The first of its kind, industry professionals are creating educational courses dedicated to the luxury resale industry to help you build, launch grow and learn about an industry that is slated to grow to $64 BILLION dollars by 2024.
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 you 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 the courses we have planned for 2021, Marque Mentor School is the online destination to learn everything you'll need to know about Luxury Resale and building a business you're passionate about.
Our Courses
Education is the biggest proponent of the Marque Mentor School and this is why we create the courses we do, 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 of each brand you will be selling. We’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
Our 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.
Date Codes and
Serial Numbers
Understanding how to read a serial number or date code is just one component in determining authenticity and each volume, we break it down brand by brand to learn how to read each one and determine if it makes sense.
Materials and Hardware
In each volume, you will learn the names of materials used from each brand along with hardware and zippers. This is key when learning how to tell the difference between counterfeit and authentic.
History and Style Names
Included in each volume, a short history of each brand along with the most coveted styles (images and names) will give you a better understanding of

Hi, I’m Deanna
Over $1,500 is what I lost when I was building my first luxury resale business. This cost was just for the website and the guy I hired ended up ghosting me, leading me to do everything myself.
I was so mad that from that point I decided that was how I would do everything: by myself, for myself. From building a website to figuring out the best way to ship, insurance, handling money and taxes to marketing, I would never have to wait or pay someone for something I was fully able to do myself.
I have always felt that having control of your own business is just one of the keys to your success and by learning how to do all of these things, you can guarantee they are done the way you want and when you want. Since I know this works, I wanted to teach others how to start so they wouldn't make the same mistakes I did in the beginning, thus prompting the creation of the Marque Mentor School.
Myself, along with the Industry Professionals that we have partnered with, have created courses to teach and guide you as you follow your passion in launching your own luxury resale business.
