They sell it for you
Fashionphile
You send the bag; they authenticate, photograph, list, and ship it.
Our take · Hands-off
Take an instant buyout quote today, or consign and keep 70% up to $3,000 plus 85% of anything above. Either way you just ship the bag; they do the rest.
An informed opinion from the policies below, not a verdict.
What you keep
| Sale price | You keep |
|---|---|
| $0 to $3,000 | 70% |
| Over $3,000 | 85% |
Each rate applies only to the part of the sale in that band.
| If it sells for | You'd keep about |
|---|---|
| $500 | $350 (70%) |
| $1,500 | $1,050 (70%) |
| $5,000 | $3,800 (76%) |
Our estimate off Fashionphile's published rates, before shipping and any state tax. Paid only once the bag sells.
Prefer cash today? Fashionphile will also buy the bag outright for an instant quote, which runs lower than consigning. No published percentage, so weigh the offer against the going rate.

FASHIONPHILE reserves the right to discount the sale price of items that remain unsold after twenty-five (25) days.

Selling here anyway?
Fair. Here's how to keep more of it.
They set the price, so anchor it before you send
- Look up the bag's current resale range first, so you know what a fair list price looks like.
- Ask whether your bag qualifies for a price-review or payout-range option before you ship.
- A low quote is easy to accept when you don't know the number. Know the number.
Consignment pays after it sells, not today
- Your cut is only real once a buyer buys. Plan for weeks, sometimes longer for a slow style.
- If you need cash now, compare the instant-buyout quote against the consignment estimate.
- Taking store credit often adds a few percent. Worth it only if you were going to buy anyway.
Know the number before you send the bag
- Look up your bag's current resale median for its size and material. Our estimate, from recorded market prices.
- That number is your floor for judging any offer, quote, or list price. Everything else is negotiation.
