WHAT YOU CAN BRING

Start with the bag and its story.

SDJB considers luxury handbags from makers including Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada. Tell us what you have, even if the exact model is unknown.

  • Designer handbags, totes and shoulder bags
  • Vintage and more recent pieces, assessed individually
  • Bags with or without their original packaging

Acceptance depends on the particular bag, condition and authentication. A photograph or receipt alone does not establish authenticity.

WHAT SHAPES THE OFFER

The details behind the number.

01

Model and materials

The design, size, material and color help identify the bag and the market for it.

02

Condition

Wear to corners, handles, lining and hardware can affect resale. Describe repairs, odors or alterations as well as visible marks.

03

Authentication

The team checks the bag’s details and discusses any authentication process needed before an offer can be finalized.

04

Accessories and demand

Straps, locks, keys, dust bags and records can help complete the picture. Demand differs between models.

AN ILLUSTRATION, NOT A PRICE ESTIMATE

Similar-looking bags can lead to different offers.

A bag with its original strap and clean lining presents a different resale proposition from the same model with a missing strap and interior damage. A recognizable silhouette by itself is not enough to price or authenticate either bag.

Store details & directions

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

Your questions, answered.

Can I start without a receipt?

Yes. Tell the team what you know. Records can help, but the bag still needs inspection and authentication.

Is handbag authentication always free?

SDJB offers free verbal evaluations for purchase or loan inquiries. Its published policy allows authentication fees for an unidentified or non-authentic result only when disclosed, discussed and agreed before authentication. Ask what applies to your bag before proceeding.

Could I ask about a loan instead?

Yes. SDJB considers eligible designer handbags for collateral loans. An inquiry is not approval; the item would be held under the written agreement and must be redeemed according to its terms.

CONSIDERING ANOTHER OPTION?

Ask about borrowing.

A collateral loan is a separate option for an eligible item. The lender holds it under the agreement; repayment according to the terms is required to recover it.

More than one kind of piece?
