Authenticity and second hand
Do you perform special treatments on items before sale?

Which brands are worth investing in for second hand?
The brands worth investing in for second hand with a guaranteed return are certainly Chanel and Hermès; let us not forget that certain models, especially bags, can come back into fashion, such as the Gucci Jackie or the Chloè Paddington. Vintage and second hand in excellent condition is always a valid investment for the future.
How can I care for my luxury purchase?
Follow the washing instructions inside the garment if it is clothing, and never expose it to direct sunlight to avoid fading. If you have purchased a bag or a pair of shoes, proceed according to the material: use periodic moisturizing treatments if it is leather, and store them in a dry, dark place, inside their dustbag and using stuffing to maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
