Q . What are the three hot items that women are looking for at the moment ? Brogue shoes are huge . Prada and Stella McCartney have nailed it with the platform brogue . Also , we have many women on the hunt for the Veronica Beard blazer with the hoodie insert - so chic paired with denim . Speaking of denim - the high-rise paired with a designer belt is everything this season .
Q . What advice can you share with readers who may worry about the authenticity of items bought at a resale shop ? We guarantee 100 percent authenticity . Everything goes through a rigorous process of being authenticated before it hits the floor . Because we have been in business and authenticating for over 30 years , we have become experts in our industry on authentication . It is not only highly frowned upon in our industry to sell fakes , but also illegal and punishable by law .
Q . What is the process for those who want to sell ? We pay cash for items that have been purchased within the last two to three years , are in style and in great condition . We look for better designer labels from better department stores , boutiques and specialty shops . No appointments are necessary . We have buyers available 10 a . m . to 5 p . m ., Monday through Saturday .
Q . What inspires you to give back to the community ? We are family-owned and -operated and believe the right thing to do is to give back to our community . In 2016 , we gave over $ 25,000 back to the community through organizations like National Council of Jewish Women , National Council of Negro Women , Saint Louis Fashion Fund , Boys and Girls Club , Operation Food Search , Foster and Adoptive Coalition , Purses for Pooches , Pedal for the Cause and many more .
Q . What can people expect from the Vault Luxury Resale in 2018 ? We are launching a book . Think “ Kitchen Confidential ,” but for closets . Only the names have been changed , but the stories are amazing . It ’ s like lady porn . The book should be on shelves by spring .
