“This is one of the first and best resale stores in Russia, with an excellent selection of women’s clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories. In Buy By Me you can find the Chanel 2.55 bag or the most-wanted pair of Balenciaga boots for a good price, and they’re always in perfect condition. The most convenient thing is that you can shop in the showroom or an online store, where you can order and try on the pieces at home.”
