About KYM | Certified Pre-Owned Luxury Designer Fashion
Authenticated Pre-Owned Luxury

Who we are. How we work.

KYM is a UK destination for authenticated pre-owned luxury fashion, built around considered curation, specialist authentication and a more lasting way to buy and sell designer pieces.

Our Story

Where great pieces live on.

2023

Founded in 2023, KYM was built on a simple conviction: the world's most beautiful fashion deserves a second chapter. What began as a specialist service for authenticated pre-owned handbags from luxury maisons — including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Dior, and Gucci — has grown quickly into one of the UK's most trusted destinations for luxury resale.

"The best pieces in the world deserve a second chapter. That's what we exist to give them."

Located on Oxford Street — one of the world's most celebrated shopping addresses — our flagship store serves as the heart of our operations. Our expertise extends far beyond handbags. We offer a meticulously curated edit of luxury apparel, premium footwear, and rare, collectible watches.

Unlike a traditional marketplace, KYM is a curated luxury boutique. Every item is personally sourced, inspected, and authenticated by our in-house specialists before it reaches our showroom or online customers. That rigorous standard of care is the foundation of everything we do.

As part of the RM365 Group, KYM upholds core values of authenticity, sustainability, and responsible growth. While we operate with a distinct identity rooted in high-end fashion, we remain committed to providing a secure, transparent, and expert-led shopping experience for luxury enthusiasts across the UK and beyond.

What We Stand For
I

Authenticity Assured

Every item is inspected across hardware, stitching, leather, lining, date codes and heat stamps — maison by maison. We guarantee the authenticity of everything we sell. No exceptions.

II

Curation Over Volume

We are not a marketplace. Every piece on the KYM edit has been selected, approved and priced by our team. Deliberate, considered, and never overwhelming.

III

Circular Luxury

Extending the life of something already exceptional is the most forward-thinking thing you can do in fashion. Pre-owned isn't second-best — it's the more considered choice.

IV

Transparent Pricing

We show RRP comparisons, provide honest condition grading and never inflate. Buy or sell — you'll always understand the market and why a price is what it is.

V

Personal Service

Our specialists are here for the questions that matter — searching for a specific piece, getting a valuation, or simply browsing in store. Expert, unhurried, always personal.

VI

Repair & Restoration

Great pieces deserve expert care. From hardware polishing and leather conditioning to structural restoration — we help pre-owned luxury last another decade.
