Fashionphile, one of the world’s leading luxury resale platforms, celebrated its biggest physical retail and operations milestone to date with the grand opening of its new Los Angeles flagship at Row DTLA in October 2025. The expansion not only amplifies Fashionphile’s West Coast footprint but also pioneers a next-generation concept in experiential luxury shopping, data-driven authentication, and omni-channel retail.
From Digital Pioneer to Flagship Powerhouse
Founded by Sarah Davis in 1999, Fashionphile has grown to become a $500 million annual sales powerhouse, known for category-defining innovation in the authenticated resale of ultra-luxury handbags, fine jewelry, and watches. LA was a natural choice for its largest store yet.
“LA represents our roots and the heart of our largest U.S. customer base. It has a global reputation for luxury, trend setting and celebrity culture that aligns perfectly with us,” Davis said. Fashionphile’s focus on authentic pre-owned designer goods and LA’s proximity to fashion hubs and Hollywood made the city a clear strategic priority.
Size, Setting, and Services
The new flagship spans an astonishing 32,330 square feet at Row DTLA, set in the redeveloped warehouse district near downtown’s historic Terminal Market. The multi-functional space encompasses retail, offices, a photo studio and The Cage—Fashionphile’s high-security, climate-controlled vault for rare pieces, content creation, and training facilities.
“Since 2006, Fashionphile has pioneered a model unique in luxury resale: the ability for customers to walk into a full authentication center and shop directly from the complete online inventory stored onsite. No other player in our space offers this experience,” said Davis.
Local clients can shop and sell in person, get paid instantly for their luxury accessories, and access up to 10,000 items from the company’s online inventory—a feature unmatched in secondhand retail.
A Truly Immersive Shopping Experience
Fashionphile’s LA space sets a new industry standard for luxury resale. The world-class showroom greets clients with walk-in shopping, while dedicated appointments enable sellers to receive instant payment for their items. Shoppers can browse legacy brands including Gucci, Chanel, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Goyard, and more, with all pieces backed by Fashionphile’s rigorous authentication promise.
Retail Expansion and Omnichannel Growth
Fashionphile’s brick-and-mortar business is accelerating, with some locations generating up to $20 million annually and store growth rates ranging from 50% to 100% year-over-year. The brand’s 14 U.S. retail locations, plus its highly successful partnership with Neiman Marcus since 2019, allow customers to sell their luxury goods in-store and online and offer a full-circle luxury experience.
Fashionphile’s international ambitions also gained momentum with the acquisition of Luxe Collective in the UK, moving toward a truly global resale network.
Digital Meets Physical: Technology and Training
Beyond retail, the flagship doubles as a state-of-the-art operations and training hub, with content studios, packing and shipping departments, and the in-house Fashionphile University to shape the next generation of luxury authentication experts, all operationally integrated for transparency and efficiency.
Davis emphasized that the company’s growth stems from a multi-channel strategy, noting that Fashionphile has established itself as the leading destination for pre-owned ultra-luxury goods, delivering the same level of trust, quality, and elevated experience found in premier first-market boutiques.
The Future: Local Experience, Global Scale
Fashionphile’s expansion at Row DTLA signals the next phase of luxury resale, where local experience meets global scale. Surrounded by brands like Revolve, Jonny Cota, and Condé Nast, the creative retail hub highlights how physical spaces continue to play a vital role in connecting digital-first brands with engaged communities. As luxury resale continues to surge and iconic pieces like the Louis Vuitton Speedy maintain their investment appeal, Fashionphile’s data-driven, transparent pricing model keeps it ahead of the curve.
