Selling FAQs
How much will you pay for my designer handbag?
It depends on the brand, model, size, colour, hardware, condition and whether you have the box, dust bag and receipt. Hermès Birkin and Kelly, Chanel Classic Flaps and limited editions usually receive the strongest offers. Send us photos and we will reply with a written offer within one working day.
Which designer bags do you buy?
We buy pre-owned Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Goyard, Celine, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Loewe, Prada, Fendi and Gucci handbags, plus small leather goods and selected vintage pieces.
How quickly do I get paid?
When you sell outright, we pay by bank transfer as soon as your bag passes authentication. Consignment payouts are made within 7 days of the sale.
Do I need the original receipt or box?
No. A full set increases the offer, but we buy authentic bags without packaging. Proof of purchase helps but is not required.
How do I send my bag to you?
Everything is done by post. We arrange an insured courier collection from your home or send you a prepaid, insured and tracked label, anywhere in the UK.
Is it better to sell outright or consign?
Selling outright is the fastest option and the price is fixed. Consignment usually earns you more because we sell your bag at full resale value, but you are paid once it sells. Use the calculator above to compare.
Do you buy worn or damaged bags?
Yes. We buy bags in every condition, including pieces that need restoration. We explain any work needed and adjust the offer honestly.
Do you buy whole collections?
Yes. We buy wardrobes, collections and estates. Send us a list or photos and we will value everything together and arrange insured collection.
Sell your designer bag anywhere in the UK
Second Season buys authentic pre-owned designer handbags from private clients across the United Kingdom. Whether you want to sell a Chanel bag you no longer carry, sell a Louis Vuitton Neverfull, or sell a Hermès Birkin or Kelly for the best price, our specialists give you a clear written offer, arrange insured collection and pay you quickly.
Every offer is based on current resale values for your exact model, size, colour, leather, hardware and condition. If you are not ready to sell outright, consignment lets you earn more by selling to our clients, and part exchange lets you trade up to a piece from our collection.
