Kardashian Kloset launched in October 2019 as a way for the famous reality show dynasty to turn a profit on their massive designer collections.
It is a ‘luxury resale e-commerce platform that lists pre-owned items from the Kardashian-Jenner’s wardrobes,’ according to a statement from their publicity firm at the time.
The items include clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories from Kris, Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie in a range of sizes and prices.
At the time of its launch, the site pushed their mission for ‘sustainability’: ‘Our goal at Kardashian Kloset is to share a part of the Kardashian Jenner family lifestyle by offering you the opportunity to own one of a kind items, while promoting sustainability.’
Moving on: As of Monday, the dress was no longer listed on Kardashian Kloset, a site where the five sisters and their momager re-sell their designer duds for a profit
