our collection
Are all items authentic?
Authenticity is the foundation of Bonvin. We actively distance ourselves from replicas and counterfeits, and our authentic only policy ensures that every item in our collection is unquestionably genuine.
There are two ways an item may enter our collection. The first is through our worldwide network of professional suppliers. Each holds a mandatory dealer licence that guarantees the authenticity of every piece. This licence legally obliges them to trade only in authentic goods, with severe penalties for violations. Once we receive the item, our in-house expert conducts a second physical inspection to confirm both authenticity and condition.
The second way is through consignment from private sellers within the EU. Every consigned item undergoes the same physical authentication process once it arrives at our office, including detailed hand inspection, supported by archival research when required.
This careful process demands time and dedication, but it allows us to guarantee the authenticity of our collection with complete confidence.
In addition, We use Vestiaire Collective as our secondary sales channel, chosen for their uncompromising authentic-only policy. Every item uploaded there is subjected to two additional checks: first through a digital verification at the time of listing, which takes up to 48 hours, and then again by hand upon arrival at their authentication centre in Tourcoing as part of their authenticated shipping service. Only once every detail is confirmed with precision is a piece entrusted to its new owner.
This shared commitment reinforces both our authentic-only philosophy and the confidence of our clients, who expect nothing less than the real deal.
Which designers does Bonvin offer?
We currently accept the following designers within our collection:
Bags: Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Goyard, Bottega Veneta, Gucci and Fendi
Jewellery: Cartier, Bvlgari, Tiffany & Co. and Van Cleef & Arpels
Watches: Cartier and Rolex
Within these maisons, we focus on the timeless icons – pieces that age like fine wine and remain relevant far beyond seasonal trends.
How is the condition of each item communicated?
When looking at our individual product page, you can view an indication of the items exact condition mentioned in a separate condition tab. This can range from Fair, Good, Very good, Excellent to New. The exact definition of each condition grade is described there.
The item I was looking for is sold. When will it be available again?
Each piece in our collection is unique and therefore cannot be restocked once sold. However, a similar item may become available in the near future. If you are searching for something specific, please contact us — we’ll be glad to notify you as soon as a matching piece arrives and offer you the opportunity to purchase it before it goes online. You can also follow us on Instagram or Vestiaire Collective to discover the new treasures that enter our collection each week.
Do the pictures show the actual item I will receive?
Yes. Every item in our collection is photographed individually, so the images you see always represent the exact piece you are purchasing. If you would like to see additional details not shown in the listing, please contact us and we will be glad to provide more pictures.
How can I contact Bonvin?
You can reach us via email, WhatsApp, or Instagram through our contact page. Our team typically responds within 24 hours. For more information, visit our contact page.
In which language can I communicate?
We believe language should never be a barrier. Write to us in the language you feel most comfortable with, we’ll answer you in the same.
Can I sell my item to Bonvin?
Yes. If you would like to part with a piece from your collection, we offer a dedicated selling service. Simply visit our Sell with Bonvin page, submit your item and we will be in touch with you.
Why should I buy vintage or pre-loved?
As a society, we have a growing responsibility to shop in a more sustainable way and recognise that our planet’s resources are not infinite. Bonvin’s mission is to promote a circular economy by keeping luxury that is made to last, last.
Buying vintage and pre-loved items directly supports the principles of the R-ladder: we Refuse unnecessary new production, Reduce waste, Reuse what already exists, and, when needed, Repair or Refurbish timeless pieces so they can be cherished throughout the next decades.
Best of all, you enjoy the pleasure of wearing something truly unique — a piece that is increasingly rare, rich in character, and often priced lower than buying new, making it not only a sustainable choice but also a thoughtful and stylish one. Invest into a beautiful extension of yourself that can be passed down to the next generation, not the junk yard.
How can I stay updated on new arrivals?
To stay informed about the latest additions to our collection, follow us on Instagram or Vestiaire Collective. New items are added to our collection every week.

What happens if my order is lost during shipping?
We would like to emphasize that this very rarely happens with DHL Express. Thanks to their extensive network and strict tracking and security protocols, package loss is uncommon.
In the unlikely event that your parcel is lost during transit, rest assured that it is fully insured. We will immediately initiate an investigation with DHL, which may take up to 10 working days. If the carrier confirms the loss, your order will be cancelled, and a full refund will be issued. Please note that refunds are only processed once the investigation has been officially completed.
Which courier is used, and are shipping costs included?
We ship exclusively with DHL Express. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout once your delivery details are entered: €10 within the Netherlands, €15 within the EU, and €30 worldwide. These rates include full insurance for your item.
How does the packaging look like?
For discretion, every order is shipped in a plain brown cardboard box that blends in during transit. Inside, your item is carefully secured with sturdy paper filling to keep it in place throughout its journey. The piece itself is wrapped in a white cotton sleeve or dust bag for extra protection.
All packaging materials — box, filling paper, and tape — are made of paper and can be recycled through your household paper stream.
Will I pay duties or taxes?
All shipments within the European Union (EU) are sent DDP (Delivery Duty Paid), meaning no additional taxes or customs duties are due upon delivery.
For orders outside the European Union (EU), your purchase may be subject to local taxes, customs duties, or other fees determined by the destination country. These charges are not included at checkout and are collected by your local customs authority. As the recipient, you are responsible for paying these duties at the time of delivery.
This is a routine part of international shipping and is made as convenient as possible. In most cases, our courier (DHL Express) will contact you directly by email with simple instructions on how to settle these charges, either online before delivery or at the time your package arrives. The process is smooth, straightforward, and rarely causes any delay. For additional details, we recommend contacting your local customs office.
Can I change shipping details after ordering?
Yes, it is possible to update the shipping details of your order. Please contact us as soon as possible, and we will make the adjustment for you to avoid any unnecessary shipping or return costs.

care instructions
In general
To preserve the beauty of your item, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposure to moisture, heat, and chemicals such as perfume, lotion, or cleaning products, as these can alter finishes and materials over time. Always handle with clean hands and keep pieces in their original dust bag or box when not in use. Proper storage and gentle care will help maintain each item’s condition and character for years to come.
Bags
Do not overfill the bag to maintain its original shape. When not in use, store it upright and lightly padded with tissue paper or a bag pillow to support its structure. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity, as these can cause fading or cracking of the leather. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth, and if exposed to water, pat dry and allow to air-dry naturally—never use a hairdryer or heat source. Rotate use to minimise wear on handles, straps, and corners.
Jewellery
Remove before sports, swimming, or applying perfumes and lotions as chemicals and perspiration can dull finishes or loosen settings over time. Store pieces separately to prevent scratches. Clean with a soft cloth. for gold and platinum, use mild soap and lukewarm water if needed. Delicate stones and pearls should never come into contact with harsh cleaners.
Watches
Keep away from water unless the watch is water-resistant, and avoid exposure to hot water or steam, as heat can cause condensation to form behind the glass and may compromise the water seals over time. Refrain from wearing your watch during activities where fast or abrupt movements happen, such as playing golf or racing your sportscar, as repeated shocks can disrupt or damage the delicate internal mechanism. Store it in a watch box or winder to prevent scratches and keep mechanical movements active. Wipe gently with a microfiber cloth, and have it serviced every 3–5 years. For Quartz movements, the battery should be replaced every 1–2 years.
