Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Mulberry, Radley, Gucci, Prada, Burberry, Coach, and other designer brands. Every bag authenticated, condition-assessed, and valued individually with current market comparisons.
Designer bags found during house clearances or inherited from family members are frequently sold at charity shop prices because nobody has checked the brand, model, or current resale value. A single authenticated bag can be worth hundreds — or thousands. Free insured postage. Written valuation with authentication. Paid in 72 hours.
Brand and model come first. A Chanel Classic Flap is inherently more valuable on the resale market than a Coach crossbody — but within each brand, specific models are far more sought after than others. We know which models command premiums and which do not.
Condition is assessed rigorously: the exterior leather or canvas (scratches, scuffs, corner wear, colour transfer), the lining (stains, pen marks, peeling), hardware (tarnish, scratches, functionality of clasps and zips), and the handles or straps (darkening, cracking, stretching).
Accessories and packaging add measurable value. The original dust bag, authenticity card, receipt, care booklet, spare strap, padlock, and box all contribute. A Mulberry Bayswater with original dust bag and tags is worth 15–25% more than one without.
Authentication is non-negotiable. We check every bag — hardware engravings, stitching patterns, serial numbers, date codes, leather grain, lining material, and brand-specific markers. If we cannot verify authenticity, we do not buy.

A Mulberry Bayswater in excellent condition is typically £200–£500. A Radley in current style with tags retains 30–50%. We assess each bag with current market comparisons.
Yes — every bag is checked for authenticity as part of the valuation. We examine hardware, stitching, serial numbers, date codes, leather quality, and brand-specific markers. If we cannot verify authenticity, we tell you clearly rather than make an offer.
Hermes Birkin and Kelly bags hold best and often appreciate. Chanel Classic Flap retains 60–80%. Louis Vuitton monogram canvas retains well. Mulberry and Radley hold moderate value in good condition. Each model within a brand performs differently.
A gentle wipe with a dry soft cloth is fine, but do not use leather cleaners or household products. Incorrect cleaning can damage the finish or hardware. We assess bags in received condition — surface dust does not affect our offer.
