We strive to only sell pre-loved bags and small leather goods of the highest quality, from the world’s most prominent designers. Among those are Chanel, Hermès, Bottega Veneta and Dior, with more to come.

We follow a rigorous authentication protocol and if one detail leaves us uncertain in any way, we directly send the item back to its seller. Follow our handbag expert and Head of Sales Maxine through our authentication process here.

To provide a diverse yet curated product selection, some bags are sold through SACLÀB—yet not stored with us. This means one of our trusted partner companies handles the (first) expert authentication, product photography and storage. Only once the item is sold on our website, it’s shipped to our SACLÀB HQ in Munich and from here to the buyer. Even though our partners are thoroughly vetted, our SACLÀB experts will do a second authenticity inspection once the bag arrives. A safe, seamless purchase experience remains our priority.

Deliveries take longer since these selected special items are first shipped from our partner company’s warehouse to the SACLÀB HQ—and then checked again by our in-house experts for authenticity and quality. Only once approved, the bag is dispatched to the buyer. We do our best to authenticate the bag within 24 hours and send it out using our complimentary express shipping to its final destination.

We only work with companies we’ve collaborated with for years, which are household names in luxury resale. Although we trust in their expertise and authentication process, our in-house experts independently double-check every single item upon arrival at our HQ. In the exceptional case that we have only a slight doubt about a bag’s authenticity, we always send it back to the seller and cancel the sale. Learn more about our authentication methods and standards.

For the selected items that are sold with a partner company, our vetted partners handle product photography. Therefore, these bags don’t have the signature SACLÀB model shot and can be styled differently. Please note that since these curated items are not stored with us, our customer care team won’t be able to send you additional photos through WhatsApp or email. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Chipolo ONE Spot is a smart tracking tag that helps find items with the Apple Find My network. The Find My network provides an easy, secure way to locate your personal items using the Find My app on Apple devices.

At SACLÀB, we take great care to ensure your order arrives safely at your doorstep. Using a Chipolo ONE Spot tracker allows us to monitor the delivery process of your parcel, and locate it for you in case of complications or loss. We add a tracking tag to any order above € 2,000 and deactivate it after your 14-day return period has expired.

The tracker might make a beeping sound or appear on your own Apple device. This is a safety measure required by law, to notify you about a tracking tag near you.

We always strive to reduce waste – sustainability is one of our cornerstones at SACLÀB. That’s why we kindly ask you to send the tracker back to us using the envelope provided or to place it back inside the parcel if you return your purchase.

We accept all major credit cards, Paypal and bank transfer.

We are fully compliant with GDPR laws and use a third-party payment system (Mollie) to process your data, meaning your bank details are safeguarded from us.

Orders placed with PayPal, Ideal, Sofort, Alipay, Wechat Pay and other HPP payment methods are transferred immediately when the order is placed.

We offer a full-service consignment experience. You can upload your bag on SACLAB.COM/SELL in less than 3 minutes and schedule a free courier pick-up. We welcome bags from the following designers: Hermès, Chanel, Bottega Veneta, and Dior. We will do all the sales efforts and you earn up to 84% of the selling price once your item is sold.

Please note that we can only accept bags consigned from EU-based clients at this point.

We welcome any submissions of bags, however, we distance ourselves from counterfeits and fakes! We will kindly flag it to you should your submitted bag turn out not be authentic. Should you repeatedly submit counterfeits, we will not shy away from reporting it to the police.

Our commission pricing is one of the most competitive out there, earning you up to 84% of the selling price through our consignment service.
Here are our commission sale payments:

• Receive 75% of the contractual selling price for a bag worth up to €3,050
• Receive 80% of the contractual selling price for a bag worth €3,051 – €15,050
• Receive 84% of the contractual selling price for a bag worth more than 15,050€
• Receive a 200€ store voucher for your first sale

Please note that a buyer’s premium of 9% (min. €90) will be added to the contractual selling price. This fee is not part of the consignment agreement.

Simply submit your bag online in less than 3 minutes. You will receive an instant price recommendation but are also free to choose your own price. After, we will arrange a free courier pick-up for your handbag at your convenience and take care of everything else. From the moment the bag is with our courier to its delivery after a sale, it is fully insured and in safe hands. Please note, however, that SACLÀB is not liable for any loss or damage to packages that are handed over to parcel shops or access points.

Our trained luxury consultants will ensure high-end product photography and targeted promotion to our global database of clients. Meanwhile, you can lean back and relax and receive your payout once your item has found a new home. Find more information on the selling process HERE.

