These women sold thousands worth of designer clothing to a Vogue-backed NYC consignment shop — and say they never got paid or saw them again

Before deciding to sell her designer clothes, Monica Suk had barely heard of Dora Maar.
Now, she wishes she never had — after the trendy NYC-based online luxury consignment shop went out of business, leaving her high and dry.
The company and its founder and chief executive, Lauren Taylor Wilson, were once splashed across the pages of Vogue, Marie Claire, Women’s Wear Daily, Forbes and The Wall Street Journal.
Lilah Ramzi, an editor and fashion historian, and the style blogger Leandra Medine Cohen also helped promote the project, giving it additional heft — Rodarte and Markarian, who dressed Jill Biden for the 2021 inauguration, even teamed up with the trendy site to resell inventory.
“It looked legit, and it was cool,” Suk, a 36-year-old tech professional in Hong Kong, told The Post.
Wilson, 35, brought major cred to the project, having previously held impressive positions at luxury platform Moda Operandi and in marketing at Christie’s and Gucci before starting Dora Maar in 2019 to sell high-end fashion through community and storytelling and establish a provenance for each piece of clothing.
