Luxury market intelligence — by text message.
Luxury markets — fine watches, contemporary art, rare wine, single-malt whisky, collectible handbags — are deliberately opaque. Prices live in private auction databases, dealer spreadsheets, and chat groups. Provenance is hard to verify, advisors carry conflicts, and the difference between a fair price and a bad one can be five figures on a single piece.
Loupe is a neutral intelligence layer for collectors who would rather text a photo than open a dashboard.
Send a photo or an auction-listing link. We identify the asset, pull comparable recent sales from public auction records and dealer listings, run a market-aware valuation, and reply with an estimated range and a fair-price verdict. No accounts to set up for a first valuation. No dashboards to learn.
Categories live today: watches, handbags, wine, whisky, art, jewellery, classic cars. Each category has its own data sources and pricing models — we are not a single algorithm pretending to know everything.
Loupe is operated by Aardvark Hosting, a Netherlands-based technology operator that has been running hosting and online services for clients across Europe for years. We are based in Tilburg; our registered address is in Berkel-Enschot, a district of Tilburg.
Loupe is the consumer brand; Aardvark Hosting is the legal operator that signs your contract, processes your data, and is accountable to Dutch and EU law. The same entity is the data controller named in our Privacy Policy.
Loupe is not a licensed appraiser, broker, or financial advisor. Valuations are estimates, not appraisals — useful for a sanity check, not a substitute for a qualified professional. Full disclaimer in our Terms of Service.
