5 reasons to buy a vintage designer bag
Vintage and second-hand are currently enjoying ever-increasing popularity. Buying vintage bags and fashion has become more and more of a trend in recent years. It's not just the price that plays a decisive role for buyers. Vintage designer bags and items of clothing are something very special. Often, special bag models are only available as second-hand or vintage bags, as they have been removed from the collection by the designers in recent years. A good example of this is the Randonnee by Louis Vuitton . We have summarized five reasons why it is worth buying a vintage designer bag for you.
1. Investment
In recent years, the prices of classics from Louis Vuitton,Chanel and MCM have been increased several times a year. Investing in a classic from one of these fashion houses is definitely worth it, as they never go out of fashion. The Noé from Louis Vuitton, the 2.55 from Chanel and the MCM shopper are particularly popular.
But designer bags from limited collections are also worth their money. The Birkin Bag from Hermes is particularly interesting. The "Himalaya" Birkin Bag was sold for around 338,000 in 2014. The value of your vintage designer bag will continue to rise .
2. History
Every pre-loved bag has a very special story due to its age. Isn't it particularly exciting to think about the journey that the vintage bag has already taken? A quick look at the data code of your Louis Vuitton vintage bag will tell you where the designer bag was made. And isn't it nice to think that your bag has perhaps already travelled around the world or been to a ball or two? Perhaps you'll find a bit of sand in one of the inside pockets, indicating a visit to the beach. Your vintage designer bag not only has a special story , its unique patina also gives your outfit a very special, individual look.
3. Cheaper
Buying a designer bag is definitely not a cheap pleasure. It is all the better that you can save money by buying a vintage or pre-loved bag and with the savings you can perhaps afford a second pre-loved bag. Vintage or second-hand designer bags are often 50 to 70 percent cheaper than their new siblings.
4. Quality
Unfortunately, there is an ever-increasing difference in quality between vintage bags and new ones. In recent decades, bags and clothing were designed to last for a long time. The most important feature in manufacturing was quality, so that the pieces lasted as long as possible. Unfortunately, this has changed in recent years and the quality of our clothing and bags has decreased. A good example of this is the 2.55 from Chanel. The hardware on vintage bags is genuinely gold-plated, but today the hardware on the classic is no longer gold-plated. The craftsmanship and art of making designer bags by hand used to be more important than it is today. Vintage designer bags have already stood the test of time. If you take proper care of your pre-loved bag, you will be able to enjoy it for a long time.
5. More sustainable
Buying a vintage bag is not only cheaper, but also more sustainable. The pre-loved bag or item of clothing you want to buy already exists and does not need to be produced anew. The vintage bag is already part of the economic cycle. From a sustainability perspective, the logical consequence is to buy vintage or pre-loved fashion. In recent years, there has been a rethinking in the consumer and fashion industry. Consumer behavior has changed and buying vintage and second-hand is more positive than ever. And doesn't it make much more sense to buy bags and items of clothing that are old, rather than ones that are made to look old?
