Hi Everyone,

I read good reviews about fashionphile and the real real but they are all North American based, for us Europeans they are not that handy because of import fees.
I live in the Netherlands and I like Designer Vintage (I have bought from) and The next closet (I have sold on).
There is Vestiarre collective which I drool almost every day on but also heard mixed reviews about it and I just discovered Rebelle but have not seen or heard much about that one!

What are your favorite pre-loved sites/instagram pages based in Europe?
Love to hear them!

I am a big fan of Labellov just "down the road" from you in Antwerp, Belgium. They are very responsive and helpful. Their prices tend to be (also but not always) lower than the other site I routinely check, which is Collector Square. Labellov is one of the best pre-loved sites for Delvaux fans.
www.labellov.com

Labellov - Buy & Sell Your Bags - Leading Platform for Authenticated Luxury

Buy, sell and consign preloved designer handbags and accessories online at Labellov. Shop Chanel, Delvaux, Louis Vuitton and Hermès designer bags and accessories for the best price online.
www.labellov.com www.labellov.com

Collector Square has both an online presence and a sizable store on the Blvd Raspail in Paris (appointment needed). Labellov does not ordinarily keep Birkins and Kellys in their store, but you can arrange to see them on-site by appointment. My only reservation is that it seems one person does most of the authenticating and condition reports...

The second life of luxury goods

More than 10,000 Certified Luxury Bags, Watches and Jewels: Chanel, Hermès, Rolex, Cartier, Louis Vuitton… Excellent Condition. Dispatched within 24hrs.
www.collectorsquare.com www.collectorsquare.com

I also like the "what goes around comes around" section at ShopBop. From time to time they have some really interesting vintage bags and as far as I know, have had no issues with international shipping.

Finally, there's Secondo, also in Belgium in Knokke-Heist. They used to be in Bruges. I haven't been to them since their Bruges days, but they were great for Chanel, Hermes, Delvaux and LV bags. Currently they seem to be more about clothes than bags. No English site, Flemish or French only. https://www.secondo-fas.be/

Thank you so much! Those are great sites! And flemish is no problem :) Ik spreek ook Nederlands :) Leuk buurvrouw en leuk om een mede tassen fanaat hier te ontmoeten! Ik ben nog vrij nieuw in het verzamelen, ik heb voor de kerst mijn eerste vintage chanel gekocht en nu smaakt dat naar meer :)

Just to be clear, it's Collector Square that seems to have the same person authenticating and doing the condition reports on the majority of their bags, not labellov.

Ah good to know, labellove looks amazing. Me and the bf were supposed to go a weekend away last year to Antwerp but then Corona so when everything is all "normal" I wil def visit this store. Thank you.

I use Vestiaire. Had a couple of bad experiences with them, mind you they react/refund really fast and dont make a fuss, but mostly every transaction went great. I would say they’re safe.

I'd like to know as well. Especially for any in the UK. I'm trying to track a discontinued handbag.
I've had bad selling experience in Vestiaire so not keen on using it again. Also their commission is high so sellers are not too keen to reduce their prices by much.

I also recommend Labellov. I've bought twice from them two bags in new condition below retail price. They are very responsive. I had a problem with my credit card payment and called me right away to reserve the bag while I sorted out the problem.

Designerwishbags is also great, especially for Chanel bags. You must be very reactive because the majority of items sells really fast.

I just completed an order with Labellov for this beautiful Gucci croco Boston bag. Should arrive next week. I've been watching the bag for months and it popped up today with a 1000 euro price drop! They were super helpful online, sent me extra photos and more details within 10 minutes of my query. I think they already pulled the bag from their web site, which IMO, shows their responsiveness.

Does anyone have experience buying from Labellov from the US? What're the duty and import fees? I am really interested in getting a Birkin 30 from them. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

its beautiful! Congrats on your purchase! Yes I also emailed them about the Givenchy Antigona and they responded immediately with additional photo's. Their customer service is so good! I got the bag for such a good price and the bag is in excellent condition!
