Our Appraisal Specialties

PENELOPE’S specializes in appraisals of vintage fashion items from the world’s leading fashion houses. We conduct appraisals of Hermès scarves, iconic handbags, haute couture clothing, jewelry, and luxury accessories. Each specialty is assessed by a dedicated expert to determine the value of your items and their potential at auction.

Why Have Your Items Received an Appraisal at Auction?

An auction appraisal provides a realistic valuation that is often higher than what you would receive from a traditional resale. Thanks to competition among buyers and our international network of collectors, certain vintage items can fetch high prices. PENELOPE’S selects and presents your items in specialized auctions to maximize their value.

How does the appraisal work?

The appraisal process is quick and easy. All you need to do is send us some photos and a few details about your items. Our experts will analyze the brand, condition, rarity, and market demand to provide you with an accurate appraisal. If your item is selected, we’ll then assist you in preparing it for auction.

Which vintage fashion items are valuable?

The most sought-after items generally come from iconic fashion houses such as Hermès, Chanel, Dior, or Yves Saint Laurent. Iconic handbags, Hermès scarves, haute couture clothing, and certain limited-edition pieces can fetch high prices. Value depends on rarity, condition, and current market demand.
