Preloved fan right here 🙋🏻♀️ Are you? ♥️ If Preloved isn’t your thing, no worries, to each their own 💕 Sharing my faves when it comes to selection, descriptions and pricing 🙌🏻 Thank you so much for watching 💋
Minks4All don’t you have Reebonz in US? It’s huge in Asia & Australia.
Yes!!! 🙌🏼 I’ve gotten a few unicorn that were LE and I couldn’t have purchased in store. I always authenticate to be safe. And I did save money off retail on an Alma BB Epi Denim- brand new but seller was really motivated and I saved 300. I’ll take it! ❤️
I love new but my I LOVE pre-loved. Amazing video. Your always informed and I greatly appreciate your input.
@Minks4All After you purchased a Preloved bag from Fashionphile, do you recommend to get it authenticated again with Real Authentication? Thanks!
I just received my first fashionphile purchase, a vintage Speedy 30 monogram and it is an impeccable condition! She's right about their rating system because I expected to get an older looking bag and the thing looks brand-new, no joke.
Minnie! Loved this video! I use Fashionphile a lot because of their layaway plan. It is just convenient for a luxury lover like me to pay off an item when i don’t have full funds readily available! It just works out beautifully!
Jennifer Blue I do too! Isn't it awesome?!
I have purchased 2 bags from Fashionphile, one LV and one Dior, and both were in better condition than stated and a good price. I feel so comfortable buying with their return policy and I also love their customer service. Like anything else you have to do your homework when making a purchase. Some items are priced higher than the boutique, and those I do not buy from them. They also gave a very fair price when I sold an item to them. They give you a label for free shipping and I had my money in my account 2 days after they received it. They are always the first place I check for a preloved items. (But I also have trouble getting notifications so it's not you :))
They offered me $1200 for my Maui Neverfull MM with pochette & samorga organizer, dust bag & box. This bag was used minimally & looks new & there was only 250 made. I sold it privately for $2350.
Is it me or there are some items on Fashionphile that are more expensive than buying direct from the boutique/online boutique?
Yep their artsy bag and the key pouch I always thought that made no sense
I was thinking at the same thing! A 245$ in the L.V. website was 450 in fashionphile that was weird
I feel the same way, I have been searching for the round coin purse and right before it was discontinued, I saw it for $260 and they are selling it close to $600, I mean seriously. It so sad because i had a chance to buy it from Louis but thought I had time and didn't know it was going out of style. 🥺 The thing that bother me the most is that the item is used, why would someone have the heart to charge a price more than the boutique. ☹
Yup that’s why I haven’t used fashionphile - the hiked up prices are ridiculous.
I am only buying from Japan resellers, the prices are good or a steal 🤩 and the auctions are the best ...
Excellent! I was just about to search this very topic and then you posted this video. Thanks!
This was SO helpful, thank you!!!! I couldn't ask for more/better info!
Yes, please do a video on where you sell your items. I'd also recommend Ann's Fabulous Finds for pre-loved items. I've purchased from them and was very happy.
What an informative video. I certainly appreciate your tips and experience. Very generous of you to take the time!
Excellent video. Just confirmed a lot of things that I was thinking or do. Much appreciated.
After school specials were great...lol and so is the knowledge and videos you share💕💕
I had purchased two items in the past from TheRealReal, but when I was about to make my third and most expensive purchase (Valentino Rock Stud bag) I noticed that the description said something about a damaged clasp. I couldn't see anything damaged on the pictures, so I emailed them my question. It was the first time I had ever asked a question of them. After a week, I emailed back saying 'hi, haven't heard back from you", and still nothing. But about two weeks after my initial email, I got an email with more pictures - but none of my questions were addressed or answered, and the additional pictures were not of the issue I asked about. Ugh. So my confidence in them made a huge nose-dive, and I don't even browse their site anymore. Now I stick to Fashionphile.
