Vintage Designer Bags: Your Closet Could Be a Goldmine

Vintage Designer Bags: Your Closet Could Be a Goldmine

The luxury resale market is booming, with demand for pre-loved designer items soaring year on year. Savvy shoppers are increasingly keen to snap up coveted fashion pieces like handbags, clothing, jewellery and watches at bargain prices.

In some cases, the resale value of a luxury item actually exceeds its original retail price, as fashion enthusiasts seek out limited-edition pieces they missed the first time around, and are willing to pay a premium for their rarity.

This presents a unique opportunity for you to cash in on the trend and consign your hidden wardrobe treasures. Hansons Auctioneers will be hosting a specialist luxury goods and vintage fashion sale at their Staffordshire saleroom, Bishton Hall, on 9 September.

Following a recent Chanel exhibition at London's Victoria and Albert Museum, the demand for Chanel items, particularly shoes, handbags and jewellery, is particularly strong at auction. Hermes scarves are always in high demand, and Hermes bags are known to command prices exceeding their original retail value.

If you own items from brands like Dior, Louis Vuitton, Mulberry, Chanel or Hermes, and would like to have them valued for potential inclusion in the upcoming sale, please contact Fashion and Textile consultant Virginia Ewart via email at [email protected]

Don't let your vintage designer treasures gather dust in the back of your wardrobe! This could be your chance to turn your pre-loved possessions into a valuable investment.
