We currently consign all A-list authentic women's and men's luxury designer clothing, accessories, shoes and beauty products from the likes of: Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Dior, Valentino, Prada, Saint Laurent, etc. We are only consigning items from the last 3/4 seasons. We say NO to fakes and therefore we won't accept any items that cannot be determined as authentic. If an item doesn't pass our authentication process the seller will be charged a £100 fee. We are also not consigning vintage or high-street fashion. We remind any beauty sellers to only upload unopened and brand new items from highly desirable brands to reflect the current market.

The most important thing for Loop Generation is the authenticity of all items listed on its site so the seller must be sure of the authenticity before listing. All purchased items will need to be delivered to us for quality and authenticity checks before they get delivered to the buyer.

When deciding on the prices, please keep in mind the item’s condition, desirability and age. We suggest you check similar items already listed on our platform for guidance. It is at our discretion to allow or disallow a seller's asking price. We may ask you to correct the asking price if necessary. When the item is sold we will need you to deliver it to us so please be sure to include the shipping cost in the price of the item.

First of all - you don't need to be a professional photographer in order to start listing your items with Loop Generation. You won't need a studio or a mannequin either and all you need is your iPhone camera and a plain background in a brightly lit room. Always photograph the entire item, keep the background simple and avoid blurred or filtered images. The first photograph should always show the front of the item (we will be using this picture to crop out the background so it matches the rest of our edit). Below you can find more useful information about photographing your item and here you can also find a visual guide to photographing your items

Clothing:

• We advise you photograph dresses, jackets and tops on a hanger with a neutral background (e.g. a white wall or plain doors)
• We advise you photograph trousers, skirts and shorts flat from above. Please keep the trousers folded in the first shot (you can find some exmaples in the shorts&trousers section on our website)
• Please take pictures of the front and back of the item as well as additional pictures of the details (neck-line, logo, embroidery, sleeves, etc.)
• Please include photographs detailing any faults

• Clear, detailed photos improve browsing and increase selling potential
