“Love This Site”

Kanisha L.
4/22/20

I have purchased 3 beautiful bags from Fashionphile, and I currently have one on reserve. All of my bags were purchased at way below retail, and they're all in pristine condition. I cannot say enough positive things about this site. All of my bags came with super fast, free and easy shipping. I would definitely recommend them to any and everyone.

“As advertised but Shipping is Slow”

Judy S.
4/15/24

The products purchased (handbags & jewelry) are as advertised and authentic. Happy to find luxury items in great condition that are affordable. Only issue is it takes 2 months from time of shipment to actual receipt to US Territory. Maybe there could be a shipping option to use USPS with insurance & signature? At any rate, I know I can shop here with confidence. Thank you.

Fashionphile:DDD
That was the most hilarious online store's name I've ever faced. Or my mind is just spoiled lol.

In any case, I like the fact there are tons of bags of different brands. I ordered here the one for my girlfriend, and the assortment is truly big, bigger than I've ever seen from non famous brands to the most renowned ones like CD, Alexander McQueen and others. I suppose, the quality also raises no questions, at least my shawty had none.

I am a first-time user of Fashionphile and I must say, I was nervous. A very trustworthy friend of mine introduced me to the company and insisted that I consider purchasing my future luxury items from here. I ordered the most gorgeous, dainty Christian Louboutin Satin Loubgirl 100 Sandals in PINK! The condition stated they were 'excellent' and THEY WERE JUST THAT! I am in love with the shoes, the color and must importantly, the quality + condition.

Signed,
A Forever Customer

Reason I chose this business:

I choose Fashionphile because I am a firm believer that not all luxury items have to be new to be enjoyable.

This was my first experience with "vintage" handbag purchasing! I chose Fashionphile for its "authenticity guaranteed" and its return policy. My almost 30ish year old Louis Vuitton Noe arrived swiftly and packaged beautifully with Fashionphile's brilliant box/tissue/dust bag! Felt like I had shopped in Neiman's! Everything exceeded my expectations!

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Fashionphile for its attention to customer satisfaction and its authenticity guaranteed!

Ebay, Poshmark, RealReal has a terrible reputation in that regard!

I felt safe with Fashionphile!

I buy 90% of my clothes, handbags, and shoes from second-hand stores. For used designer handbags, I have the best luck at Fashionphile. I prefer shopping at Fashionphile because they sell the best quality designer bags for the best price. Fashionphile also has great customer service if you contact them by email. Their phone system seems to be slow but I get quick responses when I email them. I have purchased wallets, handbags, and a briefcase and all of them have been 50% or more off of retail price.

Tip for consumers:
If you have any reservations about this site, compare the price of the bag you are looking at to the same bag on other sites. You will see that Fashionphile offers the highest quality for the best price.

I absolutely love Fashionphile. They provide amazing quality bags at affordable prices. I am obsessed with designer bags but don't want to pay full price. I just received my Louis Vuitton Kiragami clutch and it's even more stunning in person. Shipping was fast and it came beautifully packaged. Fashionphile is a company I trust and I will absolutely be buying from them again!

Reason I chose this business:

Fast shipping, affordable prices, quality products.

Great selection and prices!

I love the wide selection of products and the website was very easy to navigate.

Reason I chose this business:

I chose Fashionphile because of the variety of products, the value for what you’re getting, and the guarantee of authenticity. Had I gone directly through the retailer, I would have spent an additional $600.

Fashionphile sold me a Chanel bag that is severely discoloured, but in the description, it's described as excellent with creases and faint corner wears that there is no mentioning of discolouration at all. The bag was sold for $4650 and there was another $750 of taxes on it as I had to ship it to Australia. You also can't see the discolouration from fashionphile pictures as they were taken from an angle that makes it look all black.

Items I've purchased have been in better than expected condition. I bought something in "excellent" condition and it was like brand new IMO. Very happy with my purchase and feel confident in purchasing something authentic. The only negative I'd say is with shipping. They use UPS and require signature which is fine but UPS isn't great about updating their site so it's hard to plan what day you need to be home to receive the delivery. Overall very happy and plan to buy again.

