Retailer update, September 6, 2026: This review describes my purchase in 2023. Matchesfashion Limited entered administration on March 8, 2024, according to Companies House. The Matches website currently displays a “Relaunching 2026” notice. My earlier experience does not establish the new operation's delivery, returns or customer service. The old purchase links and promotion are no longer offered here.

The original version of this article included affiliate purchase links. Those links have been removed.

My original Matches Fashion shopping experience

Why I chose Matches Fashion in 2023

At the time, I liked Matches Fashion's selection of luxury clothes and accessories. Its collection of European brands made it a useful place for me to browse different designers together.

My experience buying a Judith Leiber bag

The Judith Leiber bag from my 2023 purchase

I already had a few novelty bags in my handbag collection, but I had been eyeing another. I found the Judith Leiber design I wanted at Matches Fashion and applied a promotion to my order.

My bag arrived quickly and in the condition I expected. I was pleased with the purchase and the deal I found. This was my own experience with an order placed in 2023.

Which brands did I browse?

Luxury shopping in the original Matches Fashion review

My favorites in the retailer's selection at the time included Saint Laurent, Judith Leiber, Burberry, Chloé, Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Loewe, The Row and Valentino. That list describes what I browsed for the original review; it is not a current stock list.

Is the original discount code still valid?

The bag featured in my original review

The original review mentioned a 30% promotion using the code 30OFFER. That was an offer associated with the 2023 article, and I cannot confirm it is valid today. Do not rely on that code or the former worldwide shipping claim when considering a future order. Check the retailer's current terms, availability and delivery policy once shopping is available.

My thoughts on the purchase
