Pre-owned Designer Handbags

What condition are your preowned designer handbags in? 

Our preloved designer handbags are all in excellent or near-perfect condition. We only buy slightly used designer handbags that meet our high condition standards, and every listing clearly explains the condition of the individual bag, including any signs of wear. 

How do you authenticate preowned designer handbags? 

Every handbag is inspected by our specialists and independently verified by a third-party authentication service before sale. Checks consider its materials, stitching, hardware, serial number and accompanying paperwork where relevant. We guarantee the authenticity of each of our preloved handbags and provide a Legit Grails Authenticity Certificate with each bag.

Buying preowned handbags is a great way to find designer handbags that are discontinued or vintage models. You can shop our selection online or visit us instore. 

How much does a preowned designer handbag cost? 

Prices can range depending on the brand, model, material, age, rarity, condition and included accessories. Preowned bags are often more affordable than buying brand new, allowing you to purchase the same quality at a more affordable price. You may find a Louis Vuitton Speedy preloved for £1,000 and a Chanel flap bag for £5,000. 

Are designer handbags worth it? 

They can be. A well-chosen 2nd hand handbag can offer strong craftsmanship, a sought-after design, better value than buying new, and retain their value making them a good handbag investment. The best purchase is one you will enjoy at a price that feels right for its condition.  

Which luxury handbags have the best resale value? 

Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags and Chanel Classic Flap styles are among the strongest performers. Selected Louis Vuitton classics can also retain value well, but condition, colour, size, rarity and current demand all matter. 

Can I trade in or part exchange a designer handbag? 

Yes, you can part exchange your preowned designer handbag with us for another handbag you are interested in, or even for a preloved watch or jewellery piece. A designer handbag part exchange can be a straightforward way to upgrade your items or change style. 

Where can I sell my designer bag for cash? 

You can sell your designer handbag to us online or at one of our London showrooms. We offer both direct sale and consignment options. A direct sale gives you an agreed cash value once the bag has been inspected and authenticated, while consignment means we sell the handbag on your behalf, which may achieve a higher return.
