Luxury accessories like designer handbags, fine jewelry, watches and other high-end pieces hold their value exceptionally well. However, styles and personal tastes change, and sometimes, it makes more sense to part with luxury items rather than letting them sit unused. Consigning your luxury accessories is a smart way to turn unused items into cash while giving them a second life instead of letting them go to waste.
If you’re new to the consignment process, this guide will walk you through the benefits, what to expect and how to get the most for your items.
Why Consign Your Luxury Accessories?
Many people hesitate to sell their high-end pieces, assuming the process is complicated or they won’t get a fair price. However, consignment offers several advantages over other selling methods:
Maximize Your Return
Unlike selling to a pawn shop or reseller, where offers are often lower to account for quick resale and potential authentication risks, consignment allows you to get closer to market value. A reputable luxury consignment service like The Relux ensures your pieces are priced competitively, reflecting their true worth.
Hassle-Free Selling
Selling luxury accessories on your own can be time-consuming, photographing items, handling negotiations and ensuring authenticity. Consignment services handle all of this for you, from marketing to finding the right buyers.
Access to a Luxury Buyer Market
Luxury resale platforms and consignment boutiques have established customer bases actively searching for high-end pieces. Rather than waiting for the right buyer, consigning with a trusted company connects your items with individuals who appreciate and can afford them.
Sustainable Fashion Choice
Luxury accessories are designed to last, and consigning supports the circular fashion movement. By giving your pieces a second life, you help reduce waste and promote sustainability without sacrificing style.
What Luxury Accessories Can You Consign?
While each consignment store has specific guidelines, The Relux accepts a wide range of luxury accessories, including:
● Designer handbags – Brands like Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada consistently hold value.
● Fine jewelry – Gold, platinum, diamonds and high-end designer jewelry from brands like Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and Van Cleef & Arpels.
● Watches – Luxury timepieces from Rolex, Patek Philippe, Omega and Cartier.
● Sunglasses – High-end brands such as Dior, Tom Ford and Celine.
● Belts, scarves and other accessories – Luxury brand accessories that maintain their value over time.
How to Prepare Your Luxury Accessories for Consignment
Clean and Maintain
While professional cleaning may be an option, presenting your accessories in the best condition possible increases their appeal. Wipe down leather handbags, polish jewelry and remove dust or minor scuffs where possible.
Gather Original Packaging and Documents
Luxury items with authenticity cards, receipts, dust bags and original packaging often fetch higher prices. Buyers are more confident purchasing when they have proof of authenticity.
Research Market Value
Before consigning your pieces, it's helpful to have a general idea of their market value. While a consignment service like The Relux will appraise your piece, having a general idea of its worth can be beneficial.
Choose a Reputable Consignment Service
Not all consignment stores operate the same way. Look for a service that specializes in luxury goods, has a transparent commission structure, and a strong reputation for customer service and authentication.
What to Expect When You Consign
- Item Evaluation & Authentication – Experts assess your luxury accessory, verifying its authenticity and condition.
- Pricing & Listing – A competitive price is set based on market trends, brand demand and item condition.
- Marketing & Selling – Your item is professionally photographed and listed on online marketplaces or in-store.
- Final Sale & Payment – Once your accessory sells, you receive payment according to the agreed-upon commission structure.
