These are the five best "closet sale" stores in the country with luxury items

With prices up to 30% below commercial prices, these second-hand luxury clothing stores are one of the best options for accessing exclusive products such as Chanel and Gucci bags or clothing from the best international designers.< u> Although they are second-hand stores, they are known as Closet Sale because they are items that their owners often used rarely or even never used and are with their labels.

Here we chose five recommended ones for having the best quality products and with the best features: Shop Legacee, Closet de Moda, Desprendarte, Bronce y Alana, and Garage Sale. They are all run by women entrepreneurs who are experts in fashion who also collaborate with celebrities so that they can sell those clothes that they used very little or never wore; This format is very common in the Closet de Moda store, directed by Andrea Presa.

All products are original because before being exposed to customers they go through a verification process that guarantees authenticity, some brands such as Legacce, have specialized software that allows them through photos and videos to identify if the garment is original or not

“People think that buying second-hand items are parts that are necessarily damaged or don't work; there is no ingrained culture that these are good quality products. Over time, people began to get to know us and saw that what we sell is in good condition and we have customers who come back to buy and recommend us. The accessories sold are 100% original and we verify that they are in very good condition for customers”, explained Vanesa Cure, co-founder of Legacee.
