Thoughts on buying from fashionpile?

Question ❓ ❔

Hi, would love some advice from here. First time buying a luxury bag used and I have my eye on a Celine micro belt bag. What have everyone’s experience been? And is it really authentic? I see a few that is questionable. For example, the micro size does not come with the bottom bag feet (protectors) yet I see it on a few of the listings and it just looks worn and sloppy. Yet description still says authentic. I would prefer not to send $2K on a bag that’s fake.

Help me out and tell my your experience

Of all the reseller companies (Fashionphile, TRR, Rebag) I trust FP the most

I recently purchased a vintage bag from Fashionphile and later had it authenticated by a third party site and it checked out. Before buying, I heavily researched the bag online to make sure I felt comfortable it was authentic too. Not an expert but made sure I was comfortable based on what characteristics the bag was supposed to have. I recommend doing this and holding out until you find one that looks right to you and is in the condition you want. Keep in mind, some of the pictures of the older, more heavily used bags will give you and idea of how it will age. Then have it authenticated after purchasing. They have a 15 day return policy so if you move fast, you can return it if not satisfied. Good luck!

Thank you! Would you mind sharing who you use for authentication?

I used Legit grails. They were very fast and came back a couple of times asking for more/better pictures which made me feel like they were being diligent in their process.

Love Fashionphile and have bought many things. They have a pretty solid return policy.

Just bought from Fashionphile and did my research on what an authentic bag should look like, I also got it authenticated by Legitgrails. I had a good feelings about the bag when I received it and inspected it myself. Was happy they confirmed it’s legit
