- Understanding Value
What determines the value of luxury accessories
Every category has its own market — a handbag is judged differently to a fine pen or lighter — but six factors shape almost every valuation we make.
Maker & Model
Certain pieces within a maker's range command dramatically different values — a Birkin is judged very differently to a scarf
Authenticity & Date Codes
Date codes, hardware stamps, and maker's marks are essential to verifying authenticity in a market with significant counterfeiting.
Condition
Corner wear, hardware tarnish, and leather condition significantly affect the value of bags and luggage.
Rarity & Demand
Limited editions and hard-to-obtain models — exotic skins, special colourways — command a substantial premium.
Completeness
Original dust bags, boxes, straps, and authenticity cards increase both value and buyer confidence.
Material
Exotic leathers — crocodile, alligator, ostrich — are valued differently, and typically far more highly, than standard leathers.
