Sell & Consign Luxury Designer Pieces from Sydney

Australia's Largest Authenticated Preloved Luxury Retailer — Servicing Sydney Clients

The Purse Affair is Melbourne-based and works with clients across Australia, including Sydney, who are looking to sell, consign, or source authentic luxury designer pieces. While we don't have a physical presence in Sydney, our process is designed to make distance irrelevant — secure insured couriers, online valuations within 24 hours, and a seamless end-to-end service.

Helping Sydney's Luxury Community

Sydney is home to some of Australia's most discerning luxury collectors. From the heritage terraces of Double Bay and Woollahra to the harbourside residences of Mosman and Vaucluse, from the North Shore through to the CBD — we work with Sydney clients who expect discretion, expertise, and premium results.

Many of our Sydney consignors come to us because they've outgrown the local resale options. They want their Hermès Birkin or Chanel Classic Flap presented in a trusted, authenticated environment with genuine reach — not lost on a marketplace listing. Our buyer network spans Australia and overseas, giving your piece the visibility it deserves.

What We Buy & Consign

We work with Sydney clients selling pieces from the world's most prestigious houses:

• Hermès — Birkin, Kelly, Constance, and all leather goods. Sydney's strong Hermès community means we regularly receive Birkin 25s, Kelly 28s, and Constance 24s from Eastern Suburbs clients.
• Chanel — Classic Flap, Boy, Coco Handle, 19, WOC, and Chanel fine jewellery
• Louis Vuitton — Neverfull, Capucines, Twist, Dauphine, and limited edition collaborations
• Dior — Lady Dior, Saddle, Book Tote, 30 Montaigne
• Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Rolex — fine jewellery and luxury watches
