Vestiaire Collective reselling: prepare designer pieces

Start with evidence of the actual item

Retain credible purchase records and record the item’s brand, model where known, measurements and condition. Photograph the details relevant to that item: labels, hardware, lining, stitching, wear and any included accessories. Do not present a generic authenticity checklist as a guarantee; different brands and product types require different checks.

Read Vestiaire Collective’s listing instructions

The platform’s official listing help explains how to submit an item. Confirm the rules, review process and delivery options applicable to your account. Never promise that a listing will be accepted or that a particular item will pass a platform check.

What to ask a designer supplier

Request photos and evidence of origin for the actual goods on offer. Clarify whether accessories belong to the original item, whether repairs or alterations have been made, and what the supplier will do if the item is incorrectly described. A vendor using the phrase “Vestiaire Collective supplier” is not necessarily affiliated with Vestiaire Collective. SOURCED is independent of the platform and the named brands.

Make condition visible

Describe marks, corner wear, missing pieces and other flaws accurately. Photographs and text should agree. If the model or age is uncertain, do not invent it for the listing. Compare items of similar condition when estimating a price, and keep all applicable platform costs in your calculation.

Explore sourcing information responsibly

The Designer Wallet & Bag Supplier product is digital supplier information, not a sale of the pictured designer goods. The Authentication Checklist is an educational resource, not a certification service. Review the supplier checklist and compare other marketplaces before choosing your channel.
