Like most women, I was tired of online shopping feeling like a guessing game. Colors that looked nothing like the photos, inconsistent sizing, fit that seemed totally random —honestly, it was annoying and time consuming. So I created Unvarnished Clothing as a photo review platform where women could actually see what they're buying.

But here's where it gets interesting: if we're already reviewing these contemporary and luxury brands, why not help people resell them too? While other platforms became cluttered marketplaces and luxury resale sites nickel-and-dimed sellers with terrible payouts, we built something simpler—a platform where buyers get reasonable prices on quality pieces while sellers actually make decent money. Shopping should be fun, not frustrating.
