Authenticity Guaranteed

Why Trust Reems Closet?

Authenticity is at the heart of everything we do. Since opening our boutique in 2008, Reems Closet continues to be a pioneer in the resale trade of authentic preloved luxury. Here's why... 

As the first luxury resale store of its kind in Dubai and the UAE, we have built our reputation on trust, expertise, and transparency. From designer handbags and clothing to luxury shoes, accessories, watches & jewelry, every item is carefully inspected to ensure it meets strict authenticity standards.

In the world of preloved luxury, authenticity is everything.

What We Authenticate

We authenticate most luxury categories such as:

  • Handbags
  • Clothing
  • Shoes
  • Accessories
  • Jewelry & Watches

Our Authentication Process

Here's the thing — authenticity should never be left to chance. That's why every item received for sale undergoes a thorough multi-step authentication process.

Items are assessed and evaluated by inspection and analysis of:

  • Original receipt or certificate
  • Serial number
  • Date codes
  • Microchip scanning (where applicable)
  • Hallmark details
  • Brand labels
  • Hardware
  • Stitching
  • Embellishment and detailing
  • Leather or fabric quality
  • Overall craftsmanship
  • Stamping accuracy
  • Inclusions

For designer watches such as Rolex and Cartier, we use a reputable third party for authentication. Some of the details inspected and assessed in the process will be movement consistency, case structure, bracelet integrity, and serial engraving.

Brand Expertise Across Luxury Houses

Our authentication expertise covers many luxury brands and iconic pieces including but not limited to:

  • Chanel: iconic handbags such as a Classic Flap and Reissue 2.55
  • Hermès: investment pieces like a Birkin or Kelly
  • Louis Vuitton: the beloved Speedy or Neverfull Tote
  • Cartier: fine jewelry such as the timeless Love Bracelet 

Seller and Buyer Assurance

Trust works both ways and is of the utmost importance within the preloved luxury market, that is why we require all sellers/consignors to:

  • Sign a legal consignment agreement in person
  • Create a registered consignment account
  • Provide valid identitifaction such as a UAE ID card
  • Provide an email address (all correspodence and confirmations are required via email)
  • Provide bank details in the registered account holders name (payments will be made via bank transfer)

This ensures full transparency, accountability, and legal protection for Reems Closet and all our sellers/consignors and buyers. All sellers and buyers information is private and confidential — we do not sell or share data. 

What We Promise

We never compromise on authenticity at any stage of evaluation. An item that raises concern is immediately paused for further invesitgation. Unless authenticated by us or an original receipt can be provided that verifies the purchase, the item will be rejected and not offered for sale.

Reems Closet's stellar reputation is built on transparency, expertise, and longevity (over 18 years) within the luxury reasle market of the UAE and GCC.
