“Real Housewives of Rhode Island” star Ashley Iaconetti revealed she is selling the clothes fans have seen her wear on the Bravo reality show.
In a post to her Instagram page, the reality TV veteran announced she will be selling her onscreen fashions through the online marketplace Vinted to raise money for charity. The mom two captioned a fashion show with a teaser about her sale.
“I used the Vinted app (Europe’s leading second-hand marketplace) to shop and to sell my loved pieces that deserve to feel new again to someone else,” Iaconetti wrote. “I know, I’m personifying clothes…and now I’m thinking about ‘Toy Story’ and how happy they were to be played with again when they moved in with Bonnie.”
“My plan is put my ‘Real Housewives of Rhode Island’ outfits up for sale on @Vinted as each episode airs,” Iaconetti added.

Ashley Iaconetti Is More Sentimental About Her ‘Bachelor’ Outfits
Iaconetti is just starting out in the Bravoverse, but reality TV fans first met her a decade ago on Chris Soules’ season of ‘The Bachelor.” She also appeared on two seasons of “Bachelor in Paradise,” where she met her future husband, Jared Haibon, as well as ”The Bachelor: Winter Games.”
In her Instagram post, Iaconetti admitted that it would be harder for her to let go of some of her clothing from her “Bachelor” days, noting that she is “sentimentally attached” to some of the outfits from the rose-filled reality dating franchise.
“The outfits I wore during first meetings, kisses, dates, and, of course, cry sessions will be kept forever,” she shared.
Iaconetti’s Vinted bio states: “I’m the hopeless romantic crier/manifester from ‘The Bachelor’ franchise turned ‘Real Housewife of Rhode Island.’ I get far too sentimentally tied to my clothes. When you buy them here, you help me not be a hoarder. I donate the money made from these sales to charity.“
As of April 9, Iaconetti has multiple items listed from her first few episodes of RHORI, including a two-piece Halara outfit she wore on a playdate and a Generation Love white dress.
Ashley Iaconetti Moved to Rhode Island to Support Her Husband’s Business
Iaconetti is not making money from her clothing sale, but she has talked about her family’s finances on RHORI. On the RHORI premiere episode, she revealed she moved to Rhode Island four years ago to support her husband’s dream of opening a family business.
“It’s been almost four years since we opened up Audrey’s Coffee House & lounge,” Iaconetti shared of her family’s Rhode Island coffee bar. “It is the second-rated celebrity-owned restaurant in the United States — Bon Jovi being number one.”
“Now is it a huge money maker? No,” she added. “We thought it would make more money than it is.”
