As someone who's main side hobby is thrifting (both buying and selling), I really don't see any issue with the rich and famous putting their secondhand goods back on the market. It's better than them tossing them or having them just sit in storage. And it is certainly not just the Kardashian's who are in on the trend of reselling their goods. Jessica Chastain, for example, just had a collab with Vestiaire Collective to resell items she wore on the red carpet. The collab was highly successful and didn't seem to produce any backlash. That being said, the VC-Jessica collab was to raise money for charity, and it appears that all the items were in near mint condition. Perhaps what feels off about the Kardashian Kloset (on top of the general stupidity of the name) is not that they are reselling used goods, it is that not even a percent of the returns are being donated to a good cause, which is the course most celebrities take. Whoever is running Kardashian PR missed the ball on that one. Finally, I just want to point out that there are some genuine vintage gems on the site. The vintage silk Christian Lacroix gown in purple from the 1980s is goregous and if I had 3.5 thousand to blow and a red carpet to attend, I would scoop that baby up so fast.
It’s this line for me “These pieces have been hand-selected by each family member and are available exclusively for the public to purchase.” How is it both exclusive and public?? 🤔
Re: Kardashian's Kloset (yuck) - there's a sucker born every minute! This is *not* about sustainability, unless you count the ways it contributes to the sustainability of their fortunes. Just. Don't.
One of the commenters mentioned that some of the Kloset proceeds go to a charity run by Kris/started by Kris. So… does Kris need a larger tax deduction this year?
My thought and question is, have the resale site sure, but why not donate all the proceeds to charity? It seems like such an obvious course of action to take…

I don’t think this Birkin is particularly nice, maybe it is not the real thing. Anything is possible these days!
Ooh I would watch that musical! I’d also like them to bring back the Legally Blonde musical!
