Pre-loved Designer Bags

How do we Authenticate Pre-loved Designer Bags?

Focus on authenticity has been at the core of our business since the founding in 2010: at CODOGIRL all pre-owned designer bags are hand-inspected by our in-house authentication experts. 

Unlike some very large resellers, who receive too much inventory to adequately and thoroughly authenticate each item, we ensure every item goes through a rigorous authenticity inspection prior to listing. We are so confident in this process that we provide our customers with a Lifetime Money-Back Authenticity Guarantee.

Our authenticators can tell a real Birkin while blindfolded, just by the smell of authentic Hermes-treated leather! However, every handbag goes through an authenticity checklist including items like material inspection, measurements, stitch quality and count, hardware, date stamps and much more. 

We know first hand how many fake handbags there are out there, and how difficult it can be to shop pre-owned luxury designer bags and be confident in their authenticity. In order to stop counterfeiters, it is important for all luxury handbag lovers to be able to tell an authentic handbag from a fake. Browse our CODOGIRL Journal where we published a number of authentication guides for some of the most popular brands.

Benefits of Luxury Bag Resale & Used Designer Handbags Consignment

The designer handbag resale industry is growing with popularity every year. More and more people are recognizing the benefits of shopping pre-owned designer fashion, and there are many to discuss. 

When shopping designer resale, you can feel good about your purchase because you made a sustainable fashion choice.

Another advantage is how much money you save when buying second hand designer bags as opposed to retail. That Chanel flap bag you have coveted all these years would set you back $5,000 or more in the Chanel boutiques. Instead of spending that much money, you could get the same bag, gently pro-owned, for thousands of dollars less. 

Are you shopping for a designer handbag you will carry everyday - perhaps a Louis Vuitton Neverfull tote or something similar? Buying pre-owned is the best value for your dollar, especially if the bag will face daily wear and exposure to the elements. 

You would feel a lot better running your daily errands with your bag knowing you saved a lot of money buying pre-owned, rather than spending several thousands on a brand new bag.

Another benefit of shopping designer resale is the ability to buy items that are no longer available in the designer boutiques. Brand boutiques will only carry the current year’s collection - but what if you want something from previous collections, or something vintage?

If you’re a vintage lover, luxury handbag resale is the way to go. You can often find rare beautiful items and carry a truly classic and uncommon piece, which will draw attention and compliments. We particularly love and specialize in vintage designer fashion. If you do too, be sure to check out our diligently curated vintage collection. 

How is Designer Handbag Resale Sustainable?

Fashion and clothing production is one of the highest polluting industries on our planet, accounting for up to 10% of the global carbon footprint throughout the production cycle. 

The biggest culprit in particular is fast fashion - cheap, poor quality clothing manufactured with no regard to the environment. Fast fashion brands use factories in third world countries with little to no regulation. Waterways are polluted with toxic chemicals, millions of tons of greenhouse gases emitted, and most of this clothing only ends up in landfills shortly after being sold.

It is a much better choice to invest your money into high quality fashion that can last your lifetime. And when you buy second hand luxury bags, you are giving a second life to something already made, using no further resources nor polluting the environment.
