Consign your Hermès with JULL.
The bag stays yours until it sells. We agree the exact sum you will receive, put it in writing, and then do the work: authentication, photography, the Chelsea Harbour showroom, byjull.com, the buyers who already ask us for that model. When it sells, you are paid within seven working days.
For the same bag, the consignment figure is always higher than our outright offer. If you would rather be paid today, we will quote both and tell you which we would choose.
Get your payout figure on WhatsApp01 — The figure
One number, agreed before the bag goes on sale.
We do not work in percentages. After inspecting the bag we tell you the exact amount you will receive when it sells, in pounds, and that figure goes into the consignment agreement you sign. The listing price, any later change to it, the negotiation with the buyer, the delivery: all of that is ours to manage, and none of it moves your number. We cannot sell for a sum that would reduce your payout without your written consent.
Because you are not paying us a fee, there is nothing to deduct later and nothing to argue about on the day of the sale. The statement you receive shows the sale, the date and the transfer to your account.
02 — Why it pays more
Consignment or an outright sale: what actually changes.
When a dealer buys a bag outright, they pay today and then hold it, sometimes for months, until the right buyer appears. The offer has to leave room for that cost, and for the chance of being wrong about the price. On consignment the bag stays in your name, we hold no stock, and the room we would otherwise need goes to you. That is the whole difference, and it is why the consignment figure for the same bag is always higher than the outright one.
| Consignment | Outright purchase | |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | The agreed payout, fixed in writing before listing. Higher of the two for the same bag. | Our firm offer, paid in full within 24 hours of inspection. |
| When you are paid | Within 7 working days of the buyer’s cleared funds. | Immediately. The bag changes hands and the transfer is made. |
| Who owns the bag meanwhile | You, until the moment it sells. | JULL, from the day of purchase. |
| Risk while it is with us | JULL carries loss, theft and damage up to your agreed payout. | Not applicable; the bag is ours. |
| Best for | Sellers who want the stronger figure and can wait up to 60 days. | Sellers who need certainty today, or a bag we already have a buyer for. |
03 — Why with JULL
Your bag, in a place you can walk into.
Anyone handing over a bag worth more than a car has three questions: will I actually get the money, is the bag safe while it is away from me, and will it sell at a proper price. This is how we answer each one, in the order sellers ask them.
- A registered company and a real showroom. BY JULL LTD, Companies House 17144844, with a showroom at Harbour Yard, Chelsea Harbour, open seven days 10–18. You can see where your bag is and who is selling it. Details on Is JULL legitimate?
- Insured in our custody. From the drop-off receipt to the handover, JULL carries the risk of loss, theft or damage to your bag, up to the agreed payout.
- Everything in writing, signed on your phone. A drop-off receipt the moment you hand the bag over, a condition report with intake photographs, and the consignment agreement with your payout figure. Each is e-signed, time-stamped and sent to you as a PDF.
- Authenticated by hand. Every piece is examined by our team and verified with independent third-party authentication services, including Entrupy, before it is listed. Our buyers trust the JULL Standard, which is why they pay full price.
- Buyers who are already looking. byjull.com is read by Google, by ChatGPT and the other assistants, and by the clients on our list who have asked for a specific model, colour and size. A new consignment is offered to them on the day it arrives.
- Paid properly. Bank transfer only, to a UK account in your own name, with a statement. We do not pay in cash. Your identity document is seen once, for the payout, and handled under our Consignor Privacy Notice.
- The founder, not a counter. Guilherme Ribeiro inspects the bag, agrees the figure with you and answers the WhatsApp himself, with a small team behind him. The person who promised you the number is the person who pays it.
- A record you can check. Every review on Google is 5.0 to date; the company and its director are on Companies House. None of that is ours to edit.
03b — Against a consignment boutique
Where the usual consignment deal leaves you, and where ours does.
Most consignment in London runs on a percentage. It sounds simple, and it is, for the boutique. For the seller it means the real figure is only known at the end, after a discount you did not choose and a cut you cannot see. We built our terms as the answer to that.
| A typical percentage consignment | Consignment with JULL | |
|---|---|---|
| Your figure | A percentage of whatever the bag eventually sells for; known only on the day of the sale. | A sum in pounds, agreed in writing before the bag is listed; it does not change. |
| Price reductions | Often at the boutique’s discretion; each one lowers your net. | Ours to make, but never below your figure without your written consent. |
| Loss or damage | Frequently left to the small print, or to your own insurance. | JULL carries the risk from the drop-off receipt to the handover, up to your agreed payout. |
| Paperwork | A ticket, sometimes an email. | Drop-off receipt, condition report with photographs, signed agreement; each e-signed and sent to you as a PDF. |
| Where the buyers come from | Walk-in and a website. | Showroom, byjull.com, Google Shopping, the feeds the AI assistants read, and a list of clients who have asked for your model. |
| If it does not sell | Varies: storage fees, automatic reductions, a lapsed listing. | It comes back to you. No listing fee, no storage fee within the period. |
| If you need cash today | Not usually an option. | We quote an outright offer alongside the consignment figure, and tell you which we would take. |
04 — How it works
Five steps, start to payout.
