Jenna Lyons Is Consigning Her Heels and Handbag Collections With eBay
Jenna Lyons is bringing her renowned wardrobe a second life, thanks to a new partnership with eBay. In a new initiative with the platform’s Luxe Line consignment concierge, the CEO and “Real Housewives of New York City” star will be auctioning an array of pieces from her closet to benefit Doctors Without Borders.
“My closet is bursting with the collection of handbags I’ve amassed over the past 20 years, and eBay’s consignment service has made it easy to give these bags new life in someone else’s collection,” Lyons said in a brand statement. “eBay’s Luxe Line will feature some special finds from over the years, including a red Celine Luggage Tote. My very first Phoebe Philo purchase, the bag was well loved and now she’s ready for her next chapter!”

Among the highlights from Lyons’ collection are a variety of sleek heels, including Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, Chloe Gosselin booties and a set of neon pumps from Manolo Blahnik’s viral collaboration with J.Crew. The mogul has also shared a sample of chic and colorful handbags from Celine, Prada, Louis Vuitton and more top labels, as well as an assortment of clothing she’s also worn across red carpets and front rows over the years — similarly hailing from labels like Thom Browne, Gucci and Tory Sport.
All of the listed pieces are also worn by Lyons herself in eBay’s accompanying campaign, shot by girlfriend Cass Bird in her expansive walk-in closet.
Lyons’ involvement with eBay is aligned with the launch of the platform’s aforementioned consignment service, which will be displayed at its Luxe Line bus — where customers can sell their luxury accessories, as well as shop for new pieces, in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. During the process, customers can bring items to be appraised for its eBay listed price, which will then be listed on the platform; these sellers will receive their earnings when the pieces are sold.
However, accepted pieces do have to hail from a specific list of luxury designers — including Alexander McQueen, Chanel and The Row — which can be found, along with Lyons’ storefront, on eBay’s website.
eBay’s Luxe Line bus will travel to Los Angeles on Dec. 13 and 14, with stops in Oakwood, Santa Monica, Tri-West and Larchmont Village — all near viral sites, including Erewhon and the Paul Smith Pink Wall. On Dec. 16, the bus will visit Las Vegas in Downtown Summerlin. Times and locations can be found on eBay’s website.
