Among the items reported stolen by the suspected robbers were Hermes handbags and jewelry.
Rebag’s website lists a Hermes Birkin bag worth $27,000, which is comparable in price to the bag stolen during Monday’s robbery.
Investigators said the two thieves stole $225,000 worth of goods from the luxury resale sector.
Police are looking for the suspects, both believed to be men in their forties, approximately 6 feet tall, who were wearing dark-colored clothing at the time of the robbery.
They were last seen near Fresh Pond Road and 60th Road in Queens.
Rebag has still not been reopened to the public as of Friday morning, as the search for the suspected robbers continues.
This isn’t the first time Rebag has been targeted by thieves; the luxury retailer suffered a similar incident in May 2022.
A group of five thieves walked into the SoHo store during business hours and smashed through glass display cases with a hammer before making off with the stolen food.
The crew managed to flee with $24,700 worth of designer handbags.

Police managed to track down one of the alleged robbers, 25-year-old Ricardo Forde, who was arrested and charged with charges including theft, grand theft, assault and reckless driving.
Rebag’s Arcadia location in Los Angeles was targeted last December after a group of four men burst into the store and similarly used hammers to smash through display cases.
Looters managed to grab more than $375,000 worth of designer wallets from the NYC Rebag store in 2020.

Rebag is known for reselling luxury and designer bags that have been inspected and certified by experts.
The company also sells watches, jewelry, shoes and clothing.
It’s unclear how the store plans to reimburse vendors who stole the bags during the heist, or whether the company’s insurance will cover the losses.
