FAQ - Buying

Where do you source your range of pre-owned designer handbags and accessories?

All of our bags come from our customers, each bag goes through a strict buying process and is then cleaned before being placed on our website. We do occasionally carry out small superficial repairs prior to selling an item to ensure out bags are in the best possible condition.

Do you provide proof of authenticity?

A receipt from Handbag Clinic is considered proof of authenticity as all of our items go through a rigorous authentication process. Each item is checked by three different members of our skilled Buying Team before being placed for sale online and in store. For more information regarding how we authenticate the most popular brands at Handbag Clinic please visit our authentication blog.
