How can I become a member of Bellerose Second-Hand?

 

The services of Bellerose Second-Hand are reserved for members.

Registration is open to all adults living in Belgium, France or the Netherlands.

 

To buy or sell items, you simply need to create an account by clicking on "Account" and then "Register".

You will also be asked to register when validating your basket or following the steps in our "Selling" procedure.

 

The trade-in service is limited to a maximum of 5 items per member over 30 days.

What clothes can I sell at Bellerose Second-Hand?

 

Bellerose Second-Hand takes back your Bellerose ready-to-wear clothing (women's, men's, and children's) issued after 2012. This excludes all accessories, jewelry, underwear, socks, and shoes.

 

In doubt? Check the serial number of your garment in the "Estimate the value of my item" section.

 

Your item must be clean, intact, and perfectly functional. Make sure your garment has no holes, tears, stains, or odors. It must not have been altered in any way and must have all its original features.

 

To give every item of clothing the chance of a new life, we only accept items that fall into one of the following categories:

 

New condition: The item has never been worn and still has its original label.

Excellent condition: The item is like new, with no signs of wear or damage.

Very good condition: The item shows only minor signs of wear, invisible at 30 cm.

 

Bellerose Second-Hand reserves the right to redefine the condition of each garment sent after examination by our Quality Experts.

 

Rest assured: rejected garments will still be given a second life. They are given to an association specializing in textile recovery or are reused by a partner in an upcycling approach.

 

How much will I be paid for my item?

 

When you make your trade-in request, our simulator suggests a buy-back value of between 30% and 60% of the original retail price (including tax).

 

This offer is estimated according to the nature of the product and the condition you declare for each item. The value of your trade-in will be validated or adjusted if necessary by our Quality Experts following examination of the actual state of each item. 

 

The final amount will be credited directly to your Bellerose Second-Hand account within 15 working days from the date of receipt of your parcel in our warehouse.

IN-STORE TRADE-IN 

STEP 1: REQUESTING A MEETING

Members can request an in-store meeting at a Bellerose location of their choice through Second-hand.bellerose.be. Meetings can be scheduled up to 24 hours in advance and are available on Mondays and Thursdays, up to 30 minutes before the store closes. After submitting a request, the Member will receive an email confirmation from the store.

 

STEP 2: IN-STORE TRADING

At the store, the salesperson will welcome the member and register their pieces on Second-hand.bellerose.be to obtain an estimate of the trade-in value using an automatic calculator. To do so, the salesperson will inspect each item and evaluate its condition. The estimated value is based on various criteria such as type, material, condition, etc., and is automatically generated. The decision and amount will not be subject to negotiation. The Member is free to accept or decline the offer. If they accept the offer, the salesperson will ask them to sign the present CUV CGV.

STEP 3: CREDIT AND VOUCHER

The Member shall receive the amount of their Credit in the electronic wallet of their Member Account, accessible in the "Credits" section on the Website. This amount is credited only after the Articles have been validated by the salesperson.

The seller can generate a voucher instead of the member to use in the shop.

If the member does not wish to use their voucher in the shop, they can generate a voucher themselves from their member area to use online at bellerose.be or second-hand.bellerose.be.
