The consignment store is a simple concept with a wide variation in execution. The difference between a good and a frustrating experience lies in transparency at each step: how the item is appraised, how long it takes to sell, and how payment is handled.
Step 1 — Submission
You bring your item to the store, or contact us in advance to discuss if it meets our selection criteria. We accept items from major luxury brands — Chanel, Dior, YSL, Hermès, Gucci, Céline, Mugler, Balenciaga, Givenchy, Valentino, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and others — in very good condition or better.
Step 2 — Authentication
We examine the construction and evolution of the label, the casting and engraving of the hardware, the density and sewing technique, the composition and quality of the fabric, the interior finish, and compare it with authenticated reference items.
Step 3 — Valuation
The valuation is based on current market data, condition grade, rarity, and demand. We are direct about what an item can realistically achieve.
Step 4 — Contract
We sign a consignment agreement specifying the agreed selling price, commission structure, duration of the consignment period, and return conditions if the item does not sell.
Step 5 — Listing and Promotion
Your item is photographed, described, and listed for sale in-store and online. We write the product description, handle all customer inquiries, and fully manage the sales process.
Step 6 — Sale and Payment
Once sold, payment is transferred within 7-10 business days. Commission is deducted at the time of payment — there are no upfront fees.
