Bloomingdale's, the iconic department store, is shaking up the luxury retail world with its latest move: teaming up with Rebag, a leader in luxury resale. Starting today, over 2,500 pre-owned designer handbags, watches, and jewelry will now be available on Bloomingdale's online platform, with more than 500 items featured in five of their select stores across the U.S. Imagine this—whether shopping online or in-person, you can find high-end pieces at a fraction of their original price while promoting a circular fashion economy.
"We are delighted to partner with Rebag, an established leader in the luxury resale space, to meet customer needs with this curated addition to our assortment. The strategic partnership brings a new set of ultra-luxury brands to Bloomingdale's while providing access to the finest pre-owned luxury items, enabling a full circular experience," said Jennifer Jones, SVP / GMM Center Core - Women's Accessories at Bloomingdale's.
The custom-designed Rebag concessions, echoing Rebag's store aesthetics, will be strategically positioned on the accessories floors of key Bloomingdale's stores, including The Mall at Short Hills, White Plains in New York, Town Center at Boca Raton, Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks and Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego. Each concession will feature a curated selection of pre-owned luxury items available for purchase.
"We are thrilled to join forces with Bloomingdale's, a name synonymous with luxury and quality. This partnership epitomizes our vision of the complementary relationship between first-hand and second-hand luxury. By bringing Rebag's expertise in sourcing and vetting luxury goods to Bloomingdale's discerning clientele, we are setting a new standard in the luxury retail experience," said Charles Gorra, CEO and Founder of Rebag.
This partnership will allow Bloomingdale's customers to seamlessly buy luxury items both in store and online, bridging the gap between new and pre-owned luxury markets. Rebag will also partner with Bloomingdale's stores management and staff to integrate the Rebag buying and selling experience into Bloomingdale's customer journey.
