Borrow against your designer handbag, from the Hermès Birkin to iconic Chanel pieces. Loans available online, in London and UK wide.
Pawning your designer handbag is simple. Get a quote, send or bring your bag in, and our specialists will confirm a final valuation. We then keep it safe in our highly secure vaults and return it to you when your handbag loan is repaid.
We always welcome walk ins, though for high value bags we recommend booking an appointment. For security reasons, we recommend bringing your handbag in its original box, carried inside a discreet, unbranded bag. We have three showrooms in London and office locations nationwide, with private rooms or booths for clients. If you are short on time, you can receipt your handbag in store and complete the rest of the process remotely.
If you cannot or would rather not travel, all our handbag courier options are fully insured against loss, theft and damage in transit, with money reaching you within 24 to 72 hours. Use our interactive tool to see which options are available where you are based. For larger collections, one of our senior valuers can visit you at home.
Our in-house specialists know their Hermès from their Chanel and value each bag accordingly. This is based on its resale value rather than its insurance value, which is standard practice across the industry. We consider four key factors:
Each handbag undergoes a 3rd party authenticity check and is checked against loss and stolen registers as part of our due diligence.
While your handbag is with us, it is in safe hands, our reputation depends on it. Every loan is given a unique reference number, so your handbag is always identifiable and accounted for. It is handled under CCTV, kept in protective packaging and stored in our high security vaults, protected by our state of the art security systems.
Whether it is being valued by our specialists or held under loan, your handbag is given our white glove service, with clean gloves designed for handling handbags worn each time. Everything you hand over is catalogued, and our loan inventory is regularly audited, so it is all returned to you in the same condition we received it.
Something stopped the form from sending. Please check your details and try again. If it still does not work, call us or use WhatsApp and we will help you complete the valuation.
We lend up to 65% of the resale value of your designer handbag, on iconic pieces from houses such as Hermès and Chanel. Every bag is assessed by our specialists and undergoes a third party authenticity check, so your valuation is accurate and fair. Backed by an institutional private equity company, we can fund high value loans quickly. If you would rather not borrow, we are also designer handbag buyers and can purchase your bag outright.

A few practical tips to help you get the most from your handbag loan and plan your repayment.
Provide the original box, dust bag, receipt and any add-ons such as locks, keys or straps, as a complete bag supports a higher offer.
Value depends on the brand, model, material and condition, and our offers reflect resale value rather than the retail price you paid.
Look after your bag and avoid cleaning it yourself, as marks, wear and amateur repairs can reduce the offer.
Think about how and when you will repay before you borrow, so you can redeem your handbag within or at the end of the loan term.

Everything you need to know about borrowing against your luxury assets.
We primarily lend against Hermès and Chanel handbags. However, you can also pawn handbags with us from other luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Dior and Prada provided they are authentic and meet our minimum loan value of £1,000.
As well as our handbag loans in the UK, you can also sell luxury handbags to us in London and online. We buy and then sell preowned designer handbags in store and online.
The loan value of your handbag depends on the brand and model, its condition, the presence of original documentation, and current market demand, with iconic and limited styles typically achieving higher values.
Yes, your handbags are insured while they are with us in our secure safe, although we always recommend keeping your own insurance policy active while they are with us for the duration of your handbag loan.
The value of how much a pawn shop will lend on a luxury handbag will vary widely depending on the model of handbag. Hermès and Chanel handbags are at the higher range and will often receive up to 60% of their resale value as a handbag loan.
Yes, we will consider offering a loan against your vintage and second hand designer handbags as long as they are authentic and meet our loan requirements.
To get a pawn loan against your handbag, simply get in touch with us and share details and images of your luxury handbag. We will share a pawn handbag offer with you, and once accepted, you can receive the funds immediately.
We buy and sell handbags as well as offering loans against designer bags. However, many UK pawnbrokers like us will only offer loans for bags. Get in touch if you’re looking to sell your designer handbag.
Yes, you can pawn Hermès bags. Hermès handbags have always had a high resale value, which helps when securing a pawn loan. The model is important to the valuation, with a Hermès Himalaya Birkin securing over £200,000 at auction. Our experts watch the market very carefully, and this is reflected in your valuation.
We accept preowned designer handbags as well as bags that are still in their brand wrappings. We will assess your bag for signs of wear and tear and offer a valuation accordingly. A rare, preloved handbag could receive a higher valuation than a less sought-after model in mint condition.
Yes, you can pawn a Chanel handbag, provided it is a real Chanel bag and is in good condition.
Yes, you can pawn your entire handbag collection, with different bags receiving different offers. A crocodile Hermès will be valued at a better price than a leather Gucci, a used Louis Vuitton bag, or a mint condition Stella McCartney. Our valuers use a set of conditions, including brand, model, condition and material, to base their assessment.
Handbags are good investments, and new releases can sometimes be very high in demand and therefore have high handbag pawn shop values. Get in touch for a quote to borrow against your luxury handbag. Handbags do not have to be vintage to be considered as an asset for a loan.
All loans are for 6 months and secured against your luxury assets. Maximum APR (including all fees) 93.21%. Loans may be redeemed at any time during the term. If redeemed early, only the loan amount and accrued monthly interest are payable. Representative Example: £1,000 over 6 months at 6.5% per month (fixed). Total repayable £1,390. Representative APR 93.21%. Risk Warning: If the loan is not repaid, the assets may be sold.