Reason I chose this business:

Authenticity guarantee - feeling confident that your purchase is authentic is very important to me.

Folks were very knowledgeable and professional. Sent me accurate photos of the watch. A couple of small glitches such as my order being cancelled for reasons I still don't understand. Upon calling to understand what happened, the order was re submitted, and paid for next day delivery. I got it a week later due to a snow storm delay (no fault of Fashionfile, or UPS). Watch is beautiful... thank you Fashionphile!

My order took a little while in the delivery service, I gave an incorrect address. In this store they kept in touch with me every day and told me they would send me another dress even if it wasn't their fault. I never expected to be replaced, the shipment was delivered, I'm glad I went to the post office two days later, they delivered my order without inconvenience. I never had a customer service like this with anyone else, for this and much more I buy it online at this boutique.

I already left a review but I will leave one again because I'm THAT satisfied. Not only is the customer service great, it was the fast shipping for me as well. ALSO, whoever makes the determination in accepting the products to re sell, bravo! My sandals look absolutely brand new. They don't even look like they have been worn. I am so excited and so happy with this purchase and I will most definitely continue to purchase through fashionphile. Also the "afirm" option to check out is also great! Thank you!

Reason I chose this business:

I heard from a friend and so glad I did. You have a forever customer!

Finding new pieces I can't get anywhere else is a wonderful experience with Fashionphile; I have added to my collection the handbags I missed out on from the boutiques.

Reason I chose this business:

My go-to for adding to my Chanel collection.

Reason I chose this product:

I bought this new from the boutique, and it was defective and had to be returned. This one appears to be perfect.

Very pleased with Fashionphile! Several bags look brand new. I love what's there. Unique styles, colors, & bags that are discontinued, and hard to find. Just what I am looking for, and the prices that I am looking for. I have used their reserve program numerous times as well, and it works out great for me. I am a longtime Fashionphile shopper, and seller, and will continue to do so. My favorite place for designer bags. I receive so many compliments on my purchases. Great company!

Everything looked as described. Happy with the experience. I purchased a vintage Tiffany bow necklace. My only annoyance was that it came in a tiffany box with the pouch, which was nice but the box had an fairly ugly sticker on it with a barcode and the company name. It was tricky getting that sticker off without damaging the box, which, as many known is part of the fun of opening a tiffany gift. Recommend putting that stick on the inside bottom of the box if it is considered necessary to include.

Reason I chose this business:

This is my second purchase from Fashionphile and I love this one too! I was skeptical at first but I am a true believer now. The descriptions of the bag(s) on line are modest at best. This bag arrived in better condition than described. In addition, the return/buy-back policy is fantastic! I have purchased from another pre-love site/company and NEVER AGAIN will I shop with them. If I were not on a budget (for real) I would probably buy something from Fashionphile every week.

I had the most amazing first experience with Fashionphile! First of all, the app is super easy to use! Also, when I wanted to see the bag in natural light and on a body, the FP team sent photos via email right away. Lastly, I purchased my Chanel Boy Bag at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday, by Wednesday at 9 a.m. my shipping label was already created and the bag was shipped out the door that afternoon. I really appreciate this kind of promptness - especially when I'm waiting for my first Chanel bag!

Thank you Fashionphile Team!

The packaging was great, and I love how Fashionphile includes their branded dust bags. My Hermès bag in the order arrived safe and sound, properly packaged, and I was able to get a third party (bababebi) to also authenticate and give me peace of mind that what I have is authentic. (I trust Fashionphile, but I'm so paranoid now with how many replicas there are.)

Overall, I'd order from Fashionphile again.

Reason I chose this business:

Fashionphile has a really good authenticity guarantee policy, and it had the bag I was looking for at a good deal that's actually below retail (because Hermès bags are worth so much from resellers). I also have peace of mind that if Hermès can't spa my bag and state it's because it's fake, then I can always open a case with Fashionphile in the future to resolve this and get my money back.

Second purchase from Fashionphile - would recommend to everyone! The prices are more competitive than other pre-loved sites, and the condition of the bags are beyond accurate every single time. I've purchased a Chanel in very good condition (I would consider it excellent, it was practically flawless) and a Celine in excellent condition (impeccable, definitely giftable). Delivery is very quick and secure. 10/10!

