One of the smaller RealReal locations that reflects the Palm Beach lifestyle in an original and artistic way, the company said.
Senior Creative Director Bianca Wendt has incorporated splashes of color such as turquoise, salmon pink and green throughout the store and added a checkerboard floor with sustainable cork tiles.
