The shop was filled with beautiful purses, displayed fabulously. Such a nice collection of Designer purses. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I am really pleased with my very gently used Louis Vuitton.
Love the accuracy and presentation of the merchandise. It came cleaned and beautifully presented in a duster bag cover. Shipping was fast and easy with shop app.
I love shopping at Designer Couture. Their inventory is impressive and the quality is outstanding.
Always a great experience, I will never buy from any consignment store except here. Fast shipping.
Excellent experience from start to finish. My item was as described and I am 100% satisfied I will definitely be back again.
I saw a bag online and because some other resellers rate bag conditions inaccurately, I wanted to see it in person. The online description was not only accurate, the bag was even better in real life than described. Top that off with an amazing selection of bags that were all priced really well AND a super fun experience with helpful and just delightful people. I will be back and have already recommended Couture USA to three friends.
