Online menswear reselling community Grailed has announced their Grailed 100 Fall/Winter 2016 sale. The Grailed 100 is a curated sale of Grailed’s archive pieces. Menswear and streetwear pieces by Rick Owens, Raf Simons, Saint Laurent, Undercover, and Supreme will be featured in the sale.

The sale will feature 100 unique pieces of vintage designer clothing, including a 1994 Ralph Lauren knit sweater and a Raf Simons fishtail coat.  The items will be curated by Grailed, and will all be some of the most sought-after pieces in menswear and streetwear. The items are selling via an offer-based system.

Grailed is a community-driven online reselling platform. The website and app allows users to list, sell, and buy new or lightly worn menswear pieces. The name “Grailed” comes from the slang term ‘grail’, meaning the ultimate wardrobe item, usually high-end. Grailed was created in December of 2013 by Arun Gupta to make up for the lack of reselling websites and apps compared to a long list for womenswear. Grailed is the first menswear-centric online marketplace.

Grailed currently has over 200,000 users. While eBay charges a 10% listing fee, Grailed does not charge users a fee to list.
