Consign your Designer Bags & Designer Purses to us.

If you've tried to sell designer bags through traditional channels, you already know the frustration. Listing on eBay or peer-to-peer marketplaces means handling authentication yourself, fielding skeptical buyers, and risking returns. Luxury items often spend more time in closets than being used-and when you finally decide to part with one, the process shouldn't feel like a second job.

We taken great pride in the curation of our individually-sourced pre-owned designer handbags, and can put your high end items in front of global buyers who understand the value of what you own. We want to help you give your vintage designer purse or bag a new life AND give you a stress-free way to sell your vintage treasures for what they're worth. No lowball eBay offers, no frustrating issues around international shipping. We streamline it all for you so you can sell with confidence and buyers can purchase with certainty.

Why Choose Vintimié: Luxury Experts

Here's what makes selling through Vintimié fundamentally different from listing on a generic site or dropping your bag at another consignment shop:

Verification of authenticity enhances buyer confidence, which translates directly into higher prices for you. Buyers know they can trust what they're purchasing.
• —We Attract Serious Buyers – Unlike open marketplaces flooded with fast fashion and casual browsers, our website draws collectors, fashion enthusiasts, and high-end shoppers willing to pay premium prices for authenticated luxury.
• —Global Shipping & Reach – We have clients all over the world - your buyer might be in London, New York, Tokyo, or Dubai. Global delivery can be complicated, but we handle this for you.
• —Social Media Presence – If you didn't know already, we're BIG on socials. We will feature your consignment pieces on our social media so it reaches our global audience.

How It Works: Giving Your Piece a Second Life

The process is super easy and designed to respect your time. No expertise required.

Step 1: Submit Your Designer Purse

Start by completing a simple online form with photos and details about your bag-brand, model, condition, any accessories like dust bags, original receipt, or authenticity cards. Include shots from multiple angles in natural light: front, back, base, interior, hardware close-ups, and any signs of wear. High-quality photos are crucial for listing designer handbags effectively.

You'll receive a free initial assessment within 48 hours - either via email or WhatsApp. There's no obligation to proceed after evaluation-it's completely risk-free to explore what your piece is worth.

Step 2: Professional Authentication & Listing

Once you send your bag in (we provide a shipping label), our luxury experts get to work. The authentication process covers every detail-from Louis Vuitton date codes and monogram alignment to Chanel quilting stitch counts and hardware engravings. We also verify provenance and completeness. Original packaging and authenticity proof increase buyer trust and sales value significantly.

After authentication, our team handles professional photography highlighting your bag in its best light and writes compelling product descriptions. Strategic pricing is set based on market analysis-collecting recent market prices from resale sites, comparable sold listings, and current demand trends. Expert insights help sellers make informed pricing decisions rather than guessing.

Step 3: Secure Sale & Fast Payment

Your item goes live! If you choose our direct purchase service, we will issue you your funds within 48 hours of listing your item onto our website. If you choose our consignment service, we will issue you your payment, less our 20-30% commission, once your item has sold and our legal 14 day return window has passed. No guesswork, no chasing buyers, no drawn-out negotiations. Just structured progress from submission to being paid.

Consignment Shops: Who is it for?

Vintimié consignment is ideal for:

• —Owners of Authentic Designer Bags – If you have pieces from brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Gucci, or Dior, our platform is built for items of this caliber.
• —Collectors Looking to Trade Up – Ready to refresh your collection? Sell current pieces and connect with new ones.
• —Fashion Enthusiasts Parting with Pieces – That bag that no longer matches your style still holds significant value. Selling pre-loved items promotes a more conscious approach to fashion, giving your piece a second life with someone who'll truly appreciate it.
• —Anyone Seeking Maximum Value for Rare or Limited Edition Bags – Discontinued models, archival pieces from specific creative director eras, and limited runs are our specialty.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you determine my purse's value?

Our pricing team evaluates multiple factors: brand prestige, specific model, year of production, size, material, hardware finish, condition, completeness (dust bag, box, receipt, authenticity cards, straps, keys), rarity or discontinuation status, and current average market demand. We also analyse comparable recent sales across major resale platforms-including StockX, which shows last sale prices for luxury bags-to ensure your price reflects real-world demand, not guesswork. Condition categories for handbags include pristine, excellent, very good, good, and fair, and each tier directly affects resale value and marketability.

What if my purse doesn't meet your standards?

If your item doesn't qualify for our marketplace-due to structural damage, significant odor, missing essential components, or authenticity concerns-we'll let you know honestly and promptly. Items that don't pass are returned to you at no cost. We maintain high standards because our buyers trust us to deliver only authenticated, accurately described luxury goods.

How long does the selling process take?

The timeline breaks down as follows: submit your details via our online form and receive a free evaluation within 48 hours. Once you ship your bag (we provide a shipping label), authentication typically takes 1-3 business days. After listing, the time to sale varies by brand. Payment is processed within 48 hours after our 14-day return period is complete. If you choose our direct purchase service, we will issue you your funds within 48 hours of listing your item onto our website.

Do you accept purses with signs of wear?

Yes. We accept bags across a range of condition grades, from pristine to fair. However, condition issues like wear, stains, and odors significantly decrease resale value, so it's important to be upfront about any flaws. Maintaining the original accessories positively affects resale values, so include everything you have. Our team will grade your bag transparently and set a price that reflects its true condition.
