For Bag Owners
Earn monthly rental income, sell with an 85% payout, or both. The Handoffs gives bag owners three ways to earn — with free authentication, full insurance, and complete control.
Choose the track that works for you — or combine rental income with a sale.
Member Credits
$60/month
in credits while your bag is in the pool
$720/year per bag
Active members earn credits that reduce your membership fee dollar-for-dollar. Your bag earns whether it's rented or waiting — as long as it's in the pool.
Best for members who want to offset their subscription cost.
Consigner Cash
$50/month
cash while your bag is actively rented
Prorated to the day, paid via Stripe
Non-members earn cash deposited directly to your bank account after each rental completes. No membership required — just connect Stripe.
Best for non-members who want passive cash income.
Sell via Try Before You Buy
85%
payout when your bag sells
Only 15% commission
List your bag for sale at a price you set. Renters try it first and can buy it outright. You earn rental income while waiting, then 85% when it sells.
Best for owners ready to part with their bag at a great return.
From submitting your bag to earning your first income, here's the simple process.
01
List your designer bag with photos and details. Tell us the brand, model, condition, and purchase year. Optionally set a sale price for Try Before You Buy.
02
Our experts verify authenticity. We assess condition, take professional photos, and may suggest a market value. Completely free.
03
Once approved, your bag becomes available to rent. If listed for sale, renters see the price and can buy it during their rental.
04
Members earn $60/month in credits while their bag is in the pool. Non-members earn $50/month cash while their bag is actively rented via Stripe. If a renter buys your bag, you receive 85% of the sale price.
Sell Your Bag
Why settle for 50-70% at a consignment shop when you can keep 85% — and earn rental income while you wait?

We've answered the questions we hear most from contributors and sellers.
It depends on your track. Active members earn $60/month in credits while their bag is in the pool ($720/year if available all year). Non-members (consigners) earn $50/month cash while their bag is actively rented, prorated and paid directly to your bank account via Stripe. You can also list your bag for sale — if a renter buys it, you receive 85% of the sale price.
For members, credits accumulate monthly and apply directly to your membership fee. For consigners, cash payouts are transferred to your connected bank account after each rental completes. If your bag sells through Try Before You Buy, the payout (85% of sale price) is deposited within a few business days.
Yes! Each bag earns independently. Members with multiple bags can stack credits. Consigners earn cash per rental on each bag.
Yes. When you submit your bag, you can toggle "List for Sale" and set your asking price. Our team may also suggest a market value after inspection. Renters see the sale price and can purchase the bag during their rental.
When a renter has your for-sale bag, they can choose to buy it instead of returning it. They pay the listed price, you receive 85%, and we keep a 15% commission. No return needed — the bag is theirs.
Absolutely. Your bag earns rental income (credits or cash) while it's in the pool. If a renter decides to buy it, the sale completes and you receive your 85% payout. You earn from both rentals and the eventual sale.
The RealReal takes 30-50% commission and you earn nothing while your bag waits to sell. Fashionphile offers ~60-70% buyout with no waiting income. The Handoffs charges only 15% commission, pays you rental income while waiting, and lets you set your own price. You keep 85% when it sells.
Your bag should be in gently used condition — no major flaws, tears, or staining. We accept some minor wear (scratches, slight color fading) which is normal for luxury goods. Bags must be authentic and fully functional.
Yes. Every contributed bag is fully insured while in our pool and during rentals. We cover accidental damage from normal use. If a renter damages your bag, insurance covers it.
Absolutely. Recall your bag at any time, no questions asked. If it's currently being rented, we retrieve it from the renter and ship it back to you within 14 business days.
No! Anyone can contribute bags. Members earn $60/month in credits while their bag is in the pool. Non-members earn $50/month cash while their bag is actively rented — you just need to connect a bank account via Stripe for payouts.
Authentication typically takes 1-3 business days from receipt. We'll notify you once your bag is verified and ready to start earning.
We email you a prepaid shipping label. You pack your bag securely and ship it to our authentication facility.
Whether you want monthly rental income, an 85% sale payout, or both — getting started takes just a few minutes.