Hi hun... totally agree with u about Fashionphile. YES...do the other video!!!😘
Such a helpful video Minnie!! Thank you very much for your doing this for us!!! You are so sweet! I totally agree with you on be patient! It’s so hard on the waiting game! And love that triple authenticate, it’s a must!!! Have a beautiful day Love!😘♥️
I've purchased preloved and I think it is great when an item discontinues and you are unable to get it. However, I have steered away for a few reasons. Great tips to reconsider though. Have a great day huni ♥
Thanks for all the advice and information! I have always been on the fence about using Fashionphile, even though all I ever hear are good things. I was always just a browser and follower of their items, but I was too nervous to go though with a purchase. I watched your video this morning while getting ready- your new ones are always first on my list when you post- and I so appreciate your insight and I started to really consider going through with buying something from them. Today I discovered one of the items I've been following had dropped in price and with my birthday right around the corner, my husband said told me to go for it...and I did!!! I'm so, so, so excited! Thanks for always offering your very honest and helpful opinions. It's why your channel is my very favorite!
I love pre-love market. I normally purchase items that has very low resale value. Now I’m waiting for Chanel reissue. Really good information. Awesome video ❤️
OMG I LOVE your hair curled and wavy! bring such life to your face! I love to browse fashionphile for more pictures and items not available in the boutiques anymore...
Preloved fan here too!!! Thank you for your videos!!
Thanks for sharing. I am closer to saving enough for my most wanted bag right now... especially if I go for one that's preloved. Hence, the heavy anxiety I've been feeling lately. 😕 I do appreciate you sharing this information with us and I've saved it to a file once I calm down a bit I need to revisit this video. I find it so unbelievably that so many ladies and gentlemen share so much while helping others ESPECIALLY when they don't have to. Love you so much Minnie for this.😘💕
OMG, holy grail, you just made me buy a bag. LOL :D I never thought of these pre-loved ones, I always had to see myself before big purchases. Your video opened my eyes and I just tried at Yoogi's Closet and I had to click "checkout". Cant wait to receive what I clicked for!! Thank you so much!!
My Gucci’s and Chanel SLG’s are all preloved. 🤗 And they’re awesome! My first Chanel, well any I ever buy, will be preloved for sure. I so agree on Fashionphile ‘s customer service. There was a small hiccup on a bag I was selling to them and they were amazingly helpful.
This is so helpful because I want to start buying preloved, thank you 💕
Thank you for sharing with us your prelove good info. It's very helpful and informative.
Just as I was contemplating to compromise on an item, I saw this video and your advice, PATIENCE. I decided to wait out for what I really want :) Thanks!
Thank you, this video helped a lot! I’ve never bougjt anything preloved but have been eyeing a couple of things lately! The alerts from fashionphile never work for me either but the yoogi’s closet’s do! Yoogi’s also has good sales on sale items too sometimes! I’m saving up for a pink chanel flap! 😍 You look fabulous as always! xoxo
Loved your tips! I just did a video like this myself and always find it super interesting to hear the tips from everyone!!
I agree with what you said about The Real Real about the photos. I bought a beautiful Prada belt and in the description it said it had a few wear marks, but they weren’t pictured! When I got it I was a little disappointed, but I still love it
Thanks Minnie. Very helpful insight💜
I recently purchased a jewelry box for you purse 👛I vintage LV! Love it. (Fashionphile)
I absolutely love Fashionphile. I have purchased multiple items from them and have never had any issues. Especially the SLG were like new and they come with all the things you get in the-boutique(except the bag lol) but it’s so worth it! Sometimes they are over priced but more on those items that are hard to find or discontinued and let’s face it their a business looking to make money right? So I appreciate that.
“Super after school special of me”😂 You crack me up, girlie!!
I know and Bag lady LOL
Happy Thursday Minnie! 😘
Fab video! 👍
Great topic even you haven’t much pre
Loved items, i own 4/5 handbags from fashionphile and i love it !!! I only buy chanel on preloved route for me is insane the ammount of money for a handbag, yes the detail, the craftsmanship, the name, the luxe but common is a handbag, and yes i love it, buuuut is INSANE, and most insane is the prices go up, and up, and up, and not the same quality, great video as usual !!!
Great information about the pre love market. Have a great day.
Great video. Your comments about limited description on Real Real is on point. I have been wanting to buy a Hermes custom bracelet, but their sizing is all the same. I know my size but they list it as one size only. Also, as soon as I open up the website, I see a lot of items sold out. I don't know how such expensive items are sold right away. Real Real has a store in San Francisco and Southern California, Century City. As far as Yoogi's closet, they have good return policy but their bags are outdated. My favorite is Vestiaire Collectives, but anything over 800 dollars have custom fees. I also found out that some of their prices are really reasonable. Thanks for the information.
