FAQ's
Our FAQ's section answers most questions about how selling with Handpicked works.
We’re always on the lookout for beautiful pieces that feel right for the season, the kind of things you can wear and love straight away. Everyday style, gorgeous natural fabrics, and those standout statement pieces that turn heads.
We take women's clothing, shoes, bags & accessories.
If you are no longer reaching for something because it feels outdated, chances are it will not be right for Handpicked either.
We love selling items that fit easily into everyday life. We focus on casual, wearable styles that we can enjoy straight away, from great basics in natural fabrics to standout statement pieces. Formal wear is often trickier to sell, as it’s worn less often and doesn’t match what most of our customers are looking for when they shop with us. By keeping our collection focused, we give every item the best chance of finding a new home.
We love well-made, everyday designer bags from brands such as Mulberry, Anya Hindmarch, Aspinal of London, Strathberry, APC, Marni, Coach, Ganni and similar.
We also take high-end luxury items such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Prada, Dior or Balenciaga. Commission on luxury bags will be discussed during drop off.
Handpicked is here to help people fall in love with buying preloved and feeling confident doing so. This is why all items must be in like new to excellent condition with no damage, stains or wear.
Items must be freshly washed. Bags must be clean inside and out, and shoes should have freshly cleaned soles.
If you are a first time seller, you will need to book an appointment below before bringing items in. Availability is limited, so if you do not see a suitable slot, please check back the following week.
Items should be brought in clean and neatly folded in a bag.
We ask that items are not brought in on hangers, in garment bags or in suitcases, as this helps us process everything smoothly.
Each drop off is limited to up to 10 items and we ask that drop offs are no more than once a week. If you are having a larger clear out, items should be spaced out over time to help us keep the shop feeling balanced across sizes and styles. Bringing in edits that make sense together works best.
All items are priced by the Handpicked team. We research each piece carefully and price based on fabric, condition, style, season and what we know sells well.
Prices are set by us, and we do not send out individual prices or price confirmations. If you have a price in mind, please let us know when you bring the item in and we will take this into account where appropriate.
Most items are sold on a 50/50 basis, so you’ll receive half of the selling price. We take time to research each piece, looking at its original retail price, current resale value, and how sought after it is before setting a fair price for both buyer and seller.
For luxury or designer pieces, our commission is lower, meaning you keep more.
We pay on the 15th of every month for items sold in the previous calendar month. You can choose cash, bank transfer, store credit or donate to a charity of your choice.
On the 15th you’ll also receive a clear statement by email, showing exactly what sold, the price it soldfor, and your earnings.
We send out a statement on the 15th of each month that includes items that have sold in the previous calendar month.
We keep items for around 6-8 weeks and do our very best to find them a new home. If something doesn’t sell, we’ll get in touch so you can decide what happens next, whether that’s collecting your pieces or donating them to charity.
