)

You know getting dressed each day for work or 🏫school was always a problem for me. Not knowing what to wear or what my co workers was saying behind my back, so I decided to do it my way, just wear what feel good in and smell fabulous.
