Buy Your Favorite Vintage Louis Vuitton from a Trusted Reseller

 You will find plenty of pre-owned Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes handbags resellers but you must have heard that all that glitters is no gold. So, before trusting anyone, do your research.

The internet is the best way to find out about the authenticity and fairness of any service provider and almost all trusted and reputable resellers have social media accounts. So, start digging into the comments section and read customer reviews.

Compare the Prices of Your Favorite Birkin 25 Handbag

 Now that you have searched for reputable pre-loved handbag resellers, it's time to select the one reseller you should trust to buy that Birkin 25 handbag from.

We recommend comparing the prices of different sellers and choosing the one that suits your budget. But bewary of too good to be true prices. The rule of thumb is if the price is too low, there is a high chance that it is fake or it might be in a really poor condition. So, stay away from sellers offering a VERY low price.

Check for Wear And Tear

 One drawback of buying pre-owned stuff is there are high chances of wear and tear. So, thoroughly check the pre-owned Birkin 25 handbag you ordered last week. Here are a few things to look for while inspection:

• Check the lining for wear or any pen marks.
• Check the bottom and corners of the bag for any scratches.
• Make sure the zip is working fine.
• Check the stitching is straight because brands take care of every minor detail.
• Lastly, check the overall look of the bag if it is worth the amount you are paying for it.

Do Your Detective Work Before Buying That Pre Owned Chanel Handbag

Buying pre-loved stuff is not easy. It needs a lot of detective work and focus. Here are a few tips to check the authenticity of the pre-owned Chanel bag you are planning to buy.

• Receipts are the best proof of original stuff and many resellers have it. So, ask for it.
• Almost all expensive handbags are sold with dust bags. So, if you are getting one, you are buying an authentic designer bag.
• Closely check the logo. If it is misspelled, smudged, blurred, or not aligned, it is fake.
• Match the serial numbers with the ones available on the official website. If it doesn’t match at all then it definitely is a fake.

Return Policy

 You might have read on e-commerce websites that products may vary in colors or size. It is true!! Because a camera cannot capture what an eye can see. So, be wary of the return policy of the seller you are buying from. Some sellers prefer store credits and some would offer you a complete money-back and if there is no return policy, stay away from them because there are high chances of being scammed.