I just got the Material World Box and I absolutely love it! I got a beautiful pair of Gucci sunglasses and beautiful clothes. I like that you can feel/view/try on items and make a decision within four days. I’m excited for my next box because they nailed my style this month.
Just thought I’d let other people who like pre-loved fashion and accessories know!
Hi Minnie! Do you wait until you have your preloved item before you send more images to the Authenticator (since you can return it) or do you ask the company for more images prior to purchasing? 😊
Great tips! Very good advice! Xoxo
I’ve bought many items preloved! I still can find brand new items!! And thats my favourite reason to buy preloved
Thank you for sharing. Great tips. Do you authenticate before or after you make the purchase? Also, will you buy a bag that has ink marks inside? Popped stitches? Scuffed corners? Appreciate you Linda
Waiting for my Fashionphile delivery tomorrow...a Chanel red maxi, gold hardware.
For the Fashionphile alerts system: I noticed one time when I went in to my list of alerts, I noticed that they ended up getting reset after a certain time frame so you have to turn them back on to continue getting them. Maybe that’s what happened?
Hi, I’m thinking of buying a pre loved Louis, the bag has some smoothing of the monogram canvas , you don’t really notice it . Do you think the canvas would crack after a bit of use ?
Hi Minnie, what's the best material cleaner for a purse/wallet because I have stains on my bag.
Good info Minnie, have a great day!
I have had great experience with Fashionphile! Buying & selling. Very quick responses when I emailed them.
How does fashionphile compare with Rebag and the real real? I’ve never bought pre loved before but would love to try it. Have my eyes on the fendi zucca
Thank you for this video!
I love Fashionphile. Not only are they my preferred purchasing site, but my favorite to sell as well. Unlike TheRealReal, which mainly consigns, Fashionphile always gives me a competitive rate to purchase out right. I did have one experience in which it took a long time for them to authenticate on their end, but that was also around the holidays, so they were busy. I've made a few successful purchases from TRR. I would also not rule out Vestiare, but they have the most cons, in my opinion. The import costs are high to US, their pictures aren't great, and I've been warned by the Hermes FB group that they have problems with fakes, so bababebi is recommended. That having been said, I bought an Evelyne through them that I absolutely love.
Have a lovely day!!!
Thanks for sharing. Yeah i do really worried at times if i were to go the Preloved route whether the bags are authentic or not. Furthermore preloved although is much cheaper but still lots of money. I am going to get my first LV from the boutique for my B'day soon.
Do the preloved sites ever include the original dustbag? Ive seen a few unboxing videos and the item is always in the sites dust bag?
I have been very lucky because here in Hawaii a lot of people have ALOT of money lol and get rid of amazing goodies! I was able to purchase my Louis Vuitton SpeedyB 25 for only $700 and it was only used once and then last week I purchased my Josephine with Rose Ballerine for only $200, I was so excited, they were off Craigslist lol SKETCHY but I met the women at a purse boutique here in Hawaii and had them authenticated and they even paid for the service. I haven't yet tried fashionphile, I don't want to fall in love lmao! Great video as always Minnie!
Hi Minnie, I just purchased a year 2000-2002 Chanel Classic Flap in M/L pre-loved, this bag is absolutely beautiful but it did not include a Dust bag or a Box. Should I search online in places such as ebay for the bag and box? Don't know how to authenticate a dustbag or a box.
i’m so early yasss minnie
I’ve never purchased pre loved but I want a Wapity so bad! I always miss them on fashionphile so I just set an alert for them on yoogi’s closet.
Good morning Mini I love all ur videos and never missed one , I wanna comment and ask question for next minks Monday Q& A , so if u remember me asking u to weather to get my dream lux item and most expensive one on my list the Rolex watch or the Hermès Kelly 28 in black GHW and I went with ur advise and got the Rolex watch 😲💕😍 couldn’t be happier plus it went up in price right after I got it , now I have a 3500$ and I’m torn if I should buy the Chanel mini rectangular in caviar black ghw or the Lv cappuccine B.B. , thank u
Thanks for the info, I was not able to find once upon a time on FB, only the tv program came up 🙃
Fabulous info thanks so much.
