The buy-back market for designer handbags is active but opaque. For one and the same model, the amount offered varies significantly from one buyer to the next, depending on their commercial strategy, current stock, resale channel and the demand of the moment. For a private seller, getting a fair price therefore means approaching several buyers — a time-consuming exercise on your own.
Why buy-back prices vary so much
A Hermès Kelly, a Chanel Classic Flap or a Louis Vuitton Speedy has no single price on the second-hand market. Several factors come into play:
- The overall condition of the bag (leather, stitching, corners, lining, hardware);
- The original items you still have (box, dust bag, certificate, receipt);
- The year and rarity of the model;
- The commercial positioning of the professional buyer.
Why it pays to consult several professionals
By sending your request to several specialist buyers at once, you increase your chances of receiving a fair proposal. That is exactly what Ligokero does: one request, passed on to the professionals that are relevant for your brand and model.
How Ligokero works when you sell a handbag
Describe your bag in a few minutes: brand, model, condition, photos. Once you have signed your mandate electronically, our team manually identifies the buy-back professionals likely to be interested, collects their proposals and presents them to you: you never have to contact buyers yourself to compare offers. Only the selected professional gets in touch afterwards, to arrange the appointment and complete the sale. Sending your request and receiving the proposals are free: the 10% seller commission is due only if a sale is actually concluded, with no fee otherwise. The proposal you receive is 100% net to you. The final decision remains entirely yours.
Practical tips before you sell
- Gather the original extras: box, dust bag, padlock, key, strap, receipts.
- Clean the leather gently, without aggressive products.
- Take five to ten sharp photos: exterior, interior, corners, lining, label, date code.
- Be upfront about flaws — that is what makes an offer reliable.
