THE FASHION LAW EXCLUSIVE — The RealReal has built a business by making claims about the authenticity of its products that it cannot back up. That is one of the central claims in the scathing lawsuit that Chanel filed against the popular luxury consignment site in a New York federal court in November.

The fashion house is suing the start-up for allegedly selling fake bags on its site — a claim The RealReal rejects.
