Fashion & bags: what we accept

We select authentic designer bags and fashion pieces that collectors and enthusiasts actually want — rare, wearable and in strong condition. Only pieces with an expected value of €100 or more qualify, and every submission is reviewed by an Auctium fashion expert before it can go live.

What we accept

• Authentic bags, wallets, scarves and accessories from luxury houses and select premium brands — Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci and comparable names.
• Pieces in very good, wearable condition or better (see condition grades below).
• Objects that are collectable, iconic or seasonally relevant — special editions, rare colours, artist collaborations and timeless models.
• A minimum expected value of €100.

Condition grades

Grade honestly — our experts verify your grade against the photos, and bidders rely on it:

• New / like new — never used; tags, box or dust bag may be present.
• Very good — barely used, with only minimal signs of wear.
• Good — gently used with minor wear, such as light scuffs or faint scratches.
• Heavily used — clearly worn but functional; accepted only for top-tier brands, at the expert's discretion.

What we do not accept

• Uniform items, VIP gifts, press samples and showroom models.
• Prototypes and miniature bags from perfume collections.
• Exotic-leather pieces from unknown brands.
• Pieces in poor or unwearable condition — torn handles, split interiors or zippers, loose stitching, damaged or missing hardware, torn corners. (Exceptionally rare Hermès and Chanel pieces may be accepted at the expert's discretion.)
• Outdated or low-demand objects below the €100 threshold.

Required details

The submission form guides you through the essentials — complete every field so your listing is searchable and unambiguous:

• Item type — bag, wallet, scarf or other accessory.
• Brand and model — the house and the exact model name.
• Material — leather type, canvas, exotic skins (with CITES documentation where applicable).
• Hardware — finish and condition of clasps, zippers and studs.
• Dimensions — width × height × depth in cm.
• Year and condition — production period and an honest grade.
• Description — colour, style or date code, what is included, provenance and every flaw.

Photos

Upload up to 8 high-quality images — fill the bag so it keeps its shape, use a neutral background and natural light, and avoid selfies, screenshots and stock photos. Your set must show:

• Front, back and both sides; the bottom and its corners.
• Handles and the back of the flap, where applicable.
• The interior: lining and pockets.
• Brand stamps, inside and out.
• Hardware and zipper engravings, front and back.
• The authenticity code, serial number or date code.
• Everything included: dust bag, box, receipt, authenticity card.

Proof of authenticity

For high-value pieces we may require additional verification before approval. Strengthen your listing from the start:

• Upload the original invoice, tags, brand packaging, dust bag and authenticity card where available.
• Make sure serial codes, date codes and interior stamps are clearly visible in your photos.

A description that sells

Give the exact model, material and colour, the date code, precise measurements and a full inventory of included accessories. Describe wear corner by corner — buyers of €1,000 bags read every word.
