TheRealReal partners with MyTheresa

The RealReal is celebrating its fifth annual National Consignment Day. The day was founded to raise awareness for sustainability in fashion and to drive shoppers to participate in the circular economy. Fashion is one of the top polluting industries, contributing 10 percent of the world’s total carbon footprint. Clothing production has approximately doubled in the last 15 years to 80 billion garments per year. A garbage truck’s worth of textiles is landfilled or burned every second, even though 95 percent of trashed clothes could be re-worn, recycled, or reused.
