AUTHENTICITY
We guarantee that all our products are authentic. We have developed an extensive authentication process. First, our own experts with years of experience assess the products for authenticity. In addition, we use a renowned external authentication company called Entrupy for a double authenticity check. Every pre-owned designer bag comes with an authenticity certificate. This way, you can be sure that our pre-owned designer items are authentic.
Yes, at Purse Curse, we believe it's incredibly important that all our vintage and pre-owned designer items are authentic. That's why you receive an authenticity certificate with every designer bag, designer accessory, and vintage Chanel piece of jewellery. This way, you can be sure that you are purchasing an authentic designer item.
For the authentication of designer bags and small leather goods, we use Entrupy. For vintage designer jewellery, including vintage Chanel jewellery, we collaborate with RealAuthentication or LegitGrails. This way, you can enjoy your authentic designer purchase with peace of mind.
Entrupy is an advanced authentication system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to verify the authenticity of designer bags and small leather goods. After successful authentication, you receive an official Entrupy certificate of authenticity. At Purse Curse, we use Entrupy to verify the authenticity of our designer bags, so you can shop with peace of mind.
The authenticity of each item is first carefully assessed by Ghislaine, owner of Purse Curse. She has completed several courses in designer authentication and has years of experience as a collector and specialist in vintage and pre-owned designer items.
Subsequently, each item is checked by an independent external authenticator. For designer bags and small leather goods, we use Entrupy. For vintage designer jewellery, we collaborate with RealAuthentication or LegitGrails.
By combining our own expertise with independent authentication, we do everything possible to guarantee the authenticity of each item. That's why you always receive an authenticity certificate with your purchase and we offer a 1-year authenticity guarantee.
PRODUCTS
Our vintage and pre-owned designer items are unique, and each is in a different condition. We provide extensive product descriptions and clear photos to best represent the condition of each product. Additionally, we use different categories to describe the condition: as new, excellent, good, fair, and poor.
A pre-owned designer bag is an authentic designer bag that has previously been owned by someone else. A pre-owned designer bag can be from a recent collection or several years old.
Is a designer bag 20 years or older? Then we are talking about a vintage designer bag. So, every vintage designer bag is pre-owned, but not every pre-owned designer bag is vintage.
At Purse Curse, you will find a carefully curated collection of pre-owned and vintage designer bags from exclusive brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Gucci. All designer bags are carefully checked for authenticity and condition before being added to our collection, so you can buy an authentic designer bag with peace of mind.
A vintage designer bag is an authentic designer bag that is 20 years or older. Due to their age, craftsmanship, and often limited availability, vintage designer bags are cherished by collectors and enthusiasts of luxury designer items.
At Purse Curse, you will find a carefully curated collection of vintage designer bags from exclusive brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Gucci. Every vintage designer bag is meticulously checked for authenticity and condition, so you can confidently purchase an authentic designer item.
Not every pre-owned designer bag is vintage. A pre-owned designer bag can also come from a recent collection, whereas a vintage designer bag is always at least 20 years old.
The main difference lies in the age of the designer bag.
A pre-owned designer bag is an authentic designer bag that was previously owned by someone else. A pre-owned designer bag can be from a recent collection, or it can be decades old.
A vintage designer bag is a pre-owned designer bag that is at least 20 years old. Thus, every vintage designer bag is pre-owned, but not every pre-owned designer bag is vintage.
At Purse Curse, you will find both pre-owned designer bags and vintage designer bags from exclusive brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Gucci. All designer bags are carefully checked for authenticity and condition, so you can confidently purchase an authentic designer item.
Yes, you will always receive the exact item shown in the photos in our webshop. We take the photos of each individual item ourselves, so you get a fair and clear picture of its condition and details. In addition, we provide each item with an extensive and careful product description. This way, you know exactly what to expect from your purchase. It is also possible to view a bag by appointment in our showroom in Venlo. Please note: this is only possible for a maximum of 3 bags that have been communicated in advance.
Yes, of course! We understand that you want to assess a vintage or pre-owned designer item as thoroughly as possible before making a purchase. That's why we can send you extra photos or a video upon request, to give you an even better idea of the item's condition, details, and any signs of wear.
Please feel free to contact us via WhatsApp for this: 06 20 25 55 08. Please note that taking and sending additional photos and/or videos may take a few business days.
Our products have already had a life with a previous owner and do not require new production. This not only saves a lot of new materials, but also a significant amount of energy and water that would have been needed during the production process. Furthermore, at Purse Curse we choose high-quality products with a timeless appearance. These items last for years and are not dependent on trends.
