We’re thrilled to share our partnership with Creative Growth Art Center which began with a memorable evening at our Canal Street Pop-Up in NYC. This collaboration featured 11 upcycled garments and a reimagined Hermes Birkin HAC 50, all crafted by Creative Growth artists using materials donated by The RealReal. Each piece reflects the incredible artistry of Creative Growth’s artists, with 100% of the proceeds supporting their impactful work. Unsold items will be auctioned at Creative Growth’s 50th Anniversary Gala in San Francisco later this month! The event also showcased a full-circle moment as leather artisan Tanner Leatherstein deconstructed counterfeit handbags that have been on display since June. These materials will be given to Creative Growth to reimagine and upcycle. We’re honored to be part of this meaningful project and look forward to sharing more exciting collaborations that highlight our commitment to sustainability. A big thank you to everyone who joined us for this unforgettable evening! Learn more: https://lnkd.in/giwx92_S

Fast fashion is amplifying the climate impacts of the fashion industry. Since 2011, The RealReal has been a solution to fast fashion and a major part of the solution to slow global warming. Committing to buying fewer, better-quality items and consigning them fosters a more sustainable future for both the planet and the industry. That's why we are excited to support the launch of the Congressional Slow Fashion Caucus. Their climate-smart policy priorities—repair, reuse, and recycle—align perfectly with our mission and have proven to reduce fashion’s environmental footprint.

At The RealReal, authenticity is at our core. We believe in a culture where everyone can thrive as their true selves, both at work and beyond. This Pride Month was truly unforgettable, thanks to our incredible Pride Employee Resource Group and teams across our organization who made it happen. From vibrant rainbow "breakroom takeovers'' to engaging activities like drag queen bingo, we came together to celebrate diversity and inclusion. We ended the month by hosting a meaningful dialogue with Caitlin Howe, SVP, Finance led by Pride co-chair, Joe-Benjamin Mauricio. This conversation reflected on the power of pride, the importance of LGBTQIA+ representation in the workplace, and Caitlin’s personal and professional journey to leadership. As proud allies, we teamed up with NBA legend Dwyane Wade to support The Wade Family Foundation and Translatable. Through The RealReal, Wade shared 75 unique pieces from his collection, with proceeds benefiting Translatable—a safe space for LGBTQIA+ youth and their families. Thank you to everyone who helped make this Pride Month so special! Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gk6wDe2v
