High-visibility leopard print; recognizable costume brand; Adult Large is a common, easy-to-sell size; perfect for themed parties or Halloween.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence; includes full manufacturer details, RN# 60833, and specific item number #00832 which matches California Costumes' inventory.
Flaws to Note
Hand/Spot clean only (cannot be machine washed); tag shows the item was originally part of a set (Jacket/Pants/Scarf), so this is an incomplete set if you only have the robe.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (broadest reach for costumes), Facebook Marketplace (local pickup to avoid shipping on a low-value item), or Mercari (popular for secondhand clothing/costumes).
Selling Tips
Best sold in September or October. Use keywords like 'Pimp Costume', '1970s Party', 'Tiger King', or 'Leopard Robe'. Because it's an incomplete set (missing pants/scarf), price it lower and suggest buyers pair it with their own black slacks.
