According to The RealReal shopping experts, the search bar on the company's website can help you out so much more than you may think. And it's all about being strategic with what you search for and the keywords and filters you use. Michelle Scanga, managing editor at WhoWhatWear, who revealed she does almost all her vintage shopping on The RealReal, notes that the search is her secret weapon. "First I start by narrowing down by designer plus the item, so let's say I'm looking for a new pair of shoes: I'd search 'Gucci heels,' of course," she told WhoWhatWear. It can also be useful adding in the year the product was designed.
If you're not looking for anything specific, but instead want to find some hidden gems, try searching "limited edition" or "limited release." In terms of the filter, simply filter down to your size to avoid wasting time. "The second thing I do is filter by just my size so that I'm not clicking through several pages of inventory just to find the pairs in my size," said Scanga. It may also be worth adding the size below or above your size, as fits can be different for different brands.
