Montreal’s OwnTheCouture.com Makes Luxury Affordable

Rejoice fashionistas, shop-a-holics, designer addicts, and well, all of you that don’t want to give up an entire month’s paycheque for a single piece of pure luxe.

Now there’s a new online shopping destination tailored just for you and it’s set to bring the online experience to a whole new level. How you ask? By offering exclusive access to pre-owned, authenticated luxury designer fashions and accessories priced up to 90 per cent off the original retail price.

No, we’re not lying.

The member-only, online premium consignment retailer offers the opportunity to buy and sell designer clothing and accessories. OTC offers a notable selection of authenticated luxury women’s fashions, outerwear, accessories, and shoes from timeless brands including Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Christian Dior, and Louis Vuitton, as well as contemporary labels like Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and Diane von Furstenberg.

“People are consuming more than ever, their closets are full and they sometimes only wear their designer goods once or twice,” said Caroline Reny, CEO and founder of OwnTheCouture.com.

“I believe that high-quality designer fashions are made to last and deserve a second chance. Consignment shopping is a form of recycling that provides access to high fashion while opening up a new world to those interested in luxury brands, but who may not be able to afford it at regular cost.”

Based out of Montreal, OTC offers a high-end online experience with carefully selected inventory that’s in line with current trends. All items go through a rigorous legitimacy process, where each piece is carefully inspected to assess its quality, condition, and authenticity before it’s listed on the website.

No fake LV’s around these parts. No, sir.

Each piece that’s available for sale at OTC is accompanied by a clear description of its exact condition, along with detailed measurements and size charts.

And here’s the extra special part.

Tips on how to wear, match, and accessorize each garment are also included on the site, offering a service you would expect from a traditional high-end retail location but from the comfort of your bed, or desk, or where ever your little high-end-fashion-heart desires.

So get that Nespresso brewing and your browser open, it’s time to update your fall closet without having to skip out on your rent.
