About

Buying a pre-owned designer piece usually means twelve open tabs and descriptions that have nothing in common: each with its own vocabulary, its own way of photographing and its own way of saying what condition it is in.

Kove Luxury exists to fix that. Every piece is described in the same words, its condition on the same scale, and the price is final, so you know what you will pay before you write.

What we are

An independent house for pre-owned designer pieces. We are not part of any fashion house and we are not an authorised dealer for any of the brands shown here.

The name

Patina is what time leaves on leather: the tone vachetta takes on, the shine hardware loses, the shape a bag settles into after years of use. It is what separates an object that has lived from one that just came out of a box. It seemed the right name for a house that sells nothing new.

Where we are

San José, Costa Rica, in person by appointment. Our inventory is in Mexico City, and each piece reaches Costa Rica within 30 days of reserving.
