With a robust retail and digital presence, the first-of-its-kind partnership promotes circularity
NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 2024 /CNW/ -- Rebag, the leading luxury resale platform, announces a strategic retail and digital partnership with the iconic department store Bloomingdale's, aimed at democratizing the luxury goods market. The first-of-its-kind collaboration is designed to promote sustainability and circularity while providing unparalleled access to best-in-class brands. The partnership includes a meticulously 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, 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. 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.
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. The collaboration brings coveted brands and exceptional items to Bloomingdale's customers, enriching their shopping experience with unparalleled offerings. 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.
