Pre-Loved Podcast with Emily Stochl
On today's show, we're chatting with Marissa, the Head of Designer Handbags & Fashion in the U.S. at Bonhams Auction House. If you've listened to the episode we did with Bonham's UK-based counterpart, Meg Randell, Bonhams is building on its success in offering handbags & fashion by introducing the category to the US market.
Marissa bring twenty-years experience to this position, previously she worked at Resurrection Vintage, where she learned to source, date, and place exquisite antique and couture pieces with the world's most renowned fashion houses, museums, stylists.
Then, she worked at the world's largest consignment company, The RealReal, where she specialized in authentication and valuation and had a 0% authenticity error rate.
What happens when a Dior newspaper dress (yes, THAT Sex and the City dress) goes from an $800 estimate to selling for $23,000? Or when a 90-year-old yacht mechanic decides it's time to auction Jackie Kennedy's wedding dress he's kept wrapped in tissue paper since the 1960s?
On this episode we talk about all this & more – the absolute treasures that fall under Marissa's specialty for auctions at Bonhams – let's dive right in!
