Appendix B- How to Pack

Shipping luxury items is one of the most important aspects of the customer experience! Let’s make their days by providing beautiful packaging to compliment beautiful products! 

NOTES: Please include all items provided by the retailer (shopping bags, ribbon, dust bags,  authenticity cards, etc.) 

HANDBAGS

  • Do not force the handbag into the box. Choose a box size that has room for the bag. To provide extra protection, use bubble wrap to fill in gaps. 

  • Place bubble wrap on top of the item to add protection to the top of the box. This can prevent  customers from cutting straight into the items.

SHOES

  • Do not force the shoe box into a box - again, allow some space for the box to prevent any damage to the box. 

  • Ensure that both shoes are inside the box (one right foot, one left foot and the same size). 

  • Be sure to include all stuffing materials that have been provided for both shoes (if applicable)

APPAREL

  • Ensure that the apparel you are packing is protected by wrapping it in tissue paper as neatly as possible. Based on your discretion, pack in either a box or bubble mailer.

  • For larger apparel pieces (coats/jackets/bulky sweaters) that do not come with a garment bag,  ensure that it is wrapped in tissue paper and packaged in a box.  

  • For smaller apparel pieces (t-shirts, pants, scarves, hats, gloves, etc.), you may use a bubble mailer so long as the item is wrapped neatly in tissue paper. 

ACCESSORIES (including watches, sunglasses, small leather goals): 

  • Where possible, please use boxes to ship all small leather goods. Watches, sunglasses and other fragile items must be shipped in a box.  

  • Small leather goods: for SLGs that come in a branded box - you may use a bubble mailer, as  long as the branded box is wrapped in bubble wrap 

  • If there is no branded box: try to use the smallest box possible without squishing the item. You may use a box with bubble wrap on both the bottom and top. 

  • If you do not have a small size box that will fit the item, you may use a bubble mailer as long as  it is a padded bubble mailer with the item wrapped neatly in tissue.
