InstantLuxe.com, the Parisian-based luxury online marketplace for
“pre-loved” goods has launched its local, dedicated UK site.

“Until now, consumers who wanted to buy second-hand luxury products
online really only had online auction websites to go to,” commented
Yann Le Floc’h, CEO and founder of InstantLuxe.com. “With these they
have no independent guarantee whether the product is genuine or not,
“authenticity” is based on other users’ opinion, often running the
risk of buying a counterfeit or an item at less-than-average quality.”

“Now they don’t have to. With InstantLuxe.com, consumers are
guaranteed an authentic item, not to mention in good or pristine
condition.” With over 550,000 members, the online marketplace is the
largest platform of its kind and offers consumers access to over
thousands types of luxury products, including handbags, wallets and
purses, watches, jewellery and accessories from a number of brands
such as Cartier, Chanel, Dior and Louis Vuitton.

Unlike other online marketplaces, InstantLuxe.com sends sellers items
to independent experts to verify the authenticity of the product prior
to shipping them to the buyer. If the item is authentic, only then is
it sent to the buyer, with a certificate of authenticity and the
InstantLuxe.com seal.

However, if the luxury item is found to be a counterfeit, the buyer is
refunded their entire purchase amount, to ensure only original luxury
goods are sold.
