The Way it Works
THE CONCEPT
PRELOVED PERFECTION is a fresh and modern online marketplace where you can buy and sell luxury pre-loved designer fashion, shoes, handbags, accessories and jewellery, both costume and fine. With sustainability at the forefront of everyone's minds, it is becoming more and more important to buy less, but buy well. We should all be carefully considering what we add to our wardrobe, only buying items we absolutely adore. We also try to only use recycled boxes to send out all of our products. This is the philosophy at the heart of PRELOVED PERFECTION.
Why Buy From PRELOVED PERFECTION?
I sell everything from current season unworn items, to iconic haute couture pieces, and everything else in between, but never fast fashion. To keep standards high, I am very choosy about what I accept. Every item is verified for authenticity, quality, condition and desirability. The carefully chosen selection of designer items sell for a fraction of the original retail price.
As a Fashion Editor of over forty years, my connections are unrivalled. I have a zero tolerance policy for counterfeit or fake items, and if there is any doubt about provenance, the item will be checked with experts within the industry. Any items determined to be fake will either be destroyed or returned to the owner at their prepaid expense. Please read the Authenticity and Condition page.
Each professionally photographed item is portrayed alongside a selection of street style photographs from Pinterest featuring some the world's most iconic, sophisticated, and stylish women, famous or completely unknown. This style inspiration reveals how anyone could make a pre-loved or vintage item relevant in their own wardrobe.
The regular Style and Fashion blogs, can be found under The Style Edit section, and will be the perfect place to search for inspiration on how to wear outfits in a contemporary way. They are an intrinsic part of the ethos for learning how to build a versatile and stylish wardrobe filled with forever pieces.
Buying preloved is now seen as the clever, intelligent and chic way to buy as the desire and need for sustainability within the luxury sphere is becoming more and more apparent. Over the last few years customers have been dramatically changing the way they shop. Be a valuable part of this growing campaign to eradicate waste and promote sustainability by buying preloved.
I do accept returns, however, Terms & Conditions do apply. Please go to the Returns Policy page for full information.
Why Sell With PRELOVED PERFECTION
Of course, the plan is to sell your items at the highest possible price within the first 30 days. All prices are set according to designer, item type, age, condition, desirability and the original price of the item where known. Depending on the item's condition I recommend you reduce the original price by 40-70 %. If you aren't sure how much to charge for your item, don't worry, I am always available to discuss this matter.
Those luxury designer items languishing in your wardrobe may have an incredible resale value, which will happily refresh your bank balance.
