Consumers can list and sell their new or preowned handbags from high-end brands like Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Chanel with shoppers able to enjoy peace of mind that items are authentic and as described. The Luxe Collective handles all the details regarding the sales process from photography to pricing to ensure a seamless experience.
