ABOUT DB
OWN YOUR ICONS
Certified luxury. Curated for you.
DesignerbagZ was founded with one clear message: empowerment.
We believe in giving you back control, the confidence and knowledge to navigate the pre-loved luxury market with clarity and certainty. We are the only platform in this segment to offer independent third-party certification in addition to our own in-house authentication by experienced experts.
Each certificate issued by an external authenticator is verifiable both before and after purchase, essential for your own peace of mind and due diligence, and valuable if you ever decide to pass your piece on to another collector.
But it doesn’t stop at authentication. With every purchase, you gain meaningful insight. We want you to own your piece with pride. Each designer bag is more than an accessory: it’s a statement of knowledge, certainty, and empowerment. This is certified luxury with purpose, where circular elegance meets personal empowerment.
Certified luxury only
We focus on certified, investment-worthy icons, often discontinued or difficult to find elsewhere. From hardware variations to limited colorways, each piece is thoughtfully curated for its enduring quality, timeless appeal, and long-term investment value. This results in a refined selection of icons you’ll wear with pride, enduring pieces that elevate your wardrobe and reflect conscious ownership.
We primarily focus on more recent models; refined, timeless, and maintained in excellent condition. While iconic vintage pieces may occasionally appear, our curation reflects today’s standards of luxury and longevity. Many items include full original packaging, accessories, and documented provenance. And every piece is guaranteed authentic for life.
Our Core Values: Quality, Authenticity, Service
At DesignerbagZ, everything we do is rooted in three core values:
- Uncompromising quality.
- Proven authenticity.
- Meaningful service.
You’ll feel and see these principles in every detail. We offer only pieces you’ll wear with pride. Icons that retain their value in both craftsmanship and credibility.
Authenticity is guaranteed and backed for life. Service, to us, means more than support: it means guidance, assurance, accessibility, and care in every detail, right down to the unboxing experience.
Our process is fully transparent, and we offer expert guidance at every stage. Even when you’re shopping elsewhere, because true empowerment is our purpose.
The People Behind DesignerbagZ
DesignerbagZ began from a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, iconic design, and meaningful finds, always with an eye on the future. But more than style, it was about restoring autonomy in a market often clouded by doubt.
Driven by years of experience in the high-end luxury world, we’ve developed an instinct for rarity, quality, and provenance. After years of private collecting and informal guidance, the turning point came when we realized how many buyers lacked access to verified luxury and how much misinformation dominated the resale space.
What started as passion became our mission: to build a platform where elegance meets education, empowering clients with ownership, clarity, and confidence that extend far beyond the purchase. A new standard in the world of pre-loved icons.

Step 1
Curation
Every journey begins with selection, and ours is anything but random. Each piece is handpicked for its iconic status, enduring value, and exceptional condition. We source exclusively from verified, reputable suppliers with clear provenance and documented history. Only bags that meet our highest standards, in origin, condition, and significance, earn a place in our collection.
A handbag is more than a statement, it’s an investment in your personal style, your future, and the world around you.
Our timeless collection includes rare, globally sourced pieces that carry not just elegance, but circular significance.

Practical example
Each step is followed by a practical example — tracing how it applies to a certified Chanel Timeless Classic: Small Double Flap in deep pink caviar leather (often perceived as deep red in natural light), finished with silver hardware, reference code A0113.
Step 2
In-House Inspection
Every bag is meticulously examined by our in-house experts, professionals with years of hands-on experience in luxury handbag authentication.
More than 20 critical elements are assessed, including stitching precision, serial codes, logo placement, leather grain, hardware construction, closure function, and dozens more.
This step is more than routine. It is a refined discipline, one we take genuine pride in.
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Practical example
During our in-house inspection, we identified minor traces of red paint inside the turn-lock button. The leather also showed a faint pink transfer during a cotton swab test — indicating a subtle touch-up.
step 3
Independent Authentication
True luxury deserves absolute certainty.
Once a bag passes our in-house inspection, it is submitted for independent authentication by internationally recognized experts. For Chanel, this includes Zeko; a leading authority frequently referenced by collectors, auction houses, and publications such as The Wall Street Journal and Daily Mail.
Hermès pieces are authenticated by Bababebi a globally respected specialist known for over a decade of experience serving collectors, resellers, auction houses, and legal authorities across six continents. Her expert opinions have been accepted in dispute resolutions by courts, banks, and platforms like PayPal and eBay, reinforcing her position as the benchmark in Hermès authentication.
DesignerbagZ makes use of the same authenticators trusted by auction houses and high-end resale platforms like Sotheby’s and eBay. Their name appears on the certificate, and their judgment is final.
An independent certificate isn’t just confirmation; it’s neutral, professional proof that safeguards your investment, supports insurance claims, and elevates resale potential.
Each certificate is issued per item and included with your purchase.
It provides lifetime verification and a permanent authenticity record; respected, verifiable, and guaranteed.
We maintain full transparency throughout. Buyers are welcome to request third-party authentication of their own choice before purchase. To support this, we offer unlimited additional photos and 360° video upon request.
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Practical example
The bag was submitted to Zeko Authentication for independent verification. This process requires an extensive photo set and, in most cases, results are returned within 24–48 hours. Among the required images are magnified detail shots of hardware elements, like the zipper — examined for construction precision, alignment, and material consistency.
step 4
Certificate of authenticity
Once approved, each item is issued a certificate of authenticity directly from the third-party expert. This certificate is unique to the bag and serves as lifelong proof of authenticity, ownership, and value.
It’s more than reassurance.
A certified bag holds significantly higher resale value, is easier to insure, and attracts serious buyers, even without a sales history.
Certificates from leading authenticators are internationally recognised and accepted in legal disputes, insurance claims, and premium resale platforms.
Each certificate is always verifiable prior to purchase through the issuing authenticator.
Every bag in our collection is certified before it appears on our platform.
We go beyond in-house checks: DesignerbagZ is the only platform in the global pre-loved luxury market that includes independent third-party certification as standard. This extra step guarantees authenticity, secures long-term value, and ensures absolute confidence in every purchase.
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Practical example
Zeko confirmed the item as authentic. The certificate for this exact bag is verifiable via code 2657576.
step 5
Realistic Product Photography
Every bag is captured in high resolution under professional LED lighting, revealing all visible details, from subtle signs of wear to expert restoration. Our images are part of the product description, supported by precise, factual listings.
We often exceed expectations, clients often remark that their piece is even more impressive in person.
This level of honest presentation sets the tone for everything we do. It’s why trust lasts.
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
Practical example
All findings, including the touch-up, are clearly disclosed under “Special Notes” on the product page. High-resolution photos ensure full transparency. Where relevant, we notify the supplier to maintain traceability.
Step 6

Each order is thoughtfully wrapped and arrives with its certificate, invoice folder, and a refined presentation, complete with a curated gift to elevate the moment. Delivery is fast, insured, and discreet. Always handled by trusted premium couriers with same-day dispatch on all orders placed before 3 PM.
