Luxury shopping online

Thread asked online luxury shopping site Reebonz to shed some light on burning questions such as why it is so cheap, is it fake, and how can we find a Hermes Birkin or Louis Vuitton Speedy…

The Reebonz (pronounced ‘ribbons’) concept was founded in March 2009 and involves short-duration, online private sales events, which are exclusively open to members. The events last typically between 2 to 3 days – once ended, it is gone for good.

Reebonz product is branded lifestyle at affordable prices with both women’s and men’s brands available. They have these short term sales online, and offer members huge discounts of up to 70% off luxury brands including Prada, Miu Miu, Chloe, Gucci, Givenchy as well as hard to find brands like Celine, Balenciaga and Proenza Schouler.

Still wondering how to be sure the items on sale are authentic? Thread caught up with Reebonz Australia and New Zealand PR and Marketing Executive, Christina Roys to shed some light on those burning questions.

Are the items sold on Reebonz authentic?
Reebonz: Yes, all items sold on Reebonz are 100% authentic. We work directly with brands and authorised distributors to ensure that all items are genuine. Reebonz has been operating for four years without a single incident related to authenticity.

How can Reebonz offer its products at discounted rates?
Reebonz: Because we are exclusively online, we incur fewer overheads than a physical retail store and therefore can pass on our savings to our customers.

Where do you source your stock from?
Reebonz: We have buyers based in Europe and the US that source directly from authorised distributors.

Are the products new or secondhand?
Reebonz: All the products on sale at Reebonz.com are brand new. We now offer Reebonz OUTLET with items further discounted due to minor defects or old stock that need to be cleared. If you are after secondhand, hard-to-find designer items such as the Hermes Birkin or Louis Vuitton Speedy, Reebonz Vintage (www.reebonzvintage.com) is the place to go.

What are the benefits of shopping with Reebonz over other designer websites?
