A focus on luxury
Luxury and premium
Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Hermès, Dior, Bottega Veneta, Loro Piana, Max Mara, Burberry.
Mid-range
BOSS, Sandro, Maje, Ted Baker. Always welcome in the catalogue.
Mass market
H&M, Zara and the like: it isn’t luxury, and the catalogue won’t help it.
Menswear and kidswear
Their own categories in the catalogue. There’s demand there too.
Compare us with what you’re used to
Pick the option you’d normally use. Same example every time: pieces sold for CHF 1,000. We count not just the commission, but everything you’ll have to pay and spend.
What your hour is worth
In pure money terms, we’re not first. Ricardo is 89 francs cheaper than us. The city flea market, by almost 150. The only question is what you think your hour is worth.
And one more thing, honestly: a good piece is rarely bought straight away. People want to try it on, touch it, check that it’s authentic, look at it in the light. Organising that yourself is a quest of its own: arranging, meeting, letting a stranger into your home, explaining why it’s the real thing. We solve that quest for you: fitting rooms, lighting, rails, documents to hand and a real conversation with the buyer. This comes with the Online + Market package.
And that’s assuming luxury sells on the square at all. It won’t. For reference: if your hour is worth more than 22 francs, you can stop counting.
No compromises here
When you upload a piece, you confirm it’s authentic. We don’t list copies, replicas or “nearly original”: a note in the description doesn’t release you from responsibility.
Have a receipt, serial number, dust bag, box? Upload them. It noticeably raises the price and speeds up the sale.
Pieces with receipts and documents get a status in the catalogue, and sell faster:

Money-back guarantee
Nothing sold over two markets? We refund your participation fee. The guarantee applies to pieces that meet two conditions:
The piece is backed by documents
A receipt, certificate, serial number, original box, dust bag, authenticity card: any of these.
The price follows our recommendation
For every piece you upload, we give a recommended price: we look at the brand, condition, season, completeness and what similar pieces actually sell for in Switzerland, in practice rather than by the catalogue.
You can set any price you like; it’s your piece. But if the price is above our recommendation, or there’s no proof, the guarantee doesn’t apply to that item.
We take responsibility for what we can influence. An inflated price is the only real reason luxury doesn’t sell. No shop window can fix that.
How payment works
Each piece has its own QR code. Whether it sells by reservation or is scanned at the market, the deal lands in your personal account. You can see at any time what has sold, what is reserved and how much it all comes to.
Money for the piece goes directly to you. We don’t receive or hold it:
In cash or by transfer
Settled between the two of you, with no middleman and no waiting for a payout. Once you’ve received the money, you mark it in your account and the piece disappears from the catalogue.
12% commission after the market
We calculate it from the deals marked in your account and send a single invoice. Nothing is deducted from each sale, and there are no payment fees.
The invoice arrives within 7 days after the market and must be paid within 14. Details are in the terms of participation.
How to prepare your pieces
Clean, washed, smelling good, everything fastens and works. This isn’t nitpicking. The decision to buy is made in three seconds, before someone has finished reading the description and price.
01Clean and fix
- Wash or dry-clean. A dry-cleaning receipt adds trust: photograph it and attach it
- Check zips, buttons, fastenings and lining. A sticking zip on a bag takes a third off the price
- Remove pilling. A fabric shaver costs fifteen francs and restores a piece’s look better than anything else
- Smell. Perfume, cigarettes, storage cupboards: it won’t air out in a day
02Photograph
- The photo is half the price. Shoot in daylight by a window, without flash and without a yellow lamp: it turns white grey and beige dirty
- A plain, calm background: a wall, a door, a light sheet. A kitchen, a carpet or clutter in the frame lowers the price, even if the piece is perfect
- One look per piece: a full shot first, then the label, texture, hardware and any wear, honestly. A hidden defect means a return, not a saved sale
- Steam before shooting. A creased piece in the frame reads as “it’s been sitting around”, and the price drops before the buyer finishes the description
03Shoes and bags
- Shoes: clean them, replace the insoles if worn
- Bags: empty them, wipe the lining, stuff with paper to hold the shape
04Documents
- Find the documents: receipt, card, dust bag, box. They affect both the price and the guarantee
What we won’t accept
We do the selection before publishing in the catalogue. That’s fairer: you find out in advance, not after the fact.
