Frequently Asked Questions

Buying

How do you authenticate items?

Every piece is authenticated in house by our specialists, real experts rather than software, with years of hands-on experience across luxury goods. We examine materials, stitching, heat stamping, hardware and packaging, and where any doubt exists, we refer the item to a second authenticator for additional assurance.

Every item comes with our 100% authenticity guarantee. In the rare event an item is found to be inauthentic, we'll issue a full refund.

Can you provide an authenticity certificate?

Yes. We can issue an in-house authenticity certificate as a PDF on request, and a printed copy is available for clients visiting us in store.

Can you put an item on hold for me?

Yes. We can hold an item for you with a 25% non-refundable deposit, with the remaining balance due within 7 days.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Our Votre Luxe Vault Plan lets you reserve a piece and pay it off over time. Once you check out, a member of our team will email you to arrange your first instalment, and your piece is held exclusively for you once your first payment is confirmed.

If you'd like to talk through your options before purchasing, text or WhatsApp us on 0459 363 554.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept card and online payment, EFT and cash. Our only payment plan is the Votre Luxe Vault Plan.

Is Votre Luxe sustainable?

Choosing pre-loved luxury extends the life of beautiful pieces rather than adding to new production. We're proud to be part of the circular fashion economy, and we reuse packaging materials wherever possible, while always making sure your item is fully protected in transit.

Visiting the Boutique

Where are you located?

Our boutique is at 50 King William Street, Adelaide SA 5000, open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 5pm. Plan your visit.

Do I need an appointment?

No appointment is needed to browse and shop. Appointments are only needed for on-the-spot evaluations and authentication services.

Is there parking?

We don't have on-site parking. There's street parking and a range of public car parks throughout the Adelaide CBD within walking distance of the boutique.

Can I collect an online order in store?

Yes. Choose in-store pickup at checkout and we'll email you as soon as your order is ready to collect.

Shipping & Returns

How do you ship?

We offer complimentary express shipping on most Australian orders via Australia Post Express, with signature on delivery included. For oversized or heavy items, shipping is calculated at checkout.

We dispatch orders Tuesday to Friday. Orders received after 2pm ACST on Friday are shipped the following Tuesday.

We price items based on current market conditions, brand, model, condition, rarity and demand, so your piece is competitively priced to sell while maximising your return.

How long does it take to list my item?

Once we receive your item, our team authenticates, cleans, measures and professionally photographs it, then creates a detailed listing for our website and shares it across our social channels. We aim to have your item live within 1 to 3 business days of drop-off or delivery.

When will I be paid?

For consignment sales, payment is processed on our fortnightly schedule once your item sells, and you'll receive an email confirming when funds will arrive.

For direct sales, payment is processed within 48 hours of agreeing on a price.

What if my item doesn't sell within the consignment period?

At the end of the 60-day consignment period, you're welcome to collect your item or keep it on consignment with us.
