How Do We Source Bags?
We work directly with large scale auction houses who source items from consignors. When someone is no longer wanting a bag in their collection and wants to sell, they become a consignor by working with the auction houses to sell their bag.
Our partners have in house authenticators to ensure all items are have all the markers consistent with authentic brands.
Upon arrival, we contract another company to conduct an additional authentication. They provide a certificate of authenticity which goes to our clients upon making a purchase. This ensures all our clients can shop with confidence.

Why Preowned Luxury Bags are the Perfect Choice
Shopping second hand designer handbags isn’t just about saving money—it’s about owning a piece of fashion history while embracing sustainability. Second hand designer handbags carry the charm of vintage style with the quality and craftsmanship that luxury brands are known for.
Here are a few examples of vintage bags that have remained popular over the years. Thus, they have been redesigned several times and are still apart of fashion trends today.
Iconic Vintage Bags vs. Their Modern Counterparts
Mini Speedy HL vs. Nano Speedy
- The Mini Speedy HL is a compact version of Louis Vuitton’s iconic Speedy bag crafted from Louis Vuitton's durable monogram canvas. The mini speedy HL is smaller than the nano speedy, so it is more of a micro bag. It is ideal for carrying just the bare essentials. The Nano Speedy is slightly larger so it is a little more practical for every day. However, is still for the person who travels very light on a day to day basis.
Vintage Gucci Jackie vs. Modern Gucci Jackie
- The vintage Gucci Jackie (Gucci Jackie O bag) features a crescent-shaped silhouette with a clean, understated look. They are made with premium leather or canvas and features the signature square geometric lock closure. Meanwhile, the modern version is basically the same silhouette although they have added different finishes and coloured to the collection. The main distinguishing feature is the lock mechanism. The modern version has a hook closure instead of the well known piston and square closures created by Frida Giannini and Tom Ford.
Vintage Gucci Diana Bag vs. Modern Gucci Diana Bag
- The vintage Gucci Diana was originally introduced in 1991 and features a classic tote silhouette. It is crafted from smooth leather with bamboo handles and has a focus on clean, timeless lines. The updated model currently being sold now is very similar and maintains the shape of the bag. However, they have now added a extra leather tab to the front with the double G marmont emblem. The bamboo handles also feature an extra piece of leather to keep the shape of the bamboo.
By choosing second hand designer handbags, you can own these rare, timeless pieces at a fraction of their current cost, while still enjoying their unmatched quality and craftsmanship.
