The House
A vault, not a marketplace
We buy and sell a small number of luxury handbags — authenticated by us, photographed by us, and released only when they are ready for a next chapter.
Where it began
Two sisters, and a bag that deserved better than a drawer
Sorellavie started with a single, much-loved piece and a simple disagreement: resale had become loud, hurried, and careless with the things women actually carry. We wanted a quieter room for them.
We still work that way. Each bag is handled by a person, described in plain language, and sold once. When it leaves the vault, it does not come back as a listing.
Why the vault stays small
We buy directly and turn most submissions away. A piece enters only when the leather, the hardware, and the story are worth keeping.
Authenticated in house
Stitching, stamping, hardware, and material are assessed by our specialists before a bag is photographed or offered. If a piece is ever proven inauthentic, we refund it in full.
Why sell to us
No listing, no account, no fees. You send photographs. We reply with a clear offer, or an honest no. Payment follows insured collection.
The founders
A note from the house
We are Elena and Mara Sorella. One of us trained in leather goods; the other spent a decade in client service for the maisons whose bags we now look after. The vault is still the two of us, plus the specialists who authenticate beside us. We answer the mail ourselves.
