Luxe Life Auctions, an online auction house for new and vintage luxury items, celebrated its launch Nov. 11.

When asked by Windy City Times about starting such a site with the current state of the economy, Luxe Life Auctions President Lisa Ackerman said that people will respond because shoppers want to “think smartly.” According to a statement from Ackerman, “all auction items are professinally evaluated, researched and authenticated by a team of Expert Industry Partners.”

Among the event’s attendees was Matt Lorenz, winner of the first season of Bravo’s Top Design. Lorenz designed the center, which includes a bathroom adorned with images of movie icons such as Marilyn Monroe.

The event took place at the Luxe Life valuation center, 744 N. Clark.