Not to worry – as a seller, you don’t need to pay any shipping fees. We’ll send you a pre-paid shipping label and also take care of any shipping or returns cost once your bag has sold. However, as we offer deliveries all over the world, we do add €50 on top of the agreed selling price.

No. With every product upload, we strive to market each bag to its individual needs and as fast as possible. Occasionally, we may list products on third-party platforms such as Vestiaire Collective, Rebelle, or Ebay – no need to do the same yourself as this can disrupt the selling process immensely.

Whilst it can be hard to wait, please allow us at least 4 weeks to find the perfect new owner for your bag(s). If you need to sell your product particularly quickly, we advise you TO CONTACT our experts.

We always do our best to transfer your payout as soon as possible. However, there are a few reasons that can cause a delay.

• Your bag’s new owner has the right to return it within 14 days. This return period, however, only starts with the delivery date, not on the day of purchase.
• Some buyers choose bank transfers as their preferred payment method. To finalize the transaction, we allow 7 days. This means we can only ship the bag once we have received the full amount.
• For international orders, we have to request an export, which again can take a few days to be processed.

If you want to know the exact date of your payout transfer, please don’t hesitate to contact our Customer Care team.

Upon completion of your bag’s spa treatment, we will send it back to you immediately – fully insured and beautifully packaged as usual. Please note: depending on the service and care your bag requires, the whole process can take between 3–4 weeks.

We are happy to restore and refurbish your bag if it shows significant damage. However, this service is not included in our free Bag Spa treatment. Please get in touch with our consultants for a bespoke offer.

Please let us know promptly – at the latest 48 hours after your bag’s return – if you are unhappy with the outcome. We always do our best to care for your bag. However, severe marks or traces of usage might remain – think of them as signs of your bag’s character and history.

We have created the Leather Care Kit in collaboration with Act of Caring, a sustainable material care expert from Sweden. The Leather Care Kit includes a Restoring Leather Cleanser, Protecting Leather Balm and two sponges that can be used for application. It arrives beautifully packaged in a matching dust bag.

The mild Restoring Leather Cleanser and Protecting Leather Balm can be used to gently clean, hydrate and protect smooth or grained leathers – Chanel lambskin or Hermès Togo leather, for example.

Do not use it on nubuck, suede or exotic leather.

You can find the detailed instructions on the product page under “Instruction”. Please follow the instructions closely. Always try the Leather Care Kit out on an inconspicuous corner of your handbag first before applying it to the whole piece, to see how the leather reacts to the product.

Do not use it on nubuck, suede or exotic leather.

Incorrect at-home cleaning or the wrong use of the Leather Care Kit bears a risk to your bag’s leather. We assume no liability for any damage caused by incorrectly executed cleaning or care attempts.

Free shipping applies on all orders of the Leather Care Kit within the EU. If you want to purchase it from outside the EU, please contact our Customer Care. Delivery costs and import duties may apply depending on your country and are not included. 

Naturally, if you purchase the Leather Care Kit together with a handbag, free shipping applies worldwide. You also enjoy a € 5 discount.

In January 2023 the Platform Tax Transparency Act (PStTG) was introduced in the European Union. According to this law, every e-commerce platform operating in the European Union is obliged to report certain seller data to the tax authority of the member state of residence. For SACLÀB, this is the German Bundesfinanzamt (Federal Finance Ministry of Germany). However, the data only needs to be reported for EU-based sellers, who have made over 30 transactions/year with SACLÀB, or who have received a payment by SACLÀB of €2,000 or more/ year. 

For private sellers: 

• Name/ Surname
• Address of the main residence
• Birth date
• Country of residence
• Tax ID of the country of residence
• Bank account information 

For professional sellers: 

• Company name
• Address of the registered office
• VAT registration number
• Tax residence
• Bank account information

For the majority of handbag sales with SACLÀB, no taxes will most likely apply to the seller. However, this is up to the financial authorities to decide. Yet, the data needs to be passed on, irrespective of whether a sale is taxable or not. As tax authorities might reach out to sellers personally, we, therefore, recommend always keeping a copy of the original bag invoice. Please also speak to your tax advisor as this is no tax advice.

Unless this information is provided, we cannot accept your bag for sale with SACLÀB. If a bag is already in our possession and we ask for this data in hindsight, scheduled payments can be delayed until the required data is passed on to SACLÀB.
