Where Can You Consign a Hermès Bag in Singapore?

If you want to consign a Hermès bag in Singapore, where can you go? How long does it take to list the bag, and how long might it take to sell? How is the payment settled after the sale? Will consignment give you more than a direct buyout?

The amount you receive from consignment = actual sale price − commission − other fees. Therefore, a higher consignment listing price does not necessarily mean you will receive more than a buyout offer. Before deciding, compare the final amount you would receive under both options.

Where Can You Consign a Hermès Bag in Singapore?

XIAOMA Singapore is located on Orchard Road and offers both consignment and buyout services.

We recommend making an appointment in advance so that an authenticator can be arranged. If you would like to visit without an appointment, contact the store first to confirm.

XIAOMA operates locations in Japan (Ginza, Tokyo and Umeda, Osaka), Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris, France, and Dubai. The same services are available at each location.

How Long Does It Take to Sell a Hermès Bag on Consignment?

The bag is listed within 1 to 2 business days after signing. Once it is sold and full payment has been received, settlement is completed within 7 business days.

Authentication consists of three stages: checking condition, checking authenticity, and checking accessories. Rare models, special leathers, or items requiring additional verification may require a longer evaluation, generally completed within 24 hours.

How Long Does It Take to Sell a Consigned Hermès Bag?

There is no fixed number of days. The timing depends on the model, size, color, and condition.

The main models rank as follows in terms of resale value and liquidity: Birkin 25 ＞ Mini Kelly ＞ Kelly 25 ＞ Picotin ＞ Constance. Models toward the top of this list generally have more stable market demand and may sell more quickly. Sizes with relatively strong liquidity include Birkin 25/30 and Kelly 25/28. Colors with stable long-term demand include Black, Gold, Etoupe, and Craie.

Public data from international auction houses can provide a reference point. Sotheby’s 2026 information indicates that on its fixed-price online platform, leather Birkins typically sell within 30 to 45 days, while special-leather models may take longer (Sotheby’s – Complete Guide to Buying and Selling a Birkin).

Consignment vs. Buyout: Which Gives You More?

The key comparison is the final amount you receive, not the listed price.

Consignment itself involves costs. For example, according to Sotheby’s, sellers on its fixed-price online platform receive 80% of the final sale amount (Sotheby’s – Complete Guide to Buying and Selling a Birkin). Before signing, ask exactly what commissions and other fees apply, then compare the final amount you would receive with the buyout offer.

Buyouts support same-day cash payment, with payment arrangements completed within 30 minutes to 2 hours after transaction confirmation. The arrival time for bank transfers depends on the processing time of the local bank.

What Types of Hermès Bags Are Suitable for Consignment?

High-value bags, rare colors, special leathers, popular sizes, or well-preserved Birkin, Kelly, Constance, and other models are generally more suitable for consignment because these items may benefit from waiting for a more suitable buyer.

Condition is one of the first factors to check. There are seven condition grades:

Can You Get a Buyout Quote First and Then Switch to Consignment?

Yes. You can obtain a buyout quote first, then choose between a buyout and consignment based on the price, expected selling time, and your individual needs.

We recommend providing the following photos: full front, back, bottom, all four corners, handle roots, hardware close-ups, lining, stamp location, a group photo of the accompanying accessories, and a 360-degree video. The more complete the information, the smaller the price adjustment is likely to be after the physical inspection.

How Can You Check Whether a Consignment Store in Singapore Is Legitimate?

Instead of looking at the size of the business or its advertising, check four items that you can independently verify:

1. Whether its secondhand dealer license number can be verified
2. Whether it has a physical store address that customers can visit
3. Whether the quoted price clearly states the reasons for any deductions in writing
4. Whether the payment timing is clearly explained

For consignment, you should also check whether the settlement timing is clearly stated. XIAOMA’s consignment settlement is completed within 7 business days after the item is sold and full payment is received.

XIAOMA’s secondhand dealer license number is Tokyo Metropolitan Public Safety Commission No. 304381506931.

For the complete 10-point checklist and how to verify each item, see “How to Tell Whether a Secondhand Hermès Store Is Legitimate” (https://ginzaxiaoma.com/zh-CN/blog/identify-legit-reseller).
