Online Find: Wardrobe Mistress

We recently stumbled across Wardrobe Mistress – a place where you can buy and/or sell your luxury designer goods. After speaking with the company, we discovered they also offer wardrobe management and detoxing (love that phrase – be gone you toxic blouse!) personal styling and personal shopping services.

We were more interested in the online buying and selling of designer goods. If you have designer clothes, shoes or accessories that are still in good condition but you know you’ll never wear them again, Wardrobe Mistress are worth considering. They make the sale of your goods easy and hassle free and basically do it all for you.

You can drop your items off at their Knightsbridge office or post it to them for appraising. If they decide it’s real (!) and saleable, you sit back and wait for the money to come in. There are no fees to sell and their commission starts at 25%. A lot more than EBay yes, but we think you’re more likely to get the price you know your goods are worth.

Even better, you can use Wardrobe Mistress to get ‘gently used’ (their phrase) and even some new designer clothes and accessories at a huge markdown. They stock authentic Chanel, Hermes, YSL, McQueen – brands you love but might never afford full price.

Gucci small clutch. £85

Prada purse. £50

Balenciaga. £300

Vivienne Westwood. £399

Definitely one to keep in mind when you want to treat yourself!
