What is Catawiki and how does it work?

Founded in 2008, Catawiki organizes weekly online auctions with more than 600 events in categories such as art, jewelry, watches, classic cars, and handbags.

They also host specific handbag auctions like “Exclusive Bags” or “Louis Vuitton Bags Auction,” managed by in-house curators.

Catawiki has over 240 experts who select items, evaluate listings, and ensure each piece meets their standards. Approximately two-thirds of objects sell within 10 days of being listed on the platform.

However, as a generalist marketplace, it does not offer the dedicated experience that brands like PopAuctioon have developed.

How does PopAuctioon differ?

Absolute specialization in luxury handbags

We are the world’s first platform exclusively dedicated to auctioning authentic luxury handbags and accessories, operated by professionals who truly understand the market.

Ultra-dedicated and professional service

We work only with verified stores (PopStores) and collaborate with Kewaybags, a leader in Spain and Italy since 2013, providing physical expertise and technology such as Entrupy to guarantee authenticity.

Frequent and accessible auctions

While Catawiki organizes only a few handbag auctions per year, PopAuctioon runs weekly and monthly auctions. Your bag can be active in just days, not months.

Fast sales and maximum trust

If you prefer not to auction, you can sell directly and receive payment in less than 24 hours. No delays or uncertainty.

Authenticity and transparency at every step

Every handbag is verified by professionals or Entrupy technology, with a clear protocol that ensures complete security for buyers.
