More and more, I’m drawn to peruse the pages of luxury resale sites like The RealReal, Rebag and even the pre-owned section of Farfetch to scratch my online window-shopping itch.

So in the event my scroll turns into a new acquisition, I can rest assured that I’ve extended the life of a beautiful item while avoiding more unnecessary waste being added to a landfill. Win – win!
