From there, you will liaise directly with our friendly and professional team, who will invite you into the boutique for a consultation and a look at the handbag you\u2019re hoping to sell. You will be asked to send images to our company WhatsApp where you will discuss the condition of the item, year, what it comes with and how much you were hoping to achieve.\u00a0 Once a deal has been brokered that suits both you and our buying team we will book you in for an appointment in our luxury boutique in Knightsbridge London, and if you live too far away to come in personally, you can ship the item to us.\u00a0 All prices are subject to inspection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the bag is in our hands, we will complete our due diligence, checking the serial number against the receipt and giving the bag the once over for condition reporting \u2013 finalising the deal with the adequate paperwork and the all-important payment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Top Tip: Make sure your bag is in the best condition possible<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019d be surprised how underrated this particular piece of advice really is in the second-hand and preloved marketplace \u2013 however, the logo\/designer name alone is not enough to make a profit when selling a designer handbag. In order to get a good price for the sale of your item, the bag needs to be in good if not perfect condition. That means it should come in its original box and dust bag, have all the original accessories, and demonstrate no signs of wear and tear.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all, the better the condition of the bag, the higher the chance that we will buy it and the higher the price that we will buy it for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15755\" src=\"https:\/\/staging-new.loveluxury.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colourful-Handbags.jpg\" alt=\"Colourful Handbags\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging-new.loveluxury.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colourful-Handbags.jpg 724w, https:\/\/staging-new.loveluxury.co.uk\/shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/Colourful-Handbags-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>How does the authentication process work?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undoubtedly the most important part of any sale process is designer handbag authentication, particularly amid the rise of high-level and convincing fakes. The authentication process is the part of every sale which sees our experts follow set procedures to determine and identify the different components of the bag in line with what we know to be classified as authentic by the designer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to handbags, no area of the bag is off limits as we assess everything from the lining to the stitch work, the hardware, the authenticity card or microchip, and the way it stands on a surface without additional support. It is worth understanding that different designer brands have different tells and indicators of authenticity or a fake model, with our team well trained in the unique and individual components of each luxury brand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your bag is deemed authentic by our team, you will receive a letter-headed certificate of authentication which, even if you don\u2019t sell your luxury handbag to us immediately, will make selling your designer handbag in the future much easier. This comes at a small fee should you decide not to sell to us at that time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What other services does Love Luxury provide?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, we don\u2019t just <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/staging-new.loveluxury.co.uk\/shop\/handbags\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">buy luxury handbags<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 we sell them too, alongside a range of designer and luxury accessories including watches and jewellery from some of the most iconic and world-famous designers out there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to selling goods, we offer our authentication and valuation service to any customer who owns or is looking to sell their luxury goods \u2013 working to make the luxury goods industry a more reliable and reputable industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can I buy a bag while I am at the boutique?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, all of the bags that you see when you visit our boutique are available to buy \u2013 you simply need to enquire with a member of our team.