Send photographs on WhatsApp
Front, back, base, interior, the blind stamp and the hardware. We reply with an indicative figure and, if you like it, book a time at the showroom or arrange an insured courier.
Hand the bag over and sign the receipt
We photograph the bag, note its condition and give you a drop-off receipt to sign on your phone. The bag is now in our custody and under our risk.
Receive your payout figure within two working days
After inspection by hand we confirm the exact sum you will receive. If you accept, you sign the consignment agreement; if not, the bag goes back to you at no cost.
We sell it
Photography, the showroom floor, byjull.com, Google Shopping, the AI feeds and our client list. The listing runs for 60 days. You can ask how it is going at any time.
You are paid
Within seven working days of the buyer’s cleared funds, by transfer to your account, with a statement. If the bag has not sold by the end of the period, you collect it from the showroom within seven days, or we return it by insured courier at cost.
05 — What we take
Hermès first. Chanel by arrangement.
Birkin, Kelly, Mini Kelly, Constance, Lindy, Picotin, Evelyne, Bolide, Kelly To Go and the rest of the house, in leather and in exotic skins, from unworn to honestly worn. Special orders and horseshoe-stamped pieces are welcome. We also consign Hermès jewellery, belts, shoes and scarves when the piece is right, and selected Chanel classics. Bring the box, dust bag and receipt if you have them; the bag alone is accepted.
What we do not take: pieces we cannot authenticate to our standard, heavily restored bags, and anything whose provenance we are not comfortable with. We will say so plainly rather than list something we do not believe in.
06 — Questions
Consigning with JULL: your questions.
What is consignment, in plain terms?
You leave the bag with us; we authenticate it, photograph it, list it in the showroom and online, find the buyer and handle payment and delivery. When it sells, you receive the payout we agreed in writing before it went on sale. If it does not sell within the period, it comes back to you.
How much will I get?
We quote a single figure: the exact amount you receive when the bag sells. We put that figure in the agreement before listing and it does not change, whatever price the bag finally achieves. For the same bag it is always higher than our outright purchase offer.
Why is the consignment payout higher than an outright offer?
When we buy a bag outright we pay today and carry the cost of holding it until it sells, so the offer has to leave room for that. On consignment the bag stays yours until the sale, we hold no stock, and the room we would otherwise need goes to you instead.
How long does it take to sell?
The consignment period is 60 days. Classic Birkin, Kelly and Mini Kelly in good colours often go within the first weeks; rarer pieces can take the full period. We list on byjull.com, in the Chelsea Harbour showroom, on Google Shopping and in the feeds the AI assistants read, and we offer new arrivals directly to clients who have asked for that model.
Is my bag safe with you?
Yes. BY JULL LTD is a registered UK company with a showroom at Chelsea Harbour. Every piece is photographed and condition-reported at intake, you sign a drop-off receipt on the spot, and while the bag is in our custody JULL carries the risk of loss, theft or damage up to your agreed payout. Payment goes only to a UK bank account in your own name, never in cash.
What if I change my mind?
Before authentication begins you can take the bag back at any time, free of charge. Once we have authenticated and listed it, a withdrawal carries the administrative fee set out in the agreement, because the work has been done. If the bag is reserved by a buyer it cannot be withdrawn until that reservation lapses.
What happens if the bag fails authentication?
We end the agreement and return the bag. An administrative fee of £250 (£400 for Birkin, Kelly and exotic leathers) covers the authentication, handling and storage, and is payable before the bag is returned. Pieces that fail authentication are never listed or sold.
Do I need the box, dust bag and receipt?
No. They help the sale and lift the price, so bring what you have, but a bag on its own is accepted. We will tell you honestly whether the missing pieces affect the payout we can offer.
Can I consign from outside London?
Yes. Clients send bags to us by insured courier after agreeing the figure on WhatsApp from photographs; we confirm the payout once the bag has been inspected by hand, and the same agreement, receipt and insurance apply.
How is this different from a consignment boutique that charges a percentage?
With a percentage you learn your real figure only on the day of the sale, after the boutique has decided the discount and taken its cut. With JULL you know the figure on the day you sign, and it does not move. We can lower the listing price to close a sale, but never below the point where your payout is affected, unless you agree in writing.
Can I see where my bag is?
Yes. The showroom at Harbour Yard, Chelsea Harbour, is open seven days, 10 to 18. Your bag is on the floor or in secure storage there, and you are welcome to visit it. You can also ask for an update on viewings and interest at any time on WhatsApp.
Who will I be dealing with?
The founder, Guilherme Ribeiro, and a small team. The same people inspect the bag, agree the figure with you, sell it and pay you; there is no call centre and no handover between departments.
Tell us what you have. We will tell you the figure.
WhatsApp +44 7704 870249 is answered by the founder and his team. Send the photographs and we will come back with a consignment figure and an outright offer side by side, so you can choose. Or email hello@byjull.com, or come to Chelsea Harbour with the bag.
Get your payout figure on WhatsAppConsignment is governed by the BY JULL LTD Consignment Agreement you sign before listing, which sets out the agreed payout, the 60-day period, authentication, withdrawal, insurance in our custody and payment.
