What Luxépolis.com does

Luxépolis is an India-based online marketplace for buying and selling authenticated pre-owned luxury goods, founded in 2015 and operating under the legal entity Luxepolis Retail Services Pvt Ltd, headquartered in Mumbai. The platform serves individual consumers and consignors, offering verified items across categories including women's and men's fashion, luxury watches, jewellery, and Indian designer bridal lehengas from brands such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Gucci, Prada, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Sabyasachi. Its core operational capability is the in-house Luxepolis Atelier, where category specialists authenticate each item with a claimed 10+ year track record of 100% successful verification, and authenticated items receive holograms or identification marks.

The business operates on a consignment/commission marketplace model. Luxepolis charges sellers a tiered commission: 25% on sold value up to INR 2 lakhs and 20% above that threshold for seller-picked-up items (75-80% seller payout), with higher rates of 30% and 25% respectively for items in Luxepolis custody; a flat INR 740 catalog processing fee applies per sold product. Additional revenue comes from buyer shipping fees (INR 200 for orders up to INR 30,000, INR 470 above) and a 4.7% refund surcharge. Distribution combines an owned e-commerce storefront at luxepolis.com, a physical Mumbai Experience Center for in-person viewing, and a WhatsApp Concierge service for personalized assistance, with pan-India delivery covering all PIN codes.

The customer base spans Tier 1, 2, and 3 Indian cities, with 42% of revenue reportedly derived from smaller cities—a notable distribution profile in a market where many competitors focus on metros. The catalog lists 29,994+ products. Marketing relies on earned media coverage in Forbes, Vogue Business, Economic Times, Bloomberg TV, and other tier-one outlets, alongside Trustpilot reviews and social/email community building. Luxepolis is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding and operates with a 1-10 person team, with corporate and operations offices in Mumbai.
