The Luxury Resale Industry
The luxury resale industry is in a category of its own due to the high price tags of the items you're selling.
Because of this it cannot be treated like thrifting or selling low to mid range designers. Luxury needs to be treated different and if you are ready for the hard work, we're going to support and guide you through every step in building your own luxury resale business.
Education is the first step and continuing to learn allows you to set yourself apart from your competitors. We understand that and are creating courses to allow you to learn from people you can trust at your own speed in your own time.
From the first course, How to Launch a Luxury Resale Business which give you the basic understanding on how to set a solid, legal foundation for your new business to authentication courses, Closet Full of Cash is the online destination to learn everything you'll need to know about Luxury Resale and building a business you're passionate about.
Why I created these courses
Education is the most important thing and this is why I created these courses, to help you gain a better understanding of the luxury resale industry and the brands.
The resale market is booming and if you are going to be a part of it you need to have a basic understanding on how to authenticate the brands you will be selling. I've created six volumes (courses) of educational material from brands like Balenciaga to Faure Le Page which will include:
- Five luxury brands in each course
- Short history of each brand
- Materials Used
- Hardware
- Fonts
- Heat Stamps
- Date Codes and Serial Numbers
- Top selling styles
- Authentication Tips
My goal is to give you a better understanding as to what to look out for when shopping the resale market and appreciate the history of the brands we all know and love.

Hi, I’m Deanna
I've been in the luxury resale industry for 15 years and have owned two luxury resale companies. I was the first in creating authentication courses online and in person and have published 13 authentication books.
I’ve spoken nationally on how to get into this industry, authentication and my passion runs deep for luxury resale. I created this platform in 2021 under the name Marque Mentor which went bust in early 2023. I have been sitting here wanting to relaunch but the timing wasn’t right until now.
This industry has grown but there is still a key piece missing, education. This is my driver, my passion and with my years of experience in all facets of business , I am going to share everything with you. From authentication for luxury and contemporary branded handbags to how to launch your own luxury resale business, I want to see you succeed and build the business you’ve been dreaming of.
I am always here if you have any questions, please email me at: [email protected]
