How does the Sandro Secondhand trade-in service work?

The offer is limited to individuals aged 18 and over residing in Metropolitan France, including Corsica, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Austria and Luxembourg.

We do not accept items purchased before 2017, as well as women's tops and t-shirts from before 2019. Additionally, personalized items are not eligible for trade-ins.

Your item must be clean and fully functional: zippers, seams, and elastics should be without defects, no missing parts (buttons, ornaments), no holes or tears, and no stains or odors. Stained, damaged, and/or incomplete items will not receive a return credit.

We distinguish several levels of condition:

New condition: with original tags, never worn.
Excellent condition: the item is like new with no signs of wear or defects.
Very good condition: the item only shows minor signs of wear, invisible from 30 cm away.

Follow the steps of our return process to identify the products you wish to sell, create your account, and provide your information. There are two return options:
1) In-store drop-off (only available in Metropolitan France): drop off your items at one of our participating stores and receive your voucher immediately.
2) Postal shipping (available wherever we operate): we provide you with a prepaid shipping label. Send us your products in the box of your choice. You can drop off your package at a Post Office, pickup point, or Chronopost Agency. Upon receiving your package, our teams will inspect the condition of your items. If our conditions are met, you will be notified by email within 15 days that your account has been credited.
Log in to the "my credits" section of your Sandro second-hand customer account and generate your store credit at your convenience.

Once generated, your store credit is valid for one year and can be used online at sandro-paris.com, on secondemain.sandro-paris.com, or in Sandro boutiques only available for the Netherlands.

If my product is found to be non-compliant, will it be returned to me?

No: In accordance with our terms and conditions and in line with our more responsible, we do not return items that, during inspection by our experts, do not meet our return conditions.
Rest assured: rejected items still receive a second life. They are donated to an association specialized in textile recovery or reused by a partner in an upcycling process.

However, in the case of a store trade-in (only available in a selection of stores in France), if your item is deemed non-compliant by our sales team, you will be able to retrieve it immediately. No voucher will be issued to you.

How are items reconditioned?

Each piece available on the Sandro Secondhand website undergoes numerous stages to guarantee its authenticity, condition and cleanliness.

- Receiving pieces: Customers who have resold a Sandro item they no longer wear will receive a prepaid shipping label. This enables them to send their items free of charge and directly to the French textile reconditioning specialist with whom we work. Product authentication, cleaning, quality control, storage, shipping and returns of Sandro Secondhand items are carried out on site. After the items have been checked and authenticated by our specialists, customers receive a voucher to use on the Sandro Secondhand website, in our physical stores or on sandro-paris.com.

- Cleaning second-hand pieces: All incoming pieces are sorted according to the kind of washing they require. Cleaning depends on the characteristics of the garment, such as its material, any embellishments, colour, etc. Depending on these criteria, the garments will be cleaned directly by the specialist or sent to the dry cleaner. Delicate pieces are cleaned in separate bags to preserve the quality of the fabric. For cleaning, the specialist uses REACH-certified products from the ECOLAB brand (so they comply with current regulations and legislation), manufactured at the Châlons-en-Champagne production site and ISO 14001-certified (a standard applied to environmental management systems). Depending on the specifics of each piece, they will be machine-dried or dried on hangers.

- Ironing & quality control: The cleaned and dried pieces are then ironed, and our experts carry out rigorous quality control, including a detailed analysis of the overall condition of the piece and the quality of the fabric, checking the completeness and condition of the buttons, the inside of the pockets, the seams, etc.

- Possible repairs and refurbishment: Designed to last, most of the pieces we receive are in excellent or very good condition. However, if necessary, certain pieces can be sent for repair in order to offer you pieces of impeccable quality on the Sandro Secondhand website. Our experts carry out minor repairs such as reinforcing buttons, sewing on labels, redoing invisible stitches, etc. The repaired pieces then undergo a second quality check.

- Photoshoots & Storage: The pieces are now ready to be photographed and uploaded to the Sandro Secondhand website. Pending their second life in your wardrobe, they are stored by our specialists in a dedicated space.
