Bags
The pieces that carry the house. Handbags, shoulder bags, totes, crossbody, clutches — graded honestly, photographed completely.
What we carry
Graded honestly, every one.
A grade and a condition note on every piece, and photographs that include whatever is wrong with it. No prices here — write to us about anything you'd like to see.
Faint surface wear under strong light. Hardware bright.
Light corner rub and faint interior marks, photographed.
Wear that has settled into character, shown from every angle.
A piece with a past — photographed without mercy.
Corners clean. Hardware carries the faintest handling marks.
Light rub along the flap edge. Padlock and key both present.
What to look for
Where this category shows its age.
Every category wears differently. These are the three things worth your attention here — and the three we photograph closest.
Corners and base
Corners go first on almost every bag, and a base that has taken weight will show it. Both are photographed close on every piece we list, whatever the grade.
The interior
Linings tell the truth about how a bag was lived in — pen marks, a stretched pocket, a faint scent of someone's perfume. We open it up and show you.
Hardware and stitching
Plating wears at contact points and stitching loosens where a strap meets the body. Neither is disqualifying. Both are worth seeing before you decide.
The rubric
What the grade on each piece means.
Published in full, so a grade means the same thing here as it does anywhere else in the house.
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| Pristine | Unworn or indistinguishable from unworn. No visible flaws under studio light. |
| Excellent | Light, careful use. Faint surface wear you have to look for. Nothing structural. |
| Very Good | Honest wear — light corner rub, faint interior marks — photographed and listed on the piece. |
| Good | Visible wear that has settled into character. Every flaw shown from every angle. |
| Loved | A piece with a past. Priced for it, photographed without mercy, described without excuses. |
