Welcome to Colle, a luxury goods web3 marketplace on Polygon. In just two months, we've seen over $200,000 in sales, connecting enthusiasts and dealers in a secure, transparent environment.
Our goal? To clarify the second hand luxury market's gray areas using digital product passports, guaranteeing each item's history. With Colle, we're not just merging the physical and digital realms — we're creating a space where trust, authenticity, and community thrive.
Product Offerings
Colle offers a meticulously curated selection of luxury watches from trusted dealers and collectors. Our marketplace is a gateway to exquisite craftsmanship and timeless elegance.
Our listings are a blend of traditional values and modern blockchain security, offering a transparent and trustworthy process from start to finish. Highlights include:
- Escrow Services: We secure funds in escrow until sale conditions are met, ensuring equitable transactions.
- Conflict Resolution: Our system provides a definitive record for straightforward dispute resolution.
- Royalty Payouts: Creators are rewarded for their contributions with automated royalty payouts, affirming our commitment to fair compensation.
- Product Transparency: When narrowing in on a product, the ownership history and price history are clearly visible.
- Buyer & Seller Reputation: Unlike traditional reviews, which can be cheated, our reputation comes from on-chain behavior. This makes it easy to check which buyers and sellers have a history of following through with deals, and which ones frequently find themselves in disputes.
Web3 Integration and Benefits
Colle leverages web3 technology to address critical issues in the luxury goods market, including ownership history and fair pricing, all while combating counterfeits and stolen goods.
Enhancing Trust and Transparency
- Counterfeit Detection: Every product is verified, either by the professional dealer selling it, or via our authentication centers.
- Ownership Assurance: Digital passports provide comprehensive histories for each watch, enhancing trust and value.
- Fair Pricing: We promote a fair, competitive marketplace to avoid overpricing. All sale history, listings and offers are transparently stored on the blockchain, empowering users to learn the real value of similar products before making your purchases.
Community Engagement
Colle is not only a marketplace but a community platform for enthusiasts to showcase and celebrate their collections. Users can display their luxury watches and share acquisitions, fostering a culture of appreciation and recognition.
Our commitment to web3 technology transcends mere trend-following; it's about improving the buying and selling experience, building a trustworthy community, and celebrating the world of luxury watches.

Moving Forward
Colle is dedicated to enhancing our platform with new features that reward engagement and encourage a vibrant community among luxury watch enthusiasts.

Disclaimer: As an engineer at Colle, I'm extending an exclusive invite to the Hive community to join Colle. Colle is a invite only luxury watch marketplace operating on the Polygon network. Signing up is easy via email, MetaMask, or WalletConnect.
Join us through this invitation link.
Thank you all for taking the time to give us a read and check us out. The platform is invite-only, however I created a referral link for the Hive community in my post, so the first 1000 Hive users who join via that link are pre-invited by me.
We've been heads down building for a little over a year now, and are finally feeling confident enough to share our product with the world. Our team is small, but passionate and devoted.
Again, thank you for the read. I love the Hive community and have for years. I understand most Hive users are not Polygon or Ethereum users, but if you know people who may be interested, feel free to share my invite link with your friends, or sign up and send your own invites yourself.
Have a fantastic day everyone :)
