Portero.com: A Must-Browse for the Luxury Lover

chanel-gold-plated-earrings

Any lover of luxury knows eBay is not the safest place to score a designer name. The risk of paying top dollar for a counterfeit Louis Vuitton is too great.

But what if there were someone you knew you could trust to sell pre-loved luxury goods at a fair price? That’s the ideal, right?

Enter Portero.com. Every brand-name item they sell has been authenticated by their professional appraisers. And not in the scammy “100% guaranteed authentic, but sorry, no refunds!” kind of way — as in, Portero will give you every penny of your money back if you’re unsatisfied for any reason. Even the pre-owned watches they sell come backed by a one-year warranty.

They list leather goods, jewelry, and watches by big-name brands like Chanel, Hermès, Prada, and Cartier. Every item comes with multiple photos and an assessment of its condition, ranging from “pristine” to merely “fair.”

And oh yes — there are deals to be had. The vintage gold-plated Chanel earrings you see here? Only $130, but every bit as glam as what you’ll find new in the store today.

What better way to keep fashion recirculating?
