Designer bag valuation at Vendu Dickhaut Maastricht

Getting a designer bag valued at Vendu Dickhaut is easy and non-binding. You start by supplying clear photo's of the bag, supplemented with details such as the brand, model, serial number, purchase date and any documentation. Our appraisers will make an initial estimate based on this.

Would you prefer to visit us in person? Then we are happy to receive you by appointment at our auction house in the heart of Maastricht. Here, our experts will carefully examine the bag up close and give you a realistic estimate of its value. Do you have several bags, a complete collection or an estate? We would also be happy to help you.

Vendu Dickhaut employs certified appraisers specialising in applied art, design, couture and accessories. To appraise luxury bags, we have an in-house specialist who is up to date with current market developments and international trends. Our appraisals are independent and carried out according to the guidelines of the Federation TMV. If required, we will draw up an official valuation report for insurance or estate purposes.

Our appraisers pay attention to several aspects when determining the value of your designer bag:

• Make and model: bags from renowned brands such as Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Dior generally remain popular and valuable, especially with iconic models.
• State of the bag: the condition of the item plays a big role. Bags with no visible damage and minimal wear and tear usually fetch more than those with signs of use.
• Authenticity and documentation: an original purchase receipt, certificate of authenticity or serial number increases confidence and therefore value.
• Material and finishing: bags with high-quality materials such as crocodile leather or a gold clasp, as well as precise craftsmanship, are rated higher.
• Rarity and circulation: limited editions or models no longer in production are often sought after by collectors and are usually worth more.
• Original accessories: a bag with matching dust bag, box or matching accessories such as a key ring or shoulder strap, is more attractive to buyers and collectors.
• Market and trends: the popularity of certain models can vary. Some styles remain always in demand, while others benefit from temporary hypes or media attention.

Vendu holds several art auctions every year. If your work of art is assessed as auction-worthy during the valuation, it will be given a place in an auction. Would you like to know more about our auctions?
