After stepping in to help a buyer get refunded for a counterfeit Chanel bag (she has not been refunded), I woke up to a flood of threatening emails and voice messages. In this episode, I share how quickly things escalated and what it reveals about the scammer in luxury resale which should not be a surprise to anyone who has had any sort of interactions with him.

In this episode of Closet Full of Cash, we sit down with Rachana Lingutla, founder of LuxJardin, to discuss how her platform is changing the way consumers and resellers discover rare, authenticated vintage luxury. By indexing inventory from vetted independent boutiques across the U.S., LuxJardin is helping bring hidden luxury inventory online while supporting the independent boutiques behind it. In this episode, we discuss Rachana’s background, how she got started in luxury resale, how LuxJardin is helping resellers grow and gain visibility, and what the future of luxury resale looks like for independent sellers.
