Our story
It started with a feeling.
That little lift when you find something you love. The confidence. The smile. The feeling that inspired Luxity in the first place.

A note from Luke
A happy place to begin.
Growing up I have always noticed how clothes had the power to change my mom's mood and give her the confidence for being the super mom that she has always been! I also realized that all women were influenced on some level, in the same way too. Whether it be a new handbag or pair of shoes, these items have the power to create a sense of happiness. And that is why Luxity was started, with one goal: To make you happy.

The Luxity journey
From 25 pieces
to four cities.
There was a practical side to that happiness, too. Beautiful pieces were sitting in wardrobes, waiting to be loved again. And people wanted a way to buy and sell them that felt safe and straightforward. Luke Calitz and Michael Zahariev saw the opportunity to bring those two sides together.
Our first collection lived online. Then came our first boutique in Melrose Arch in 2017, followed by a second at the Cape Quarter. Suddenly, you could meet us, try on the bag you had been eyeing and see the details for yourself. Trust had a front door.
Today, our story stretches across four South African cities. The collection has grown from those early handbags and accessories to a world of watches, jewellery, shoes and more. But the reason for it all is still wonderfully simple: helping you find something that makes you happy.

Be Authenticâ„¢
The confidence to fall in love.
It is hard to enjoy a beautiful piece if there is a little doubt at the back of your mind. We want you to enjoy every bit of it: opening the box, trying it on and knowing it is yours.
That is why every item is inspected and authenticated by our in-house Luxury Brand Experts before it is listed. It is careful work, and it comes with a promise that stays with your piece.
Our lifetime authenticity guarantee: if an item we sold you is proven to be counterfeit, we refund 100% of your money, including delivery costs.
Our authentication processLoved before. Ready for more.
Good things deserve
another chapter.
You know the bag you loved for years, but hardly reach for anymore? Somewhere, someone is looking for exactly that one. We think there is something rather lovely about bringing the two of you together.
Buying pre-owned keeps beautiful craftsmanship in use. Selling makes room for what comes next. A piece can be part of your everyday life, then go on to become someone else's favourite.
Much of that journey happens right here in South Africa, with pieces passing from local sellers to local buyers. The items stay in use, and their value keeps moving through our own communities. A little more life for the things we love.
A place for you
Your style. Your Luxity.
Maybe it is your very first designer purchase. Maybe you know exactly which watch belongs in your collection. Or perhaps you have simply popped in for a look. There is room for all of that here, and we would love to help you find your next favourite.
Your Interests help us keep you close to the pieces you love. Our loyalty programme adds more to look forward to, from Early Access to the private shopping experiences and invitations that come with Xclusive. Because feeling part of Luxity should last well beyond the day you take something home.
Now, for your part of the story.
Something to fall in love with. Something to pass on. A place to feel welcome.
