Sell Designer Bags Sydney
Sell Designer Bags in Sydney
You do not need to live in Melbourne to sell with us. We take consignments from Sydney and across NSW — from the Eastern Suburbs to the North Shore, and more than four in ten items we receive are posted to us rather than dropped in. If you are in Sydney the process is entirely remote: email photos, accept your quote, post the item with tracked and insured freight, and get paid by bank transfer on dispatch.
The Purse Affair is Australia’s largest preloved luxury retailer, with two Melbourne stores, a nationwide online buyer base and a Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee on every item we sell. Your Sydney bag is seen by buyers in every state, not just the ones who happen to walk past a shop.
How to sell your designer items from Sydney
- Email your photos. Send front, back, interior, base, serial number and any wear to quote.tpa@gmail.com.
- Get your quote within 24 hours. We quote both a consignment price and an outright purchase figure so you can choose.
- Ship it to us. Once you accept the quote we send full packing and shipping instructions. Courier cost is at your expense, but our negotiated freight rates are well below retail and fully tracked and insured.
- We authenticate, photograph and list. Your item goes live on our website, in store, and across our social channels.
- Get paid on dispatch by bank transfer as soon as the item sells and ships.
What our consignors actually receive

Two ways to sell
Consignment — we photograph, price, market and sell the item for you over a six-week listing period, and you keep the majority of the sale price. If it does not sell you can collect it free of charge, reduce the price, or take a direct purchase offer.
Direct purchase — if you want money now, we will make you an outright offer and pay by bank transfer once the item passes authentication.
Brands we accept
Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Rolex, Prada, Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, Celine, Loewe, Fendi and Bulgari, plus most recognised luxury houses. See our full list of accepted designers.

What Sydney sellers bring us
Sydney is consistently our biggest source of interstate consignments. Goyard, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chanel move fastest for our Sydney consignors, and we regularly take in items from Woollahra, Double Bay, Mosman, Bondi, Chatswood and the Inner West. If you are downsizing a collection rather than selling a single piece, we can quote the whole lot in one email and arrange a single insured pickup.
Frequently asked questions

Yes. We accept consignments from Sydney and all of New South Wales. Everything is handled by email and tracked, insured courier — you never need to travel.
Who pays for shipping?
The courier cost is at your expense, but our negotiated freight rates are well below retail, and every parcel is tracked and insured in transit. We send exact instructions after you accept a quote.
How much is my bag worth in Sydney?
The market is national, so you get the same figure you would in Melbourne. Our median consignor payout on a Chanel Classic Flap is $7,210 and on a Cartier Love bracelet it is $5,085. Email photos to quote.tpa@gmail.com for an exact quote within 24 hours.
What if my item does not sell?
