Luxury resale platform Rebag has formed a strategic retail and digital partnership with Bloomingdale’s aimed at democratizing the luxury goods market, promoting sustainability and circularity while expanding access to high-end brands. The partnership includes a curated selection of over 2,500 designer handbags, watches and fine jewelry, available online at Bloomingdales.com and over 500 items in five select Bloomingdale’s stores nationwide.
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, New Jersey; White Plains in New York; Town Center at Boca Raton, Florida; Westfield Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks, California and Fashion Valley Mall in San Diego. Each concession will feature a curated selection of pre-owned luxury items available for purchase. Bloomingdale’s customers will also be able to receive offers for select items they wish to sell. Rebag’s unique luxury resale service leverages its proprietary AI tool, Clair, which uses millions of data points, to determine fair item values and offer fast quotes and payouts on premises.
“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,” said Charles Gorra, CEO and founder of Rebag. “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.”
The items bought and sold by Rebag at Bloomingdale’s and on Bloomingdales.com will be focused solely on select ultra high-end pieces including handbags, watches and fine jewelry. Rebag will also partner with Bloomingdale’s stores management and staff to integrate the Rebag buying and selling experience into Bloomingdale’s customer journey.
