About the handbags
Are your handbags genuine and 100% authentic?
We pride ourselves on only using verified, reputable suppliers for all our handbag purchases. All our handbags are guaranteed 100% authentic - we have zero tolerance for counterfeit goods.
What condition are the handbags in?
All handbags purchased by us are brand new. They go through stringent quality control checks to ensure they are in "as new" condition before being sent to our customers.
How long can I borrow a handbag for?
Each handbag is available to hire by the week or the month. If at the end of that period you wish to continue using it please drop us an email at admin@handbagsfromheaven.co.uk to let us know. If you wish to switch your handbag for another one at the end of the period, please check out your new handbag via the online order process within 48 hours before your current one is due for return. We will then deliver your new handbag when we collect your current one.
What happens if a handbag becomes dirty, damaged or lost?
As you share our love of fabulous handbags we would hope that you would care for our handbags as well as if they were your own. In the unfortunate event something did happen you should inform us by email on admin@handbagsfromheaven.co.uk as soon as possible.
Dirty/Damaged handbags
Once we have received your email we will ask you to return the handbag back to us immediately so we can assess the extent and prevent any further damage from taking place. In making our assessment, we will consider the length of time which you had the handbag and normal wear and tear. If damage beyond normal wear and tear has taken place to the extent that the bag becomes incapable of being repaired or restored to its original condition (fair wear and tear excepted) you will be charged a replacement fee. If the handbag is capable of being repaired or restored to its original condition (fair wear and tear excepted) we may charge you a lesser amount than the relevant Replacement Fee to cover the cost of such repair or restoration. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details on Replacement Fees.
Lost handags
If the handbag has been lost, you will be charged a replacement fee, which can vary depending on the item in question. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details on Replacement Fees.
Can I request a handbag that you do not have?
Of course! Drop us an email at admin@handbagsfromheaven.co.uk and we will do our very best to source it for you and let you know as soon as we have it in stock.
Can I purchase a handbag?
In order to be eligible to purchase any of our handbags you must be a Member. If you would like to apply to purchase one of our handbags please email us at admin@handbagsfromheaven.co.uk stating which handbag you are interested in. We will then prepare a quote for you based on the handbag's age, condition and popularity. Please note that not all handbags can be purchased.
How do I hire bags?

What happens if I don't return the handbag at the end of the hire period?
If a handbag is not returned within the hire period stated on your order confirmation we will charge a further term of hire (as per the original order) until the handbag is returned.
