Rebag and Amazon team up to redefine how shoppers buy pre-owned luxury

Rebag, the fast-rising luxury resale powerhouse, announced its partnership with Luxury Stores on Amazon on June 10, bringing nearly 30,000 authenticated pre-owned luxury items — including Cartier, Chanel, and, Hermès — to the platform. Rebag joins the likes of myGemma and What Goes Around Comes Around — vintage luxury storefronts already established on Amazon — expanding the e-tailers growing secondhand fashion footprint. While Rebag is still smaller than resale heavyweights like The RealReal, which brought in $549 million in revenue in 2023, or Vestiaire Collective, valued at $1.2 billion, its tech-driven strategy continues to set it apart in a crowded luxury resale market. Advertisement The Amazon partnership enables Rebag to scale quickly without relying on high-overhead storefronts or thin-margin mass resale, thanks to its direct purchase model, making it a perfect pairing with Amazon's reach and speed. This strategic move also positions Rebag to compete more aggressively with larger resale players, essentially making rare luxury finds as easy as ordering toilet paper and a Birkin bag with a single click. A Birkin bag found on Rebag currently starts as low as $12,670, a relative steal compared to typical prices that range from $30,000 to well over $200,000 for previously owned models. The rollout follows Amazon's earlier luxury partnership with Saks, announced this spring, which brought ready-to-wear runway pieces from brands like Balmain and Dolce & Gabbana to the e-commerce giant. But where Saks brings new-season luxury, Rebag offers past-season, pre-loved investment pieces, making Amazon a one-stop destination for both ends of the fashion spectrum. Amazon may be quietly stacking its deck of secondhand power players, and the strategy is starting to show. The secondhand market is expected to grow 2.7 times faster than the overall global apparel market, according to ThredUp's 2024 Resale Report. The global resale demand is projected to reach $367 billion by 2029, making Rebag — and now Amazon — a key player in the future of fashion. Getty Rebag was founded in 2014 by Charles Gorra, a Harvard Business School graduate whose experience at Goldman Sachs, TPG Capital, and Rent the Runway uniquely positioned him to disrupt the luxury resale market. His blend of finance and fashion-tech acumen has helped build consumer trust and drive the brand's growth. 'Our partnership with Amazon creates greater access to luxury resale for customers across the U.S.,' Gorra told The Post. 'It introduces a new, convenient way to shop for luxury items with fast delivery and broadens Rebag's awareness and reach with the goal of making resale more accessible.' It's a unique shift: Amazon shoppers can now receive authenticated investment pieces through Rebag in just two days. Items can be searched by exact specifications and delivered straight to their door. Brick-and-mortar locations in New York, Los Angeles, Florida, and Bloomingdale's outposts have already made Rebag a familiar name among shoppers. But this Amazon partnership takes things to a whole new level, making rare luxury finds even easier to track down — and in their hands — in as little as two days. Given inflation's impact on the economic landscape, Rebag's entrance into Amazon's digital platform couldn't have come at a better time for shoppers seeking luxury goods at more accessible price points. Amazon will now become the place where you can order groceries, essentials and aspirational purchases. If luxury becomes accessible on the world's largest e-commerce platform, one has to wonder, will we ever need to shop anywhere else?

Diddy's Kids Are Reportedly Splurging His Money To Look Like 'Ballers' Despite Rapper's Legal Troubles
Sean "Diddy" Combs' children are reportedly splurging his money on high-end shopping sprees and vacations as their famous father continues to stay in prison. The rapper's legal troubles are seemingly mounting as he has been accused of years of sexual abuse by various alleged victims. An anonymous accuser recently alleged in a new lawsuit that Sean "Diddy" Combs sexually assaulted him and claimed he was linked to Tupac Shakur's murder. Diddy's children are said to be spending his money with reckless abandon, despite their father's ongoing incarceration. A source close to the embattled rapper told the New York Post that his children have been treating themselves to lavish island vacations and indulging in elaborate shopping sprees both within the country and abroad. "They wanna look like ballers and project this image on Instagram and TikTok," the source explained. "But that's Diddy's money. I mean, maybe he gave them permission to spend it, but I doubt it since he's got all these people suing him." According to findings by the news outlet, Diddy's private jet has gone on multiple local and international trips since he was arrested last September. Some locations offered by flight data include California, Hawaii, Texas, Florida, and several other states, as well as Mexico, Italy, India, Ireland, Canada, and St. Martin. "Jet fuel ain't cheap," said the source. "Every other day, these kids are getting on Puff's jet, and every time they do that, it costs him thousands — just for the f-cking fuel." Diddy's children do not hold back when it comes to flaunting how much of a good life they can afford with their father's money. The rapper has seven children with four different women: Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, twins D'Lila and Jessie, and Love Sean. On his Instagram account, Christian recently shared a video of him playing on an ocean beach with the youngest of Diddy's seven kids, Love. Pictures also show him shopping for diamond-encrusted watches and designer jackets at luxury vintage clothing store What Goes Around Comes Around and exiting an SUV carrying shopping bags from five high-end shops. Other pictures show him riding camels in Mexico with his girlfriend Raven Tracy. On her account, he can also be seen with a massive diamond chain around his neck, while Tracy enjoys a spa and a lounge on a yacht. His brother Quincy also enjoyed some fun in the sun, while Chance recently rode horses along a sandy beach following a trip to an amusement park. Diddy's twins also went on a trip to St. Barts last month and took to Instagram to post photos, wearing matching Christian Dior bikinis aboard a dark blue yacht. The source also added that they've not only been treating themselves well but have also been doling out cash to their friends. "When the cat's away, what do the mice do?" the source continued. "With him waiting in jail for this trial, those kids are doing whatever." Diddy is estimated to be worth around $400 million by Forbes, although, amid his ongoing lawsuit, it'll likely have taken a downward turn. "They're acting like he's been convicted already. Or he's dead. Like he ain't coming back. That's the entitlement of these younger folks," the source shared. "If the cat ever comes back, those mice are f-cked," they added. Diddy's legal troubles continue to compound ahead of his trial in May. He's currently being held at the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. In a new lawsuit filed on Wednesday, February 26, a John Doe accused him of sexual assault as well as being involved in the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. Court documents showed that Diddy allegedly threatened the anonymous accuser by claiming to have been the one who got "Pac hit." According to The Mirror, John Doe noted that he was a contractor for a "male companion service" in Florida and would often travel to New York at Diddy's request, adding that he believes he was lured to be sexually assaulted. Allegedly, one night at the New York City Intercontinental Hotel, Diddy ordered John Doe to "perform sexual acts upon a female companion" of his. The plaintiff recalls being directed by Diddy to perform oral and penetrative sex on the woman for "multiple hours" and "perform degrading acts upon her." The plaintiff claimed that he drank water from a bottle Diddy gave him and began to feel "as if he had been drugged and not in complete control of his body." After he was done with the act, he got into the bathroom, but Diddy allegedly followed him, saying, "I really want you to stay, let's turn up, let's turn up." He claimed to have told the rapper that he was not feeling well and needed to leave, to which Diddy allegedly responded, "No, we're gonna have some fun," and "grabbed Doe's penis while he began to simultaneously touch himself." Diddy then proceeded to allegedly rape John Doe, threatening him not to utter a word about the incident. "You better not say a word to anybody about this. Did you hear me? I'm not f-cking playing with you," Diddy told John Doe, adding, "If I can get Pac hit, what the f-ck do you think can happen to you?" John Doe claimed he agreed not to say anything as he feared for his life.