Yes, all of our second-hand designer bags, designer accessories, and vintage designer jewellery are carefully inspected and superficially cleaned before sale. Leather designer bags are also treated with a suitable leather conditioner to keep the leather in the best possible condition.
We believe it is important to preserve the original appearance, quality, and condition of every designer item. Any signs of wear, restorations, or other peculiarities are therefore always honestly stated in the product description and are clearly visible in the product photos. This way, you know exactly what you are buying and can enjoy an authentic vintage or pre-owned designer item with peace of mind.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Depending on use, we recommend nourishing a designer bag once or twice a year with a conditioning leather conditioner. We always use Cadillac boot & shoe leather lotion ourselves
At Purse Curse, we like to use Cadillac Boot & Shoe Leather Lotion for many types of smooth leather. This wax-free leather conditioner is a popular choice among enthusiasts and specialists for caring for Chanel lambskin and Chanel caviar leather, among others. The lotion nourishes the leather, helps prevent drying and minor dry cracks, and maintains the leather's natural appearance. This keeps a vintage or pre-owned designer bag supple, beautiful, and in excellent condition for longer. As with any maintenance product, we advise always testing the product first on a small, inconspicuous area and following the maintenance instructions of the brand concerned.
Louis Vuitton monogram canvas and damier canvas do not require leather conditioner. These materials have a protective coating and therefore do not need to be nourished like smooth leather. Clean the canvas with a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth and then gently dry it.
However, please note that Vachetta leather details such as handles, straps, and trimmings on many Louis Vuitton bags may require maintenance. Use a suitable leather conditioner, such as Cadillac Boot & Shoe Leather Lotion, for this purpose. Always test it first on an inconspicuous area, as Vachetta develops a natural patina over time and may darken slightly with conditioning.
To keep your designer bag looking beautiful for as long as possible, always store it in a dustbag, out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dry place. This protects the leather from discolouration, drying out and unnecessary wear and tear.
Preferably use a bag pillow to lightly stuff the bag. This helps the bag retain its original shape and prevents the leather from sagging or creasing over time. Don't have a bag pillow? You can also carefully stuff the bag with acid-free tissue paper or folded bubble wrap. Do not use newspaper, as the ink can transfer.
Purse Curse tip: always store your designer bag empty and make sure that chains, handles and shoulder straps do not press against the leather for long periods. This will keep your pre-owned or vintage designer bag in top condition for years to come.
It is wise to avoid prolonged exposure to rain and moisture as much as possible. Although many designer bags can withstand a small splash of rain, water and moisture can damage the leather or cause stains over time.
Did your bag get wet anyway? Gently dab the moisture dry with a clean, soft microfiber cloth. Then let the bag air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a hairdryer, heater, or direct sunlight to speed up the drying process, as this can dry out or deform the leather.
With Louis Vuitton monogram canvas and Damier canvas, the canvas itself is very resistant to moisture, but the Vachetta leather details are more sensitive to water and can develop permanent stains or dark discoloration. Extra caution is therefore advised.
Purse Curse tip: If your designer bag has become soaked or has stubborn water or moisture stains, it is best to have the bag assessed by a specialized designer bag spa before using cleaning products yourself.
Leather is a natural material that loses moisture and natural oils over time. Without proper care, the leather can dry out, becoming stiff and losing its luster, or even developing small dry cracks.
Prevent dehydration by keeping your designer bag out of direct sunlight, heat sources, and damp areas. Additionally, use a high-quality leather conditioner suitable for the specific type of leather once or twice a year.
At Purse Curse, we like to use Cadillac boot & shoe leather lotion for many smooth leathers. Thanks to its wax-free formula, this leather conditioner nourishes the leather without leaving a greasy residue. It helps keep the leather supple and contributes to maintaining the natural appearance of, among others, Chanel lambskin, Chanel caviar, Louis Vuitton Epi, and other high-quality smooth leathers.
Purse Curse tip: use leather conditioner sparingly. A thin layer is sufficient. Too much product can attract dirt or unnecessarily saturate the leather. Always test a maintenance product first on a small, inconspicuous area.
At this moment, we do not offer repair or restoration services ourselves. Do you want to have your designer bag professionally cleaned, repaired, or refurbished? We are happy to help you further.
Due to our experience with pre-owned designer bags, we can refer you to a reliable and specialized bag spa that has extensive experience with luxury brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Gucci, and Prada.
Please feel free to contact us for personal advice. We are happy to think along with you and confidently refer you to a specialist who will give your designer bag the care it deserves.
