InstantLuxe: A Fabulous New Shopping Website for Pre-owned Designer Luxury Goods!!

Last week, a fabulous brand new website called InstantLuxe launched in the UK which definitely got me excited so had to share it with you all :)! This brand new site is a fabulous shopping website for authentic pre-owned designer luxury goods. With the amount of fake stuff on the Internet these days, this is one place where you can be reassured that every second hand designer piece is authentic, how great is that??? InstantLuxe is basically the first and only dedicated secure online buyer-seller platform for authentic pre-owned designer luxury goods.

It is the largest platform of its kind across Europe, offering consumers access to over thousands of products, including bags, handbags, wallets, watches, jewellery and accessories from international luxury brands such as Cartier, Chanel, Dior, Hermes and Louis Vuitton.

What makes it unique is that it is the first and only e-commerce buyer-seller platform that works with a team of certified independent professional valuers, to give a guarantee of authenticity to every product sold online.

First established in the fashion capital Paris, home to luxury brands such as Chanel and Dior, InstantLuxe is now available in the UK, so we too can possess some of that French understated glamour and effortless chic, at an affordable price.

Below are just some of the items you can expect to snap up on the site!

I also managed to catch-up with the CEO and co founder Yann Le Floc'h for a quick exclusive interview ...

Enjoy! :)

Tell us a bit about yourself and how the idea of InstantLuxe came abouts?

I’m Yann Le Floc’h, CEO and co-founder of InstantLuxe, which I founded in 2009 in collaboration with Clément Le Chatelier. Until now, consumers who want to buy second-hand luxury branded products online really only have online auction websites to go to. With these they have no independent guarantee whether the product is genuine or not, “authenticity” is based on other users’ opinion, and consumers often run the risk of buying a counterfeit or an item at less-than-average quality. This is when we came up with idea of InstantLuxe. With the InstantLuxe brand consumers are guaranteed the authentic article, not to mention in good, if not new, condition. What makes InstantLuxe unique is that it is the first and only e-commerce buyer-seller platform that works with a team of certified independent professional valuers, who personally handle the product and give a guarantee of authenticity to every product sold online. Each buyer receives a certificate of authenticity and an InstantLuxe seal with their purchase.

What kind of items and price range can one expect to find on the site?

InstantLuxe is the largest online platform exclusively dedicated to pre-owned luxury goods in Europe with over 2,000 items online. This includes leather goods (luggage, handbags, wallets and purses) watches; jewellery (bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings and brooches); and accessories (belts, glasses, scarves, ties, cuff links, pens) from international luxury brands, including Cartier, Chanel, Dior, Hermes and Louis Vuitton. Prices range from anything from £49 up to several thousands.

So how does it actually work?

It’s easy to use to both buy and sell. Vendors place an ad free of charge online and buyers simply search and buy the product. When the sale has been made, the vendor sends it to InstantLuxe where we verify the authenticity of the product. If authentic, it is sent onto the buyer with a certificate of authenticity and the InstantLuxe seal. If the product is deemed to be a counterfeit, the buyer is refunded the entire sum of the purchase. The vendor then receives the payment from InstantLuxe, seven days after the buyer has received the product. InstantLuxe guarantees the payment of the sale, even if the buyer’s funds are blocked.

What has been the most expensive item sold?

The most expensive item sold so far is a Valentino Rossi Master Compressor - Jaeger Lecoultre Watch (Price: 15 600€)

Any future plans or expansions?

We are, of course, looking to expand and grow. For the near future we will be focussing on building the InstantLuxe brand in the UK. We will be telling you more about new developments to the site and other projects very soon – so watch this space!
