Private UK valuation

Sell my designer dress

Sell your designer dress directly to EncoreLuxe through a private, specialist-led valuation. We consider evening gowns, cocktail dresses, couture, bridal pieces and notable runway designs from recognised luxury houses. Share clear photographs of the full dress, designer and care labels, size, fabric, embellishment and any alterations or wear. A specialist reviews the house, collection, condition and current demand before discussing a no-obligation offer. There is no public listing to create, no seller commission to calculate and no need to arrange fittings with strangers. Garment bags, spare trims and receipts can help when available, but they are not essential for every dress. If the initial valuation suits you, we explain the secure handover and complete the final condition and authenticity review before payment.

Questions, answered

Before you
send it in.

Which designer dresses do you buy?

We focus on authentic pieces from established luxury houses with an active UK resale market. Send an enquiry if your brand or model is not shown.

How is my offer calculated?

A specialist considers identity, condition, originality, completeness and current demand. The first figure is based on the photographs and details you provide.

Do I need the receipt or original packaging?

No. These can help with provenance and value, but independent authentication is completed for every purchase.

Are there any seller fees?

No. EncoreLuxe buys directly, so there is no listing charge, marketplace commission or fee deducted for meeting a buyer.

How do I send a valuable item safely?

After you accept an initial offer, we explain the insured send-in or suitable in-person option before anything moves.

Can I decline the offer?

Yes. Every valuation is private and without obligation. You remain free to decline before sending or handing over the item.
