How selling your bag works

1. Sending the information and photos

Submit a valuation request including:

• Brand and model (e.g. Chanel Classic Flap, Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM, Hermès Birkin 30, etc.);
• Material and color;
• Approximate year of purchase;
• Accessories (dust bag, card, receipt, box, etc.);
• Clear photos of the bag (front, back, sides, interior, corners, handles, base, any defects, serial number or hologram, if present).

You can send this information by email to info@aurealuxurylab.com. Alternatively, if indicated on the website, you can use any dedicated forms or contact us through our social media channels.

2. Initial indicative valuation

After reviewing the photos and information received, we’ll send you an indicative valuation based on:

• Condition;
• Market demand for that brand and model;
• Complete or partial accessories;
• Price trends in the pre-owned segment.

This is a preliminary estimate, subject to confirmation after the physical inspection and laboratory authentication.

3. Shipping the bag to Aurea Luxury Lab

If you accept the indicative estimate, we will email you instructions and the address for shipping the bag.

We recommend using a reliable courier, with tracked shipping and suitable packaging. Depending on the arrangements and current policies, we may provide guidance on the safest shipping methods.

4. Authentication, quality control, and final offer

Once we receive the bag:

• It is authenticated by our laboratory, including with AI technology where possible;
• The item's actual condition and consistency with the information provided are checked;
• We will communicate the final offer to you, which may match or differ from the initial estimate depending on the physical inspection.

5. Payment

If you accept the final offer, we will proceed with payment using the agreed method (for example, bank transfer or other available options).

In some cases, you may be able to request payment in the form of credit to use on our e-commerce site. If interested, you can request this during negotiations, where permitted under our terms.

Authenticity of items sold to Aurea

What happens if the bag is not authentic?

We accept original items only. If there are any doubts about authenticity or if the bag is found not to meet our requirements, we will not proceed with the purchase. In that case, we will let you know and arrange for the item to be returned, according to the terms communicated during the valuation.

Frequently asked questions about selling

Can I get a non-binding valuation?

Yes, the initial photo-based valuation is non-binding. The offer becomes binding only after the physical inspection, authentication, and your acceptance of the final offer.

How long will it take to receive a response?

Response times may vary depending on the volume of requests, but we aim to provide an initial indicative estimate within a few business days of receiving complete photos and information.
