Reselling a luxury bag through an online consignment store

You have a luxury bag that you wear less, or not at all.
Instead of letting it sit in your closet, you can turn it into cash for a new piece.
The problem: selling it yourself is time-consuming, sometimes stressful, and not always very secure.
Online consignment is a good alternative if you want to delegate without selling short.

Sell by yourself or use a consignment store?

Selling by yourself on general platforms means:

taking photos, writing the ad,
responding to messages, negotiating,
checking profiles, avoiding scams,
managing shipments and potential returns.

A specialized luxury online consignment store takes care of this for you, for a commission.
You save time, gain peace of mind, and build credibility with buyers.

Preparing your bag for a successful resale

A well-prepared bag simply sells better.

Before entrusting it:

empty it completely and gently clean the interior,
dust the exterior, possibly with a suitable product if you are used to it,
gather anything that can provide reassurance (dustbag, invoice, authenticity card, box).

The cleaner and more complete your bag arrives, the easier it will be to photograph, showcase, and the more confident the buyer will be.

How the consignment store at Le Vestiaire Authentique works

Le Vestiaire Authentique operates simply, in several steps:

Valuation request
You send photos and some information (brand, model, condition, accessories) via the form or by email.

Price proposal
You receive an estimate based on the condition of your bag, the second-hand market, and the demand for that model.

Secure shipping
If you accept, you send your bag via tracked and secure shipping.

Inspection & authentication
The bag is examined, authenticated, and its condition is checked in detail.

Photoshoot & listing
It is photographed, described, then listed in the store, with appropriate highlighting.

Sale & payment
Once sold and the legal period has passed, you receive your share of the selling price according to the commission schedule.

You don't have to manage exchanges with buyers or logistics.

Understanding the commission (and taking advantage of the launch offer)

In consignment, the store takes a commission on the selling price to cover selection, authentication, photos, listing, storage, and customer service.

Le Vestiaire Authentique applies a tiered commission structure, but offers a very attractive launch offer :

Only 10% commission on one item per person during the first year of the site.

For this first bag sold via Le Vestiaire Authentique, you therefore keep 90% of the selling price.
It's a way to try out luxury consignment in the best possible conditions.
