What we look at on a Gucci

Gucci has been made in Florence since 1921, and it is the most widely traded of the Italian houses on the secondary market. That cuts both ways: there is always a buyer, and there are more convincing counterfeits than for almost any other brand. The GG Supreme canvas, the Horsebit hardware and the web stripe are the details we check first.

The serial tag inside, and whether its font and placement match the era
Hardware weight and plating wear, which is where copies give themselves away
Canvas coating condition, especially at the corners and along the base
Original dust bag, cards and receipt
Interior lining: replaced or re-dyed linings are a real deduction

Gucci bags we buy

Horsebit 1955: The shoulder and crossbody line built on the 1955 hardware.
GG Marmont: Chevron-quilted leather with the double-G closure. Consistently in demand.
Dionysus: The tiger-head clasp. Suede and canvas versions price differently.
Ophidia and GG Supreme canvas: Coated canvas with the web stripe, across totes, crossbodies and backpacks.
Jackie 1961, Bamboo and Soho: Archive shapes; the reissues and the originals are valued separately.
And many others: This list is where most people start, not where we stop. We buy across the range including discontinued lines, seasonal colours, collaborations and pieces we have never seen before. If it is not here, it is still worth asking about.

Not listed? We buy across the range, including discontinued and vintage pieces. Call (619) 236-9603 or send photos and we will tell you where it sits.

How selling a Gucci here works

1
Show us the bag
Bring it to 907 6th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101, or send photographs of the exterior, the interior stamp, the hardware and any wear. Photographs are enough for a range; the firm number needs the bag in hand.
2
We authenticate and appraise it
Our own team checks it, in house, before any offer is made. You watch it happen and we explain what we are looking at and why it changes the number. Free, and you are under no obligation at any point.
3
Take the offer, or take the appraisal
Accept and you are paid that day by cash, check or wire. Decline and you keep the bag and the valuation, with nothing owed. If you would rather not part with it, ask about borrowing against it instead.

Questions people ask first

Do you buy Gucci canvas as well as leather?

Yes. GG Supreme coated canvas is a large part of what we see and it trades well, though the corners and base take wear faster than leather does. We price it on the condition of the coating rather than on age.

What if I do not have the dust bag or card?

We still buy it. They add to the number rather than gate it. On Gucci the serial tag matters far more than the paperwork, and that is attached to the bag.

How do you know it is authentic?

Our team examines it in house before making an offer: serial tag, hardware, stitching, canvas coating and lining. We are not sending it away and calling you next week.

How much is my Gucci bag worth?

It comes down to the model, the condition and how complete it is, and then to what that particular Gucci is doing on the resale market this month. We will not quote a figure sight unseen, because a number invented over the phone is either wrong or a way of getting you through the door. Send photos including the interior stamp and we will give you a range before you travel.

Do I have to bring my Gucci into the store?

No. Most people do, because the appraisal happens in front of you and you are paid the same day. If you are not in San Diego, our Sell From Home kit is free, includes a prepaid overnight label, and is insured to the full value of the bag with no cap. We make an offer within one business day of it arriving, and if you decline we pay the return shipping.

Can I borrow against my Gucci instead of selling it?

Yes, and people do this more often than you would expect with a bag they are attached to. A collateral loan leaves you the owner while we hold it in a climate-controlled vault. No credit check, nothing reported to a credit bureau, no minimum and no maximum. Four month term, redeemable early, and the bag is never displayed or worn.

How quickly do I get paid for a Gucci?

The same day you accept. There is no per-transaction cash limit, though a very large amount needs a day's notice so we can arrange the funds. Check and wire are always available. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID: California law requires it from anyone selling to a licensed buyer.

We also buy Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Hermès. Prefer to keep the bag? Borrow against it. Not local? Sell from home with a free insured kit.
