What are your condition standards?

At Modaselle, we maintain a high standard of quality. All items must be clean and wearable, and each piece undergoes a careful inspection to guarantee its quality, authenticity, and condition.

Our Condition Guide
Every designer item is categorized into one of the following five tiers:
- Like New: The item shows no visible wear.
- Excellent: The item shows faint wear.
- Very Good: The item shows light wear.
- Good: The item shows some signs of wear and use.
- Fair: The item shows significant wear and use.

Accessories and Packaging
Many of our luxury items include their original tags, boxes, dust bags, and authenticity cards. If these original accessories are available, they will be explicitly mentioned in the specific item description.

How are your diamonds and gemstones graded?

All diamond and gemstone grading at Modaselle is conducted by our certified experts in strict accordance with GIA standards. To preserve the exceptional craftsmanship of high-end pieces from houses like Cartier, Tiffany & Co., and Bulgari, we perform mounted grading, which ensures that original settings are never compromised. This meticulous evaluation is fully supported by our full money-back authenticity guarantee, providing you with complete peace of mind.

How does the Waitlist work?

If a luxury item you love has been sold, you can still stay informed about future availability:

  • Location: The Add to Waitlist button is prominently located on the product page, positioned directly where the "Buy" button usually sits.
  • Context: This button appears specifically for items with a "Recently Sold" badge. It is situated just below the price and installment information (such as Shop Pay).
  • Function: Clicking this allows you to receive a notification if a similar item becomes available in our collection.

What are the available payment options?

We provide a variety of secure payment methods to ensure a smooth shopping experience. You can choose from the following options:

  • Credit & Debit Cards: We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and Diners Club.
  • Digital Wallets: For a faster checkout, we support Shop Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
  • Buy Now, Pay Later: We offer Klarna, allowing you to split your purchase into smaller, manageable payments.
  • Bank Transfers: For enhanced security—especially for orders shipping to an address different from your billing address—we highly recommend e-transfer (within Canada) or wire transfer (worldwide).
  • Trade-Ins: You can trade in your luxury items for store credit to put towards your next purchase.

Do you offer active discount codes or promotions?

Yes! At Modaselle, we believe in providing exceptional value every single day rather than waiting for seasonal sales. Our most popular promotion is our Signature Daily Drop, which happens every day at 12:00 PM PST.

Here is what you can look forward to daily:

  • 6 Fresh New Arrivals: We curate and list 6 highly-coveted luxury pieces to keep our collection exciting and up-to-date.
  • 4 Exclusive Flash Sales: Each day, we select 4 existing items from our vault and apply a special, limited-time discount.

Pro Tip: These items move fast! We recommend bookmarking our "New Arrivals" page and checking in at noon sharp to snag your favorite pieces before they’re gone.

How do you price luxury items?

At Modaselle, our pricing strategy is dynamic and reflects current global market trends. Because we purchase items outright rather than using a consignment model, we aim to provide a fair and competitive market value for your luxury goods immediately.

Important Note: We currently only accept in-person selling of luxury items. Please visit our downtown Vancouver showroom at 943 Seymour Street to receive a confidential quote and immediate payout for your designer pieces.

Our team evaluates each unique piece based on the following four primary factors:

  • Brand Resale Value: Top-tier brands like Rolex, Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Cartier retain the highest value due to consistent demand.
  • Market Trends: We analyze real-time data to capture trending patterns in colors, styles, and silhouettes.
  • Item Condition: We carefully inspect each item and categorize it from Like New to Fair. Items in better condition command a higher resale value.
  • Recency & Rarity: Newer items typically have a higher resale value, while rare or vintage pieces can also drive up the price due to high collector demand.

What sort of pieces should I bring for my valuation?

Modaselle specializes in the outright purchase of authenticated pre-owned luxury accessories. We recommend bringing high-end items from the following categories to our showroom for a confidential valuation:

Valuation Requirements
  • Condition: All items brought for valuation must be clean and wearable.
  • Accessories: To ensure you receive the highest possible valuation, please bring any original tags, boxes, dust bags, and authenticity cards associated with the item.
  • In-Person Service: We currently only offer on-site valuations for our buyback program. Please bring your items to our downtown Vancouver showroom located at: 943 Seymour Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 3M1.
