Vintage bags you don’t want to miss

We call "vintage" a high-quality bag that was designed and introduced in collections that are no longer available by famous luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Dior or Hermès, for example.

They usually feature unique colors, patterns, and materials that you cannot find anymore in boutiques, but can also be items that were created in limited editions only.

Those bags were previously owned by fashion lovers like you, this is why we can also say second-hand, pre-owned or pre-loved accessories when it comes to defining vintage bags.

They are many reasons that could lead you to buy a second-hand luxury bag:

• Sustainability: by choosing a second-hand designer bag, you reduce consumption of new resources and contribute to circular fashion. An action that is as good for your wardrobe as it is for the environment.
• Rare pieces: brands always reinvent themselves and push limits of the creativity by designing new models and collaborating with different artists. Vintage bags are perfect if you are looking for limited editions.
• Superior quality: handbags of the past collections are famous for their exceptional quality because they were hand-made with premium materials, exclusive hardware, and a deep attention to details.
• Affordability: second-hand luxury bags are often cheaper compared to new pieces made by the fashion houses. A great way to start your collection and wear beautiful accessories at a fair price.

Choosing a pre-loved designer bag can be quite a challenge when there are so many choices available. Here is a list of elements to consider when selecting the perfect accessory for you:

• Brand: are you looking for a specific Hermès Birkin? Do you want a Dior saddle bag? Or do you prefer a Chanel classic flap? You should think about the brand which universe and aesthetic suits you the most.
• Model: do you want a practical Tote bag to carry everyday items? Or are you wishing for an elegant evening clutch bag for important events? Select the shape of the bag according to your needs.
• Budget: the price range of pre-owned bags can vary a lot depending on the condition and rarity of the piece. Do not forget to set a budget that you are willing to invest to make your decision easier.
• Style: do you prefer the glamorous style of Versace? Or are you more into the timeless and classic designs of Chanel? Make sure that the style of your next bag will perfectly complement your wardrobe.
• Condition: finally, do not forget to check the condition of your bag. Some only want pristine and brand new items while others would be happy to have a bag that shows some signs of use for a cheaper price.
