ABOUT THE CURATION
CURATION STANDARD
Our commitment to original condition and long-term value
CURATION
At la boutique PARIS, we believe that true luxury lies in authenticity and preservation.
That is why every item in our collection is personally curated and only selected if it meets our strict standards for original condition and long-term value.
What we accept
We only acquire handbags and accessories that are in excellent, original condition.
This means:
- original leather and color
- original stitching and structure
- original hardware
- no external interventions of any kind
What we do not accept
To protect the integrity and value of each item, we never purchase pieces that have undergone:
- bag spa treatments or deep cleaning
- recoloring or repainting
- repairs or reconstruction
- reglazing or refinishing
- hardware replacement
- artificial “refreshing” or touch-ups
Why original condition matters
Only an item that has remained fully original preserves its authenticity, collectability and market value.
Once a luxury item is altered by third parties, its value decreases and its authenticity becomes less verifiable.
The standard set by luxury houses
Luxury houses such as Chanel, Hermès and Dior do not provide service for bags that have been treated or altered by external parties.
At la boutique PARIS, we follow the same standard to ensure your item remains eligible for brand service and retains its long-term value.
We curate only the finest pieces, so you can invest in luxury that lasts.
