Bags sell well on Depop because there's no sizing to worry about, buyers can use them straight away, and vintage and designer pieces hold their value. To sell them, photograph the outside, inside, base, corners and hardware, give width, height, depth and strap drop, describe any wear honestly, and include proof of authenticity for designer bags. Then pack them so they keep their shape in the post.

Describing condition
Be specific: "light scuffing on two base corners", "small pen mark inside", "strap edges slightly worn". Hidden flaws are the most common reason bag buyers open a case. See the Depop buyer protection and refunds guide.
Designer bags and authenticity
Counterfeit bags are banned, and buyers are cautious. Help them trust you:
- Photograph stamps, serial or date codes, stitching and hardware engravings
- Include receipts, dust bags or authenticity cards if you have them
- Consider a professional authentication for expensive bags
- Never list a bag as designer if you're not sure

Pricing

Shipping bags safely

- Wrap the hardware so it doesn't scratch
- Use a box for structured bags. Soft bags can go in a padded mailer
