Thrifted luxury: Some may consider the term to be an oxymoron, or even an insult to the prestigious world of high-fashion. Others, however, will find it to be the purest form of accessible luxury. Thrifted luxury or secondhand luxury indeed celebrates the modern era’s diversity in fashion: It’s symbolic of the girl next door with an unexpectedly gorgeous pair of vintage Chanel sunglasses, or the exquisite Prada purse that you grab whilst running errands on the weekend.
Warning: This is the *only* thrifted luxury guide you’ll ever need, so peruse this exquisitely comprehensive selection of clothing, accessories, bags, shoes, and jewellery at your own risk. Courtesy of two of the most unique thrifted luxury stores based in Dubai – Reem’s Closet and The Luxury Closet – we’ve handpicked 50 of the finest accessibly luxury pieces in Dubai.
