Paris, 9 September 2026. After months of building, testing and refining, the CollectorElysium marketplace opens today. From this morning, selected collectors can list their own pieces alongside our house selection — Hermès, Chanel, Dior, fine watches — on a single curated platform, authenticated by our team and offered to a private, international clientele.
A marketplace, not a flea market
The world does not need another place to dump handbags. It needs a place where a Kelly 28 in box calf is described by someone who knows what a Kelly 28 in box calf is, photographed properly, verified before it goes live, and shown to buyers who are ready to pay what it is worth. That is what we have built.
CollectorElysium started as a Parisian resale house with its own inventory and a consignment service run over WhatsApp, one client at a time. Demand quickly outgrew what one address could source. The marketplace is our answer: the same standards, the same curation, the same discretion — opened to collectors who want to sell the right way.
How it works for sellers
The process has been designed to take minutes, not weeks.
1. Create your account. A name, an e-mail, a country. Your identity is never shown publicly: buyers see a discreet seller profile, not your personal details.
2. Submit a piece. Our guided form walks you through the brand, model, size, material, colour, hardware and condition, and asks for three to twenty photographs. It builds a clean, consistent listing from your answers so that every piece on the platform is presented to the same standard.
3. We authenticate and approve. Nothing goes live automatically. Each submission is reviewed by our team — stamps, hardware, stitching, materials, provenance — before it is accepted or declined. If we have doubts, we ask. If we are not convinced, it does not go online.
4. The sale. Your piece is offered to our clientele in Europe, the United States and the Middle East. When it sells, we handle payment, insured delivery and after-sale service. You keep 85% of the sale price; our commission is a flat 15%, with no listing fees and no hidden costs.

What buyers can expect
For buyers, nothing changes in principle and everything changes in scale. Every piece on CollectorElysium — whether from our own collection or from a collector — passes through the same authentication before it is listed. Prices remain firm, negotiable within reason, and the concierge is still a message away for private requests, sourcing and payment arrangements on high-value pieces.
What changes is the depth of the selection. Pieces that would never reach the open market — a special-order Birkin, a vintage Kelly in an unusual leather, a discontinued reference — now have a channel that treats them with the seriousness they deserve.
Online, and rue de Rivoli
A marketplace built on trust still needs a door you can walk through. Our showroom on rue de Rivoli, in the heart of Paris, lets clients see and handle the pieces, meet the team, and hand over items for consignment in person. Visit the showroom page for details.
Alongside it, the Atelier continues to restore, refresh and customise pieces for our clients — because the value of a collection is also in how it is kept.
Why now
Luxury resale has become an asset class of its own. Hermès, Chanel and the great watch houses hold — and often gain — value in a way few other objects do. But the market that grew around them is noisy, uneven and, too often, unsafe. Collectors deserve better than a choice between anonymous platforms and opaque dealers.
CollectorElysium sits deliberately in between: the rigour of a house, the reach of a platform. Today, that platform is open.
Welcome to the marketplace.