Awesome video smiley! ❤️ I shop on Tradesy n therealreal but haven’t with fashionphile yet. 👍🏻 thanks for sharing always.😘😘😘Sandy
I’ve only bought one item from preloved market which was a Gucci fanny pack that isn’t made anymore from tradesy!! I paid $500 for it and the other day I saw on “what goes around nyc” it was for $800... I made a great choice😊
This was really helpful. A video about selling would be great too. I want to sell two items and am not confident about where to start. eBay was a big failure with luxury items and l'm completely over eBay buyers at the moment.
I love Fashionphile and the realreal 😍
Thanks a ton for this help
Minnie, I"ve set alerts and I have had the same experience. I never get it! When you get the answer it would be great-thx!
another thing I like about Yoogi's Closet is that they put how many percent discount you get from the current retail price of the item. (totally replying as I watch this vid hehe)
Hi. Been binge watching your videos. Love it. What do you think of the pre loved bags sold at tradesy? Have you ever purchased from that site? Thanks 😊
Hi, I would love to know what would be a good site to sell luxury items and some information on the fees if you know.. thank you I love your channel. You always give great advice. 💖
Hi Minnie, how often do you switch out your bags? I.e. every week,monthly etc. Can u do a video on bag of the week. Thank u, love your videos.
Fashionphile is great but it’s too expensive. Plus tax in California. I’d rather buy new.
Some items even above retail value, just as chanel mini. Not sure how fashionphile justify that.
Elaine Chai I agree. I was looking for a chanel classic card holder. Retails for $475. I called my chanel sA and she had one in the leather I wanted and silver hardware. On fashionphile they’re charging well over $600.
Not uncommon for Fashionphile. Price scalping is not cool.
From what I have seen, the items that go for above retail price are usually the "hot" items, i.e. either things from a new collection that are hard to get a hold of (these are usually new, so I'm guessing they have buyers that get these things for them) - an example of this would be Hermes bags, or items from a previous collection that are rare and have become quite desirable (for example the "rose gold" classic flap that Chanel came out with a few years ago that has become very sought after in the pre-loved market). It does kind of suck that they do this, but as long as the demand for these items remains high (and the supply remains limited), they will be able to continue doing it. If someone is willing to pay several thousands above retail price for a sought-after or collectible bag (that was already expensive to begin with), then surely a company will jump at the chance to make more money.
I’m buying a Tahittiene toiletry 26 for 795 in excellent condition with the box and dust bag everyone else is selling from 900 all the way to 2000 so hey 👀❤️can’t beat it
Do you by chance have a website reference to get a base price msrp for a pre-loved item? There are so many price variations on the pre loved market. How do you know when you are getting a good deal? 🤷🏽♀️
My go to for all preloved items are Fashionphile, Dallas Designer Handbags, and Ebay (I have two trusted sellers from Japan). On a few occasions I have shopped with LXR&Co and Tradesy with great success.
Michele Hall do you mind sharing which two trusted Japanese sellers you buy from?
Rose Hi... I purchased my preloved items from Next-Innovation and Japan.hide.
Great video:) and yaaaaasss please share your selling tips! I'm trying to sell a few bags and save for my 1st Chanel! So far Fashionphile has been the best price for my items due to the 20% on Tradsey .. also lots of low ballers! My bags are pristine with boxes and receipts!!!
Hi Minnie! Thanks for the info! xoxo
How do you find a specific year the bag wAs made. Would I be able to ding one from 1962? 😳
Or 1985 speedy?
Have you tried LXR? Their customer service was excellent and they have the little tag policy too. But I’d give it a try! They have bags all over the country in retail stores and you can actually call the store and speak to the person and ask about a specific bag.
cindy greene I stumbled across LXR&Co shopping in Century 21 in NY. Even though I didn't buy anything at the time (I was getting over the shock of something like LXR being in the store) I perused their site. Made a couple of purchases from them.
