Why You Should Sell Your Luxury Handbags With BOPF

Why You Should Sell Your Luxury Handbags With BOPF - BOPF | Business of Preloved Fashion

There are many reasons to love luxury brands. They create timeless luxury by creating the highest quality products that last for decades to come as well as by consciously making the choice of not jumping aboard the trends train.

Reselling luxury products has always been a good idea. After all, the highly coveted Birkins are called “investment” bags for a reason. Unlike your typical fast fashion brands which create the equivalent of “use and throw” items that end up in landfills, luxury items, are usually passed from one wardrobe to another. We can owe this to the fact that they’re often gently used and of extremely high quality. 


The Luxury Secondhand Market


A great resale value along with the ability to lead to a green future? Yes, sign us up, please!


The green movement has led to the growth in the circular fashion movement, with more and more eco-conscious millennials looking to buy vintage and to thrift rather than give their money to fast fashion brands. In terms of luxury products, the market has seen a rapid rise since the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. Don’t believe us? Let’s just look at the data:

→ The secondhand market is projected to double in the next years, reaching US$77 billion by 2025. This means that it is expected to grow 11X faster than the traditional retail clothing sector. 

→ The luxury secondhand market is growing at 12% per year (as compared to the primary luxury market, at 3% per year).

So far we’ve established that luxury products last forever, are investment products for a reason, and are much better for the environment than fast fashion. If you have a luxury product you’re looking to sell, BOPF is the place for you.

We also have the Hermes 30 Gold Birkin Epsom Leather Bag listed on BOPF. It is a well-known fact that Birkin bags are great investments - after all, they tend to do oftentimes resale at a higher price than the original price tag. They’re considered to at times even be a better investment than gold or the stock market.


Sell on BOPF 


Luxury brands hold very high resale values. You have your classics, such as bags by Chanel and Birkin (as well just saw), as well as jewelry by brands such as Cartier, that command very high resale prices. However, newer, trendier pieces, such as the Dior Book Tote, the Dior Saddle Bag, and the Gucci GG Marmont bag also sell very well in the secondhand luxury market.

We make the whole process a breeze for you - taking care of everything from product photography and marketing to accounting and logistics. All you need to do is submit your items by filling out the form, we’ll then collect your items, authenticate/inspect, photograph and list them and you just get paid once your item(s) sell.
