Love Luxury, pre-owned luxury resale in Knightsbridge

Love Luxury is a British establishment specialising in the buying and selling of pre-owned luxury items, also known as "pre-loved". Its activity focuses on handbags, watches and jewellery from brands such as Hermès, Chanel, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels. The company presents itself as one of the leading names in the pre-owned luxury market in the United Kingdom and states that it has been serving this sector for fifteen years.

The founders, Adam and Emily Abraham, have accumulated more than fifteen years dedicated to bringing authentic luxury items to buyers, according to the company's own information. Its operational base is located at 48 Beauchamp Place, in the London district of Knightsbridge.

Buying handbags, watches and jewellery

The shop's catalogue is organised into three main categories: handbags, watches and jewellery. In handbags, the offering includes pieces from Hermès and Chanel. In watches, brands such as Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Richard Mille and Cartier are featured. The jewellery section brings together creations from Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels.

Among the items shown at the time of analysis are a Hermès Kelly 28 Noir in Togo leather with palladium hardware, a Hermès Mini Kelly Bleu Brume in Chevre leather with gold hardware, a Hermès Kelly 25 Broderie Collage Noir in Swift Sellier leather with palladium hardware, a Chanel Jumbo Double Classic Flap black in Caviar leather with silver hardware, several Rolex (Datejust 31, Submariner Date Bluesy 41, Sky-Dweller 42 and Daytona Cosmograph 40) and pieces from Van Cleef & Arpels from the Vintage Alhambra and Magic Alhambra collections in yellow or rose gold, with grey mother-of-pearl, malachite, onyx or blue agate motifs.

Selling and appraising pre-owned pieces

The company also buys luxury items from individuals. According to its description, it offers instant appraisals in thirty minutes for most "preloved" assets, such as Hermès Birkin handbags, Rolex watches, Chanel and Van Cleef & Arpels pieces. Love Luxury states that it can pay between £200 and £500,000 in a single transaction using alternative methods.

The selling process described by the company consists of four steps: completing a form with details and images to obtain a more accurate quote, booking an appointment — with the possibility of a same-day appointment —, submitting the piece to a full inspection by a specialist appraiser and receiving payment, which is made only by bank transfer.

The company also offers international consignment, as listed among its services.

Authentication and trust

Love Luxury emphasises its authentication process. It states that its founders have the knowledge and judgement to distinguish the authenticity of pieces, and warns that expensive imitations, even when accompanied by store receipts, do not pass their examination. The company presents itself as a trusted player in the British pre-owned luxury market.