Hey gorgeous how are you doing today? You are looking stunning honnnnnetttttt😂😂Love the insight on this topic hun, much love to you,🙋🏾💋💋💋🦋
Hi Minks thank you for your informative video. Ive never tried buying from preloved market because first of all I dont know how to and secondly Im scared but Im so eager to try. How can I authenticate the item? I dont live in the US and I barely know if there is any authentication services where Im from. Please give me advise because I really really want to find the bag I ve been searching for a long time. Take care and more power to you!!
Thank you so much Ms. beautiful lovely Minnie for sharing great information❤️❤️❤️.. I love Fashionphile but here in our country we don’t have. There is also some preloved market here in the Philippines but it’s not the same as Fashionphile. I will try to order at Fashionphile or Yoogis Closet because you gave them a wonderful reviews. Thank you so much Ms. Minnie 😍❤️💖💞😘
I'm so scared now because I just made my first Preloved purchase ever and used Poshmark yesterday! 😩 I hope it wasn't a mistake!!! I will have to let you know what happens. It's a Louis Vuitton Cite' GM that I have wanted for a long time. Now all I can do is sit and wait for it to arrive. I'm totally freaking out! Thanks for steering me in the right direction for the future though! Any advice on what I should do when I get it? Should I have it authenticated? They guarantee the authenticity but are they reputable, does anyone know? TIA 😊
Great video😘
yay!
I am looking into getting a preloved LV cosmetic bag and looks like I’m going to be getting it from fashionphile🙊
Hi Mindy, I was looking for a Speedy 35, monogram. $1180 new but paid $485. Almost new condition ‘99 Beautiful bag. Needed a rivet but LV Store had to send to LA. 😮. Also bought new LV gold bag charm I have really wanted it forever... preloved market over $500, paid $315.
I was wondering where the outlet store was on the app it’s a little hard to get to.
When purchasing a preloved item the return policy must be including in my opinion. There is not only wear and tear or authenticity issue we need to deal with. No matter how many pictures or how many authentications you got before you make the purchasing you can’t find the odor of the item until you get it in hand. It’s hassle. I personally can’t accept any unusual odors including perfume. The return policy always gives you peace of mind.
Hi..Love your video as usual..always do. Hugs
I scored a vintage LV speedy 35 in good shape for 595 bucks !!
Besides Real Authentication, can you suggest other company that perform such works.
My absolute favorite (and unicorn bag) was from a Japanese seller and (as shown in my most recent video) the LV Roxbury Drive in Amarante Vernis leather. This was such a great video Minnie, thank you for sharing. A question for Minks Monday is: what do you thinks of the PVC craze especially the smaller PVC handbags. They are literally everywhere!! Lots of love, Mimi xxx
Oh gosh. I had this bag and sold it for 400£ a few years back. One of my biggest regrets. I love that bag now
Great video :)
Ohhh. I thought all of the items were bought in store brand new!! The feeling of buying a brand new straight from the Store is completely different! Anyway thanks for showing
How do you feel about 1stdibs?
Minnie, Have you ever tried Ann's Fabulous Finds...I've had amazing luck with her, especially finding my Unicorns. Just FYI
Would you/anyone recommend vestiare collective? What are your opinions about the site? Thanks!
I was wondering the same thing, john byro.
Amen sista! Preach! ❤️❤️pre loved❤️❤️🖤🖤fashionphile 🖤🖤💙💙ebay💙💙💖💖mink4all💖💖🔐🔐in store🔐🔐is great too
I've had 7 fashionphile alerts set up for months and never got an email. Finally I just added one for neverful, and still never got any alerts. It's them not us!
Where can I buy lv neverful. Thank u.
Any Facebook groups any of you recommend? I'd love to hang among like-minded individuals and have my questions answered by people with more experience. I have been binging on this type of video and it's amazing what I have learned. It totally shaped how I was looking at designer bags before. Thank you all for your contributions!
I like pre-loved for some items because the quality with Chanel for example is not there anymore. Their items from the past seem better quality so I tend to go the pre-loved route with Chanel. There is usually not too much of a difference for me price-wise between buying new and pre-loved esp when paying taxes etc but I really feel the older bags were just made better. And when I say old, I'm not referring to vintage, but bags from even 3 or 4 years ago seem better quality.
I saved $2,255 on my excellent condition tricolor Celine micro on Fashionphile, enough said.