From the business

FASHIONPHILE is a leader in pre-owned luxury, we BUY and SELL ultra-luxury accessories. We offer the largest selection of the world’s most coveted designers, including rare, vintage, and limited edition items.

We want to buy your luxury pieces and are committed to providing you with the highest payout value. FASHIONPHILE provides you with quick, safe, and simple methods to unlock the investment that is currently sitting in your closet.

Business Highlights

  • 100% authentic, guaranteed
  • The largest selection of ultra-luxury
  • Selling made simple. We pay upfront

Business History

On the surface, FASHIONPHILE is about making pre-owned, ultra-luxury goods accessible. Rare pieces? We have them. Your favorite wishlist item for a steal? We’ve got that, too. We’re about guaranteed-authentic Holy Grail products in great condition, and quick buy-outs on pieces you’re ready to sell.

But then, FASHIONPHILE is also so much more.

It’s the idea that what you want, can (and should) be yours. That luxury isn’t synonymous with hard-to-get and harder-to-pay-for. That without a doubt, there’s nothing better than the real thing. And that when we create sustainable, practical solutions — for even the most luxurious of things — we not only make life better but frankly, more fun.

As the very first ultra-luxury re-commerce brand of its kind, FASHIONPHILE is the brainchild of Founder and President, Sarah Davis. Like most of the brands we love best, FASHIONPHILE began in 1999, with little more than a good idea. In 2006, Sarah introduced business partner & CEO Ben Hemminger, who evolved the brand by expanding the collection and presenting it to a larger market. Over 20 years later, FASHIONPHILE is now one of the world’s top resellers of pre-owned luxury and the exclusive re-commerce partner of Neiman Marcus.

In the words of Geoffroy van Raemdonck, CEO of Neiman Marcus Group, “FASHIONPHILE’s hyper-focus on curating high-quality supply and providing best-in-class shopping experiences makes it the ideal partner.”

When Neiman Marcus calls you ideal, you blush and just, well, let it in.

Our promise to you.
Our customers don’t take promises lightly, and neither do we. The four you see here represent our deepest dedications, explorations, and well, our values at our core. We hope you take them to heart the way we have.

1. We make authenticity our first priority.
And we don’t just mean our handbags, although authentication of our products is essential and come first in all we do. It’s why we’ve literally written the book on authentication, and why our process is one of the most in-depth in the industry.

2. When we want something, we’re all in.
Most other resellers operate on a consignment basis. That means that when you sell a bag, you won’t receive a payment for the item until they sell it. Which could literally take weeks or even months — if ever.

At FASHIONPHILE, we like clean slates and clear terms. So to our sellers, we offer full buy-outs on nearly every item, with immediate payment processing after the item arrives and is authenticated. And to our buyers, we offer a 100% authenticity guarantee, point blank period.

3. The best service, always.
We provide many ways for you to buy and sell ultra-luxury to make your experience, well, luxurious. This includes free shipping and free returns (U.S. Only, see page for terms). Want to try something out but don’t want to commit? We have a BuyBack Program for that. Reserve Luxury Layaway which allows you to buy an item using payment installments over time so you can buy that must-have bag now even if you don't yet have all the funds available.

We know that shopping online can leave you wanting more detail about your future luxury purchase, that is why we have Personal Shoppers available for any questions that you may have about a particular item.

4. We value what’s unique in people, in pieces, and in perspectives.
There is no art — and indeed no fashion — without depth and range of perspectives, backgrounds, experiences, and tastes.

As our Founder herself so aptly put it, “the more diversity we share — in perspectives, in ethnicity, in skin color, in culture, in sexual orientation, in religion and in all aspects of life, the better the product we produce and the better we are able to serve our diverse customer base.”

In alignment with those values, we’re truly proud and a little humbled to say that over half of our staff are currently people of color. Their presence makes our team better, more creatively and culturally diverse, and more aligned with the people we serve.

And like every person (regardless of their differences), our entire team is always growing, learning, and improving. We actively seek ways to better serve our customers and community, especially those who are historically underserved. If you ever have a question or concern, about any topic, we’re here.
