I started MIKUN to bring quiet, considered luxury resale to Aotearoa — the kind of personal service I had hoped for as a collector myself.
Beautifully made things, given another life — and another woman to love them.
A quiet edit of pieces we would carry ourselves, nothing more.
Verified by specialists and Entrupy AI, so confidence arrives in the box.
We honour the houses, the makers, and the hands behind every stitch.
Discreet, intentional, never loud — style that stays with you.
The Collection
A Quiet Note To You
Luxury isn't excess — it's intention. A quiet way to mark a moment, celebrate how far you've come, and invest in pieces that stay with you long after the season ends.
Not for a milestone. Not for permission. Just because the years you've poured into everyone else deserve something soft, considered, and entirely your own.
The pieces we keep longest are the ones that feel like us. Quiet on the outside, certain on the inside — the kind of luxury you don't have to explain.
A bag that outlives a decade. A piece your daughter will one day ask about. Authenticated luxury holds its value because it was made to be kept, not replaced.
Every piece is reviewed by hand and verified by Entrupy — so what arrives at your door feels exactly the way you hoped, with none of the second-guessing.
Pre-loved isn't a compromise. It's a quieter, more conscious kind of luxury — beautifully made, beautifully kept, and chosen entirely on your own terms.

MIKUN is New Zealand's specialist destination for authenticated pre-owned Chanel, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Celine, Dior, Prada, Bottega Veneta and Gucci. Every piece is curated, expert-reviewed and Entrupy-verified before listing, with insured NZ-wide shipping and concierge service in Auckland.
Every handbag passes a five-stage protocol: brand-DNA construction review, serial and date-code checks, expert specialist verification, Entrupy AI machine-learning authentication, and a final MIKUN certification. Each piece ships with a written certificate and a lifetime authentication guarantee.
Submit your piece via our Sell With Us page with a few photos and details. Our specialists respond within 48 hours with an indicative offer or consignment proposal. We handle authentication, editorial photography, listing, secure storage and payout — typically 7–14 days from submission to listing.
It is when authentication is independent and verifiable. MIKUN combines decades of luxury specialist experience with Entrupy AI — the world's leading machine-learning authentication platform used by major resale houses globally. Every certificate is registered and traceable.
Yes. We offer fully insured, signature-required courier delivery anywhere in Aotearoa. Shipping is complimentary on orders over NZ$500. Auckland clients can arrange private collection or appointment viewing.
MIKUN offers a 14-day return window on all purchases. Items must be returned unworn with their authentication certificate and original packaging. The lifetime authentication guarantee remains valid regardless of return.
Pre-loved luxury at MIKUN is typically priced 20–45% below current retail, while collector and discontinued pieces (Hermès Birkin, Chanel seasonal) often appreciate above original price. Unlike overseas marketplaces, every MIKUN price includes NZ-based authentication, GST clarity, insured shipping and local concierge support.
Entrupy is the leading AI authentication platform for luxury handbags, trained on millions of microscopic surface images across heritage houses. MIKUN uses Entrupy alongside human specialist review so authentication is both technological and considered — every piece is verified twice.
