We are no ordinary online store, but a whimsical emporium filled with enchanted treasures. And oh, how we want our customers to have peace of mind and experience the joy of finding genuine treasures!

Unlike those sneaky luxury resellers who dare to charge extra for authenticating their precious goods (or worse, don't offer the service at all - *GASP!*), we offer a different approach. We believe in fairness and enchantment, offering an authenticity guarantee on every single handbag. And guess what? We do it all for free!

Once passed our thorough in-house inspection, items are whisked away to a land of marvels, where state-of-the-art technology and skilled experts join forces. We have a special partnership with the legendary Entrupy, who possesses highly advanced and scientifically proven software. Together, we work our magic to authenticate every item.

Stitching, certificates, hardware, materials, serial numbers, and codes, oh my! Every little detail is carefully scrutinised during this authentication process. With an eagle eye for quality and a knack for uncovering unique identifiers, our experts leave no stone unturned, for we are determined to ensure that each item is truly genuine.

But the tale does not end there! Once items are thoroughly reviewed and verified as authentic, a magical Certificate of Authenticity is conjured. This certificate, bearing the seal of an independent, globally recognised expert in authentication, accompanies the treasured item on its journey to its loving new home.

So, fear not, for every item that graces the virtual shelves of this marvelous store have been rigorously examined, and authenticity guaranteed by a trusted, third party expert. See? Fairy tales do come true in the world of authentic treasures

While most luxury resellers rely on consignment or the generosity of peers, our charming e-boutique possesses an extraordinary secret. We own all our exquisite items outright, as if each treasure was a precious gem bestowed upon us by fairy godmothers.

To ensure the utmost delight, ease, and tranquility for our cherished customers, we are discerning in selecting the most enchanting items to grace our virtual shelves. However, if you possess an authentic designer bag, one that has been lovingly cared for and in excellent condition, we will gladly consider giving it a new purpose. All you have to do is send us an expression of interest, and like benevolent fairies themselves, we might even offer to purchase it outright from you, bestowing upon it a new life and a new journey.

As with all fairy tales, not everything is always as perfect as it seems. Although love at first sight is a common occurrence in this whimsical world, it does not always guarantee a happily ever after.

As kind-hearted merchants at Twice Upon a Time, we believe in honesty and transparency. We provide detailed and truthful product descriptions, accompanied by a globally recognised authenticity guarantee. Because of this, all sales are considered final, and refunds are not possible due to a simple change of heart.

We are upfront about the condition of our items. After all, these bags and accessories have already lived through their own magical adventures. As we specialise in vintage items, there will be wear and tear here and there, and its crucial for you to manage you own expectations in this regard.

Given the tremendous demand and the unique non-consignment model of Twice Upon a Time, its your responsibility to carefully read the product descriptions and examine the detailed photographs before making a purchase. These descriptions and images are a vital part of the item's story, providing an accurate and up-to-date portrayal.

Nevertheless, our enchanting store is not without compassion. If, by any chance, you receive an item that falls short of expectations, or if you believe that the condition has not been fully disclosed or accurately described, a glimmer of hope remains. Reach out to us by sending an email to support@twiceuponatime.com.au. The diligent team will respond promptly, eager to discuss the matter further and find a resolution fit for a fairy tale ending.
