NEW ARRIVALS
LUXURY PRE-LOVED HANDBAGS, WATCHES & JEWELLERY
YOUR DREAM OF OWNING A TIMELESS CLASSIC IS JUST MOMENTS AWAY
SHOP IRRESISTIBLE DEALSYou do not need to live in Melbourne to sell with us. We take consignments from Perth and across Western Australia, and more than four in ten items we receive are posted to us rather than dropped in. If you are in Perth the process is entirely remote: email photos, accept your quote, post the item with tracked and insured freight, and get paid by bank transfer on dispatch.
The Purse Affair is Australia’s largest preloved luxury retailer, with two Melbourne stores, a nationwide online buyer base and a Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee on every item we sell. Your Perth bag is seen by buyers in every state, not just the ones who happen to walk past a shop.
These are real figures from items we have sold, not estimates. “Items sold” is the number of that model we have handled, and the payout is the median amount paid to the consignor after our commission.
| Item | Items sold | Sold price range | Median consignor payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hermès Birkin 30 | 81 | $14,100 – $72,100 | $19,610 |
| Hermès Kelly | 137 | $520 – $110,100 | $5,595 |
| Hermès Constance | 95 | $650 – $53,100 | $10,185 |
| Chanel Classic Flap | 312 | $1,680 – $15,600 | $7,210 |
| Chanel (all models) | 4,249 | $290 – $40,100 | $3,555 |
| Louis Vuitton (all models) | 3,974 | $160 – $70,000 | $1,300 |
| Cartier Love | 212 | $790 – $50,100 | $5,085 |
| Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra | 260 | $1,630 – $79,100 | $3,020 |
| Gucci (all models) | 1,476 | $100 – $5,360 | $1,000 |
| Christian Dior (all models) | 1,040 | $170 – $25,000 | $1,980 |
All figures in AUD. Your payout depends on the model, condition, inclusions and current market demand — email us for an exact quote.
Consignment — we photograph, price, market and sell the item for you over a six-week listing period, and you keep the majority of the sale price. If it does not sell you can collect it free of charge, reduce the price, or take a direct purchase offer.
Direct purchase — if you want money now, we will make you an outright offer and pay by bank transfer once the item passes authentication.
Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Rolex, Prada, Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, Celine, Loewe, Fendi and Bulgari, plus most recognised luxury houses. See our full list of accepted designers.

Perth has one of the thinnest local resale markets in the country, which is exactly why selling into a national buyer base matters. Our Perth consignors typically achieve materially more than a local consignment store can offer, because the item is marketed to buyers in every state. We regularly take items from Perth CBD, Subiaco, Claremont, Cottesloe, Nedlands and Fremantle.
Yes. We accept consignments from Perth and all of Western Australia. Everything is handled by email and tracked, insured courier — you never need to travel.
The courier cost is at your expense, but our negotiated freight rates are well below retail, and every parcel is tracked and insured in transit. We send exact instructions after you accept a quote.
The market is national, so you get the same figure you would in Melbourne. Our median consignor payout on a Chanel Classic Flap is $7,210 and on a Cartier Love bracelet it is $5,085. Email photos to quote.tpa@gmail.com for an exact quote within 24 hours.
You can have it returned, reduce the price, or accept an outright purchase offer. There are no listing fees either way.
Bank transfer, on dispatch — as soon as the item sells and leaves us, not when the buyer receives it.
Email photos of your item to quote.tpa@gmail.com — front, back, interior, base, serial or date code, and any areas of wear. We reply with a consignment and a direct purchase figure within 24 hours. No obligation, no fees to list.
We accept consignments nationwide: Melbourne, Doncaster, Melbourne CBD, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and everywhere else in Australia.
