Private Sourcing

GCC & Africa Luxury Sourcing Concierge

Some pieces are not bought in a shop. They are found through the right relationships, verified by the right eyes, and delivered with the discretion their value deserves. Clutch is a Dubai-based private sourcing desk for collectors across the Gulf and Africa who want a specific Hermès or Chanel piece sourced properly, without public negotiation or guesswork.

From our base in Dubai, we serve private clients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman, and across Africa, including Lagos, Johannesburg, Accra, Nairobi, and beyond. Dubai's position as a luxury crossroads means access, and our role is to turn that access into the exact Birkin, Kelly, Constance, or Classic Flap you have in mind, authenticated and condition-reviewed before anything is confirmed.

Share the model, colour, hardware, size, condition preference, and timeline; a WhatsApp message is enough to begin. The desk reviews realistic availability through trusted private routes, not a public listing, and you receive a private shortlist of photographs, video, condition notes, accessories, and clear terms. Each piece is authenticated and verified before any purchase step is confirmed, then we arrange discreet, cross-border delivery to your city, with customs and documentation handled. Distance should not mean risk: we document every piece in writing, share full photography before you commit, and no piece is shipped until you are comfortable with condition, price, and terms. There is no payment required to enquire, and for clients who prefer it, collection in Dubai can also be arranged.

Most clients come to us for Hermès sourcing and Chanel sourcing, the two houses we know best. Birkin requests are handled through Birkin Private Sourcing and Kelly requests through Kelly Private Sourcing. You can also browse the curated Hermès Icons and Chanel Icons galleries to see the kind of pieces we source. Whatever you are looking for, the first step is the same: tell us the piece, and let the desk do the looking.

Do you deliver outside the UAE?

Yes. We arrange discreet delivery from Dubai across the GCC, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman, and to Africa, with customs and documentation handled for you.

How do I know the piece is authentic before it ships?

Every piece is reviewed through Legit Grails, an independent authentication service, before any purchase step. You receive full condition notes and detailed photography privately, and nothing is shipped until you have confirmed you are comfortable.

Is there a fee or payment to enquire?

No. Enquiring is free and private. We confirm availability, condition, and clear pricing before any payment is discussed.

Which brands do you focus on?

We're a general luxury sourcing concierge, spanning houses including Hermès, Chanel, Loro Piana, Miu Miu, Van Cleef & Arpels, Goyard, and more, all held in current stock or sourced by private brief.

How long does cross-border sourcing take?

Timelines depend on the specific piece and its rarity. We give a realistic estimate once we have your brief, and keep you updated through the sourcing window.
