Good news for all my thrifty friends out there, as of today, eBay Australia has expanded its Authenticity Guarantee service to pre-loved and new luxury handbags listed for over $350. Yep, that’s right — eBay is keen to give designer bag-loving Aussies peace of mind when shopping for luxury handbags by implementing a very thorough authentication process on a range of designer brands, including Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada that are being re-sold on the platform. So you won’t be getting stitched up ever again.
According to Brooke Eichhorn, the Head of Luxury at eBay Australia, “A handbag is listed every two minutes on ebay.com.au and Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada among our top brands purchased, luxury handbags have never been more in demand — whether making an investment purchase or looking for a rare vintage find. The biggest trend we’re seeing is a Y2K resurgence, as well as double-digit growth in brands like Fendi, Gucci and Saint Laurent over the last two years.
