One of the hotter names of the gorgeous resale is focusing on North Texas on its standalone site.
The California-based fashion file is the place to buy and sell fashion’s top names, and puts Dallas on its list of “projected 2025 locations,” it said in a recent statement. Retailers have not revealed the exact location.
The company, which previously had a pop-up shop in Plano, is located at Neiman Marcus, the North Park Center in Dallas, where it offers services such as item pickup and drop-off. “We are pleased to announce that we are committed to providing support for our clients and new market development,” said Angela Dotson, Senior Vice President of Clients and New Market Development.
“This experience has strengthened my commitment to the city and I am excited to take the next step by investing in standalone locations,” Dotson said in an emailed statement. “Dallas has a strong and ever-evolving fashion scene that we look forward to deepening our presence and continuing to serve local shoppers and sellers.”

Fashion File, which rose 67% in 2024, is attracting attention as it benefits from consumer demand for second-hand items such as handbags and sunglasses. Other resellers of luxury items include Vestiaire Collective and The RealReal, and local stores in Dallas are also available.
According to a Bain report, the second-hand goods market expanded to an estimated $50 billion in 2024, with sales rising 7%.
Part of the industry is “increasingly becoming a gateway to luxury for ambitious consumers who can’t afford new luxury items,” the report says.
At the North Park Centre site of department store stores, Fashion Files’ “Sales Studios” includes services such as picking up online orders, selling items, and losing items estimated online. Shoppers can also unload qualified returns.
Fashionphile unveiled its New York store in 2022 and has increased its physical expansion under a new strategy that began more than a year ago. The site was opened in two Southern California cities, Irvine and Carlsbad, and other initiatives included long-term pop-ups in Austin.
San Francisco, Atlanta and Philadelphia are among the other places scheduled for 2025.
