Which designer bag holds its value best?

The Hermès Birkin consistently holds and grows in value more than any other designer bag, with pre-owned examples appreciating year-on-year. The Chanel Classic Flap has also demonstrated strong value retention. At CSD, every Hermès and Chanel piece is authenticated before listing.

Is it worth buying a second-hand designer bag?

Yes. Pre-owned designer bags from established houses like Hermès, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton are often the only way to access discontinued colourways, vintage hardware, and limited editions. Buying authenticated pre-owned means paying significantly less than retail while receiving a piece with proven craftsmanship and heritage.

How do I know a second-hand designer bag is authentic?

At Consigned Sealed Delivered, every bag is authenticated by our expert team before listing. Our authentication process checks hardware finish, stitching quality, date stamps, serial numbers, and provenance documentation. Every piece comes with a CSD authenticity guarantee.

What is the most sought-after designer bag right now?

The Hermès Birkin remains the most coveted pre-owned designer bag globally, followed by the Chanel Classic Flap and the Louis Vuitton Speedy. Demand for these three consistently outpaces supply in the pre-owned market, which is why they also hold their value so strongly.

Refunds

CONSIGNED SEALED DELIVERED (CSD) REFUND POLICY

Once your returned item is received and CSD verifies that it complies with our returns policy, CSD will submit a refund request through your original payment method. CSD will keep you updated every step of the way. You can follow the return of your package with our carrier using the tracking number on your returns label.

If you are eligible, CSD may be able to issue your refund as CSD.Shop credit with a 10% bonus on top of the value of your returned item. This CSD.Shop credit will automatically apply at the checkout the next time you shop with us. This means you can receive an even greater discount on CSD’s luxury consignment items. At CSD, we want to make it practically effortless to find the best deals on used designer clothes, pre-owned designer bags and used designer shoes.

Please note, customs duties are non-refundable through CSD. You may be able to recover customs duties by contacting the local customs bureau directly. This option may not be applicable in all countries, so we recommend that you hire a customs broker to determine whether you can apply for a refund for customs fees related to your return.
