Sell rare bags at collector prices, not resale-shop prices
Why not a resale platform?
Resale platforms price for velocity: their margin structure and buyer base reward fast, discounted turnover. A quota Birkin in a sought-after combination deserves the opposite — patient, private placement with collectors who know exactly what the piece is. The difference between the two routes is routinely measured in thousands.
What the sale mandate covers
- Authentication — physical examination by specialists, so the piece sells with confidence behind it
- Condition grading — corners, handles, hardware, interior, and odor graded honestly; surprises kill prices
- Brand, model, color, material assessment — what your specific combination commands now, with comparable sales
- Private resale or consignment — direct sale for speed and certainty, consignment for the stronger number
- Seller protection — payment secured before release, insured shipment, and your identity never disclosed without consent
What helps your bag sell well?
Completeness and honesty sell a bag well: the original receipt where available materially strengthens it, as do box, dustbag, raincoat, lock and keys; honest disclosure of wear and spa visits builds buyer trust; and realistic expectations on colour and material matter, because rare is not the same as easily sold.
- Original receipt, where available — it materially strengthens both price and speed
- Box, dustbag, raincoat, lock and keys, and authenticity documentation
- Honest disclosure of wear, repairs, and spa visits — we will find them anyway, and so will the buyer
- Realistic expectations on color and material: rare is not always liquid, and we will tell you which yours is
FAQ
Selling a luxury bag — your questions
How do I sell a Birkin or Kelly privately?
Through private placement to vetted collectors rather than an open marketplace: the bag is authenticated, condition-graded, and offered discreetly to buyers who want that size, leather, and hardware. Your name stays private, and we negotiate on your side — capturing value a consignment platform's fees would erode.
How much can I get for my Hermès bag?
A standard-leather Birkin or Kelly in good condition typically realises low-to-mid five figures; exotics and Himalaya pieces reach six figures. Net proceeds depend on leather, size, hardware, condition, and box and receipt — and on avoiding the 20–50% load some resale platforms take.
Is it better to consign a bag or sell to a reseller outright?
An outright reseller offer is immediate but discounts to their resale margin; private consignment to the right collector usually nets more, with a short wait. We show you both numbers for your piece and run the route that serves you, with the fee disclosed upfront.
What does it cost to sell a luxury bag through you?
Our bag consignment fee is 15–20%, success-based and confirmed in writing — below the 25–50% combined load common on the largest resale platforms. There is no listing fee; we earn only on a successful, private sale, and your identity is never published.
