Sell designer tote bags

Totes are among the most-sold designer shapes — and among the most condition-sensitive. Open tops, heavy daily loads, and base wear show up fast on Neverfulls, OnTheGos, and Goyard Saint Louis pieces. The Private Bag Co. buys qualifying totes in Louis Vuitton and Goyard (and evaluates others per buy box) with a firm conditional offer after inspection — not a style guide and not a photo-only promise.

All offers are conditional pending physical inspection and authentication. Commercial heart roughly $500–$5,000. Independent — not affiliated with Louis Vuitton, Goyard, or other houses named.

Tote models we buy (soft-launch)

Louis Vuitton (core buy when condition clears)
Neverfull MM / GM · OnTheGo MM / PM · select Keepall (travel tote-adjacent) · limited other open-top LV if liquid

Goyard (core buy — sourcing often tighter than pricing)
Saint Louis PM / GM · Anjou Mini / PM · Artois PM · select related shoppers

Chanel
Classic shopping totes are less central than flaps/WOC; evaluate case-by-case on modern non-exotic. Prefer Sell Chanel Nashville.

Hermès / Gucci totes (Garden Party, etc.)
Consign-only — Hermès & Gucci consignment.

We do not handle exotic skins. Outside the box: we may redirect — platforms compared.

Condition grades that move a tote offer

We talk in plain inspection language, not marketing letter grades:

Area	Stronger offer signals	Weaker / decline signals
Structure	Holds shape when empty; natural soft slouch only	Collapsed sides; permanently misshapen base
Base / corners	Light surface wear	Worn through; heavy abrasion; board showing
Handles	Even vachetta patina (LV); intact coating (Goyard)	Dark water rings; dry cracking; broken stitch
Interior	Light marks	Sticky lining; mould; pervasive staining; strong odour
Exterior canvas / Goyardine	Light marks, even look	Peeling coat; deep stains; chevron paint inconsistency
Hardware / feet	Present, light wear	Missing feet; replaced parts that fail verification
Odour	Neutral	Smoke, mildew, pet

Neverfull / OnTheGo specifics: pouch completeness helps but does not prove authenticity. Vachetta and glazing still matter on LV. Pouches alone are not the bag.

Goyard specifics: painted Y consistency and edge paint; do not DIY touch up before sale — handbag care tips.

When we buy vs when we consign (totes)

Situation	Likely path
Liquid LV/Goyard tote in buy-box condition, you want speed	Conditional buyout after inspection
Strong demand + you can wait 30–90+ days	Consign may net more — you approve price
Hermès or Gucci tote	Consign-only
Ticket likely far above soft-launch heart	Evaluate; may consign or refer
Under ~$400 or heavy damage	Often DIY / decline
