Sell & Consign Luxury Designer Pieces in Melbourne

Melbourne's Home for Authenticated Preloved Luxury

The Purse Affair is proudly Melbourne-based — born and built in this city. With two boutique locations in Doncaster and Collins Street, we are Melbourne's largest authenticated preloved luxury retailer and the only luxury consignment store in Australia with a presence at a major retail destination.

Whether you're in Toorak, South Yarra, Brighton, Malvern, Hawthorn, or the Melbourne CBD, selling your luxury pieces with us is simple. Walk into either store for an instant assessment, or email us for a valuation from anywhere in Melbourne.

How We Help Melbourne Clients

Melbourne has always been Australia's fashion capital, and our clients reflect that. We work with collectors downsizing curated wardrobes, professionals upgrading to new season pieces, and families looking to find the right home for inherited luxury items.

As a local Melbourne business, we offer something no online-only platform can: the ability to walk in, see your item appraised in person, and leave with confidence. No posting, no waiting for remote valuations, no uncertainty. Of course, our online service is equally seamless if you prefer to start with an email.

We specialise in authenticated preloved pieces from the world's most coveted houses:

• Hermès — Birkin, Kelly, Constance, Picotin, Evelyne, Lindy, and all leather goods
• Chanel — Classic Flap, Boy, Coco Handle, 19, WOC, and Chanel jewellery

Your Selling Options

Consignment: We list, market, photograph, and sell your item on your behalf. Our commission is tiered based on sale price — the more your item sells for, the lower our rate:

With 50% of items selling within one week, 80% within one month, and 95% eventually selling, your items won't sit idle.

Direct Purchase: Prefer an instant offer? We'll provide a fair cash price and pay within 24 hours. No waiting, no listing period.

Sourcing: Looking for a specific piece? Let us know what you're after and we'll source it from our network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I walk in without an appointment?

Absolutely. Both our Doncaster and Collins Street stores welcome walk-ins during trading hours. No booking required.

Do you buy items outright or only consign?

Both. We offer consignment for maximum return or direct purchase for instant payment. Your choice.

How quickly do items sell?

50% of our items sell within one week, 80% sell within one month, and 95% eventually sell. Melbourne's strong appetite for preloved luxury means well-priced pieces move quickly.

When do I get paid?

We process your payout the moment your item is dispatched to the buyer — not after the buyer receives it. This is something almost no other consignment store in Australia offers.

What condition does my item need to be in?

We accept items in a range of conditions, from like-new to well-loved. Send us photos and we'll give you an honest assessment and valuation.

Is my item safe in your store?

Yes. Our stores have professional security and insurance. Every item is photographed, documented, and stored in secure conditions from the moment it arrives.
